Sapatgram College

Sapatgram College is the only institution of higher education in this highly backward area of western Assam. It was started at the initiative of some local people interested in dissemination of higher education in this economically backward area. The college came into existence as a result of the untiring efforts and sacrifices of some of the leading personalities of the area like Late Panchanan Badhuri, Late Panchanan Medhi, Late Indubhusan Bhadra, Late Sunilal Narzary, Sri Santosh Kumar Dutta, Sri Samar Kanti Poit, Mr. P.K. Das, Mr A. Bhaduri, Mr Pabitra Kr. Das, Sri Ranajit Saha, Md. Sirajuddin Ahmed and others. Initially the college functioned from the Kachari building of the Zamindar of Parbatjoar situated in Ward No. 1 of Sapatgram Town on the 7th August 1972. Later on, it was shifted to its present site. Then Late Lilananda Thakur (commonly known as Pagal Baba) donated a building along with 1 (one) bigha of land to the College which helped the college a lot in the initial period. The College is, at present, spread over an area of 25 (twenty five) bighas of land in the Sonamoyee Gaon Panchayat on the banks of the river Loska, allotted to the College by the Government of Assam.
