[Assam] Upgrading textile institute-SANGEET BORA(LETTERS TO THE EDITOR, The Assam Tribune, Thursday, August 07, 2008 )

Upgrading textile institute

 SIR, – Much ado is raised on the mass exodus of the students each year from Assam for higher education. But strangely enough the government has not taken any concrete measures to arrest this exodus. The students cannot but go outside the State to study certain subjects as these subjects are not offered in the educational institutions of Assam. There are more than 200 course names in the engineering course. But the engineering colleges of Assam offer only a few traditional courses. The government should take steps for introducing new courses in the existing engineering colleges instead of opening more engineering colleges with traditional courses. The Assam Textile Institute, situated near Dighalipukhuri, Guwahati offers untraditional job oriented subjects like Fashion Technology, Garment Technology and Textile Technology. But as there is provision to study upto diploma level only, the students have to go outside for studying B Tech and M Tech in
 these subjects. So the government of Assam should take immediate steps to upgrade this Textile Institute upto first B Tech then to M Tech level with improvement of infrastructure. This will contribute a lot in removing a long felt need.– Yours etc., SANGEET BORA, Beltola, Guwahati.
