It is heartening to have read the minds of the one of the most forward looking alumni groups of AAU about the state of AAU's academic programs. You are better judge of AAU vis-a-vis the outside world.
What I would like to appeal to you now is you to come out with concrete ideas/ suggestions and be more publicly audible/ visible. May be a newspaper reporting in Assam, holding alumni roundtable here (which is probably the most difficult, I guess) etc. But you must impact us (AAU)with your valued ideas and dreams.
