Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said Assam is turning into a destination for start-ups and will soon become a hub of manufacturing in the northeast region.
“land of limitless opportunities” with peace accords signed with insurgent groups and resolved border disputes, PM Modi said after inaugurating ‘Advantage Assam 2.0 Investment and Infrastructure Summit’ here.
“Assam is a land of limitless opportunities with peace accords and resolved border disputes. The state is moving fast towards development. Assam’s natural resources and strategic location as a gateway to South East Asia have made the state a preferred destination for investors,” Modi said.
He added, “Assam is turning into a destination for start-up units and will become a manufacturing hub for the northeast soon.”
Modi also asserted that the value of Assam’s economy has doubled to Rs 6 lakh crore during the BJP rule, and this is an effect of the ‘double-engine’ government.
“Amid global instability, there is certainty of India’s economic growth,” he said.
