The state government has set up 39 co-districts in Assam GUWAHATI — Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Saturday launched co-districts with an aim to decentralise administrative power from the district headquarters to the sub-divisional level.  He argued that the BJP government in the state was taking forward Mahatma Gandhi’s ideals of decentralising power. In a post on X, he wrote, “Taking forward Pujya Bapu’s ideals of decentralising power and Adarniya Shri @narendramodi ji’s vision of effective grassroots level governance, Assam has become the first State to launch and operationalise Co-Districts; which are targeted administrative units in a district.” Sarma claimed, “The innovative concept of creation of co-districts was taken up by the Assam government as a first-of-this-kind approach in the country. Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised this initiative of administrative reforms at the district level and wished us for this.” Taking forward Pujya Bapu’s ideals of decentralising power and Adarniya Shri @narendramodi ji's vision of effective grassroots level governance, Assam has become the first State to launch and operationalise Co-Districts; which are targeted administrative units in a district ???? pic.twitter.com/d3kBtZJSbh — Himanta Biswa Sarma (@himantabiswa) October 5, 2024 The state government has set up 39 co-districts in Assam...
