The forthcoming Advantage Assam summit in the month of February 2025 will be one of the most anticipated events in the last three-and-a-half-year of the ruling dispensation in Dispur. The Government has been doing everything possible in its might to bring about a climate of trust and security in the State and has succeeded to a large extent. The natural outcome of such an endeavor is the increasing flow of private sector investment.
The previous concerns about Assam’s law and order are now resolved. With more and more companies coming to invest in the State led, of course, by that eye-catching Tata Semiconductor project, it is now time that we reap the reward of an investor-friendly atmosphere and policies in the State.
The Summit is expected not only to showcase Assam’s potential to investors but has clearly identified sectors where the focus will be. The Chief Minister is correct in ensuring that the attention is kept on areas which matter.
The State Government will also do well to revisit the MoUs signed during the first summit in Assam. An MoU is merely an understanding, but it is the actual investment at the ground that will bring social and economic benefits to the people of the State.
