Move to remove HS course from Bhattadev University opposed by AASU

PATHSALA: The erstwhile Bajali College, now converted to Bhattadev University, is allegedly planning to remove Higher Secondary course from the university and the move has been strongly opposed by the All Assam Students' Union (AASU) unit of the university.

The unit already submitted memorandum to the Vice-Chancellor of the university to stop such a move immediately. The AASU unit in the memorandum also pointed out the Bhattadev University Act, 2017 section 6 (18) where the provision of HS course is mentioned. They also sent copies of the memorandum to the Governor of Assam, the Chief Minister and the State Education Minister.

Meanwhile, the Bajali and Bhattadev University unit of Akhil Bharati Vidyarthi Parisad also sent petition separately to the State Health and Education Minister, Himanta Biswa Sarma, not to remove the higher secondary course from the university in the greater interest of the students of the locality.
