Free Higher Education for Lagging students in Assam

Assam government on Saturday announced free education for students with family income less than Rs one lakh per annum who are taking admissions in higher secondary, three-year degree and polytechnic diploma courses from this year.

As far as my knowledge goes, Assam is the first state in India to make higher education free for poor students. There will be absolutely no fee for those students whose parents' income is less than Rs 1 lakh a year," Assam Education Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said in a press conference here. He said this will cover 310 government and provincialised colleges across the state benefiting 50,000-60,000 students.

Private institutions are outside the purview of this decision. The state government will incur an additional expenditure of Rs 70 crore for this in the first year, which will increase in the subsequent years.

Foreign study tips for students

Why study abroad?

Studying abroad gives you an opportunity to learn foreign language. There is no better and more effective way to learn a language than to be immersed in a culture that speaks the language you are learning.

You’re surrounded by the language on a daily basis and are seeing and hearing it in the proper cultural context. Language learning happens most quickly under these circumstances.

While studying abroad, you will not only meet a new culture, but also other international students who are far from home and looking for friends from abroad, like you are.
