In addition, 15 women's residential degree colleges are to be established this academic year, and 17 more institutes from the next academic year, to cover all 33 districts.

To assist people in finding jobs, he instructed officials to transform study circles run by backward communities, and minorities into skill development training centres and advisory centres. He said, study circles should not confine to training students for only competitive examinations but also help them develop skills to secure jobs in various sectors.
