ARUNACHAL PRADESH AS AN EMERGING POWER HOUSE

Abstract

Looking at the enormous hydro-electric  potentials of  Arunachal Pradesh, the power may be developed as industry and a  substantial  revenue  can be earned by selling the power to other states  of  the  country. If once, these hydro potentials are fully harnessed, it must turn the fate of the territory and serve the larger interest of the country. At the same time, the   fund   spent   by the government to function the diesel generators will be saved and the pollution created by them will be stopped.                  

        So far Arunachal economy is concerned, the consumption of commercial energy is a recent phenomenon. The consumption of commercial energy under industrial sector is at its lowest ebb. By and large, the industrial units are considerably small, where the use of manual labour is prominent. In some of the small scale industrial units and medium scale ones, the commercial energy is consumed. But such consumption accounts for insignificant quantity. During recent years, the use of commercial energy is noticed to have picked up. But the magnitude of the consumption of commercial energy under agricultural sector may be termed still insignificant.
