Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has urged his cabinet colleagues, legislators and bureaucrats to "change their mindset" and work towards a vision to ensure the State goes up the development ladder "by at least two levels" by 2026.
It is time for Assam to "re-emerge" as a developed state, Mr. Sarma asserted while inaugurating a 'Chintan Shivir' here.
"Assam cannot live anymore with the scar that its place in the country's development journey can be counted only from the bottom, and not the top... We have to live with dignity and not always approach the Centre for assistance," he said.
