The chief secretary of Assam called for a comprehensive roadmap to boost the state's higher education sector, emphasizing the need for coordinated policy action.
Assam's chief secretary addressed senior education officials, urging the formulation of a detailed roadmap aimed at revitalising the state's higher education system. He highlighted that the sector faces gaps in infrastructure, research capacity and graduate employability, which require a unified strategic approach.
The official stressed that without a clear plan, efforts to improve university standards and expand access may remain fragmented. He called for collaboration among state departments, universities and industry partners to align resources and objectives.
To move forward, the chief secretary proposed setting up a task force that will draft the roadmap within the next few months, followed by consultations with stakeholders and alignment with central government schemes. The initiative seeks to position Assam as a competitive hub for higher learning in the Northeast.
The statement reflects the administration's broader focus on education reform, aiming to attract investment, improve faculty quality and enhance research output across the state's colleges and universities.
