Assam Day was celebrated here at the 44th India International Trade Fair (IITF), which showcased the state’s rich cultural heritage and highlighted its aspirations for growth and development in the coming years.
Speaking at an event held at Bharat Mandapam on Thursday (November 20, 2025), Assam Industries and Commerce Minister Bimal Borah explained the growing potential of the state under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat’ vision.
Highlighting the series of initiatives and administrative reforms undertaken by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma to establish Assam as a preferred investment destination, he said the state was leveraging its strategic geographical location as India’s bridge to Southeast Asia and the wider Indo-Pacific region.
The minister also talked about major projects like the ₹27,000 crore Tata Semiconductor Plant being set up in Assam, which has made the state a key player in the country’s industrial landscape.
He expressed the hope that such significant investments during the ‘Advantage Assam Investment and Infrastructure Summit 2.0’, which attracted 5 lakh crores, would help Assam achieve its goal of becoming a developed state in the near future.
The event was attended by MPs Kripanath Mallah and Rameswar Teli along with key officials including Additional Chief Secretary JB Ekka and Resident Commissioner Assam Kavita Padmanabhan.
