WCD Min assesses progress of Goiliang-Glotonglat road under VVP

ITANAGAR, Feb 14: Women and Child Development Minister Dasanglu Pul today reviewed the progress of the road from Goiliang to Glotonglat, as part of Vibrant Villages Programme (VVP) and also inspected several ongoing education and administrative infrastructure projects in Anjaw district’s Goiliang circle.

Inspecting the road construction site, Dasanglu directed the executing agency and contractor to maintain strict quality standards and adhere to the stipulated timeline, stressing that the project is crucial for remote habitations.

“This road is of immense importance for our people and there will be no compromise in its execution,” she said, noting that residents of Glotonglat, Palaliang and Chiranglat have long endured nearly 12 hours of difficult travel to access basic services.

Highlighting the expected impact, the Minister added, “By 2027, improved connectivity will bring healthcare and education closer, reduce isolation and open new livelihood opportunities for our remote communities.”

She also reviewed on-ground progress of multiple infrastructure works at Goiliang headquarters and nearby areas, including the new Circle Office building, four-unit teachers’ quarters, 20-bedded boys’ and girls’ hostels for GUPS Goiliang, a new school building for GUPS Gamliang, and a boys’ hostel at Gamliang.

Expressing satisfaction over the pace of work, Dasanglu said that improved classrooms, residential facilities and administrative infrastructure would create a supportive environment for children in far-flung areas.

“Our commitment goes beyond construction; it is about creating opportunities, empowering communities and building a strong foundation for the future,” the Minister said, adding that the government would continue to monitor the projects closely to ensure timely completion and inclusive development in border regions.
