From the Desk of Principal

Bagadhar Brahma Kishan College, Jalah, was established on the 16th day of August 1978 with the relentless and untiring efforts of a band of social workers to push forward the intellectual energy of the people of the greater Jalah area towards a blueprint for the future. Initially started with the financial and physical support of the ‘people of the region’, the co-educational college of higher education was subsequently taken over by the govt. Of Assam under the ‘deficit-grant-in-aid’ system in 1986.

It has also been accorded permanent affiliation by Gauhati University and recognized by UGC under 2(f) section 12(B) of the UGC Act in 1990. Later, the college was affiliated to Bodoland University, Kokrajhar. The academic excellence and efforts of the college have already been assessed by the NAAC, and it was accredited grade ‘B’ in 2005 and a grade ‘C’ in 2020. The college is located at Jalah under the Jalah development block in Chapaguri Mouza of Baksa district, (BTR) Assam. It owns a vast and sprawling campus amidst an enthralling and screen ambience. The meditative Himalayas in the northern horizon overlooks the college while Sankardev Sishu Vidya Niketan and a Srimanta Bhagabat mandir in front of the college decorated the spiritual atmosphere of the college. The river Kaldia murmurs majestically, encircling the northern, southern and western sides. The back of the college, surrounded by lush green plantations, hostels, and staff quarters, has a playground that caters to the needs of lovers of games and sports. 

The college, the only recognized institution of higher education in the northernmost region of Baksa district (BTR), imparts teaching in four-year undergraduate courses (FYUGP) in arts and science stream and PG courses in Assamese and Philosophy under Bodoland University, Kokrajhar. Braving social unrest, paucity of funds, lack of basic infrastructure and academic freedom, this institution has made out an identity of its own by sensitizing itself to new modes of teaching and learning experience, continuous academic progress and greater community participation. At present, the college has fifteen teaching departments at levels with a healthy 18:1 learner-teacher ratio. Read More
