GUWAHATI: Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal said that his government is un-relentingly pursuing its mission to make an Atmanirbhar Assam based on the balanced synergy between technology, skill and hard labour. With the help of all sections of the people of the State, the present State government has been trying to make Assam a hot spot in the landscape of South East Asian countries. He also said that with adequate emphasis on agriculture and its allied sectors, Assam can capture markets of ASEAN and BBN countries.
The fact that Assam is on the threshold of being a landmark destination in the bloc of ASEAN and BBN countries, Chief Minister Sonowal said that the unprecedented importance given by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been the prime reason for the transformation of Assam and other North Eastern states.
Interacting at a webinar of Young Leaders Forum today organized by the Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Chief Minister Sonowal said that he being a son of a farmer, blessed by the teachings of his parents, his academic and spiritual teachers and people of all sections of the State, he is in a position to serve the State as the Chief Minister. Stating that from the challenges of life, many lessons can be learnt, Sonowal said that one should not fight shy of problems in life.
Chief Minister Sonowal thanked ICC and Young Leaders Forum for organizing the programme. He at the same time urged upon the ICC to keep working in tandem to motivate the young industrialists and entrepreneurs to script socio-economic and industrial development in the state.
