The University has territorial jurisdiction across the entire State of Assam as per its Act. The University has already submitted another qualification on Geriatric Care for NCVET recognition. It plans to scale up skill development initiatives in renewable energy to create a trained workforce capable of installing and maintaining solar energy plants across the region, thereby supplementing government efforts in augmenting green energy potential in the North East.
