AMU Centre Kishanganj: Few of my dreams I would like to share with you all if this centre become a reality:
1. Kishanganj will be an educational hub in the east.
2. This centre will bring Kishanganj and Seemamnchal on the world map.
3. ECONOMY will boost up.
4. Even the poorest of poor will get access to high quality education irrespective of religion, caste and creed.
5. I can bet in next two decades, there will be more than 90% literacy rate in the entire area and neighbouring area of West Bengal.
6. The presence of minotities and other backward classes in Civil Services and other sectors will be satisfactory which is null at the bottom at this moment.
7. Minorities will get a chance to join the mainstream.
8. Literacy rate among women will be very high.
9. School drop out will be evry less. The school drops out in the area is more than 95%.
10. This centre will attract students from across the country and neighoubring Nepal, Bangladesh and Bhutan because of low living cost.
11. There will be a drastic change in the socio-economic status of the entire seemanchal.
12. We will have state of the art Engineering, Medical and Management Schools within the campus which is negligible at the moment and it seems a distant dream.
13. Bio-diversity of the area will provide excellent oppurtunity to the researchers.
14. Seemanchal till now is the most peaceful region in the entire country, this will of course provide lots of fodder to the social science students/researchers to explore and they can present this model to the world to follow.
15. Political Scenerio will change in the coming decade. Politics will never be the same in entire Seemanchal. Educated class will join politics.
