About

Golaghat Purbanchalik College was established in 1987 at Hatiyekhowa, a rural place of Golaghat District. A few social workers actively pursued the idea of establishing a College at the centre of this area to serve the purpose of higher education since the year 1974. The first public meeting was arranged at Molia Gaon L P School comprising a group of people from Dhekial Mauza, Gurjogonia Mauza, Kakodonga Mauza and Dakhingera Mauza on 21^st December,1974.Let Tulsi Nath Borgohain then the Headmaster of Dhekial High School was the president of that public meeting. After a few meetings held consecutively in different places of the locality on this occasion, the decision was taken and proposed the name of the college as ‘Golaghat Purbanchalik College’. The ideal location was selected in the grazing land of Gurjogonia  Mauza near Hatiyekhowa Chariali (crossroads) with a view to spread higher education of humanities among the masses. The foundation stone was laid on 15^th September 1987, and the Governing Body was formed for administering the college. Many people took part in the inaugural ceremony on that day. B.A. classes were started in the same year.

Since then, the college has been marching along with time and able to meet the aspirations over the years of the people of the locality, the district as well as the state of Assam. It has been playing a key role in socio-economic development of the society. Now, it becomes a foremost institution of the state providing an excellent opportunity to interact among students coming from different places irrespective of ethnic groups and linguistic background. To prepare for the students to cope up with the challenges of modern society and to inculcate them with the spirit of leadership in different avenues have all along been the guiding principles of the college. Over the years, the college has been maintaining a fairly good record of performance in University Examinations. The products of the college are now holding many responsible positions of the society.
