In what many saw as an audacious proclamation, Assam’s fifteenth Chief Minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma declared soon after taking office that he would place Assam among India’s top five states. For a state long marked by economic stagnation, weak industrial growth and recurring political and ethnic unrest, the ambition sounded bold—almost improbable.

In what many saw as an audacious proclamation, Assam’s fifteenth Chief Minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma declared soon after taking office that he would place Assam among India’s top five states. For a state long marked by economic stagnation, weak industrial growth and recurring political and ethnic unrest, the ambition sounded bold—almost improbable. Nearly five years later, it is time to take stock. Assam’s journey in this period has been strikingly transformative, shaped by renewed hope, rising aspirations, and a determined push to address decades of neglect. Under experienced leadership, the goal of becoming one of India’s best-performing states now appears increasingly achievable. Assam is among the fastest-growing large states, has rolled out landmark beneficiary programmes, implemented major land reforms, and attracted one of India’s largest semiconductor investments. Improvements are visible across income, employment, poverty reduction, fiscal management, infrastructure, and cultural preservation. Finally, Assam Rising examines these shifts, highlights challenges and outlines strategic priorities ahead.

Amrit Kaal is going to be the most important 25 years of modern India. The indomitable spirit, indestructible grittiness, and undefeatable resolve of almost one-fifth of the global population, as it marches towards prosperity, are set to shape the country’s future in significant ways.

Amrit Kaal is going to be the most important 25 years of modern India. The indomitable spirit, indestructible grittiness, and undefeatable resolve of almost one-fifth of the global population, as it marches towards prosperity, are set to shape the country’s future in significant ways.
While India aims to be a developed country with a GDP of 25 trillion dollars and an upper middle-income country with a per capita income of 10 thousand dollars, the northeast region, particularly Assam, must contribute equally to the growth story of the nation.
Assam is a mesmerising Indian state, brimming with diversity and culture, but it also faces economic complexities due to years of disturbances. To catch up with the other developed states, a quick shift of gear needs to be made by applying a model of development that embraces the rich tapestry of Assam’s heritage.
The Assam Model is a development approach that comprises short-term goals, such as promoting local industries and attracting investment from established businesses. Celebrating the resilience of a state that continues to evolve and flourish amidst the winds of change, this book contemplates the path ahead towards a prosperous future.
Whether you’re an academic, a policymaker, or an inquisitive individual eager to understand Assam’s socio-economic dynamics, The Assam Model of Development in Amrit Kaal offers a compelling blend of knowledge and inspiration. The author expects that the suggestive tone of the book should be construed as an invitation for discussion and debate on the topic of development.
