GUWAHATI, October: Thanks to the State Government, the Assam State Unit of NIC now has a new office right at the heart of the Assam Secretariat, said a report from our Guwahati Correspondent. The allocation of 2,050 sq ft of space in the Secretariat itself, where even the State Government Departments are being restricted to spaces far beneath their actual requirements, speaks volumes for the State Government's appreciation of NIC services.

The entire site preparation work was carried out by the Central Public Works Department (CPWD), Guwahati, said the report. The office was formally inaugurated in March, 1992, by Dr (Mrs) IK Barthakur, Principal Adviser, Planning Commission, Government of India, added the report.
