Diphu Goverment College

Diphu Govt. College was established in 1964 with the main aim of providing Higher Education in the backward Karbi Anglong District of Assam. Distinguished local leaders of that time like Chatra Sing Teron, Chandra Sing Teron, Dhaniram Rongpi, Jogendra Nath Goswami, Joy Sing Doloi, Sar Rongpi(who are no more now) and Sri P.K.Baruah were among its founders. The College did not have a building of its own. When the academic session started from July1965, classes were held in the evening at Diphu Govt. Boys? High School. Professor P.K. Bhuyan was the first Principal of the College. Thus began a new venture in the field of Higher Education. Running a venture College was not an easy task. Fund became a paramount factor for the management. This made the leaders thinks of other ways and means to save the institution. It was then that Govt. of Assam was approached. In the year 1967, it was taken over by the Govt. of Assam and since then the College has never looked back. Within a few years, the College got its own building, which provides accommodation for classrooms, office room, departmental staff rooms, auditorium, library, etc. Besides, there are two Girls? Hostels and one Boys? Hostel. There are again 23 quarters for teachers and 6 quarters for non-teaching staff. Over the years, the College made much progress in infrastructural development out of grants received from sources like the UGC, Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council, Govt. of India, Govt. of Assam and MPLAD Fund.
