Abhayapuri College

ABOUT

Overview

Abhayapuri College, located in the heart of Abhayapuri Town, the headquarters of North Salmara Sub-division, is one of the oldest colleges in Assam. It came into existence on 13th August ,1955 as a result of the untiring efforts of some luminaries of this locality under the able leadership of Late Govinda Chandra Dev Sarma for their zeal for a higher educational institution in the administrative headquarters of the erstwhile Bijni Raj Estate. The people of Abhayapuri, Srijangram, Jogihopa, North Salmara, Bijni, Bongaigaon, Lengtisinga, Chakla, Kokila and other adjoining areas, although were not economically sound, contributed liberally in cash and kind to translate the dream of a college for their posterity into a reality. The name Abhayapuri itself came after the name of Ranee Abhayeswari, the Queen of the Bijni Raj Estate. Abhayapuri, surrounded by isolated hillocks, is a small town and called "Devadaru Nagaree" because of the scenic beauty of the Deodar trees standing majestically on both the sides of the main road.
