The Assam State Cabinet has taken key decisions, including approval of the Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) Policy of Assam, 2025, aimed at positioning Assam as the leading aviation MRO hub of Northeast India by 2030 and strengthening Assam’s education framework.
In a post on X, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma stated, “In today’s meeting at the Assam Cabinet, we resolved to the Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) Policy 2025 by approving High-Powered Investment Committee for ₹10,000+ crore projects, strengthening Assam’s Education framework, tabling of the Mehta Commission Report at Assam Legislative Assembly (ALA) and decriminalizing of minor offences.
Assam has approved to constitute a high-powered Investment Committee headed by the Chief Minister for high-value investments of ₹10,000 crore and above to serve as the apex mechanism for policy-level facilitation, expedited clearances, customized incentive structuring where required, and continuous support for such strategic projects.
The State Cabinet has approved the Assam Non-Government Educational Institutions (Regulation of Fees) (Amendment) Bill, 2025, which aimed at strengthening the regulation of fees charged by private educational institutions and ensuring that all Non-Government Educational Institutions, including those established and managed by minorities under Article 30(1) of the Constitution of India, are subject to transparent registration, fee fixation, and periodic renewal as mandated by law. These measures aim to promote equity and affordability in Education, ensuring that all private institutions operate within a fair and regulated framework, protecting the interests of students and parents, the State Government said in a press release.
The State Cabinet has approved the Assam Education (Provincialization of Services of Non-Teaching Staff of Venture Educational Institutions) (Amendment) Bill, 2025 to provide for annual enhancement of fixed monthly salaries of provincialized non-teaching staff working in venture Educational Institutions, introducing a provision for six per cent annual enhancement. This amendment is intended to offer financial relief and career progression to non-teaching employees, addressing long-pending demands for salary revision and improving their morale and service motivation.
The State Cabinet has approved placing the Mehta (Unofficial) Judicial Commission of Enquiry Report on the incidents related to the 1983 Assam Election violence before the Assam Legislative Assembly (ALA) in the upcoming session.
