The State Government has resolved to appoint regular principals for 25 government colleges following pressures from the students' and teachers' bodies.

The 25 principals to be appointed include seven for Scheduled Tribe, 14 for unreserved, three for OBC (Meetei) and one for OBC (Meetei Pangal) .
The Government's decision for appointment of regular principals is expected to give impetus to development of higher education sector in the State.
Moreover, the qualified teachers would now enjoy the exact pay scale of a principal, which was not the case earlier.
It may be noted that Education Minister M Okendro had repeatedly assured for appointment of regular college principals in several public functions.
