The Assam Cabinet has approved investment proposals worth Rs 77.3 billion, stemming from Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) signed during the Advantage Assam 2.0 summit held in February. The move is expected to significantly boost industrial growth and employment generation in the state.

The summit aimed to attract both domestic and international investors by promoting Assam’s strengths in manufacturing, logistics, agro-processing, and tourism. The approvals mark a key step in positioning Assam as a major investment destination in Northeast India.

Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma also announced plans for a Japanese Language Centre in the state. The initiative seeks to equip professionals with language skills for short-term employment in Japan.

This announcement came after diplomatic discussions with an ASEAN ONE delegation led by Toshiaki Nishikawa. The language centre forms part of Assam’s broader strategy to build educational and economic linkages with Japan, focusing on skill development and cross-border human resource exchange.

These efforts align with Assam’s long-term vision to enhance its global connectivity, create employment, and expand industrial capacity across emerging sectors.
