At the event, Modi Ji opened the Maritime Skill Development Centre in Guwahati, which would provide local youths with greater employment possibilities. He also launched the groundwork for a ship-repairing facility in Guwahati that would compete with a facility of the same nature in Kolkata by saving ship owners money on fuel and labor expenses, increasing nearby subsidiary businesses, and creating jobs.
In terms of roadways and railways, improvements have been made by them and now they are working on waterways for further development, According to Himanta Biswa Sarma the MV Ganga Vilas would make it possible for visitors to go to destinations like the Assamese tea capital Dibrugarh, the Kaziranga National Park, Majuli Island, and Kamakhya Temple.
