As India hosted the 2026 BRICS Summit in New Delhi, the resulting multilateral agreements and the New Delhi Declaration carry direct, practical benefits for regional development. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma highlighted how the state is positioned to leverage these global frameworks to boost its economy, agriculture, infrastructure, and heritage preservation.

Smarter Agriculture and Climate Resilience

  1. Agroecology Networks: Through the newly established BRICS Network of Centres of Excellence on Agroecology and Regenerative Agriculture, Assam aims to adopt climate-resilient farming practices to protect crops against shifting weather patterns.
  2. Disaster Early Warning: The integration of BRICS Guidelines for Disaster Management Early Warning Data will bolster the state’s forecasting capabilities, helping local authorities better prepare for seasonal floods and severe weather risks.

Economic Growth, Logistics, and Startups

  1. MSME Expansion: Under the Workplan on Internationalization of MSMEs, small enterprises and local schemes (such as CMAAA and MMUA) can form international trade partnerships across BRICS member nations.
  2. Supply Chain Boost: The BRICS Logistics Supply Chain Cooperation Framework will enhance cross-sector integration, directly benefiting key transit hubs like the Jogighopa Multi-Modal Logistics Park (MMLP).
  3. Startup Support: Local entrepreneurs will gain access to global mentorship, funding avenues, and technical resources via the BRICS Incubator Network.

Culture, Infrastructure, and Clean Energy

  1. Digital Heritage Preservation: Cooperation in preserving historical manuscripts and cultural records will bring global archival best practices to Assam's heritage digitization projects.
  2. Urban Development: Cities and towns across Assam will have access to modern urban development models shared through the BRICS Compendium of Urban Good Practices.
  3. Green Energy Transition: Adopting BRICS Guiding Principles on Smart Grids and Energy Storage will support the state’s expanding clean energy initiatives, including battery storage and pumped-storage hydroelectricity projects.
