Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to inaugurate the Assam Advantage 2.0 Investment and Infrastructure Summit 2025 in Guwahati, scheduled to take place on 24th and 25th February. Announcing the event during a press conference at Lok Sewa Bhawan in Guwahati, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma stated that the summit aims to accelerate investment and infrastructure development in the state. Sarma revealed that the Prime Minister has confirmed his participation in the inauguration, while Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will be invited to attend the closing ceremony. He highlighted the success of the previous Assam Advantage summit, which attracted significant investment interest. Over the past four years, Assam has become increasingly appealing to investors due to its peaceful environment, absence of terrorism, and an agitation-free atmosphere. The summit will include several seminars focusing on various infrastructure sectors. The Chief Minister mentioned that several Union Ministers, including Nitin Gadkari, Ashwini Vaishnaw, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, and the Civil Aviation Minister, will also be invited to the event. To promote the summit internationally, three delegations from Assam will visit countries such as Singapore, Japan, the USA, the UK, and Dubai to host roadshows. Domestically, similar roadshows will be held in six metropolitan cities, including Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, and Bengaluru, to attract participation from investors both within India and abroad. Additionally, the state government plans to organise a Mega Jhumoir Dance during the summit, featuring around 7,500 dancers and artists from the state’s tea garden communities. This cultural event will take place on one of the summit days, showcasing Assam’s rich heritage.
