00:38Somewhere behind this faith is the youth of India, the important middle class of India, the stability of the country's politics and a strong government.
00:48There is a very strong reason for this faith in India.
01:04Today's India is taking one step at a time, keeping in mind the long-term vision of the 21st century.

02:34Prime Minister Modi said that Assam is also contributing to India's growth in the world.
02:40And this is possible because of the double engine government in Assam.
02:44During the past six years, Assam's economy has doubled.
02:48Today, investment has increased in Assam and it has emerged as a state of unlimited possibilities.
02:54It is bringing many new possibilities.
02:58Friends, we are all united here in Assam amidst a global trust that is strong on India.
03:14We are united on the land of Mother Kamakhya.
03:19Assam's contribution to India's growth is continuously increasing.
03:28In 2018, the first edition of the Advantage Assam Summit was held.
03:41At that time, Assam's economy was worth 3.75 lakh crores.
03:49Today, Assam has become a state of 6 lakh crores.
03:57In just 6 years, Assam's economy has doubled.
04:09This is the double effect of the double engine government.
04:14Many investments have been made in Assam.
04:21During the past 10 years, the Prime Minister has presented a picture of the infrastructure development in Assam.

04:33This has not only improved the state's economy, but also created job opportunities for the youth.
04:40This picture is in the name of Bhupen Hazarika.
04:44Between 2009 and 2014, Assam received Rs. 2,100 crores in the rail budget.
05:01Our government has increased the railway budget of Assam by more than four times and has reached Rs. 10,000 crores.

06:04Prime Minister Modi said that an innovative scheme has been launched to accelerate industry, investment and innovation in Assam.
06:13He also appealed to businessmen present at the summit to take advantage of this scheme and the unlimited opportunities in Assam.
06:21Assam has set a target of bringing its economy to Rs. 150 billion by 2030.
06:35I am confident that Assam can achieve this goal.
06:43The reason for my confidence is that the people of Assam are capable and talented.
06:58This is the commitment of the BJP government.
07:03Assam is emerging as a gateway between South East Asia and India.
07:15The government has launched the North East Transformative Industrialization Scheme.
07:34This scheme will accelerate industry, investment and tourism in the whole of North East.
07:50I would like to say to all my colleagues in the industry that

10:29and the country's industrial world also has a chance to take advantage of it.
10:34Assam has a huge advantage in this journey.
10:42The government has made a lot of ways for all of you.
10:50All the policies from the PLI scheme to the Green Initiative are in your interest.
11:00I want Assam to rise as a leader state in the renewable energy sector.
