Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma highlighted the success of the state government’s Unnati initiative, which is driving industrial growth in Assam. Under this initiative, 35 industrial units worth ₹5,067 crore have been approved, along with the sanctioning of 26 industrial estates across the state. The focus is on attracting investments, fostering development, and creating job opportunities, especially for the youth of Assam.
The approved industrial units cover various sectors such as manufacturing, agro-processing, logistics, and allied industries, aiming to generate a significant number of direct and indirect jobs. These industrial estates will offer essential infrastructure, land, and connectivity to attract investors and streamline business operations in the state. Assam’s development strategy emphasizes industrialization, complementing investments in infrastructure, skill development, and connectivity.
The state government’s initiative also aims to promote industrial activities in regions beyond major urban centers, decentralizing growth and economic opportunities. Chief Minister Sarma stresses the importance of empowering the youth economically to secure Assam’s future and reduce migration. By combining the industrial push with targeted skill development programs, the government aims to enhance local youth’s employability and entrepreneurial spirit.
Assam has witnessed a surge in investor interest in recent years due to policy reforms, improved law and order, and expedited project approvals. Incentives have been introduced to attract private investors and major industries to the state. The government’s focus remains on sustainable industrial growth that considers both economic development and environmental impact. The objective is to create employment, strengthen the economy, and ensure inclusive growth across all regions of Assam. The Unnati initiative plays a crucial role in the state’s vision to position Assam as a prominent industrial and investment hub in the Northeast.
