We have already had a number of discussions on 12345678901 12345678901 the regional, national, and global aspirations. 12345678901 how the system will run once the semesters come into a 12345678901 12345678901 12345678901 In sync with the fast moving times, colleges in Assam will convert reality. When the whole world has adopted the semester 12345678901 12345678901 12345678901 to a semester-based calendar. This is the year that the teaching system, then we should have no reasons to complain about 12345678901 12345678901 the same. The mindset has to be changed. A corporate 12345678901 fraternity in the colleges will come face to face with the much 12345678901 12345678901 attitude needs to be inculcated by one and all.

The fact that our institution has been identified as a 12345678901 the urban-rural spectrum, we have a responsibility to give it our 12345678901 12345678901 'College with Potential for Excellence' by the University Grants 12345678901 best. This is the system that will see a 'continuous evaluation 12345678901 Commission amongst so many colleges in the whole Nation 12345678901 12345678901 process' in action. The main problem here - as many colleges 12345678901 is in itself a matter of great pride. Obviously, records of our 12345678901 12345678901 across India have discovered - may be the number of students 12345678901 achievements both as individuals as well as that of our 12345678901 12345678901 in the classes. The impact of critical components of the 12345678901 students have helped our selection.

There are so many academic avenues 12345678901 12345678901 concerns regarding the validity of the semester system given associated with it, which I think we can utilize. 12345678901 12345678901 12345678901 the large number of students, diversity in student and teacher I also take this opportunity to thank those colleagues of mine 12345678901 12345678901 12345678901 profiles as well as infrastructure deficits at the college level. along with alumni members who rendered untiring and selfless 12345678901 12345678901 12345678901 These hurdles could play havoc with the quality of teaching service towards development of our College playground. 12345678901 12345678901 12345678901 under the new system. But there are bound to be teething I repeat what I penned in the last issue, "There are too many 12345678901 12345678901 threats and we cannot be complacent".

Can we expose ourselves to criticisms? 12345678901 and significant labour. The transition period will probably be 12345678901 Let us be positive. 12345678901 12345678901 frustrating at times. Semester conversion will place special burden 12345678901 May God bless all of us. 12345678901 12345678901 on everybody - staff, faculty and administration. More support in 12345678901 12345678901 12345678901 the form of manpower and resources will be required. While 12345678901 12345678901 12345678901 conversion could not possibly be pain-free, we have good 12345678901 (Ajit Chandra Talukdar) 12345678901 reason to expect that its challenges can be managed and 12345678901 12345678901 12345678901 minimised. 12345678901 12345678901 12345678901 12345678901 Crises are opportunities for positive changes.
