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. It also includes aspirational development programs that can bring exponential growth to the state. While Social development is one of the core areas of the model, the efficiency of government enterprises takes as much prominence as running intelligent governance with digital technologies. 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.
