Guwahati: At the ongoing Advantage Assam 2.0 summit, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on February 25 lauded the state’s remarkable progress under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Addressing industry leaders and dignitaries, he reflected on the inception of the initiative, recalling that the first edition of Advantage Assam was launched on February 3 and 4, 2018, with the Prime Minister’s vision for economic growth in the Northeast.
A major highlight of his address was the announcement of a Green Field Fertilizer Plant for Assam, sanctioned in the Union Budget.
