The higher education system is the most effective human resource development program and one of the best fastest growing education system in this earth. After independence the Government of India has giving importance to the academic development of the state. The students taking admission to the specified institution do not have to pay the admission and tuition fees under a government scheme. This scheme is known as fee waiver scheme. Fee waiver is generally given to students who demonstrate financial need. However, some school or college will allow any student to avoid paying the application fee if they meet certain requirements, such as making an official on-campus visit. For students, who request a fee waiver based on financial need, the exact requirements to qualify will depend on the waiver process the student is using. Some colleges have their own fee waiver application process. However, students can expect a fee waiver if they receive government assistance based on their participation in programs for low-income families. Fee waiver is nothing but a financial assistance to a student for his study who belongs to be declared as from economically weaker section of the society. The world community under the United Nations is very concerned about educational development and literacy. World Education Forum has fixed the Goal of Education For All in 1990 and in the year 2000 Dakar, Senegal conference of world education forum took a Framework for Action which re-affirmed their commitment for achieving ‘Education for All’ by the year 2015, and identified six key measurable education goals which aim to meet the learning needs of all children, youth and adults by 2015. The said six goals are -- Goal 1: To expand early childhood care and education Goal 2: To provide free and compulsory primary education for all Goal 3: To promote learning and life skills for young people and adults Goal 4: To increase adult literacy by 50 percent Goal 5: To achieve gender parity by 2005, gender equality by 2015 Goal 6: To improve the quality of education. UNESCO has been mandated to lead the movement and coordinate the international efforts to reach Education for All. Governments, development agencies, civil societies, non-government organizations etc. are working towards reaching these goals. India as a participant, agreed on the UNESCO's role and takes the overall responsibility of coordinating in the attempts to achieve these goals and show the Collective Commitment to implement the principles of Dakar conference. In the meantime, India declared right to Education as fundamental rights. The Central and Some State governments of India has initiated the implementations of must educational Development. In this perception the various governments have accentuated in action of World Education Forum’s goals mainly to promote learning and life skills for youths and adults without any difficulty. Such as- Promote learning and life skills for young people and adults Increase adult literacy by 50 percent Gender equality by 2015 Improve the quality of education. The government of Assam and Central Government has taken the policy for achievements of learning and life skills for young people and improve the quality of education along with gender equality. Government pay interest for women empowerment in the state, especially for women education Centre’s in Colleges and Universities are established in different areas. We are expecting more and hoping for the best in our normal life. Economy is our basic energy for mobility and technology is always streaming our system to go for the development. Economic barrier is impediment arising from economic factors and chasing difficulty or constraint to enhancing individual as well as social welfare. Economic barrier is ghastly effecting the higher education specially college education in rural and urban both. Economic barrier leads to despoiled the efficiency of individual and create obstacle to use of individual and social resources as well human resources. If we can overcome our economic barriers and obstacles than we may use our potentiality and credited to higher education, In case of Assam and rest of India, we have lots of human resources and potentiality to enact or participate in growth and development of society, so government argued to give fee waiver to student of different levels of institutions. Students have been receiving high benefits in education sector and institutions also get support from the governments and other sources. The Govt. of Assam has announced fee waiver for poor students to get admission in a government academic institution in Assam. The Govt. of Assam has declared fee waiver plan for students in the year 2016-17 and almost 1.38 Lakhs students got benefit from the schemes. The major relaxation of the schemes is fee waiver that the person with disability who is allowed for the schemes in all stages or level of incomes. The Major thought of the Scheme that no poor students will leftout from the government objects. Higher education is to be reachable for all. Most of the colleges followed the common fee waiver policy for applied weaker section of students. Assam is not only a single state in India, Hariyana is the first state to initiate the fee waiver programme to the students.
