Describing tea as the “soul of Assam,” PM Modi emphasized the global recognition of the state’s tea industry. Sharing his experience on social media platform X, he wrote that visiting the tea garden and engaging with workers was “a very memorable experience.” He also expressed pride in the dedication of tea garden families, noting that their hard work has contributed significantly to Assam’s identity and reputation.
The Prime Minister shared several photos from the visit, including a selfie with women working in the tea garden. Assam remains a major contributor to India’s tea production, with the state producing approximately 630–700 million kilograms annually—accounting for more than half of the country’s total output, according to the Assam State Portal.
