The World Bank has approved $680 million funding for three development projects in Assam focusing on climate-resilient infrastructure ($350 million), education and adolescent wellbeing ($250 million), and governance improvements ($80 million).

All projects have 16-year maturity periods with three-year grace periods and aim to address climate vulnerability, infrastructure gaps, and poverty while supporting long-term economic development.
