The Prime Minister handed over 1.06 lakh Land Pattas/Allotment Certificates to beneficiaries in Jerenga Pathar in Sivasagar in Assam. Speaking on the occasion the PM said he had visited Assam many times in recent years and said the people of Assam have blessed us.
PM Modi said 40 per cent of Assam's population is taking the benefit of 'Ayushmaan Bharat' scheme of the Central government. He reiterated that the NDA govt has always kept the preservation of the Assamese culture as its foremost intention behind implementing policies including the protection of the Assamese language & promotion of its literature.
