Teok:
Chandra Kamal Bezbaruah College of Teok in Assam is just like any other college
across the state or the country. But it is also different from the other
colleges. It is not just teaching Physics, Chemistry, English, and other
subjects like any other college. It is also teaching its students to till the
land and maintain a pig or a cattle farm.
The college has been pursuing these different courses
since 2016.
The college has been providing practical training to
the students who are interested in agricultural work by raising fish, ducks,
pigs, goats, cattle, and calligraphy, on the college campus. It also has a pig
farm and plantations.
The principal of the college said," We have taken an
initiative for the development of the college, and for that, we have introduced
many programs so that students of this college learn vocational education as
well along with academic education. Our primary aim is making them self-reliant
after they pass out."
"There are 105 bighas of land around the college
campus and depending on this land we have taken this initiative. We have three
fisheries, over 50 goats, and 50 pigs. We have introduced more than 6 diploma
courses such are Electrician, Beautician and skincare, Retail management, DTP,
Horticulture, etc. Last year we have
earned more than 1 lakh from the fisheries, and around 1.5 lakh from the pig
farm. We hope in future we could earn enough revenue from this which would help
in the development of the college as well as students." A professor of the
college said.
