This collaboration is designed to enhance job opportunities for the youth by equipping them with industry-relevant skills. Dassault, a global leader in aerospace, will contribute its expertise and resources to the training program.

The project is seen as a major step towards strengthening the aerospace sector and promoting overall development in Assam.

Additionally, the Assam cabinet has approved amendments to the SOP for the withdrawal of petty and minor cases, with the aim of decongesting jails by releasing undertrial prisoners. The revised procedure will lead to the withdrawal of 81,000 minor cases by March 2024.
