Message from LSA Head

With immense pleasure we introduce ourselves as trusted partner of People of Assam in ensuring seamless telecommunication service delivery across the State. In Assam Licensing Service Area (LSA), we are committed to ensure stable telecom services that cater peoples’ needs with efficiency & reliability through Telecom Service Providers (TSPs) & Internet Service Providers (ISPs). The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) is committed in bridging digital gap between urban and rural population and inclusion among the people of Assam for which various telecom projects (funded by Government of India/ Digital Bharat Nidhi) are in progress (like BSNL 4G Saturation project, Amended Bharat Net etc,) under National Digital Communication Policy (NDCP-2018).

In today’s interconnected world, reliable and efficient communication infrastructure is fundamental in driving socio-economic growth and fostering inclusive development. We are steadfast in our mission to provide seamless access to a wide range of telecommunications services, including high-speed internet, mobile connectivity and digital innovations that enrich daily lives.

In a snapshot, Assam LSA office is working in consultation with all stakeholders i.e. TSPs/ ISPs/ IPs and State Government. Presently two Universal Service Obligation Fund projects (executed by M/s Bharti Airtel Limited & M/s Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited) are operative in Assam to provide quality Telecom Service in remote and hilly areas. In addition to it, work on BSNL 4G Saturation project (another flagship project of DoT), which aims to provide 4G connectivity to all uncovered villages across the State is currently underway. Two 5G use case test labs have also been commissioned at IIT Guwahati and NIT Silchar for faster proliferation of 5G technology in the State. DoT is taking all steps to spread awareness about very useful citizen centric services launched through Sanchar Saathi Portal/ App. Telecom users can report fraud calls (financial, digital arrest etc.); block his/her lost/stolen mobile handset; check genuineness of mobile handset; find ISPs working in area etc. through this Portal/App. Feedback, suggestions and support from all the stakeholders are invaluable as we continue to innovate and elevate the standard of Telecom services in our State.

We reaffirm unwavering commitment by Assam LSA team to serve with excellence, integrity and dedication.
