These apart, there were also discussions on the updates regarding implementation of Chief Minister’s Atmanirbhar Asom Abhiyaan and Mukhya Mantri Mahila Udyamita Abhiyaan. The Chief Minister is scheduled to visit several district across the State for the above two programmes. For VikasYatra, the Government of Assam has lined up projects worth a total of Rs. 25,311 crores that would either be inaugurated or foundation stone laid.
Addressing those present, the Chief Minister exuded confidence above two scheduled programmes would provide opportunity to engage the members of the general public in the development process of the State.

The Chief Minister instructed the concerned officials to ensure that the beneficiaries of Mission Basundhara 2.0 are able to receive their respective patta certificates on the very day of ceremonial patta distribution in their respective legislative assembly constituencies. The projects lined up for VikasYatra had the potential to radically transform the State’s public infrastructure landscape, he said.
