The vision of Viksit Arunachal is a long-term developmental vision to make Arunachal Pradesh a prosperous, inclusive and sustainable state. But, despite these significant advances in health, education and infrastructure, gender inequality is still a chronic structural issue. Women are actively involved in agricultural activities, household production, and social life but they are under-represented in formal jobs, decision-making, political institutions, and property ownership in Arunachal Pradesh. The paper addresses the multi-dimensionality of the gender gap in Arunachal Pradesh with the help of secondary data sources like NFHS reports, Census data and literature on the subject. The research identifies gender disparities in the state as not only social but also structural, as a result of customary laws, restricted economic opportunities and unequal access to resources. The paper ends by stating that to realize one's dream of a Viksit Arunachal it is imperative to eliminate gender disparity. The gender gap in India is not only a grave violation of gender equality; it is also a significant obstacle to economic growth. The gender gap in India is not only a violation of the gender equality but it is also a hindrance in economic development of the country.
