Guwahati | Himanta Biswa Sarma on Saturday said Assam is witnessing rapid growth in its unincorporated sector and is emerging as one of the fastest-growing economies in the country.

Highlighting key economic indicators on May 9, the Chief Minister said the state currently has 13.71 lakh enterprises operating in the unincorporated sector. According to him, nearly 94.6 per cent of these enterprises are now linked to the banking system, reflecting increasing financial inclusion and formalisation of businesses across the state.
