Assam Government Advances Decentralization to Improve Local Service Access
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma emphasized decentralizing administrative powers to bring government services closer to citizens. After inaugurating the new integrated District Commissioner Office in Guwahati, he announced plans to delegate more authority to Additional District Commissioners and local offices. The government aims to facilitate land and flat registrations at multiple locations, reducing travel to Sub-Registrar offices. Under Project Sadbhawana, functions will be delegated to lower administrative units, with increased monitoring by District Commissioners to improve service delivery.
