The need for a dedicated institution of higher education exclusively for women in the central Assam region was felt during the late 1950’s. In order to fill that void, several eminent personalities and educationists came together to establish the ’Nowgong Women’s College’ in 1959. Dr.
Lalit Kr. Baruah was the founder secretary and Professor Nirmal Chandra Samaddar of Nowgong College served as the acting Principal of the institution. However, owing to the demise of Dr.
Lalit Kr. Baruah in June, 1960 the institution ceased to exist. However, the spark of opening a women’s college was still in the heart of many people and accordingly in June 1962 a formal discussion to establish such an institution was held in the Office of the Deputy Commissioner of Nowgong.
In this meeting a Steering Committee was formed for the said purpose. On 8th July 1962 some members of the Steering Committee met the then Education Minister of Assam Debakanta Baruah for establishing a women’s college in Nowgong. The first meeting of the Steering Committee was held on 11th July 1962 in the Deputy Commissioner’s office, chaired by the then Deputy Commissioner of Nowgong Satish Jivan Das, IAS.
D. Sarma, Chandra Kanta Sarma, Md. Samsul Huda, Md.
C. Barman and Kamal Chandra Majumdar were present in the meeting. The Committee decided to start Pre-University and Degree courses simultaneously in the College.
The Committee decided to name the college as Nowgong Women’s College.
