This pioneering project has been made possible by utilizing the award incentive of the Prime Ministerโ€™s Award for Excellence in Public Administration, 2024, which was conferred upon Swapneel Paul.

Speaking at the inauguration, the District Commissioner said he was determined to use the award money for impactful work that benefits the people of Tinsukia.
