"From infrastructure and connectivity development to growth in health, education, employment generation, the double engine governments at the centre and the state are taking forward Assam's all round progress.

"The government has taken simultaneous projects for the development and expansion of road, rail, air, water connectivities of Assam and other northeastern states.
