Dispur,Rongili Barta: Hon’ble Vice Chairman of SITA, Shri Narayan Chandra Borkataky, undertook a series of field visits to review key developmental and educational initiatives supported by SITA. He visited Barbheta Gaon, Kaziranga, to review the progress of the ongoing project “Up scaling of Livelihood: Implementation through Smart Agriculture and Agri-Eco-Tourism” on September 9, 2025. This project aimed at enhancing rural livelihood opportunities through the integration of technology-driven agriculture and sustainable eco-tourism models, with a strong focus on community participation and long-term sustainability.
Later in the day, Hon’ble Vice Chairman Borkataky also visited JB College, Jorhat, to assess the progress of the Civil Services Study Centre, a project aimed at building a robust preparatory ecosystem for aspirants from Assam targeting the All India Civil Services Examinations. This Government-supported intervention is a step toward increasing Assam’s representation in national services. He engaged in a comprehensive discussion with Vice Chancellor Prof. Jyoti Prasad Saikia, Registrar Dr. Utpal Jyoti Mahanta and Prof. Kishore Goswami, Nodal Officer of the project. As part of his visit, the Hon’ble Vice Chairman also held an interactive session with students and faculty members of JB College. He encouraged civil services aspirants to make the most of the Centre’s resources and highlighted the government’s commitment to nurturing local talent through quality support and structured mentorship.
The Civil Services Study Centre is part of a strategic effort to create a supportive preparatory ecosystem that encourages and enables youth from Assam to successfully compete in All India Civil Services Examinations. Similar centres are already operational at GC College of Silchar, Darrang College of Tezpur and BN College of Dhubri.
These visits reflect SITA’s continuous commitment to innovation-driven development and institutional strengthening across Assam — from grassroots livelihood enhancement to academic empowerment.
