Prime Minister Narendra Modi is in Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh, to inaugurate the Dorjee Khandu State Convention Centre in the state capital. The Centre is expected to become a significant landmark of the city.


"Jis Arunachal se prakaash failta hai, aane waale dinon mein bhi yahaan vikas ka aisa prakaash phailega ki poora desh dekhega. The Arunachal from which the sun rises, in the coming days, it will be from here that the rays of development will take place.


"I am personally going to tell people -- go to Arunachal Pradesh and hold your important meetings at the convention centre.


"Why should meetings only be held in the national capital? We must go to all states and that is why I came to Shillong for a Northeastern Council meeting and an important meeting related to agriculture was held in Sikkim."


The Prime Minister will also dedicate the State Civil Secretariat Building to the nation and lay the foundation stone of the Academic Block of the Tomo Riba Institute of Health and Medical Science.


The PM said healthcare has to be of good quality and it must be affordable. "We are working towards building medical colleges across the country. This is because, when one studies in a particular area, one becomes better acquainted with the local health challenges.  


"Iss desh mein paise ki kami nahi hai, lekin agar baalti mein chedd ho toh paani bharega kya? Humaare desh mein pehle aise hi chala hai.


"Morarji Desai was the last PM to attend the North East Council meeting, no PM had the time to attend it after that. They became very busy. But I have come because of you. That's why I went to attend the North East Council meeting," the PM said.
