He continued, “With the blessings of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji, Assam’s Vikas Yatra has crossed a very significant milestone. Our Cabinet held its 100th meeting yesterday”.


Sarma stated, “ The Cabinet system is the bedrock of our governance architecture and fulcrum of collective decision making. The aim of frequent meetings is to enable greater exchange of ideas and ensure a whole-of-government approach in decision making”.

The chief minister said, “In May 2021, we decided to hold meetings of the State Cabinet every week. Apart from increasing the frequency of meetings, we have taken several measures to augment the transparency and accountability of Cabinet decisions”.
