The Sonitpur District All Rabha Students’ Union (ARSU) committee in collaboration with Rabha Community Education Cell/ARSU organized a career awareness programme for the students appearing matric and Higher Secondary on May 28 at Rakshashmari ME School, Dhekiajuli, Sonitpur. The programme was led by Ranjan K Baruah, Director, North East Youth Foundation, Guwahati and covered several important points regarding selection of subjects after matriculation and the career path ahead. He dealt with certain career options available for students of Arts, Science and Commerce streams. In addition to academic careers, he also talked about entrepreneurship, administrative services, and jobs in corporate sectors including the skills required for those careers. Further, he emphasised on developing self-confidence and positive mindset before or during the pursuit of a specific career. Mr. Baruah also encouraged the youth who are sitting idle after graduation to go for some skill oriented training/courses based on their interests and potential skill.
The session was very lively and full of interaction. The students were very curious to know about the various career options available at different level from the three streams mentioned above. Even the parents present in the session asked questions relating to various career options. It was really inspiring and motivating for the counsellor and the organizers.
It must be mentioned that the All Rabha Students’ Union has announced 2017 as the “year of education “and formed a cell called Rabha CommunityEducation Cell (RCEC) to exclusively work in the field of education for creating awareness among the community about the importance of education and to help the meritorious and potential students to boost up for a bright career in future by providing them with necessary information and guidance. Among the agendas for the whole year, this career awareness programme is one of them.
The Programme was attended by Subhash Rabha, Education Secretary and chief-coordinator of RCEC; Dinamoni Rabha, Coordinator of RCEC and Shusen Rabha; Arun Rabha, former Finance Secretary, ARSU and Shusen Rabha member, RCEC; and the organizer Bikash Rabha, and Amiya Kumar Rabha, President and General Secretary Sonitpur District ARSU and Education secretary Utpal Rabha.

IIT Roorkee, in collaboration with astronomers from India, Japan, and Europe, has made a significant breakthrough in the study of gravitational waves. An international team of astronomers has recently published their findings in the Astronomy and Astrophysics journal, providing evidence of ultra-low frequency gravitational waves and shedding light on the humming of our universe.
Using some of the world's most sensitive radio telescopes, including India's largest telescope, uGMRT, the team monitored pulsars, which are rapidly rotating neutron stars, to detect these waves. The pulsars, acting as cosmic clocks, emitted radio beams that were analyzed for changes in arrival times caused by...

The TMC Assam unit has opposed the draft delimitation proposal published by the Election Commission of India (ECI) on Tuesday evening. The proposal is prepared based on the 2001 census, which the TMC claims is not correct as there has been a change in the population pattern in the state. Assam TMC chief Ripun Bora has alleged that the ECI is following the dictates of the BJP party and that the delimitation process on such short notice reflects the assurance of electoral gains through voter division. Bora also stated that the delimitation cannot be accepted without the completion of proper NRC and that TMC has been demanding delimitation on the latest census. The TMC has rejected the draft...
We are deeply concerned about the continuing ethnic violence in Manipur between the Meitei community and the tribal Kuki and Zo communities. We demand an immediate halt to this violence that is causing large scale disruption of lives, livelihoods and properties and unleashing even more terror among people.
The immediate trigger to this violence was an April 2023 Manipur High Court order advising the state government to grant the Meitei community (members of which now have either OBC or in some cases SC status) the status of Scheduled Tribe. Thereby, the Meitei community would have access to land that is currently reserved for tribal communities. Several spates of violence broke...
Assam TMC chief Ripun Bora on Thursday in a couple of tweets expressed his angst for the inaction of the Central Government in not taking any steps to investigate into the alleged links between Assam CM Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma and BJP leader Ram Madhav with terrorist outfit. In a tweet, Bora questions the credibility of the Government of India as it has been using central agencies like CBI & ED against opposition leaders all the time. Then why is GOI silent on the allegations of Assam CM Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma being involved with Kuki militants in the Manipur election in 2017? Bora demanded a NIA probe into the allegations and arrest of Sarma under NSA Act. Meanwhile, he also stated...
