A bunch of moments from PM Modi’s Assam visit that stood out
April 01, 2026

Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited a tea garden in Assam’s Dibrugarh and interacted with the women working there. Walking through the plantation, he briefly joined them in plucking tea leaves and observed their work up close.

The PM’s interaction with the plantation workers was a memorable one. Calling tea the soul of Assam, the Prime Minister acknowledged the contribution of tea garden workers in shaping the state’s identity and sustaining a sector that reaches markets across the world.

The women working in the tea plantation shared various aspects of their culture. The PM praised the tea garden communities for their hard work and perseverance, noting that it has strengthened Assam’s pride.

In a special gesture, the women also sang a traditional song paying homage to Jagat Janani Maa. It reflected how tradition remains closely linked with everyday life in the tea gardens, offering a glimpse into the lives and contributions of those who form the backbone of Assam’s tea industry.
