Shimla, June 7 -- The Himachal Pradesh government is restructuring higher education by deciding to merge 10 government degree colleges with low student enrolment into colleges located at nearby district headquarters. The higher education department issued orders in this regard late on Friday evening. To ensure that students' education is not affected, the government also has a monthly stipend of Rs 5,000 for them. The colleges being merged include Tikkar, Bhalai, Kupvi, Sandhol, Mulyan, Jaisinghpur, Nanakhri, Ronhat, and Kotli Degree Colleges.
