AASU, ABSU to improve Assam’s education system

Guwahati, August 26: Two premier student bodies of Assam have come together to “cleanse” the educational system for the betterment of students.

The All Assam Students Union (AASU) and the All Bodo Students Union (ABSU) today decided to work closely to “correct the evils” in the educational system of the state.

AASU adviser Dr Samujjal Bhattacharya and ABSU president Promod Boro told reporters here that they would launch a state-wide movement to put pressure on the government to improve the education sector for the benefit of the students.

“The government should realise that merely running colleges and educational institutions does not count. Making them effective and able to shape the future of the students should be the motto”, they said.

“Both the student bodies will hold a rally here on September 19 next to create awareness to improve the education system”, they said.
