The primary objective of Advantage Assam 2.0, which marks the second edition of this international investor summit since its inception in 2018, is to enhance infrastructure development and attract investment to the state.
This two-day event is anticipated to attract investors from across India and beyond, reinforcing Assam’s reputation as a burgeoning investment hub in the country.
Simultaneously, preparations are in full swing for the Jhumoir Binandini (Mega Jhumoir) 2025, a grand cultural celebration. Approximately 8,000 performers will take part in the Jhumoir dance, a traditional dance of the Assam Tea Tribe and Adivasi Communities, symbolizing inclusivity, unity, and cultural pride and representing Assam’s rich cultural tapestry. The Mega Jhumoir event commemorates 200 years of the tea industry and 200 years of industrialization in Assam.
