[Assam] Engineering College at Dhemaji

[chittaranjan pathak]

Dear Bulajit

In this case idea was never to argue with you-specially on an issue like spread of technical education in Assam. 
  Pragmatically and more immediately-
  I would have seen more sense if there was an effort to have a special allocation of seats for students from these two backward districts of Dhemaji and Lakhimpur to already existing centrally funded NERIST which is just across the boarder. After all NERIST was meant to fulfill these types of needs for all the northeast states. And these two districts in the immediate hinterland deserve special privileges.
  Or a Dhemaji chapter of Tezpur University with many more useful disciplines!
  Or multiple increases in seats of existing AEC and JEC to accommodate more students from all the districts in many more useful contemporary disciplines. Growth taking leverage of existing infrastructure is always easier and quicker.
   
  But yes-there are no technical institutes in north bank. If funding is not a problem, an engineering college or technical institute at Dhemaji would be more than welcome. And let that be harbinger for setting up of many more technical colleges in Assam. After all Andhra Pradesh has 238 engineering colleges including some 35 AICTE recognized ones and some 53 medical colleges. Proportionately Assam should have at least 80 engineering colleges and 18 medical colleges. Any one who is aware of such skewed statistics can not be averse to idea of having more engineering colleges in Assam. So the NKC recommendation or the news item in the Assamese daily hardly makes me any wiser. Seeing the state of affairs of the two state run engineering colleges, I was just pointing out towards some more immediate necessities.

 

And now some clarification about my last letter! You asked based on my sentence ("Then may be you will hear opinion from other netters also.")-why I was thinking that other netters would also be thinking like me? It is amusing that you thought I was hoping for a barrage of criticism for thinking about an engineering college at Dhemaji. My only intent was to get useful feedback- from every one. I never wanted alignment with my thoughts, which any way I believe were far from negative. In my first letter I was merely suggesting that if state government resources are to be used for an engineering college in Dhemaji, then we should take a hard look at the two engineering colleges run by the state government. 
  Now coming back to the original issue, it is great to know that you are taking initiative for establishing an engineering college in a backward region. Hope people will come up with more information, feedback, useful ideas on the issue so the effort gets further impetus.

  Basically that’s what actually I wanted- some sort of back ground information on the issue. Sometimes sending attachments with some note or additional information is very helpful. I was getting lost on the first page of the news crammed e-news paper till I received the relevant page separately from Bulajit.
  Thanks for vouching for my intent.
  Regards
  Chitta

  I donot know why you are arguing with me regarding engineering college at Dhemaji.
  I think you have not read the New on "Engineering College at Dhemaji "published in the Adinor Sombad (18.01.2007), which I have sent as attach file in my prvious mail.
   
  In the news all the points are clearly described why only Engineering College and only at Dhemaji.
