Hello, sir. I want to know that when will the chief minister awards will be distributed in karbi anglong district of assam. I have secured second division with 56 percentage. So please kindly do reply that when will notebook computer will given to karbi anglong’s students.
Mahidul & other eligible students,
We can understand how you guys are feeling. But here we want to clear that this site is merely publishing information for the benefit of users and we are in no way related to Govt of Assam. So, we are unable to do anything even though we want to. All we can hope that Govt will distribute the award to all eligible candidates in convenient time, through a convenient process.
Our suggestion to all – concentrate on your studies. No need to keeping checking the Internet. Govt has promised to award all eligible students (and already awarded few). So, rest of you will also get the award.
Yes mahidul you are right….
same 2 u mahidul…
Yes Sir this is right……!!!!
