Saha leaned on specific projects to overhaul the state's education system. The plan targets expanding the Vidya Jyoti, Ashram, and Eklavya Model Residential schools. The state also wants to roll out more smart classrooms and take a hard line on cutting school dropout rates.
Economic talks moved into the state's natural assets. The pair looked at squeezing more value from bamboo, horticulture, and fisheries. They also plotted to link local entrepreneurs with the Atal Innovation Mission.
The push for growth extends to bricks and mortar. Infrastructure talk centered on expanding railway lines and upgrading airports in Kailashahar and Kamalpur. Tourism efforts will focus on the Buddhist Circuit, local homestays, and preserving the historical site at Unakoti.
