The state-of-the-art facility has been developed to provide comfortable accommodation and essential support services to residents of Arunachal Pradesh, strengthening the state's presence in New Delhi while addressing the needs of visitors from the northeastern state.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, Khandu said Arunachal Niwas represents the government's commitment to ensuring that citizens travelling to the capital have access to quality facilities and a welcoming environment. He noted that the project combines modern infrastructure, efficient planning, and a people-centric approach to serve the diverse requirements of visitors.
According to the Chief Minister, the complex has been built on a 2,600-square-metre plot with a total built-up area of 7,198 square metres. The building is designed as a ground-plus-eight-storey (G+8) structure with a basement, making it one of the most modern state guest facilities established by Arunachal Pradesh outside the state.
The newly inaugurated Arunachal Niwas offers 59 well-appointed guest rooms, including twin-sharing rooms, deluxe rooms, and specially designed accessible rooms to cater to different categories of guests. In addition, the facility includes nine dormitories for visitors and staff members.
The complex is equipped with a range of modern amenities, including a medical room, administrative offices, lounge and waiting areas, dining facilities, and a modern parking system. These integrated services are expected to provide convenience and comfort to guests while ensuring efficient management of the facility.

The Chief Minister emphasized that the inauguration of Arunachal Niwas is not merely the opening of a building but the creation of a dedicated space that reflects the identity, aspirations, and hospitality of the people of Arunachal Pradesh.
He expressed hope that the facility would serve generations of visitors and strengthen the connection between Arunachal Pradesh and the national capital. The inauguration was attended by dignitaries, officials, and members of the Arunachali community residing in New Delhi, who welcomed the new facility as a significant milestone for the state.
