Assam Budget Highlights Capital Expenditure Surge Amid SVAMITVA Implementation Delays
The latest in this situation
How it started
What happened
The Government of Assam tabled the 2026-27 state budget, noting that capital expenditure increased nearly tenfold, rising from Rs 2,951 crore in 2015-16 to approximately Rs 29,000 crore. Simultaneously, the implementation of the Government of India's SVAMITVA scheme is facing severe delays in Assam, preventing the issuance of property cards to rural inhabitants.
Why it matters
The budget reflects major investments in infrastructure, healthcare, and power, alongside plans to provide two lakh jobs. However, the lag in SVAMITVA implementation, which aims to provide a Record of Rights to rural property owners, is depriving villagers of accessing bank loans and other credit facilities.
Who's involved
- AssamThe state where central government schemes are being implemented and the budget was presented.
- Government of AssamThe state government responsible for implementing the SVAMITVA scheme and presenting the state budget.
- Government of IndiaThe central government whose flagship SVAMITVA scheme is being implemented in the state.
