During the public meeting, the Minister detailed the major developmental initiatives launched by the State Government over the last four and a half years. He specifically highli-ghted several key welfare schemes, including Orunudoi, Nijut Moina and the Mukhyamantri Mahila Udyamita Scheme, which he said have successfully empowered women and strengthened livelihoods across the State.

Hazarika also provided an update on the Government’s employment drive, informing the crowd that 1.5 lakh Government jobs have been provided purely on merit over the last 4.5 years. He described this as a “transformative shift towards transparency, accountability and youth empowerment,” asserting that these initiatives have fundamentally changed the development and governance landscape of Assam.
