The has initiated efforts to provide citizen-friendly Services to people digitally in a phased manner, Sarma said. He said besides Tinsukia, steps have been taken to extend financial incentives to beneficiaries in Hojai, Darang, Nalbari, Lakhimpur, Karimganj, Nagaon, Marigaon, Goalpara, Hailakandi and Barpeta districts under the scheme. The Assam government will also design a programme for those who have not been able to repay loans.
