‘Advantage Assam’: State Cabinet expresses gratitude towards PM Modi

Guwahati, March 4 (SocialNews.XYZ) The Assam government has expressed its sincere gratitude towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his contribution towards arranging the investment summit ‘Advantage Assam’ 2.0.

We have also finalised a mechanism to scrutinise the MoUs signed.”

The recently held investment summit–Advantage Assam 2.0, has attracted investments worth at least Rs 4.5 lakh crore.

“Sectors like hydrocarbons, which is our forte, and mines and minerals have attracted the most investment. We are now focusing on making Assam a developed industrial state like it was in 1947. Assam was the first industrial state of the country,” Sarma earlier said.

According to him, the success of the summit highlights Assam's growing potential as an investment hub.

“With its abundant natural resources, strategic geographic location, and progressive policies, the state has been steadily working towards establishing itself as a key player in India's industrial landscape. The massive investment influx is expected to boost employment opportunities, infrastructure development, and overall economic growth in the region,” Sarma stated.

The Cheif Minister mentioned: “In recognition of the unparalleled contribution of the Tata Group and its Chairman Emeritus, Late Shri Ratan Naval Tata (the first Assam Vaibhav awardee) himself, Cabinet has approved the naming of the entire area covered by Assam Semiconductor & Electronics Logistics Park (ASELP), Jagiroad Tata OSAT center, proposed township with the social Infrastructure, as Ratan Tata Electronics City (RTEC), Jagiroad.”

Sarma noted that the semiconductor plants in Gujarat and Assam, alongside upcoming projects in quantum physics and artificial intelligence, would be developed in India.

He stressed that India would provide the skilled workforce needed in these sectors, not only for the nation but also for global demands.

“To prepare for this, I urge the need to equip India’s youth with the necessary skills. The semiconductor project at Jagiroad is progressing rapidly, with production expected to begin by the end of the year,” he said.

असम के इलेक्ट्रॉनिक शहर का नाम रतन टाटा: हिमंत सरमा के नाम पर रखा जाएगा

जागी रोड में आगामी इलेक्ट्रॉनिक शहर, जो भारत के पहले अर्धचालक संयंत्र की मेजबानी करेगा, का नाम उद्योगपति और परोपकारी रतन टाटा के नाम पर रखा जाएगा, असम के मुख्यमंत्री हिमंत बिस्वा सरमा ने मंगलवार को घोषणा की। एक कैबिनेट बैठक के दौरान लिया गया निर्णय, श्री टाटा को सम्मानित करने के लिए है, जिनकी मृत्यु 9 अक्टूबर, 2024 को हुई थी, मुख्यमंत्री ने कहा।

श्री सरमा के अनुसार, असम में अर्धचालक संयंत्र स्थापित करने का श्री टाटा का निर्णय एक गेम चेंजर रहा है।

“टाटा समूह और दिवंगत रतन राटा के योगदान के लिए मान्यता में, राज्य कैबिनेट ने सेमीकंडक्टर प्लांट, इलेक्ट्रॉनिक पार्क, और प्रस्तावित इलेक्ट्रॉनिक सिटी टाउनशिप को रतन टाटा इलेक्ट्रॉनिक सिटी के रूप में प्रस्तावित करने वाले पूरे क्षेत्र का नाम देने का फैसला किया है। अगर रतन टाटा ने अर्धचालक प्लांट की स्थापना करने के लिए बहुत ही रुचि नहीं ली होगी।

आगामी इलेक्ट्रॉनिक शहर पूर्वोत्तर का पहला होगा, जो अर्धचालक और उन्नत इलेक्ट्रॉनिक्स पर ध्यान केंद्रित करेगा।

श्री टाटा का असम के साथ एक लंबा संबंध था, जहां टाटा समूह ने चाय उद्योग में शुरुआती निवेश किया था। नवीनतम 27,000 करोड़ रुपये के चिप असेंबली प्लांट को जमीन तोड़ने वाला था जो असम को एक प्रमुख अर्धचालक हब के रूप में विकसित करने के लिए तैयार है।

2022 में, श्री टाटा को राज्य के सर्वोच्च नागरिक पुरस्कार असम बैभव के साथ सम्मानित किया गया था।

इसके अतिरिक्त, दिवंगत उद्योगपति ने असम में कैंसर की देखभाल को आगे बढ़ाने के लिए एक असाधारण योगदान भी दिया। उन्होंने असम युद्ध कैंसर में मदद करने के लिए इस परियोजना की कल्पना की थी, और ध्यान उन गरीब रोगियों की मदद करने के लिए किया गया था जो महंगा कैंसर उपचार नहीं कर सकते थे।

#AssamCabinet

Guwahati, Dec 7 (SocialNews.XYZ) At the first meeting after the expansion of the Himanta Biswa Sarma-led cabinet in Assam, some key decisions were taken on Saturday.

“To bring the administration to the doorstep of the citizens and strive for the equitable development of Barak Valley, the Cabinet has approved the creation of the Barak Valley Development Department. The Dept will benefit the people of Cachar, Sribhumi and Hailakandi through rapid development and create job opportunities for support staff,” the Assam government said in a statement.

Four ministers were inducted into the cabinet on Saturday. Prasanta Phookan, Kaushik Rai, Krishnendu Paul and Rupesh Goala took oath as ministers.

This is the first expansion of the cabinet since Himanta Biswa Sarma assumed office as the Chief Minister of the state three years ago.

Kaushik Rai is believed to be the replacement for Parimal Suklabaidya as both of them belong to the same district.

Rupesh Goala is a legislator from the Doom Dooma constituency in the Tinsukia district.

Both Rai and Gola became MLAs in the 2021 Assembly polls while Paul won on a BJP ticket twice from the Patharkandi Assembly seat.

Prasanta Phookan is a senior BJP leader and a four-time MLA from Dibrugarh.

#AssamCabinet

Guwahati, Nov 19 (SocialNews.XYZ) Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday asserted that Rabindranath Tagore described the Karimganj district as Sribhumi and the state government decided in line with this to change the name of this district.

Taking to X, Sarma wrote: “Over 100 years ago, Kabiguru Rabindranath Tagore had described modern-day Karimganj District in Assam as ‘Sribhumi’- the land of Maa Lakshmi. Today the #AssamCabinet has fulfilled this long-standing demand of our people.”

Earlier, Sarma told reporters: “The state cabinet has decided to change the name of Karimganj district to Shribumi. This was done keeping in mind the historical significance of the place. In our state, many places were named that do not go well with the cultural value of that location and we will gradually rename those places giving due importance to their historical trait.”

He also said that the ruling dispensation had earlier changed the names of a few places.

“In the recent past, locations like Kalapahar and Sarabhatti in Guwahati city were renamed. This practice will be continued in the upcoming days,” CM Sarma added.

Assam has 35 districts, including Karimganj—now Sribumi district. In addition to being the largest town in the district, Karimganj serves as the administrative headquarters of the district. It is situated in southern Assam and has borders with Bangladesh's Sylhet Division and Tripura. Together with Hailakandi and Cachar, it forms the Barak Valley.

Prior to India's partition, Karimganj was a part of the Sylhet District. In 1983, it was made a district.

In 1778, Karimganj was first created as a 40-paragana sector of the Sylhet district.

The district is 1,809 square kilometres in size. Cachar District borders it on the northeast, Hailakandi District borders it on the east and south, Mizoram borders it on the south, Tripura State borders it on the southwest, and Bangladesh borders it on the west and northwest.
