government is considering spending at least Rs 20,000 crore to renovate 2,000
government schools in the state.

Sarma stated during a
function in Kamrup district, "The state government will take steps to
revamp 2,000 vernacular medium schools across the state with a financial outlay
of Rs 10 crore for each school."

The state government has
constructed 18 'Adarsha Vidyalayas' under the CBSE curriculum, which would
provide English language instruction.

The
government also established 19 schools in the state's tea garden zones. These
schools were officially opened on Monday.

Sarma remarked that the
state government's effort to construct CBSE schools will help economically
disadvantaged students to study English in government schools.

"We are working very
hard to establish Adarsha Vidayalayas in each of the 126 Assembly
constituencies." "Construction on 55 schools has been completed, and
work on the remaining 71 is currently underway," he said.

According
to the Chief Minister, these Adarsha Vidyalayas will include smart classrooms,
science laboratories, computer labs, libraries, and other amenities.
Furthermore, these schools will be outfitted with 'Project Child,' which will
allow children to grow both mentally and physically.
