Guwahati: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has launched a new initiative to transform the state into a central hub for trade, logistics, and enterprise. By utilizing its geographic position, the government intends to foster stronger economic integration throughout the Northeast.
Sarma shared these development priorities on the social media platform X, emphasizing the need for better transport infrastructure and the economic revitalization of the Brahmaputra region. The state government aims to shift Assam from its current status as a transit region toward becoming a vibrant center for production and services.
"Our priorities for Assam and the North East are clear. We are determined to leverage our strategic location, strengthen regional integration and unlock the immense economic potential of the Brahmaputra," Sarma stated.
These efforts focus on expanding inland waterways, multimodal logistics networks, and cross-border connectivity. Through these projects, officials expect to attract new investments, create jobs, and cement Assam's role as a gateway to Southeast Asia under India's Act East policy.
