Samagra Shiksha Assam is the state implementing agency for the overarching national education mission that integrates the erstwhile Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA), and Teacher Education schemes. It operates under the Department of School Education, Government of Assam, to ensure inclusive, equitable, and quality school education from pre-primary to higher secondary levels.

The mission works across all districts of Assam, managing thousands of elementary and secondary schools. A central pillar of its mandate is the Inclusive Education component, which aims to identify, enroll, and support Children with Special Needs through specialized educational infrastructure, assistive devices, and dedicated resource personnel.

Personnel recruited under these posts are responsible for delivering specialized academic and rehabilitative assistance to Children with Special Needs (CWSN) across designated school clusters and resource centres in Assam. Their day-to-day duties involve identifying learning barriers, designing Individualized Education Plans (IEPs), and conducting home-based education for children with severe disabilities.

The role combines field assessments with administrative responsibilities. Resource personnel collaborate with regular school teachers to adapt curricula, organize teacher orientation workshops on inclusive pedagogies, and maintain records on student progress. They report to Block Resource Centre coordinators and District Programme Officers managing Inclusive Education.
