Itanagar, Dec 28 (PTI) The Arunachal Pradesh

of Rs 1,598.49 crore in 2017-18, reaching a new high in the

culture in the last two years. The Team Arunachal mantra has
ignited minds of the employees to deliver goods to the people
of the state. This has resulted in multiplying the state
revenue collection," the official said.
The BJP government in the state is making an all out
effort to reach the Rs 2,000 crore mark in 2018-19, he said.
The source of revenue generation by the state

transparency and unprecedented development in all sectors."
