A one day “Training cum Input Distribution Programme of Apple Planting Materials” under NEC funded project of ICAR for NEH Region, A.P. CENTRE BASAR was organized by KVK Anjaw at Chaglongam circle of Anjaw district sharing international boundaries with China.
The tribal people residing in this part of the district are Digaru Mishmis.

Hence, to encourage and promote the scientific cultivation of Apple plants, ICAR For NEH Region Arunachal Pradesh Centre, Basar scheduled a distribution programme of Apple under NEC funded project on 20th February 2019. For wider circulation of the programme among the farming community, Mr. Neelam Tan, Circle Officer (CO) of Chaglongam provided his full support. Hence, after a road blockade for 19 days, the programme was successfully conducted on 12th March 2019. Altogether 54 farmers, farm women and rural youths from different villages of Chaglongam circle i.e. Chaglongam, Abohagam, Tegamna, Taflagam, Tablaiko and Khelega Metengliang villages attended the training programme.
The programme started with the welcome address by Ms Rebecca Eko, SMS Horticulture, KVK Anjaw.
