Assam's Ambitious Budget Targets Growth and Inclusion

Assam's Finance Minister, Ajanta Neog, unveiled an interim budget of Rs 62,294.78 crore, highlighting key initiatives designed to ensure continued social welfare and economic growth in the region.

The budget presentation, which occurs ahead of the 2026-27 assembly elections, underscores Assam's position as the fastest-growing state, with ambitious plans including flagship schemes like 'Nijut Moina' and 'Orunodoi'. These schemes aim at improving educational enrollment and providing financial assistance to vulnerable groups.

Projected to become a Rs 10 lakh-crore economy by 2028, Assam's impressive growth rate signals a commitment to inclusive progress, as the state also expands its medical infrastructure and social assistance programs.
