Its remarkable in the sense that Udalguri has been the worst affected new district with at least 10 bandhs every months;extortion;killing etc.Politics has destroyed the academic career of the students and youths.Fortunately a few students have shown excellence despite all the odds.Last year Udalguri students presented 115 projects in the NCSC (second in the state behind Lakhimpur)Thanks to the district administration army and police for their helping their helping hands.Former DC,Udalguri SS Meenakshi Sundaram IAS and present DC,Udalguri Thaneswar Malakar deserve loud applause
