Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma highlighted the state’s consistent economic growth and financial responsibility, aiming for a “Viksit Assam” through sustainable development and careful financial management.
Sarma shared that Assam has maintained a revenue surplus for five consecutive years, showcasing robust fiscal health and disciplined financial governance. The state’s contribution to the national GDP has also risen significantly, from 1.71% in 2020-21 to 1.95% in 2024-25.
This economic expansion is attributed to the government’s focus on infrastructure, investment promotion, fiscal discipline, and welfare-oriented governance, strengthening Assam’s economic base. Sarma emphasized that a “Viksit Assam” relies on fiscal prudence and continual economic growth.
Maintaining a revenue surplus for five years signifies that Assam has consistently generated more revenue than expenditure, ensuring sound public finance management. The increasing GDP contribution underscores Assam’s growing role in the national economy, reflecting the government’s commitment to building a progressive Assam.
Officials noted the government’s efforts in expanding infrastructure, enhancing connectivity, attracting industrial investments, and fortifying financial systems for long-term economic stability. Emphasizing fiscal prudence as a top priority, the government continues to implement welfare programs and development initiatives across various sectors.
The latest data coincides with Assam’s positioning as a burgeoning economic and investment center in the Northeast, with a focus on driving growth in industries, agriculture, tourism, and services sectors.
