Expecting new employment opportunities
This investment plan can provide new employment opportunities to the youth of Assam.

The government says that they are not just making announcements but have also made full preparations to implement it.
Investments made so far
Vedanta Group subsidiary Cairn Oil and Gas has already invested Rs 2,500 crore in Assam and Tripura. This information was given at the “Advantage Assam Investment Summit”. The aim of this summit is to make Assam an attractive destination for investment. The government believes that such investments will accelerate the pace of economic development of the state and in the coming time Assam can become a big name in the field of industry.
