Provincialisation Management System (PMS) Portal

  • 19 Feb 2026

On 18th February 2026, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma launched the Provincialisation Management System (PMS) portal at Lok Sewa Bhawan to address the long-pending issue of provincialisation of venture educational institutions.

  • The portal will streamline, monitor and process applications from non-provincialised venture schools and colleges and their teaching and non-teaching staff.
  • It operates under the Assam Education (Provincialisation of Services of Teachers and Re-Organisation of Educational Institutions) Act, 2017, as amended in 2025.
  • The PMS portal creates a centralised database of venture institutions and staff, aiming to enhance transparency and reduce irregularities.
  • This marks the third and most comprehensive phase of provincialisation, covering LP, UP/ME, high schools, higher secondary schools and degree colleges.
  • Over 50,000 teachers have been provincialised in phases since 2011.
  • Institutions established before 1 January 2006 are eligible, subject to submission of recognition, land documents, academic performance and staff credentials.
