Further, while informing that a Government College is to be started in the District from the coming Academic Calendar, he said that as the permanent structure shall take time to come up, a temporary location/building needs to be explored to house the Institution. He suggested that Govt. HQ Primary School, Tawang and Ground Floor of the Rostrum within the Stadium may be considered for the same. College has been one of the long term demand of the area as the district is yet to have one of its own and youths of the district has to move out to pursue further studies after passing Higher Secondary level. Bomdila College in West Kameng has been the nearest option for those seeking admission in college.
