Today, education is considered as an important factor in the process of development, advancement in education status is considered as an important development itself.North Eastern Region is educationally one of the least developed regions of India. The literacy rate of the region is less than the national average. Although development in education system has taken place in the region but it shows more of quantitative rather than qualitative. Tezpur is one of the most important, growing and peaceful city of Assam. Due to lack of quality Higher secondary school in the entire Northern assam there is need for a good quality school at Tezpur which can give quality education to children from econonically backward section at affordable cost.
