[Assam] A big hoax (LETTERS TO THE EDITOR, The Assam Tribune, Monday, August 04, 2008 )

A big hoax

Sir, – Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi has recently announced that extra seats would be provided from the current academic session in the two Engineering Colleges of the State to compensate the reduction of quota in the NITs by the Government of India. The aspiring students as well as their parents were much relieved at the CM’s announcement. People at large were also happy at the decision of the Government.
 The news item ‘CM’s announcement creates confusion’ (AT, July 24) really created confusion in the minds of the students and their parents. In the same news item, it was described how two mothers from Nalbari came with their sons to the counselling centre as Guwahati and were totally disappointed when they were told that no such arrangement could be made this year. The Director of Technical Education was reported to have told the staff reporter that for seat enhancement, approval of State Government, AICTE and the respective universities were needed, Now the question arises as to how the CM made the announcement without verifying the legalities involved ? Was the DTE not consulted by the CM’s office prior to the announcement ? If at all the DTE was consulted, did he mislead the CM? All these probabilities are haunting the minds of the citizens. Will the CM’s office clarify for the benefit of the students, their parents and the people at large.
 – Yours etc., BIRESH CH DAS, Bharalumukh, Guwahati.
