Sarma's Vision: 'Non-Negotiable' Future for Assam

As Himanta Biswa Sarma enters his second term as Assam's Chief Minister, he reaffirmed the state's commitment to safeguarding its land, identity, and future. In a bold declaration, Sarma announced plans to reclaim 5 lakh bighas of land from encroachment within the next five years.

The state's economic agenda includes bolstering livelihoods by raising tea garden workers' wages and providing Rs 5 lakh in entrepreneurship support to 10 lakh youths. Sarma's government aims to foster self-reliance among Assam's residents by creating extensive job opportunities and empowering local growth.

Preserving Assam's cultural heritage remains a priority, with initiatives to safeguard sacred sites. Infrastructure and healthcare sectors are set for significant upgrades, promising robust development in roads, bridges, and medical facilities to secure a prosperous future.
