Assam to set up Higher Education Council for better governance
The leader of a place called Assam, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, wants to make colleges and universities work better.
He said the state will create a special group called the Assam State Higher Education Council.
This group will help colleges and universities be more organized and work together.
It will make sure that everyone follows clear rules and plans.
The council will focus on four big things: getting money from the nation, planning well, helping students learn better, and making colleges well run.
The Chief Minister said that Assam has already built many new buildings and classrooms.
Now, he says, it is time to build good systems to use them.
This should make studying fairer and clearer for all students.
Students across Assam may benefit from better colleges and smoother ways of doing things.
The government hopes this will make education in Assam much better.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced the proposed Assam State Higher Education Council on Friday.
The council is expected to create a more organised, transparent and structured higher education system in the state.
The initiative emphasises four broad areas: national funding, better planning, academic excellence and stronger institutional governance.
The Chief Minister said the state has built its infrastructure and is now building the systems that drive it.
The council aims to benefit students across Assam through better planning, coordination and quality in higher education administration.
