This is exactly what Northeast needs - concrete action not just promises! ₹22,899 crore in power sector alone will transform lives. Hope local youth get priority in the 5,953 jobs promised. CM Sarma seems to be delivering on his 'Act East' policy 👍

Good initiative but government must ensure environmental safeguards. Assam's biodiversity is precious - industries shouldn't repeat mistakes made in other states. Also hope benefits reach all communities equally.

As someone from Guwahati, I've seen real infrastructure improvement in last 2 years. If these investments bring quality jobs, many Assamese youth won't need to migrate to Bangalore/Mumbai. Fingers crossed! 🤞

₹5 lakh crore MoUs sound impressive but implementation is key. Remember what happened with many 'Make in India' projects? Hope Assam government maintains transparency in land allocation and tracks actual job creation.

Power sector investment is crucial for entire Northeast's development. But government should also focus on skill development - what's the point of industries if local people don't have required qualifications?

Finally seeing Northeast beyond just tourism potential! These industrial projects could make Assam the gateway to Southeast Asia. But please don't ignore small entrepreneurs while welcoming big investors. Local businesses need support too 💪
