The cabinet has also decided to centralise the recruitment of college principals and teachers by constituting the Assam College Service Recruitment Board. This, Pegu in a social media post said, will relieve the candidates applying for college principals and teachers from the hassle of applying to multiple colleges. The board seeks to provide a single window for recruitment. This will help avoid the selection of one candidate against multiple posts, he added.
