Each Naamghar was given Rs 2.50 lakhs for its renovation and development. Sarbhog MLA Ranjeet Kumar Dass was present in the programme as the chief guest. In his address he said,"Naamghar is the part and parcel of Assamese society. It is the symbol of unity, culture, tradition and sculpture of Assamese people. It is mainly a prayer hall.

It is a matter of regret that these Naamghars have not been developed till now. Hence, Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal stressed about the development of the Naamghars."
