LIVE | PM Modi Reaches Namrup for Foundation-Laying of New Urea Project

The next day, December 21, Modi will begin his schedule at approximately 9:45 AM by paying homage to martyrs at the Swahid Smarak Kshetra in Boragaon, Guwahati, commemorating those who sacrificed during the historic Assam Movement—a six-year agitation for protecting the state's identity and addressing issues related to foreign nationals.

Later, the Prime Minister will proceed to Namrup in Dibrugarh district to perform the Bhoomi Pujan for a new brownfield Ammonia-Urea Fertiliser Project at the existing site of Brahmaputra Valley Fertiliser Corporation Limited (BVFCL). He will also address the gathering there.

The new airport terminal represents a significant boost to Assam's connectivity and economic growth. Spanning nearly 1.4 lakh square metres, it is engineered to accommodate up to 1.3 crore passengers per year, with enhanced runway, airfield, apron, and taxiway systems.

Billed as India's first nature-themed airport terminal, it incorporates the "Bamboo Orchids" motif inspired by Assam's rich biodiversity and culture. Key features include extensive use of around 140 metric tonnes of locally sourced Northeast bamboo, Kaziranga-inspired landscaping, traditional japi designs, the one-horned rhino emblem, and 57 columns modelled on the Kopou orchid flower.

A standout element is the "Sky Forest"—an indoor green space with nearly one lakh indigenous plants, creating an immersive natural experience for travellers.

The facility emphasises modern convenience with full-body scanners, DigiYatra for contactless processing, automated baggage systems, expedited immigration, and AI-powered operations for enhanced efficiency and security.

The Ammonia-Urea Project, involving an investment exceeding Rs 10,600 crore, aligns with the Prime Minister's focus on farmer welfare. It aims to fulfil fertiliser needs in Assam and adjacent states, decrease reliance on imports, create substantial job opportunities, and drive industrial and economic progress in the region.

Act East to Act Now: Modi Positions Assam as India’s Eastern Gateway
The inauguration of the new terminal building at Lokapriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport in Guwahati marks more than an expansion of aviation infrastructure. It represents a defining moment in Assam’s evolving relationship with connectivity, culture, national policy, and global engagement. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s address at the event framed the occasion not merely as an administrative achievement, but as a symbolic “festival of development” for Assam and the entire Northeast.
Modi described development as a light that, once it reaches people, transforms every path of life. His remarks reflected a recurring theme of his engagement with the region: an emotional bond with Assam and the Northeast, and a particular acknowledgement of the affection and support of women, whom he repeatedly referred to as a source of inspiration and strength in the region’s development journey.
Drawing from the words of Bharat Ratna Bhupen Hazarika, Modi invoked the imagery of the Brahmaputra—its unstoppable flow likened to what he called the uninterrupted stream of development under the current governments at the Centre and in the state. According to him, the new airport terminal stands as physical evidence of that continuity, signalling that Assam’s development is no longer episodic but sustained. Read More..

Assam Sets New Development Benchmarks, Says PM Modi in Guwahati
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, addressing a public gathering in Guwahati on Saturday, said Assam has created “another chapter of history” by installing over 50 lakh smart prepaid electricity meters, marking a major leap in governance and service delivery.
Recalling earlier times, Modi said employment without paperwork or money transfers was once unimaginable, but today technology has made transparent systems possible. He praised Assam for actively promoting its culture and traditions, recalling the Bihu dance performance on April 13 last year, which entered the Guinness Book of World Records.
Highlighting the impact of the newly inaugurated Guwahati airport terminal, the Prime Minister said the facility would significantly enhance the capacity of the region and provide a major boost to tourism. The terminal is expected to facilitate travel for over 1.25 crore passengers annually, making visits to important religious sites such as the Kamakhya Temple easier.
“Development and heritage are reflected in the new terminal. Bamboo has been used extensively, showcasing Assam’s culture. Earlier, bamboo was treated as a tree, but we reclassified it as grass, enabling its use in construction,” Modi said.
Emphasising Assam’s strategic importance under India’s Act East Policy, Modi described the state as the eastern gateway of the country and highlighted plans to strengthen connectivity with ASEAN nations.
He stressed that infrastructure development is critical for industrial growth and said India is preparing for 2047 with modern highways, industrial corridors, and advanced digital connectivity, including 4G and 5G networks.
He accused the Congress and the INDIA alliance of engaging in activities “anti-national in nature,” alleging that they have advocated for illegal infiltration and encroachment on land belonging to the people.
Praising Bharat Ratna Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi, Modi said Assam’s first Chief Minister protected the state from attempts to merge it with East Pakistan, adding that the BJP government honoured his legacy by conferring the Bharat Ratna.
Concluding his address, the Prime Minister said, “India’s new sun is rising from the Northeast,” underlining the region’s growing role in the country’s development journey.

Speaking at the inauguration of the new terminal at Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport and the unveiling of the 80-foot statue of Assam’s first Chief Minister, Bharat Ratna Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi, PM Modi hailed the contributions of the state’s leaders and highlighted the region’s rapid progress.
“Today’s celebration is a celebration of the development of Assam and the entire Northeast,” Modi said. He asked the audience to turn on their mobile flashlights to “witness the development” and urged that the country should see the Northeast’s progress.
The Prime Minister expressed his deep affection for the people of Assam and the Northeast and particularly acknowledged the women and sisters present in the gathering. Drawing on cultural connections, he recalled a song by Dr. Bhupen Hazarika about the Brahmaputra River, comparing its steady flow to the double-engine BJP government, which he said is consistently driving development in the state.
Modi lauded Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi, calling him “the pride of Assam” who never compromised on the state’s future, identity, or culture. He emphasized that the modern airport facilities and improved connectivity infrastructure symbolize new beginnings and opportunities, ensuring the motivation of the state and the trust of its people.
Highlighting BJP’s achievements, Modi said, “Great highways and airports in Assam will make the people feel that justice has finally been done after decades of neglect by the previous Congress government. Commitments left unfulfilled by the Congress are now being realized.”
The Prime Minister also stressed that development in Assam comes with responsibility. Over the past 11 years, numerous major projects have been implemented under BJP governance. He noted that Assam has become the top-performing state in implementing the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA), achieving a 76% implementation score, significantly higher than the national average of 44%.
