Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma laid the foundation for JK Lakshmi Cement's Rs 11,000-crore Project Kamakshi in Umrangso, Dima Hasao district. The integrated plant will initially produce one million tonnes of clinker and cement annually, with plans to increase capacity. The project aims to generate around 1,000 to 2,000 jobs and support local entrepreneurship through a new scheme offering Rs 2 lakh aid to 500 youths. The initiative is part of Assam's broader industrial growth strategy to boost employment and reduce youth migration.
