00:00We will definitely send a message to the world that Assam is ready, you come and all the challenges,

00:08whether at the state level or at the global level, despite that, the current development rate of Assam is 12.6%.

00:16It has been for 10 years. There has not been a single state after Gujarat that has achieved such a development rate in double digits.

00:24If I talk about last year, 2023-2024, it was more than 19%. These are very shocking figures.

00:30Even this time, Himachal Pradesh is saying that we will develop by 15% this year.

00:34And this story is very untapped. There are so many sectors, which are the treasures of the people.

00:42The peace that has been established, how can we transform it into a stream of development?

00:46How can we take it to the common people with this story of development?

00:50This is going to be the biggest advantage of Assam 2.0.

00:54You are absolutely right that Prime Minister Ashtalakshmi has named eight states.

00:59And the connection of the Prime Minister, especially with the former states, we have seen many times.

01:05That connection is coming from Guwahati at this time. It is also visible in the pictures that how people are welcoming him.

01:11The Prime Minister is also responding by shaking hands with his delegation.

01:15That connection is clearly visible.

01:18The advantage of the assembly that you mentioned, Assam 2.0.

01:23As we know, Assam and the entire eastern region is very prosperous in terms of natural resources.

01:32In such a situation, whether it is Assam or other eastern states,

01:36can we try to explore some new areas through such assemblies?

01:44You are absolutely right.

01:45And let me give you a couple of information.

01:48Assam has just approved its start-up policy before this summit.

01:52Now think, in many states, the start-up policy was already there.

01:55But Assam has such a start-up that will provide payment facilities in different languages of the north-east.

02:02There are companies like Google Pay and Paytm here.

02:07But the people in the local language, the tribal people, do not understand how to pay.

02:13To increase financial inclusion, the start-up ecosystem has come up with a new policy.

02:18In manufacturing, the aerospace and defense manufacturing policy was approved in 2025,

02:23that is, before this summit.

02:26You understand how important it is.

02:28Because when Tata announced the installation of a semiconductor plant with an investment of $3.3 billion,

02:35a very big positive sentiment has gone around the world.

02:38When a big company like Tata installed a semiconductor plant in Gujarat and another in Assam,

02:43its work has begun.

02:45There are 65 industrial parks in Jorhat.

02:48The entire industrial lane is 180 km long.

02:52So, first, I said that the start-up ecosystem has been started.

02:55Second, I am saying that manufacturing, especially defense and aerospace manufacturing,

03:00is now going to enter the world of Assam and is going to enter other areas of the north-east.

03:06Third, ecotourism or green mobility is very important.

03:09How do we increase electric vehicles?

03:11How do we increase renewables?

03:14And here, along with hydropower, there is also the possibility of solar power,

03:18which is being discussed continuously.

03:20How do we train people from here?

03:22We know that Assam has a lot of skills.

03:24I said that there are 50,000 numbers.

03:26They will come in front of you tomorrow.

03:2850,000 young people want to go to Japan to work here, for soft skilling.

03:33So, this is also a very big connection of the Assam government with Japan.

03:37Chambers from more than 16 countries are coming here and are looking for possibilities of Assam.

03:43Food and beverages are emerging as a very important sector.

03:46Fragrance is a new sector in which you will see Assam with new possibilities.

03:53Similarly, bamboo and horticulture are bamboo-based products.

03:57You can imagine how many lakhs of rupees we used to import wood from China for horticulture.

04:03Now, India has completely banned it.

04:05Now, the bamboo used in our country is used to make horticulture.

04:08It is used to make anti-corrosion.

04:10And now we are exporting it.

04:12So, all these things not only show possibilities,

04:16but also translate them on the ground in the direction of development.

04:20And this story that is starting from Assam,

04:23from Guwahati to Gangtok, where we will take organic products,

04:28then to Meghalaya, where we are talking about the biggest hydropower project.

04:32Let me tell you one more thing.

04:34A very big start of a gas-based fertilizer plant is going to take place here,

04:39with a capacity of 12.5 million lakh tons.

04:43If I tell you the biggest loss in the price of urea fertilizers,

04:46the price of urea fertilizers is going to be halved in the country.

04:49Because now we have become self-reliant.

04:52Now, we have gas in our country.

04:54We are going to make ammonia and urea from the same gas.

04:57So, the figure that has come today,

04:59that on the fertilizer subsidy...
