    While announcing multiple other schemes under the Gorukhuti Agriculture Project, Himanta Biswa Sarma said that the people of Gorukhuti will see a revolution in the field of agriculture and agri-based activities as this project will transform the look of the entire region which has been lacking from agriculture advancement.





    "Gorukhuti project is a great opportunity for our youth to take up dairy & agriculture. They must dedicate themselves to agriculture and take control of our farmlands occupied by illegal infiltrators for so long," added CM Sarma.





    While at Dholpur, CM Himanta Biswa Sarma laid the foundation stone of Dholpur Bhagawat Namghar & interacted with Agro Soldier volunteers engaged in Gorukhuti Multipurpose Agriculture Project. He handed over a donation of Rs 1 crore to the Namghar.





    Apart from the Namghar, CM Sarma also laid the foundation stone for the construction of the road from Gorukhuti Kalita Para to Gaushala to be built at an estimated cost of Rs 1.65 crore under APART scheme. He even laid the foundation stone of a Weaving Training Centre at Nalijhar, Gorukhuti where he interacted with the women weavers at the makeshift weaving centre.
