Assam govt to to renovate educational institutions more than 50 years old: Ranoj Pegu

June 20: “The Assam education department will take up several schemes to renovate educational institutions, which were more than 50 years old,” said Dr Ranoj Pegu, State Education Minister on Saturday. He was on a visit to his alma mater Shankardev Seminary in Assam’s Jorhat.

Several institutes which had been established 100 years ago have fallen on bad days, mostly due to the proliferation of private institutes. Earlier it was from these institutes that students excelled, said the minister. He added that these institutes laid the foundation of education in the state and the government will try to bring back the lost glory, which these schools once held by implementing different schemes from next year.
