The Arunachal Pradesh Cabinet, under Chief Minister Pema Khandu, has approved several important measures aimed at improving sectors such as education, financial management, health administration, employee welfare, and climate action. In education, five significant resolutions were made, including regulating teacher transfers through new legislation, granting professorships to college educators per UGC Regulations 2018, amending recruitment rules for government college principals, establishing regulations for Physical Education Teachers, and revising the state’s reservation policy for diploma programs.
A critical legislative measure is the Arunachal Pradesh Transfer and Posting of Employees of Education Department (Regulation & Management) Bill, 2026, which shifts from a policy-based transfer system to a more transparent, statutory framework supported by technology through an automated Teachers’ Registry Portal. New hiring regulations for Physical Education Teachers were also introduced to ensure a systematic approach to recruitment in government schools.
In higher education, the approval of professorship for government college teachers aims to boost research quality and academic standards, while the revised recruitment rules for college principals are now aligned with updated UGC guidelines. The Cabinet also sanctioned an amendment to the existing reservation policy concerning diploma and related programs.
Additionally, the Cabinet released the Pakke Declaration Implementation Report-2025, assessing advancements in climate-resilient development initiatives outlined in the Pakke Tiger Reserve 2047 Declaration from November 2021. The report shows considerable progress, with 246 out of 410 action items under 75 climate-resilient strategies completed, 70 ongoing, and 94 still in the initial stages.
