Guwahati, Feb 18 (UNI) Assam Governor Prof Jagdish Mukhi today emphasized that infrastructure, in all its forms, is a catalyst for development, as the government is committed to promoting the development of Assam and Northeast by strengthening the fundamentals for robust infrastructure.
Speaking at the inaugural session of North East Infrastructure Development Conclave for the development of physical connectivity and integrated urban development for Northeast, Prof Mukhi said the government of India is very liberal in investing in infrastructure to eliminate service backlogs of North East with special emphasis on rural areas.
He said since a well-planned infrastructure enables established businesses to expand their production levels and encourage small businesses to enter the market, both Central and State governments are making concerted efforts to put in place robust infrastructure for physical connectivity in the areas of air, water, internet and land transport.
