Ranoj Pegu, Education Minister of Assam, told from April 24 to April 30, we will have the School Profile Updation Week, wherein all information about schools will be uploaded to the Siksha Setu Asom Portal.

The profiles of the schools will consist of school category, school address, management, school management committee (SMC) contact details, Contact details of school Head Master, SMC contact details, land details, details about the nearest institution, Parliamentary Constituency, Legislative Assembly, and GPS location with pictures.
