will start functioning this year in Assam, nine new nursing colleges will come
up in Dibrugarh, Sibasagar and Karimganj. The State Government will increase academic
infrastructure manifolds including building of several law colleges and BEd

new look to the high schools to modernise these by spending Rs 8 crore. The
construction of 200 high schools will begin in February. The government will gradually
change the infrastructure of 200 schools in Assam every year and build 500
schools immediately before 2026.

and education of tea workers’ children.
CCTV

public safety and deter criminal activities across Guwahati, CCTV cameras will
be installed throughout the city.
Hassle-Free
Issuance of Driving Licenses: To facilitate hassle
free experience while obtaining driving licenses, the need for physical visits
to government offices and bureaucratic hurdles will be eliminated so that citizens
can apply and receive these documents remotely. For this, power will be granted
to motor vehicle institutes and dealers to provide licences to people. This
will also make the process corruption free.
Fitness
Services: To make fitness a specialised job, Assam
State Transport Corporation or ASTC will start a fitness service or fitness
certified centre at ISBT in every district across the State. Here too, the
process of getting fitness certificate will be made hassle free by removing
bureaucratic hurdles.

into picturesque locations and improving its aesthetic appeal, the Transport
department will relocate old ships and ship garage out of sight, introduce new,
state-of-the-art vessels for leisure and tourism at the Bharalu area near
Shukleshwar Temple. Apart from this, it will make the area a vibrant terminal
for modern ships, attracting residents and tourists, who can enjoy at anytime
without fear.
PG
Diplomas In Driving: The Assam Government
will engage educational institutions such as Gauhati University and Royal
Global University to offer post-graduate diplomas in driving. This initiative
aims to streamline the licensing process and reduce dependence on government
officers for enforcement. Similarly, Motor Vehicle Training Institutes will be established
