Brain drain bane
The crucial question is, why are the students moving out of Assam? The answer is simple. The present educational scenario in the state is miserable. Every year anomalies take place in the examinations conducted by the board, the council and even the university.
In degree exams, the number of first class holders is very limited compared to other universities of the country. The first class holders somehow find a way out for themselves. But a second class degree certificate has virtually no value today.
Students from Assam have proved their mettle in several fields in India and abroad. It is unfortunate that in their own state they get neither the opportunity nor the resources to prove themselves.
Scarcity of jobs in Assam is also pushing the students out of the state.
To put an end to the brain drain, the education system of our state should be revamped. The government should at the same time take the initiative to provide a secure future to the students so that they can contribute to the development of the state.
