Instead we celebrate Rabhaa Divas, Silpi Divas and have conferred the ‘Jatiya yak’ title on Srimanta Sankardev, besides celebrating Bihu as Jatiya Utsav. Moreover, we have been organizing book fairs every year and last year books worth Rs 4 lakh were sold among the students.

To enhance learning so that students can score more in the competitive examitions, we have opened two tiol-level residential coaching institutes for JEE mains and advance courses and one for AIPMT under tiol-level instructors and teachers,” added Achyup Dip Saikia.
