The Assam government has taken steps to put the premier educational institution, the Cotton College, on the global education map.

State education minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said as a first step, a delegation from Columbia University recently visited the college and discussed with authorities the ways to explore this possibility.

The first round of meeting with the team which was headed by the director of Earth Institute of the Univeristy was held in the college premises recently in which a decision was taken to form a core group to carry forward the process.

Columbia university has tie-ups with a few leading educational institutions of the country including the JJ college of Architecture and Birla Institute of Technology.

The university has also set up seven global schools including one in Mumbai.
