Sir,
You say that every student should get equal opportunity in Assam. The 2014 passed students got their awards in time, but the present year passed students get no information about this award.They are waiting for it.They are thinking that the Assam govt. will not distribute the awards..!! So, I kindly request to give their awards on very soon. Thanks.
