The Union Minister urged district officials to focus on improving health, education, water resources, agriculture, nutrition, particularly for women and children, and youth skill development.
In addition, the Minister directed the Monitoring Team to maintain a close eye on the details of welfare system execution.
He further elaborated on the significance of public awareness about the progress made in various projects under this Aspirational Districts Programme.
“We must try to improve farm productivity in Goalpara in order to achieve PM Narendra Modi’s aim of doubling farmer income by the end of 2022. This district has a lot of potential in farming and animal husbandry. In this aspect, Self-Help Groups (SHGs) must be strengthened and empowered.” – Sonowal remarked.

It is a significant step toward the district’s and people’s holistic development. As the district moves closer towards a positive transformation in socio-economic aspects, the actions made under the Aspirational Districts programme will help to bring the Prime Minister’s vision of ‘Sabka Sath, Sabka Viswas aur Sabka Prayas’ into reality. We will continue to work in the direction of good transformation, development, and increase of the district’s living standard.”
