Sarma was accompanied on this occasion by the Minister of Agriculture, Atul Bora, Minister of Finance Ajanta Neog, Minister of Tea Tribes & Adivasi Welfare, Rupesh Gowala, MP Kamakhya Prasad Tasa, MLA Biswajit Phukan, District Commissioner Pulak Mahanta, and other dignitaries.

While I appreciate the development, I hope the government is equally focused on improving roads and healthcare in rural Assam. Infrastructure is good but basic amenities should be priority.

Hope they maintain transparency in the funds utilization. Religious institutions should not become political tools. That said, the development looks promising if done properly.

Beautiful initiative! Our Namghars are not just places of worship but community centers that preserve our traditions. More power to such projects that strengthen our cultural roots 🌿

Interesting to learn about Assam's spiritual architecture. The Natghar concept seems similar to community halls in other cultures, but with unique local elements. Would love to visit someday!
