Assam Drops Ayodhya, Emergency, 1984 & 2002 Riots From Class 12 Syllabus
The Assam Higher Secondary Education Council dropped some sections from the grade 12 state board syllabus owing to COVID-19 guidelines for 30% relaxation. This includes topics like Ayodhya, Mandal Commission, 1984 and 2002 riots and History of Congress, among others. AHSEC said that the motive behind dropping the topics is to reduce the exam stress on students. The decision was after consulting with a wide range of teachers and subject heads.
