History
It was established on the 7th of September, 1960, on the north bank of the river Brahmaputra. The College was the brainchild of the people of Biswanath Chariali with a strong desire to educate the masses of the locality at a time when Biswanath Chariali was considered to be an interior part of Assam. Away from Guwahati by around 254 km, it is now the headquarters of the newly created Biswanath district. The logo and the motto line, तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय (lead us from darkness to light), of the college capture the essence of enlightenment which is the avowed objective of the College. The motto line is taken from Brihadaranyaka Upanishad. The emblem of the college depicts a glowing sun in the innermost circle which symbolises the college’s march towards enlightenment.
