One of the first issues, the APPSU puts light upon is the reformation in the primary level education by focusing on integrating defunct schools through the school clusters method i.e., they should consider the grouping of the students within the same geographical location and also consider the strength and ability of the students so that they can study in a conducive learning environment with proper peer and healthy competition.

APPSU also demanded mandatory transfer of teachers after every 3 years without any political influence.

They further stated that there should be educational tours and regulation of fee structure of privately funded education institutions among others.

APPSU's second focus was on the health sector of the state. Due to the unavailability of doctors in the rural areas of the state, the union demands a compulsory rural posting of health sector employees for a minimum of 3 years.

Then comes the demand for dialysis centres at every district headquarters of the state due to the increasing number of kidney patients and the expense that comes with it, be it the travel expenses or the treatment.

Further, AAPSU talks about the boundary, immigration and refugee related-issues and also thanks the leaders of Arunachal and Assam for working on the boundary issues of the states which were one of the core issues of AAPSU's.

The union is of the opinion that when it comes to the development of the state even if it’s the setting up of hydro projects, until and unless it’s not harmful or impactful to the people residing in the area as well as the environment, people should support the cause as it will bring employment opportunities to many among other opportunities.
