Assam state policy and governance developments
Overview
The government of Assam, led by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, has introduced several legislative and social initiatives. Initial measures included a 12 per cent reservation for Agniveers in various uniformed services, such as the Assam Police and Fire Services, for permanent residents serving under the Agnipath scheme.
Subsequent developments saw the implementation of environmental and social policies. These included a green cess on the ownership transfer of older vehicles to combat pollution, as well as a crackdown on child marriage resulting in over 500 arrests. Additionally, the state has focused on land rights for the Moran and Matak indigenous communities through Mission Basundhara, promoted grassroots sports via the Khel Maharan 3.0 initiative, and prioritized economic development and infrastructure in the Tinsukia region.
