Over the past decade, the Northeast has seen its railway map redrawn at an unprecedented pace. Long-pending projects have moved from survey sheets to reality, with new stations opening in states that had none for over a century and capitals finally being connected to the national network. The phenomenal growth Assam charted in the last eleven years received a massive boost with the inauguration and foundation laying of a series of projects by PM Modi on September 14, 2025. For instance, the Kuruwa–Narengi Bridge over the River Brahmaputra and the Guwahati Ring Road projects will make travel and transport seamless, while the Polypropylene and Bioethanol Plants will revolutionise the industrial sector, opening job opportunities for the youth.
