The New Indian Express Tirunelveli
|July 12, 2025
With an eye on China developing a major hydroelectricity project in the vicinity of Arunachal Pradesh, the Centre has accelerated the development of its mega dam in the Siang upper valley in the state, which will be the country's biggest, despite protests by local villagers who are at risk of eviction due to the potential submergence of their land.
The Prime Minister's Office (PMO) is set to assess the progress of the Upper Siang Multipurpose Storage Project, India's strategic water and power project, on July 15.
Dr. P.K. Mishra, Principal Secretary of the Prime Minister, will chair the high-level review meeting in New Delhi, senior officials said.
The meeting will be attended by the Home Secretary, Foreign Secretary, Secretary (Water Resources Department), Arunachal Pradesh Chief Secretary and DGP, Secretary (Road Transport and Highways), CMD of the National Hydropower Corporation (NHPC), and Intelligence Bureau Director.

Six Aces for Higher Education’s Swadeshi Six-pack
Prime Minister Modi’s patriotic appeal for Swadeshi Bharat for Viksit Bharat is a wake-up call for those dreaming elsewhere and living in Bharat. Modi’s “Garv Se Kaho Yeh Swadeshi Hai” is a proud roar of a tiger economy that is experiencing the second coming of its first leadership position in the global comity of nations. The re-imagination of India towards Viksit Bharat @ 2047 is a multidimensional policy prescription that cuts across all socioeconomic growth sectors like public infrastructure, defence, manufacturing, healthcare, education, Agriculture, etc. With active public and private participation in various economic spheres spurring growth, the push for alternate models of engagement with social sectors like education and healthcare cannot come at a time more appropriate than now.
