A major step was the State Cabinet's agreement on a Transfer and Posting Policy for nurses at all levels in the Health and Family Welfare Department.

The council of ministers agreed on a resolution that would create an ARC, which would improve the governance system and better challenges in the administration of the state. This ARC will examine the current governance system and formulate ways to improve it for a more efficient, people-centered, and accountable administration.
It decided to introduce an amendment to the Arunachal Pradesh Victim Compensation Scheme, 2011, and also adopted the Arunachal Pradesh Victim Compensation Scheme, 2024 wherein compensation amount against certain listed crimes of scheduled annexed therewith, has increased.
Amendment in Arunachal Pradesh State Human Rights Commission Service Rules 2022, was also approved.
The Council of Ministers decided on a scheme to grant Special Grades to Police Constables, Head Constables, and Assistant Sub-Inspectors in the Civil Police, APPBn, and IRBn apart from the Motor Transport and Telecom wings of the Police Department.
Such a decision brings timely career advancement within the police department of Arunachal Pradesh through honorary promotion.

It also cleared a similar relaxation of Recruitment Rules for Nursing Officers that will permit the absorption of already in-service contractual Nursing Officers through seniority, along with amendments discussed in the meeting.
The Cabinet agreed to formulate Recruitment Rules for Assistant Professors, Assistant Directors of Nursing, Associate Professors, and Assistant Nursing Superintendents with the Health and Family Welfare Department.
