On behalf of Assam and our sister states in the North East, I made a passionate appeal to the Hon’ble Finance Minister Smt. @nsitharaman Ji to allow our governments to access enhanced limits through Externally Aided Projects (EAP) keeping in view our exceptional track record and honest implementation of schemes and projects.

Over the past few years, these projects, backed by multilateral financial agencies, have empowered the Government of Assam to initiate multiple mega transformative projects which were initially considered unviable due to high cost of capital.

Currently, such projects worth ₹53,000 cr are underway in Assam alone, spanning across :

✅Bridges & Embankments
✅Hospitals
✅Robotics
✅Mega Power Infrastructure

Needless to say, Externally Aided Projects also bring in vibrant project management skills and global best practices into our government machinery.

I found the Inaugural Session of the ‘Leveraging Externally Aided Projects in the North-Eastern States’ Conference an excellent platform to improve collaboration and planning in the implementation of such projects.

My compliments to @FinMinIndia for organising this seminar and to all my distinguished counterparts from our sister states for their valuable insights and knowledge.

We are committed to transform the North East into India’s growth engine under the leadership of Adarniya @narendramodi Ji.

On the auspicious occasion of Shukla Chaturthi in the holy month of Ahaar, performed Pravesh Puja in my office at Janata Bhawan this morning with Vedic rituals and prayers.

As I assume this important ministerial responsibility, I humbly seek the blessings, guidance and goodwill of all to discharge my duties with dedication, sincerity and commitment.

Officials from Agence Française de Développement (AFD), along with the PCCF & HoFF, Assam, Project Director, APFBC Phase II & Activity Director, paid a courtesy call on me today.

During the meeting, they briefed me on the successful completion of Phase II of the Assam Project on Forest & Biodiversity Conservation (APFBC). I am pleased to note that AFD appreciated the achievements of the Assam Forest Department under the project and expressed keen interest in extending its support through a proposed Phase III to further strengthen biodiversity conservation, sustainable forest management, and community participation through skill enhancement initiatives across Assam.

The forests of Assam continue to reveal their hidden treasures !

The sighting of this Black Beauty in Dulung Reserve Forest is a powerful reminder that conservation works when habitats are protected and ecosystems are allowed to thrive.

When conservation efforts succeed, nature speaks for itself!

[Jayanta Mallabaruah @jayanta_malla]

When leadership is decisive and commitment is unwavering, extraordinary outcomes follow!

Hon'ble CM Dr. @himantabiswa sir's relentless focus on conservation, coupled with the tireless efforts of our Forest Department officials and security agencies, has ensured zero rhino and tiger poaching in Manas over last 3 years.

[Jayanta Mallabaruah @jayanta_malla]

Pleased to attend the Closure Workshop of the Assam Project on Forest & Biodiversity Conservation (APFBC), Phase-II today.

Under the visionary leadership of Hon’ble CM Dr. @himantabiswa dangoriya, Assam has made remarkable strides in forest management and biodiversity conservation, emerging as one of India’s leading states in this field.

I extend my sincere appreciation to the Forest Department, APFBC Society, partner organisations and local communities whose collective efforts have contributed to the success of this landmark initiative.

Do you know who invented the backbone of #Internet ?

It started with a small question: Can Light bend? Scientists mocked him.

BUT, he was determined to find the answers, that led to the discovery of Fibre Optics.

Learn about the Indian scientist who invented the backbone of the internet and never got the Nobel Prize for it.

Meet Narinder Singh Kapany. Born in Moga, Punjab in 1926. You’ve probably never heard his name.

But right now, the data reaching your phone is traveling on technology he invented. 👇

Zero Rhino and Tiger Poaching in Manas National Park for 3 straight years!

From an era where poaching dominated news headlines to now when zero poaching is the new normal- this feat signifies the relentless efforts Assam has undertaken to preserve our faunal diversity.

The Gangetic river dolphin, colloquially known as Xihu is being spotted frequently in the waters of Brahmaputra and its tributaries due to the extensive conservation efforts we've undertaken.

Enjoy this beautiful sighting of this endangered species on the outskirts of Guwahati.

This is the NUDT mosquito drone, a spy UAV built by China's National University of Defense Technology for covert surveillance you can't see coming.

Under 0.3 grams. Wings that flap 500 times a second.

Sensors built for covert surveillance, all packed into a body you'd swat without thinking.

The Cambridge Prank on Ramanujan!

While at King's College, P. C. Mahalanobis (Father of Statistics in India) became incredibly close friends with iconic Indian genius, the mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan.

1 afternoon, Mahalanobis was reading a Cambridge strand magazine & found a highly complex mathematical puzzle involving a street of houses numbered 1 to N. The puzzle required finding a house number x such that the sum of the house numbers to its left equaled the sum of the house numbers to its right.

Mahalanobis figured it out after a few mins of trial calculations. He walked over to Ramanujan's room, where Ramanujan was busy frying vegetables for dinner. Mahalanobis read out the puzzle. W/o even turning around from his frying pan, Ramanujan started stirring the vegetables & calmly said: "Take down the solution."

Ramanujan did not just give the single answer to that specific puzzle, he dictated a continued fraction that provided the universal solution for the infinite family of all such streets that could ever exist.

Mahalanobis was paralyzed with shock. He asked Ramanujan how he did it instantly. Ramanujan famously replied, "The moment I heard the problem, I knew that the answer was a continued fraction. Which continued fraction? I just asked myself & the answer came."

Every calculation you have ever done uses a system India invented.

Before Indian mathematicians gave the world zero and the decimal place, Greek and Roman maths used letters for numbers. Try multiplying MXLVII by CCXCIV. Merchants, architects and astronomers across the ancient world were trapped.

Baghdad's Al-Khwarizmi (c.780–847) transmitted it west. His book on the Indian place system and algorithmic calculation laid the foundation of modern mathematics. The word "algorithm" is a corruption of his name. "Algebra" comes from his treatise title. Both are Arabic transmissions of Indian originals.

Abraham Seidenberg's History of Mathematics credits India's Sulba Sutras as the inspiration for all mathematics of the ancient world.

Lin Yutang, Chinese philosopher: "India was China's teacher in trigonometry, quadratic equations, grammar, phonetics."

Carl Sagan thought Vedic cosmology the only ancient system whose timescales correspond to modern scientific cosmology.

Every time a computer runs, it counts in a system India designed.

A rare and remarkable sighting for Assam's wildlife.

For the first time, a Black Panther has been captured on a camera trap in Lakhimpur's Dulung Reserve Forest.

The presence of this elusive predator highlights the ecological significance of our reserve forests and reflects the success of sustained conservation efforts in protecting Assam's wildlife habitats.

The world is taking note of Assam's architectural identity.

The new terminal of @GuwahatiAirport has been featured in the prestigious Prix Versailles World's Most Beautiful Airports List 2026, earning global recognition for a design that seamlessly blends indigenous art, local craftsmanship and nature inspired narratives.

A proud moment as the Gateway to the North East joins an exclusive list celebrating some of the finest airports in the world.

What does a Ring Road, an Underwater Tunnel, an Expressway, a Fertilizer Plant and a Heritage Corridor have in common?

Together, they are helping shape the future of Assam and advancing the vision of a #ViksitBharat.

[GemsOfINDOLOGY @GemsOfINDOLOGY]

While Europe was under ice, someone in Ratnagiri carved a 14-metre map of India.

It's an elephant. Head west to the Konkan, tail east.

Inside it: a tiger in the east, a langur in the north, a boar in Madhya Pradesh, a pangolin in the south. Each animal where it actually lives.

Seven mountains. The Mahabharata also names seven. It was carved 10,000 years before the Mahabharata.

Now the part that should end the argument.

The map's width-to-height ratio is 1.167. Modern India is 1.04. Doesn't match.

Because they weren't mapping modern India.

Reverse-solve 1.167 against the coastline of 12,000 BCE — when the sea was 120m lower and the Sunda Shelf was dry land — and the eastern edge lands at ~100.9°E.

The eastern shore of the Malay Peninsula. The exact limit of the world you could walk to from India at the time.

A decorative outline doesn't do that. A map does.

The oldest known map is supposed to be Çatalhöyük, ~6,200 BCE. This predates it by 6,000 years.

It's on an open plateau. People play cricket near these carvings. The monsoon is erasing it.
