Assam is set to have India’s first international multi-modal hub. The Asian Development Bank has agreed to fund the project to the tune of around Rs.6 bn. The state recently hosted an exclusive India-Bangladesh Stakeholders’ Meet at Guwahati to discuss and create awareness on the opportunities made available by these trade agreements. It plans to develop Jogighopa, a small township near the Brahmaputra River, as a logistics hub or trans-shipment point for cargo moving from Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, and Nagaland to Bangladesh. Contact: Kumar Sanjay Krishna, Chief Secretary, Government of Assam.Address: Block-C, 3rd Floor Janata Bhawan, Dispur, Guwahati-6Tel: 0361-226 1403.E-mail: sanjay.krishna@nic.inWebsite: www.assam.gov.in
