Assam rolls out Provincialisation Management System (PMS 1.0) portal and Guru Dakshina scheme

Exam-focused facts from the 22 February 2026 current affairs briefing.

Key facts

The Assam government launched the Provincialisation Management System (PMS 1.0) portal to streamline provincialisation of venture educational institutions under the Assam Education (Provincialisation of Services of Teachers and Re-Organisation of Educational Institutions) Act, 2017, as amended in 2025.
Institutions established before 2006 will be considered for provincialisation and must submit documentary proof through the portal.
The government will open around 75,000 teacher and lecturer vacancies this year, with UGC-qualified candidates assured fair opportunities.
The Guru Dakshina scheme provides one-time financial assistance to teachers who missed earlier provincialisation due to lack of certificates or eligibility issues, and they will receive preference marks in future recruitment.
