While the schemes sound promising, I hope the ground reality matches the announcements. In my village, many deserving women still haven't received benefits under Mahila Udyamita Abhijan. Proper monitoring is needed.

Assam is progressing well under CM Sarma's leadership. The focus on women empowerment through these schemes is commendable. My sister in Kokrajhar got help to start her small business last year. More power to such initiatives!

Why only 60k ration cards when population is much higher? Many poor families in rural areas still don't have access to basic food security. Government should expand coverage further. #RightToFood

The CMAAA scheme is a game-changer for Assam's youth! Got my first business loan approved last month through this. Less paperwork and quick processing. Hope more young entrepreneurs benefit from this.

Appreciate the focus on Kokrajhar district which has been neglected for years. But what about other backward districts? Development should be equal across all regions of Assam. #EquitableDevelopment
