Assam Assembly Passes Education Bills Amid Opposition Walkout
The Assam Assembly recently passed six important education bills.
The opposition parties, like Congress and CPI(M), were not happy because the government did not accept their suggested changes to the bills.

The opposition was worried about the future of teachers and schools, and they wanted to include madrassas in the new rules.
