Itanagar, Sep 19: The 37th meeting of the State Level Screening Committee (SLSC) on Border Area Development Programme (BADP) was held under the chairmanship of Chief Secretary Naresh Kumar here at the CS Conference Hall of Civil Secretariat on Wednesday last. 
The meeting was attended by the Principal Secretary Dr. A.C. Verma, senior officers, Deputy Commissioners or their representatives, District Planning Officers, representative from ITBP and others. Addressing the members, Chief Secretary asked the DCs to propose schemes which will have strong and lasting impact on the villagers of these border areas and directed them to select one village under Border Blocks from their districts to be developed as Model Village under BADP. While emphasizing on quality of projects as well as their timely completion, CS further directed the concerned Deputy Commissioners to personally visit project sites especially those dealing with security aspects and send reports accordingly in every alternate month.

Apart from this, status of VKV projects in Mukto (Tawang), Nafra (Khazallang, West Kameng), Boo (Anini, Dibang Valley) and others were reviewed along with the latest status of the on-going/completed projects under BADP schemes. PRO CS
