well equipped to take up the project. The University project would be able to
give distant education facilities to all their units across the country. 

Kampa Borgoyari, deputy chief of BTC said the project would place the Bodoland
Territorial Council on the educational map of the country and that this is a
part of BTC's vision of creating a model autonomous council. He added that
this is the fourth PPP (public private participation) project in the BTC with
the association of IL&FS after Champamati Hydropower project (4 MW), Rupahi

infrastructure facilities. It was also informed that 15% seats would be reserved
for Students from within the BTC area.
