Assam will soon get a Rs 25,000-crore semiconductor packaging unit which will provide jobs to youth interested in this sector, Union Minister of State for Electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar said here on Thursday.
Speaking at the Digital India #futureSKILLS Summit, Chandrasekhar mentioned that a proposal for a semiconductor plant with the Tatas is expected to be finalised soon and will be sent to the cabinet for final approval.
”The summit is being held in the country for the first time and I have been asked why it is being held here and not in Hyderabad or Delhi. The reason is that under the dynamic leadership of Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, a semiconductor plant will come up very soon in the state, allowing interested youth to find employment opportunities without having to leave,” the Union minister said.
