NEC sponsorship for 23 Northeast students
The Telegraph | Shillong, July 2:
These 23 students may hail from below poverty line families living in nondescript villages of the eight northeastern states. But they have cleared a competitive written examination and earned a seat in the picturesque Assam Rifles Public School, located at Laitkor, around 16 km from here.
Sponsored by the North Eastern Council to study in the school, these 23 students — three each from the Seven Sister states and two from Sikkim — have literally received a new lease of life.
Assam Rifles selected the students through its centres at Kohima, Imphal, Gangtok, Agartala, Aizawl, Lekhapani, Silchar and Guwahati where written tests were conducted.
Following the written tests, 23 students were selected to study in the school for the academic year (2011-12).
