Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma performed the Bhumi Pujan ceremony of the upcoming PepsiCo plant which is estimated to provide employment generation to over 450 people

Sharing glimpses of the foundation stone laying ceremony, Sarma wrote on X, “Assam extends a warm welcome to business opportunities! Today we marked the beginning of a Rs. 770 cr PepsiCo plant in Nalbari.”

“This will generate 450+ jobs & improve lives of 5000+ farmers. With Rs.12,000 cr private investments on the horizon, we are poised for a bright future!” he added

The Bhumi Pujan ceremony was also attended by senior Cabinet Ministers of Assam government, Eugene Willemsen, CEO (Pepsi Co AMESA) and Ahmed Al Sheikh , President (Pepsi Co India)

The manufacturing plant set up in 44.20 acre land will also provide employment to a number of women and give fillip to the economy of the state as well as create opportunities for auxiliary industries

Sarma urged the people to extend their full support to the new industries that are investing in Assam so that the state sees a massive development with industrialization

“Assam has 15 lakh unemployed boys and girls. We have provide 1 lakh government jobs, we may be able to provide another 1 lakh in the next 4-5 years,” said Sarma

“The government has to give a salary to provide jobs and to arrange it, taxes need to be collected from you. So a government job is not the answer to unemployment,” he added

He also said that the solution to unemployment is industrialization and employment generation would be more only when the industries become more
