Guwahati: The Chief Minister of Assam Himanta Biswa Sarma on Saturday said that he is targeting to make Assam a Rs. 10 lakh crore economy by 2029.
The Chief Minister said, “If Assam’s economy becomes Rs. 10 lakh crore then we will start to contribute positively towards the country’s economy. Presently, we are around Rs 5.67 lakh crore, and next year we will become Rs 6.43 lakh crore and by 2029, we plan to achieve Rs 10 lakh crore economies by 2029.”
Sarma added, “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. 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. ”
“So far we are growing at a good pace and last few years it has been a very positive journey and if we continue like this for another four to five years then Assam will become a contributory state. And that means that we are aligned with the dream of Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” Sarma summed up.
