I must say that we at the Assam Institute of Management would really be able to do something if we get some donations for our institute. we have the requsite permission from the government of India for accepting donations and they can be made to us through CAS. In fact a few NRI well-wishers have done so and we had more than a lakh and half of rupees in the fund. we are using it for computers and equipment for our institute. we can assure that the money will be accounted for and scruplously utilised.Our annual accounts are audited and have to be passed by the Governing Body and the General Body every year before we can hope for further grant-in-aid from the state government.
