In a conference that was organised on Thursday by the Governor’s Secretariat in partnership with the Higher Education Department of the state government Assam Chief Minister, Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma announced that his government will set up a state research foundation in line with the National Research Foundation as envisaged in National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.

The main idea behind this is to promote innovative research with quantifiable outcomes for transformational reforms in the education sector.

“We are committed to implementing NEP 2020 for qualitative improvement of education. The fact that we have earmarked six per cent of the state’s GDP for education speaks volumes of our intent to develop our human resources… “, Sarma said.

The department of higher education will collaborate with other related departments to develop skill and training modules to up-skill the potential workforce for the industry as per market requirements to help the students with the start-up ecosystem and entrepreneurial ventures.
