PM Modi’s programme at Diphu

Prime minister’s commitment toward peace and development in the region was exemplified by the recent signing of the memorandum of settlement (MoS) by the Centre and Assam government with six Karbi militant outfits. The MoS has ushered in a new era of peace in the region. Prime minister’s address at the rally will provide a major boost to the peace initiatives in the entire region, PIB said.

The PM will also lay the foundation stone for veterinary college (Diphu), degree college (West Karbi Anglong) and agricultural college (Kolonga, West Karbi Anglong). These projects, worth more than Rs 500 crore, will bring new opportunities for skilling and employment in the region.

During the programme, the PM will also lay the foundation stone for more than 2950 Amrit Sarovar projects. The state will develop these Amrit Sarovars at a cumulative cost of around Rs 1150 crore.
