Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate and lay the foundation stone for major infrastructure and industrial development projects valued at over ₹18,530 crore in Assam on Sunday.
As part of his schedule, PM Modi will arrive in Darrang, where he will address a public gathering and lay the foundation stone for several significant projects. These include the Darrang Medical College & Hospital, a GNM School, a B.Sc. Nursing College, and the ambitious Guwahati Ring Road Project — a crucial urban infrastructure initiative designed to alleviate congestion and improve mobility in the capital region.
He will also lay the foundation stone for the Kuruwa–Narengi Bridge over the Brahmaputra River, which is expected to greatly enhance regional connectivity and promote socio-economic development.
Later in the day, the Prime Minister will visit Numaligarh in Golaghat, where he will inaugurate the Assam Bio-Ethanol Plant at the Numaligarh Refinery Limited (NRL).
The plant is a vital component of India’s drive towards clean and renewable energy, aimed at reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Additionally, he will lay the foundation stone for a Polypropylene Plant at the same refinery — a significant investment in Assam’s expanding petrochemical sector, expected to create jobs and stimulate industrial growth in the region.
