Chintala on his part assured to provide more support to Arunachal Pradesh, stating that “the state has tremendous scope for expansion under agriculture and horticulture crops.”

He emphasized the need to introduce scientific cropping system with more farm mechanization and farming technology, and to establish backward linkages.
