Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to embark on a two-day visit to Assam and West Bengal on March 13 and 14, where he will inaugurate and lay the foundation stones for multiple development projects valued at over ₹47,800 crore. This significant trip will include stops in Kokrajhar, Guwahati, and Silchar, highlighting the government's commitment to infrastructure and development in the northeastern region of India.

On March 13, PM Modi will lay the foundation stone for projects worth approximately ₹4,570 crore in Kokrajhar, demonstrating the government's focus on enhancing connectivity and economic development in the area. The projects aim to address various local needs and boost the region's economic potential, which has historically lagged behind other parts of the country.

The initiation of these projects is expected to have a considerable positive impact on the local economy and could help in improving the overall living standards in Assam and Bengal. By investing in infrastructure, the government aims to promote growth and development in these states, which are crucial for the nation's larger economic framework.
