DIBRUGARH, June 10: In a significant step towards encouraging academic excellence and nurturing future civil services aspirants, the Jyoti Lalita Kanoi Foundation has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Dibru College to establish Perpetual Cash Awards and Citations for meritorious students.
The initiative comes amid growing concern over the declining number of successful candidates from the region in the UPSC Civil Services Examination. This year, only three candidates from the region qualified for the prestigious examination, compared to seven qualifiers in the previous year.
