Tihu College

ABOUT

Overview

Tihu College has been one of the premier institutions of higher education in Assam. Having trodden 56 odd years of spreading illumination in society, the college has celebrated its Golden Jubilee in March, 2013 last. Tihu College was established on a very auspicious day, July 04,1963, fulfilling the dream of acquiring quality higher education for the people, inculcated by a group of illustrious personalities with support from the rural masses of greater Tihu area. Under the dynamic leadership with relentless and untiring efforts of Late Sailendra Prasad Medhi, the founder Principal of the College, it grew into one of the premier rural institutions imparting education right from HS to TDC level. The College has come across a long way with more than five decades of eventful history behind it catering to the needs of the students opting for higher education in the greater Tihu, Namati, Baksa, Khetri and Dharmapur areas of Nalbari, Baksa and Barpeta districts of Assam. Even after the emergence of almost a dozen of colleges in the same hinterland, Tihu College still continues its rich intellectual heritage and academic ethos. Beginning with the Arts stream (in night shift) in the year of its inception, the College was first housed in the Tihu Gandhi Bhawan. It was affiliated to the Gauhati University in 1963 itself and subsequently shifted to the present site on 15th of August, 1966 and was brought under Deficit grants-in-aid system by the Govt. of Assam in 1969. Since then the College has been showing the marks of progress in all respects to the satisfaction of the students and guardians along with the elite education-enthusiasts of this vast area. The serene beauty and eco-friendly campus of the College with calm green surroundings is conducive to the pursuit of academic activities.
