  MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL

Rangapara College has been a premier centre of learning of rural Assam. Since its inception in the year 1979, Rangapara College is striding ahead in its mission of disseminating higher education among the economically and socially disadvantaged rural students of the state. Spreading in a sprawling and green campus of 40.33 acres, the College is now equipped with futuristic infrastructure for holistic development of the students. Since my joining in the College in 2018 , I am trying my best to fit up the College with the best resources so that our students can make themselves apt in the national as well as global scenario. Science stream was introduced from the academic session 2020-21. We offer Honours & Regular Courses in all the core subjects from the Science, Arts and Commerce streams. Besides, PG course in Hindi is being launched from the Academic session 2020-21. The teaching-learning programmes are marked with personal mentoring; students are encouraged to work in teams and learn from peers. The primary goal of our Institution is to provide a high quality academic environment and constantly motivate our students to become socially committed citizens. The College has an excellent infrastructure with well equipped science laboratories, digital library, gymnasium hall, indoor sports complex, spacious auditorium, canteen, college mart, conference hall, seminar hall with all modern amenities. The college is well protected with security guards and CCTVs are installed at all strategic outdoor locations on the college campus. The College offers well furnished, affordable hostel facilities to both girls and boys for the outstation students within the College Campus.

At present higher education stands at a transitional juncture. New Education Policy is going to be implemented recently. Institutions of higher education are keenly awaiting for the implementation of the new policy. In such a point of time I welcome the students to this institution with the anticipation that we shall be able to provide education to make them acceptable to the contemporary world.

However, currently, the Covid-19 pandemic has altered our perception of reality and confined our students to the four walls of their home. Despite such unprecedented times, we have continued our journey of imparting education to our students by conducting regular online classes, interactive sessions, tutorials and video lectures. In order to keep the students engaged the college has also organized several national, international webinars and web based workshops. I am confident that humanity will overcome these challenging times and our students will seize the opportunity provided by this stimulating environment to enrich them and build a better future. I welcome all the students and extend my good wishes to them and pledge to give our best to fulfill their dreams.
