Great achievement, no doubt. But I hope this growth is reaching the common man in the villages too. We hear about GSDP numbers, but the real test is whether farmers in rural Assam are seeing better prices and whether youth are getting quality jobs. The focus must remain on inclusive growth.

As an entrepreneur in the oil and gas sector here, I can confirm the business environment has improved significantly. Ease of doing business initiatives are real. This growth is a team effort of the people, the government, and the private sector. Jai Assam! 🇮🇳

Visiting Assam last year was a revelation. The development, especially in tourism infrastructure, is noticeable. It's wonderful to see a northeastern state leading economic growth. This is great for the entire region's image and future investment.

While the headline number is impressive, we must ensure this isn't just a boom in a few sectors like oil. Sustainable growth means diversifying the economy, investing in education and tech, and making sure Assam isn't left behind in the digital revolution. The work has just begun.

Proud moment for every Assamese! Our tea garden workers, our farmers, our small business owners - this is their success. Let's build on this momentum and focus on healthcare and education next. A developed Assam is the dream of every one of us.
