==History==
On 29 December 1969, the Agency Council, an apex advisory body for the governance of the [[North-East Frontier Agency]] (present-day Arunachal Pradesh), came into existence, with the [[Governor of Assam]] as its chairman. The Agency Council was replaced by the Pradesh Council on 2 October 1972. On 15 August 1975 the Pradesh Council was converted to the Provisional Legislative Assembly. Initially, the Legislative Assembly comprised 33 members, of which, 30 members were directly elected from single-seat constituencies and 3 members were nominated by the Union government. On attainment of the statehood on 20 February 1987, the number was raised to 60.<ref>{{cite web|title=Arunachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly-Introduction|url=http://legislativebodiesinindia.nic.in/States/Arunachal/arunachal-w.pdf|publisher=Legislative Bodies in India website|access-date=29 January 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110928085441/http://legislativebodiesinindia.nic.in/States/Arunachal/arunachal-w.pdf|archive-date=28 September 2011|url-status=dead}}</ref>
