Schools with Cutting-Edge Facilities to Be Established in Assam

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday highlighted that the state government is implementing various initiatives to enhance the education sector while collaborating with all involved stakeholders.

He stated that the government is working towards establishing state-of-the-art schools throughout the state that will significantly transform education.

During Republic Day speech in Dibrugarh on Monday, the Chief Minister stated “These schools will be established in each of the Assembly constituencies in the state with some constituencies will get more than one such school with all modern facilities."

Also CM Sarma stated, "We are developing infrastructure to turn three towns into cities -- Dibrugarh, Tezpur, and Silchar. Dibrugarh will have an Assembly complex by 2027 and will be Assam’s second Capital. He also indicated that three towns in the state will be developed into cities, while Dibrugarh is set to become the state’s second capital with a new Assembly complex being constructed there within the next two years.

"There has been displeasure among the state government employees on the New Pension Scheme (NPS). The state government has decided to abolish the NPS in Assam and Unified Pension Scheme will come into effect from April month. This will ensure that once an employee completes 25 years of government service, the person is entitled to get 50 percent of last drawn salary along with 50 percent of Dearness Allowance as pension after retirement," CM Sarma added.
