Guwahati, February 22 – Assam has always been a symbol of unity, harmony, and collective progress, while successfully preserving its rich cultural heritage, said Jeet Adani, Director of Adani Airport Holdings Ltd, on Sunday.
In his address at the inauguration of the new integrated terminal of the Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport here, Jeet Adani said that the people of Assam have consistently demonstrated how diverse communities can live and grow together with dignity and mutual respect.
"Assam has always stood for unity and collective progress. The people here work together with dignity and mutual respect. The state has set an example of harmony and cultural richness for the rest of the country," he said.
He noted that Assam’s development journey has been guided by inclusiveness and resilience, adding that the state has grown by embracing diversity rather than allowing divisions to weaken its social fabric.
"By the grace of God, Assam has grown while preserving its diverse traditions and guiding different communities to live together peacefully," Jeet Adani said.
Highlighting the natural beauty of the state, he described Assam as a land where nature and humanity coexist in balance.
"Assam is known for its natural beauty and cultural heritage. Every image of Assam reflects its vibrant people and unique culture. Its traditions, festivals, and way of life are symbols of pride and identity," he added.
Jeet Adani said that respecting one's roots and heritage is essential for building a strong future. Drawing a parallel with historians who preserve the legacy of civilizations, he said that Assam has always remembered and honored its past while moving forward on the path of progress.
"Assam's journey has been a beautiful test of resilience and unity. It is a matter of honor for all of us," he said.
Emphasizing the importance of connectivity and openness, Adani said that development should not come at the cost of isolation. "We do not build our future by dividing ourselves from the world. We build it by staying connected, inclusive, and strong together," he said.
He added that the new airport terminal will play a key role in enhancing connectivity, boosting tourism and trade, and supporting Assam's emergence as a major growth engine in the Northeast.
