A new Livelihood Support Centre has been inaugurated in Kalaktang, Arunachal Pradesh to assist self‑help groups and rural households with training, market linkage and financial guidance.
Kalaktang in Arunachal Pradesh witnessed the opening of a Livelihood Support Centre aimed at strengthening self‑help groups (SHGs) and the surrounding rural community. The centre was inaugurated by state officials as part of a broader effort to boost rural economies in the region.
The facility will offer skill‑development workshops, market‑linkage assistance, and guidance on accessing credit and government schemes. Local SHGs are expected to use the centre to diversify income sources, improve product quality, and reach larger buyers.
Authorities anticipate that the centre will create sustainable livelihood opportunities for hundreds of families, reducing migration pressures and contributing to the state's poverty‑reduction targets. A senior government representative highlighted that the initiative aligns with Arunachal Pradesh's Rural Development Programme, which seeks to empower villages through capacity building and financial inclusion.
