Biswanath College

One of the premier higher education institutions in Assam, Biswanath College has come a long way since its establishment on 7th September in 1960 on the north bank of the river Brahmaputra. The College was the brainchild of the socially conscious benevolent people of Biswanath Chariali with indomitable thirst for knowledge and strong desire to educate the masses of the locality at a time when Biswanath Chariali was considered to be an interior part of Assam. Away from Guwahati by around 254 km, it is now headquarter of newly created Biswanath district. The people of the locality then firmly believed that education is the movement from darkness to light. The logo and the motto line, तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय (lead us from darkness to light), of the college capture the essence of enlightenment which is the avowed objective of the College. The motto line is taken from Brihadaranyaka Upanishad. The emblem of the college depicts a glowing sun in the innermost circle which symbolises the college’s march towards enlightenment.
