The Assam government, led by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, is set to open 80 more model schools in tea garden areas. These initiatives aim to revolutionize the academic landscape through improved infrastructure, mid-day meal schemes for older students, and the use of smart classroom technology.

The Assam government is expanding its educational outreach, planning to open 80 additional model schools in tea garden areas as announced by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. This initiative aims to enhance educational opportunities, supported by smart classroom technology and mid-day meal schemes for students in classes 9 and 10.

Speaking to headmasters of current Model Schools and Adarsha Vidyalayas, Sarma emphasized quality improvements in education, with over 200 model schools planned across 800 tea estates. Following 118 established schools in November 2022, the progress incentivized the new expansions.
