The Assam Cabinet, led by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, has taken several key decisions to boost investment, job creation, and economic growth in the state. The cabinet has resolved to create opportunities for investment, generate more jobs, subsidize foodgrains, and enhance dairy production. One of the major announcements is the approval for Amul to set up a dairy processing plant with a capacity of one lakh liters per day. The plant, which will be set up at an approximate cost of ₹75 crore, is expected to benefit around 20,000 dairy farmers and is part of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed during the Advantage Assam 2.0 summit.
The cabinet has also approved the distribution of subsidized sugar, salt, and masur dal to beneficiaries under the National Food Security Act (NFSA) from October 2025. The subsidized items will be provided in separate packets, allowing beneficiaries to buy only what they want, at a cost of ₹10 for salt, ₹38 for sugar, and ₹69 for masur dal. The government has also approved a plan to boost private investment in the state and create more job opportunities, with two proposals under the Industrial and Investment Policy of Assam (IIPA) expected to generate around 1,000 jobs.
In addition, the cabinet has approved the enhancement of the monthly honorarium of 1,313 part-time ICT instructors under Dr. Banikanta Kakati Computer Literacy Programme to ₹20,000 from October 2025. The government has also extended the service guarantee for the instructors until the age of 60 years and made them eligible for various welfare schemes. Overall, the Assam Cabinet’s decisions aim to promote economic growth, create job opportunities, and improve the standard of living for the people of Assam. With these initiatives, the state government hopes to attract more investment, boost dairy production, and provide subsidized foodgrains to those in need.
The Assam Government is committed to creating a favorable business environment and promoting investment in the state. The cabinet’s decisions are expected to have a positive impact on the state’s economy and contribute to the overall development of Assam. The state government’s efforts to promote dairy production, provide subsidized foodgrains, and create job opportunities are likely to benefit the people of Assam and contribute to the state’s economic growth. With these initiatives, the Assam Government is taking a significant step towards achieving its goal of making Assam a hub for investment and economic growth.
