Overview
- New capacity came online with the largest-in-Northeast terminal at Guwahati’s Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport and the Gateway of Guwahati river terminal and jetty on the Brahmaputra.
- The state advanced an investment-focused agenda through Advantage Assam, prioritising energy, agro-based value chains, tourism and logistics, alongside credit and skills support for small and medium enterprises.
- Social programmes expanded through direct benefit transfers, rural housing, drinking water and electrification, while more government services moved online to speed delivery and improve transparency.
- Flood resilience efforts intensified through embankment works, early-warning systems and strengthened response mechanisms, which officials say reduced loss of life in several cases.
- Cultural visibility grew with a major international concert and a proposal for ASSAMSAT to support agriculture, disaster management and connectivity, even as unemployment, congestion and regional disparities remained pressing challenges.
