It gives me
immense pleasure to welcome you to the official website of Chilarai College.
Established in 1973, the college came into being as a result of the unwavering
support and steadfast determination of those noble personalities who had the
vision, dream and the commitment to set up an institution for higher education
in the remotest part of Western Assam. Named after the 16th Century’s greatest
warrior scholar Biswa Mahabir Chilarai of Koch Dynasty the college has emerged
as beacon of grass root empowerment and
a potential tool of social engineering among mostly the economically challenged
communities in the western region of Assam. Brought under the deficit
grant-in-aid system in the year 1987 and enlisted under UGC Act of 2(f) and
12(B) in the year 2001 the college has successfully completed its 2nd
cycle of NAAC Assessment and Accreditation in 2015 with Grade B . The college
celebrated Golden Jubilee in January 2024 with the spontaneous support from the
local communities, alumni and all stakeholders. The college being essentially a
rural college has a distinct eco friendly campus, and has scope for significant
expansion in future in terms of size, quantity and quality. From the academic
session 2023-2024, the college has
adopted FYUGP under NEP 2020 for
B,A,(Arts) & BBA at UG level. The college under the franchise of Gauhati
University Distance Learning programmes is offering courses at PG level in some
subjects. The has received approval for opening KK Handique Study Centre
recently where a good number of distance learning courses both at UG & PG
shall be offered from the session 2024-25. In addition to that the college has
received fund for introducing Science Stream and there is every possibility
that Science stream shall be introduced from the next academic session. This
will address the long cherished expectations of aspiring youths coming from
extremely economically backward society for Higher education in Science
subjects and will significantly contribute to the multidisciplinary course
structure of NEP 2020 as well. Since inception the college has been solid
platform for women empowerment and gender equality. The college has
consistently higher percentage of girls student enrolment and performance wise
they are doing extremely well in various walks of life. Another significant
addition to the college has been its allotment of additional 15 bighas of land
adjacent to the college existing campus of 6 bighas. The quest for excellence
and expansion is never ending process and sincere efforts from the dedicated
faculties, staffs, and other stake holders shall continue relentlessly to
achieve the desired target. Shortly the college is going to face the 3rd
Cycle of NAAC Assessment and Accreditation. I strongly hope the performance of the college shall be a turning
point for achieving the next level of benchmark in its pursuits of quality and
excellence . The motto of Chilarai College Logo: “ Bidyaya Tu Pramuchyate”
(Knowledge Liberates) that the College , shall forever , strive to spread and
materialize.
