Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma reaffirmed his government’s commitment to the welfare of the state’s tea tribes and Adivasi communities, announcing measures to expedite certificate issuance for availing reservation benefits, particularly in education.

In a post on X, the Chief Minister stated that he held meetings with representatives of the All Assam Tea Tribes Students’ Association, Chah Janajati Mahila Samiti, and All Adivasi Students’ Association.
