Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma on Thursday promised that the BJP government in the state will take the responsibility of educating girl students up to the postgraduate level, and families with a ration card will receive life insurance paid for by the government.

Currently, all girls who pass the class 10 examinations are given a cycle or a scooter, but from this year, an amount of Rs 10,000 will be deposited for two years in their bank accounts while they are studying for the class 12 board examinations, the CM said.
