Assam Govt To Conduct Socio-Economic Assessment Of Indigenous Muslim Communities 

Guwahati/Hyderabad, Oct 3 (Hydnow):  The Assam government on Tuesday said that it will conduct a socio-economic survey of the state’s five indigenous Muslim communities so that measures can be taken for their upliftment. 

Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma held a meeting with senior officials at the state secretariat regarding it. 

“In a meeting held at Janata Bhawan, HCM Dr@himantabiswa directed the officials concerned to carry out a socio-economic assessment of Assam’s Indigenous Muslim communities (Goria, Moria, Deshi, Syed & Jolha),” the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) posted on X. 

The findings of the assessment will guide the state government to take suitable measures, aimed at comprehensive socio-political and educational upliftment of the indigenous minorities, it said. 

The development comes a day after the Nitish Kumar government in Bihar released findings of its much-awaited caste survey, months ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, which revealed that OBCs and EBCs constitute 63 percent of the state’s total population. (Hydnow)
