Assam chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal laid the foundation stone of Assam Agar International Trade Centre, which is the first of its kind in the country at Dabidubi in Golaghat district.
The state government decided to set up the trade centre to promote the business potential of the farmers as well as the entrepreneurs associated with agarwood plantation and trade in Assam.
Chief minister Sonowal expressed his gratitude to the people of the state for their cooperation that they have extended to the government and said that the Assam Agar International Trade Centre would be a step towards making a self reliant Assam.
Reiterating the government’s commitment to double the farmer’s income in the state by 2022, Sonowal said the establishment of Agar International Trade Centre is one of the initiatives, which the state government promised since coming to power in 2016.
The Assam CM announced that the government would name the Assam Agar International Trade Centre after the name of Swahid Kushal Konwar in a bid to pay its tribute to the martyr.
Industries and commerce minister Chandra Mohan Patowary while speaking on the occasion hailed chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal’s initiative in bolstering industrial development in the state.
He said there was a long felt need for an Agar Trade Centre in the state as the new trade centre would significantly help the farmers and entrepreneurs of Agar to sell their products.
Patowary also said the industries and commerce department would ensure that the construction of the Agar Trade Centre could be completed within the stipulated time frame.
Agriculture Minister Atul Bora and MLA Khumtai Mrinal Saikia also spoke on the occasion.
