Prime Minister Modi laid the foundation stone for various other projects worth over Rs 55,000 crore, reinforcing the government’s commitment to the development of the Northeast.
Speaking about this inauguration at the Viksit Bharat – Viksit Northeast event in Arunachal Pradesh, Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted the government’s focus on Mission Palm Oil, with a special focus on Northeast, to not only achieve Atmanirbharta but also to empower farmers and boost farmer income.

The commencement of operations of the country’s first oil palm processing unit by 3F Oil Palm in Arunachal Pradesh is in line to encourage domestic oilseeds production. Northeast holds immense potential for palm oil production, and we have already invested Rs 100 crore in the region and have planned investments of Rs 1100 crore in Assam and Arunachal Pradesh by 2030 creating jobs for 1,700 people.
