Dibrugarh is gradually changing into Assam’s second administrative heartbeat, moving beyond its status as the “Tea City of India”. Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal announced infrastructural projects worth ₹1,715 crore, sparking excitement in the Northeast.
This is not a regular government pronouncement. It is a planned move toward decentralizing power and delivering state government directly to the people of Upper Assam. From cutting-edge legislative structures to major flood control projects, Dibrugarh’s landscape is about to alter forever.

Revolutionizing Sports in the Northeast

- Agricultural Boost: By boosting water retention, the initiative will enable local farmers to grow crops up to three times per year.
Wildlife Conservation and Research
Assam’s unique biodiversity is getting a technological facelift. During this visit, the foundation stone for Dinjan’s Wildlife Health and Research Institute was set.
Why This Institute Matters

The Vision for a “Viksit Assam”
