    Digital Desk: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and Tata Sons Limited Chairman N Chandrasekaran performed the Bhumi Pujan for India's first indigenous semiconductor assembly and test facility in Jagiroad, Morigaon district. 

    The Rs 27,000 crore Tata Electronics greenfield project was celebrated with hymns from priests across India and the unveiling of a 3-D model by the Chief Minister.
