Highlights of Narendra Modi’s speech-
• The central government and Assam government are working together to develop the state’s infrastructure and enhance the productivity of all sectors.
• PM Modi said, “government is spending more on fisheries sector in Assam since Independence. A scheme of Rs. 20000 crores have been sanctioned for the purpose.”
• The completion of Bogibeel Bridge and broad gauge railway line in North Bank have been done by the Bharatiya Janata Party-led government.
• The Assam government is working towards the creation of colleges for girls and polytechnic colleges in the region.
• The Dhemaji Engineering College is the first engineering college in North Bank.
• The Assam government is working at a massive level for such colleges for girls and even polytechnic colleges in the region.
• Taking a dig on the previous government, Modi said, “those who ruled the country for decades never considered North-East as a vital part of India.”
• The New Education Policy is going to benefit Assam the most.
Our govt is spending more on the fisheries sector than the amount that has been invested in the sector since Independence!
Our govt has brought a scheme worth Rs 20,000 crore for the same, which will benefit Assamese people as well.
