The need of an institution for higher education at Hojai
was in fact, felt during early 1960's. The pioneers of
this noble task of establishing a college at Hojai, once
the granary of Assam, had to face insurmountable hurdles
on several fronts: It was but for the relentless and
untiring efforts of a band of dedicated workers and the
patronisation of all concerned that this Alma Mater
could come into being in 1964 with only 126 students in
PU. (Arts). Since its inception this college has been
guided by the concepts of excellence in academic and
co-curricular aspects of students' life under the able
guidance of a host of dedicated teachers. The college
enjoys the reputation of being a truly cosmopolitan
institution of learning. During the span of 36 years
this institution promoted the cause of higher collegiate
education with meritorious service to the society and
despite the fact that it is still fed by the students of
average merit. It has to its credit a good number of
meritorious students who could ultimately prove their
worth in different spheres of their professional career
particularly in both Central and Civil Services. The
growth of an institution is a matter of gradualism, and
it is through this process that the college could, by
now, rise to the height of having about 1500 students
with instructional facilities in all the three faculties
viz. Arts. Science and Commerce. The college caters to
the need of higher education not only ofthe
south-eastern part of Nagaon, but of adjoining tribal
areas of Karbi Anglong District also. It is a
Provincialised College now.
