The Assam Administrative Staff College on Thursday hosted a conclave on the implementation of the National Education Policy-2020 in Guwahati’s Khanapara.
The ceremony was graced by the esteemed presence of Governor Gulab Chand Kataria, who actively participated in the event.
CM Sarma delivered a captivating speech, highlighting the government's pivotal role in the successful execution of the NEP.
The Chief Minister expressed his delight at the significant progress made in implementing the NEP in the state.
CM Sarma said, “We have witnessed significant advancements and notable strides in the education sector. I want to credit the emphasis placed on education following Governor Kataria’s assumption of office.”
Recognizing the vital role of universities, CM Sarma stressed their importance in achieving the goals outlined in the NEP. He also acknowledged the significance of colleges in the educational landscape.

Expressing his visionary aspirations, CM Sarma said, “I envision Assam not merely as an educational hub for the North East but as a distinguished center for education encompassing Eastern India and the entire nation of Bharat. To achieve this, it is imperative that at least 50% of our universities secure a position in the top 100 rankings."
