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 thatÂ’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.

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.
Please see the table of the datas given in the news also.
I think you know to read assamese.
I have again sent the news as attach file. You may delete the previous mail.
One question for you regarding your sentance("Then may be you will hear
opinion from other netters also.").Why you are thinking that other nettes also
thinking like you?
I am waiting for your reply.
Thanking You.
