A new era begins in "sacred land" of Northeast: PM
Inaugurating the two-day Advantage Assam 2.0 Investment and Infrastructure Summit in Guwahati on Tuesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the event is a great campaign to connect the whole world with the possibilities and progress of the state that boasts an economy of around Rs 6 lakh crore.
"History is witness to the major role played by eastern India in India's prosperity. Today, as we progress towards Viksit Bharat, these regions will display their true potential," the PM said. He asserted that it was a beginning of new era in the "sacred land" of the Northeast.
"Despite global instability, experts unanimously agree on one certainty: India's rapid growth," he added. Prime Minister Modi emphasized Assam's rich industrial heritage and its potential to become a dominant force in India's industrial landscape.
The Advantage Assam 2.0 summit witnessed record-breaking investment commitments across various sectors. Industry titans pledged over Rs 1.22 lakh crore in investments.
The summit serves as a platform to showcase Assam's industrial ecosystem, strategic locational advantages, tailored investment policies, and an expansive market with immense potential to generate lucrative returns.
Reaffirming the Indian government's steadfast commitment to Assam's industrial development, PM Modi lauded the state's efforts in diversifying its economy particularly by focusing on technology and manufacturing.
