14pt;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0&#8221;The promise of change was delivered through peace agreements, revolutionary infrastructure development and most importantly adhering to the importance\u00a0and role of the North East in the cause of nation building. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">We must take this wonderful opportunity provided by Modiji and give wings to our hopes and dreams for a peaceful, prosperous and progressive\u00a0 Assam and Northeast\u201d, he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0

national conscience was possible when Modiji took special interest in the Northeast and referred to it as the Ashtalakshmi and the new growth engine of India.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0In order to improve connectivity, 28 projects of air connectivity were completed between 2016-17 and 2021-22 while 15 ongoing projects will

said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The Krishi Udaan scheme has helped\u00a0 farmers to transport\u00a0 agri produce to the international market with 1.92 lakh metric tonnes of agricultural produce being transported nationally and abroad through this scheme.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0
