Assam to Create New Graduate Teacher Posts in Schools, Says Himanta Sarma

On Friday, the Assam cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, approved the creation of 1,766 new graduate teacher positions for mathematics in state schools. This decision was made during a state cabinet meeting held at Lok Sewa Bhawan in Guwahati.

In addition to the new teacher positions, the cabinet also approved the recruitment of 221 third and fourth-grade positions in 11 polytechnics and two engineering colleges across the state. Chief Minister Sarma emphasized that the recruitment for these posts would be conducted by the governing bodies of the institutions, with salaries funded directly from the state budget, eliminating the need for outsourcing.

The Assam cabinet also approved an increase in the number of constituencies for the Moran and Matak Autonomous Councils. The number of constituencies for both councils will be expanded from 22 to 27.

Additionally, the cabinet approved the inclusion of 16 Bodo community-dominated villages from the Sonitpur and Biswanath districts into the Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR).
