Higher Education

The Higher Education is still a major challenge in North East India. This is largely due to the lack of governmental support and the absence of a culture of critical and creative thinking, skills which are often not adequately developed in high schools.
The institutions sponsored by the Purvanchal Pragati Samaj are reputed for their outstanding academic programs and the all-round formation they offer.

The Purvanchal Pragati Samaj sponsors three institutions of higher education in North East India.
