Haflong Government College

Haflong Government College completed its 51st year of glorious existence on the 4th of September 2012. This college was born through the vision of the illustrious sons of the soil like Late N.L. Daolagupu, backed by the unstinted support of the intelligentsia of that time like Sonaram Thaosen, J.B Hagjer, Surath Chandra Daulagupu, Hironmoy Das Barman, G.C. Langthasa, P.C. Langthasa, D. Hojai, P.K. Gorlosa, V. Hmar, Nishikanta Daulagupu, Yusuf Khan and B. Chakraborty. The dream and vision of the pioneers became a reality with the establishment of this college on the 4th of September, 1961 and thus a new chapter was added to the annals of this hilly district. Since its inception this premier institution took up cudgels to articulate the aspirations of the ethnic societies of the district. This college was started as a private night college with 17 students on its roll in the Pre-university Arts classes at the Cultural Institute Hall. Later on it was shifted to its present site in 1964. In course of time, the college was converted to a day- college retaining the night section as an additional shift. During later years Science and Commerce streams were added in 1969 and 1988 respectively. Moreover, under the patronage of Dima Hasao Autonomous Council Post Graduate courses in Political Science and History were introduced from 1997. This college can legitimately take credit for producing a large number of graduates over the years and enabling them to occupy high positions in the society as Doctors, Engineers, Magistrates, Administrators, Teachers and political leaders.
