The project is part of a wider capital expenditure plan covering healthcare, education, roads, power, housing, and industrial infrastructure, the government said.
The Assam Cabinet has approved a Rs 600-crore Proton Beam Therapy facility as the state government steps up investments in healthcare and other key infrastructure sectors.
The project is part of a wider capital expenditure plan covering healthcare, education, roads, power, housing, and industrial infrastructure, the government said.
Funding for the projects will come from the state’s own resources, borrowings from NABARD, and different schemes of the Central government.
In the health sector, the government plans to improve primary healthcare facilities and expand access to advanced treatment. The proposed Proton Beam Therapy centre is expected to add a specialised cancer treatment facility to the state.
The Cabinet has also cleared infrastructure-related proposals for schools and anganwadi centres.
Road connectivity and the power sector are other areas where fresh investments have been planned. Proposals have also been made for facilities aimed at women, including women-only markets and hostels.
