The minister said that the Assam government has taken the initiative so that no students have to go outside for further studies. “The students will not go outside this year for the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and to provide better education to the students these colleges have been started at the earliest,” said Sarma.
The minister further informed that the appointment process of the colleges have been handed over to the managing committee as it gets delayed if it would have been given to public service commission.
