Guwahati: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has unveiled a 12-day festival of development across the state, aiming to deliver benefits to 12 lakh people through various welfare measures.
The initiative includes transformative programs such as the distribution of scooties to girl children, scholarships and bicycles for girl students, loan waivers for mothers, and financial assistance to flood-affected families.
Speaking at a press briefing, the Chief Minister highlighted a key component of the initiative—loan waivers for women.
