The Assam government has set itself the target of Rs 10 lakh crore economy by 2029. The Chief Minister of Assam Himanta Biswa Sarma made this announcement on Saturday.
At present, the state is lagging behind the national average in terms of economy. According to the Chief Minister, if Assam’s economy reaches Rs 10 lakh crore, then the state will be able to contribute positively towards the country’s economy.
“As of now our state is a dependent state, we are presently below the national average. When we go beyond the national average then we will be a contributory state,” he said.
He further added, “So by 2029-30, Assam should be able to achieve above the national average, whether it is health, education, goods, innovation, culture, or any other sector.”
