The Assam government has drawn sharp criticism in the state over their decision to amalgamate schools that performed poorly in Class X examination. Although Assam education minister Ranoj Pegu clarified that these schools are not going to be shut but are being merged depending on enrolment, yet students have raised concerns as for them, these schools hold great emotional attachment, where they have studied for long.
