The engagement is expected to help launch a roadmap focused on sustainable livelihoods, innovation-driven development, and economic opportunities across Assam.
The CMO stated that the European Union’s “Blue Valley” initiative will play a significant role in empowering women, farmers, and entrepreneurs working in sectors such as food processing, flavours, fragrances, tea, and AYUSH-related industries.
