Sonowal, therefore, thanked Education Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma for his leadership. Hailing the transparent process adopted in recruiting the teachers, Sonowal said that the procedure adopted for the appointment is the reflection to merits of the teachers. The Chief Minister said that the newly appointed teachers must shoulder the responsibility to develop the youth as quality human resource who could shine in the global job market.
