ౠAssam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has asserted that the state is witnessing accelerated development, with government initiatives fueling the growth.
☂He expressed confidence that Assam will be among the top states in the country within a few years if this pace of development is maintained.
꧅Sarma was speaking after inaugurating projects worth Rs 114.17 crore in Jagiroad in Morigaon district on Sunday.
𒆙Addressing a public gathering, he said the government was on track to fulfilling its promises, including providing jobs to one lakh youths.
🌼Among other measures are providing loan without mortgages to youths under the Chief Minister's Atmanirbhar Asom Abhijan.
🐼With the aim of ushering in a movement of inclusive financial empowerment, an amount of Rs 10,000 each shall be credited to the accounts of the 40-lakh members of self-help groups, the CM added.
𓆉He said the accelerated development is also owing to an environment that keeps strifes and strikes at bay.
🍬"Another 10 years without strikes and 'andolans' would lead to Assam becoming one of the top five states on all fronts," Sarma said.
🀅Sarma also said his government took a "bold decision" to allocate a sum of Rs 810 crore to resolve the vexed issues related to the paper mills of Hindustan Paper Corporation Ltd in Jagiroad and Cachar.
⛦The amount was utilised to mitigate various issues, including compensation to affected workers of the mills, which were shut down due to various factors.
