There is also a possibility of the Prime Minister coming to the state for a second time in February to lay the foundation of the railway line between Kokrajhar and Gelephu in Bhutan.
He was also scheduled to lay the foundation of a railway coach manufacturing factory at Kokrajhar and the Guwahati-Silchar Express Highway.

He said that during his four-day visit to Davos, he met several investors and there were promises of Rs 80,000-90000 crore investments about which he will give details on his return.
Sarma said that all benefits under various schemes will be distributed by mid-February, and another round of distribution of recruitment letters for around 2000 posts in different departments will be held on February 11 or 12.
