Karmashree Hiteswar Saikia College

Karmashree Hiteswar Saikia College is one of the premier colleges located at Panjabari Road, Sixmile, Guwahati, Kamrup Metro District of Assam. With the shifting of the capital of Assam from Shillong to Dispur in 1973, the city of Guwahati witnessed tremendous growth of population and expansion. But the facilities for higher education still remained virtually limited as the existing colleges in the city failed to cater the need to accommodate a proportionately large number of students and as a result, many students found their doors closed to their aspirations of getting higher education.

The realization of this fact and the deep understanding of the situation convinced some prominent educationists and social activists about the prospects of founding a college in the South-Eastern part of the Guwahati city which is adjacent to the Assam-Meghalaya inter-state border. And subsequently, the college was established as City College in 19th September, 1988 at the O.B.C. Complex Dispur with the bold and zealous initiative of Late Tholok Gogoi, with the purpose of facilitating higher education for the downtrodden and the have-nots of the society. Late Tholok Gogoi, who was the founder secretary of the college, was the General Secretary of the All Assam Other Backward Classes Association, the Mantri of the The Assam Rastrabhasha Prachar Samiti and a devoted social worker all through his life.
