Pramathesh Barua College, Dhubri

Pramathesh Barua College (P. B. College), Gauripur began its tryst with destiny on the 1st day of June 1964 to put forward the intellectual and cultural ethos of Gauripur in the erstwhile Goalpara District of Western Assam. Named after the proud son of Gauripur, Rajkumar Pramathesh Chandra Barua, this institution of Higher Education took its strides with luminaries like Prof. AlokeshCh. Barua, Dr.Birendranath Dutta and galloped to prosperity under such academic administrators as Dr. Krishna Kanta Bora, Prof. Jayanta Kumar Chakraborty, Prof Gajanan Prasad Kanu and Prof. Ganga Sankar Pandey. The College initially started with the support of the people of the region and financial assistance from the Zamindar family of Gauripur. This co-educational institution of higher education was subsequently taken over by the Govt. of Assam under deficit grant-in-aid system in 1969. It got permanent affiliation by the Gauhati University and was recognized under section 2 (f) and 12 (B) of the UGC Act 1956.
