The Borbora ministry was the state ministry of Assam headed by Chief Minister Golap Borbora of the Janata Party from 12 March 1978 until its resignation on 4 September 1979. The ministry was formed in the aftermath of the post-Emergency election in the state held in 1978 resulting in the victory of the Janata Party in the state. Borbora became the first non-Congress chief minister of the state and ousted the government of Sarat Chandra Sinha who had been in power since January 1972. The ministry remained in office until Borbora's resignation on 4 September 1979 and his subsequent replacement by Speaker of the Assembly Jogendra Nath Hazarika.
