Why Assam? The Strategic Reasons Behind Choosing Jagiroad
1. Proximity to Asia’s OSAT Hub: Our Assam is closest to the other major OSAT hubs like Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Singapore. So it is the smartest advantage to choose Assam. Assam is the gateway to Southeast Asia. It will help in the supply chain.
It will cost less if India supplies from Assam, and there will also be easier, faster supply movement.
2. Abandoned Green Power + Water Supply in Jagiroad: The semiconductor project required a large amount of fresh water. Our Brahmaputra is going to be the main supplier for the project. Assam is Less environmental stress region in comparison to other water scare region of India.
3. Northeast India Talent Pool: Northeast India is now growing as a technical institutional hub day by day. A semiconductor project needs huge human resources, and Assam’s IIT Guwahati, NIT Silchar, and multiple engineering colleges provide young talent.
4. Assam Government Electronics Policy and Land Infrastructure Support: Assam’s land availability at Jagiroad and Assam government electronic policies.
What Chips Will Be Made?
Tata Semiconductor plant in Assam made a chip which used in multiple industries, such as
- Automobile: EVs, Smart Vehicle
- Smartphones, TV
- Telecommunications
- Data center AI system, etc.
Jobs and Economic Impact: What This Means for Assam and Northeast India
This project will be a game-changer for Assam and its young generation. Many jobs will be created in the project, which will increase employment opportunities for us as Assam people. 27000+ jobs will be create direct or indirectly; however, some of the requirements have already been met.
It also boosts logistics, which will again help local people which are does not know any technical skills. They can work in driving, cleaning, or other helper roles. This small role helps very much in a big project. Not only are young talents from Assam and the Northeast like school, but college students are showing interest after the mega project when they see their is many job opportunities. They don’t need togo out side of the state for a job; they can stay with their families.
