Arunachal Pradesh, 6 July: The District Level Committee meeting on the ‘One District One Product’ initiative convened on Friday at the conference hall of the DC Office, Tawang.

Addressing the gathering, DC Tawang emphasized the importance of selecting a product that reflects the district’s identity, citing successful examples from other states and districts. He stressed the need for sustainability and market appeal, highlighting their role as potential mementos.
