Rameswar Teli assumes charge of key Assam departments, offers prayer at Janata Bhawan office

Assam Minister Rameswar Teli assumes charge of Transformation & Development, Labour Welfare, and Tea Tribes & Adivasi Welfare at Janata Bhawan, Guwahati.

"Before beginning any new responsibility, we remember God and seek blessings. - Rameswar Teli"

Guwahati, May 15

Veteran Bharatiya Janata Party leader and Assam Minister Rameswar Teli on Friday formally assumed charge of his newly allocated departments at Janata Bhawan and said he would work with dedication for the welfare and development of the people of the state.

Minister Teli has been allocated the departments of Transformation and Development, Labour Welfare, and Tea Tribes and Adivasi Welfare in the Assam government.

Speaking to reporters after taking charge of his office, the Minister added that he began his new responsibility by offering prayers, describing it as part of the Hindu tradition of seeking blessings before starting important work.

"Before beginning any new responsibility, we remember God and seek blessings. Today, after visiting the office and taking charge, prayers were offered for a positive and successful beginning," Minister Teli said.

The Minister visited his office located on the D-block of Janata Bhawan and participated in a brief ceremonial prayer programme attended by officials and supporters.

He said that he was grateful to the Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and the party leadership for entrusting him with important responsibilities in the state Cabinet.

He also added that he would prioritise public welfare and work towards effective implementation of government schemes in the departments under his charge.

The allocation of the Tea Tribes and Adivasi Welfare department to Minister Teli is being viewed as politically significant, considering the BJP-led government's continued focus on welfare initiatives for tea garden workers and tea tribe communities across Assam.

Tea tribes constitute a major voter base in several Upper Assam districts and have remained politically important in the state's electoral landscape.

Officials said the departments under Minister Teli are expected to play a key role in the implementation of labour welfare schemes, social development programmes, and policy initiatives related to tea garden areas.

The Transformation and Development department is also considered crucial for coordination and monitoring of government projects aimed at improving administrative efficiency and development outcomes.

The inclusion of Tea Tribes and Adivasi Welfare in Minister Teli's portfolio signals the Assam government's intention to strengthen outreach among tea garden communities ahead of future political challenges in the state.

Meanwhile, Minister Teli assured that he would work in close coordination with officials and stakeholders to ensure timely delivery of benefits to people across Assam.

Finally someone who values our traditions! Starting work with prayers shows respect. But I hope the Transformation department delivers on infrastructure projects - our roads in the state need major improvements.

Interesting political move - focusing on tea tribes who are crucial voters. But I wonder if the government will actually prioritize labour welfare or just use it for electoral gains. The people of Assam deserve concrete results.

Transforming Assam should be priority one! With three key departments, Teli ji has a big responsibility. Hope the coordination between departments works well - especially for tea garden workers who have been waiting for better schemes.

Praying before work is nice, but what about the actual problems? Labour welfare schemes often stay on paper. Let's see if this minister brings real change or just another political appointment. Actions speak louder than vows.

As a resident of upper Assam, I'm watching this closely. The tea tribes department has been neglected for years. If Teli ji can actually improve conditions for Adivasi workers, that would be game-changing. Best wishes for his tenure! 🙏

Hope the transformation department focuses on digitization and reducing corruption - that's what Assam needs. Praying is fine, but efficient
