that with the rapid growth of private schools, junior colleges
and other such institutions outside the state results in the
exodus of these students to other states outside the North
East. Initiatives like this meet will help promote IT enabled
teaching and learning in this region of the country resulting
in NE region coming at par with the national level
institutions in the field of education.
The various participators in this meet have
appreciated this initiative of USTM. They have stated that
they have been benefitted by the various Technical sessions
and that such an initiative will help them guide the students
better in a situation where all the importance from government
goes to the degree colleges of the locality rather than the
junior colleges.
