Guwahati: The
Assam government on Tuesday introduced two bills in the Assembly to repeal The Assam Junior Colleges (Provincialisation) Act, 2012 and The

The bills were introduced by Parliamentary Affairs Minister
Chandra Mohan Patowary on behalf of Education Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.

On the other repealing Bill, the education minister said the Assam Secondary Education (Provincialisation) Act, 1977, has become useless after the government enacted the Assam Education (
Provincialisation of Services of Teachers and Re-Organisation of Educational Institutions) Act, 2017.
