Mr. Rajib, Kindly enquire the number of the person mentioned by you in the office of department of the mentioned subject. You will find the office telephone number in the Tezpur University website, www.tezu.ernet.in ---that's the only way I can suggest. Some of us may know some people, but this public forum is no place to put up contact numbers.

Right said M KALKITA. Some news piece by assam tribune. http://assamtribune.com/scripts/details.asp?id=aug2109/at02 AASU did provide their basic demands.Its true that one project cannot take all of the unemplyment from the state. Also ,100% may not be a justified demand but i think 80% : 20% percent is justified one. It very important that brilliant students be at top because else the project may go hayway and this will again prevent the feasible futuristic employment.
