Silchar College is situated in a rural setting largely inhabited by socially and economically backward classes including tea garden labourers. With the noble intention for making the doors of higher education open to students of the locality; some dedicated educationists, social workers and conscious public came up together, conducted meetings, raised funds and, finally, laid the foundation of Silchar College on 20th February, 1994. We are grateful to the descendants of Late Tilak Singha who along with the cooperation from the family of Late Mridanga Guru Surjyomani Singha donated the land on which the College stands today. The institution is also indebted to innumerable noble souls who were engaged in initial stage and extended their hands and minds to give this college a real shape.

The date 14th August 2013 is a historic day for the institution as on that day it got provincialised under provision 4 (1) of the Assam Venture Educational Institutions (Provincialization of Services) Act, 2011 as Amended in 2012 and 2013. Over the years, the institution kept growing across length and breadth. Our staffs took all challenges head on and with their indomitable courage, cooperation and dedication they worked for the all round upliftment of the institution.

Our endeavour is to produce efficient graduates equipped with suitable skills conducive to present day competitive society. We accept our inadequacies in some prominent areas, especially in the field of infrastructure but expansion and development works are still under process. The institution sincerely commits to uphold the spirit of dedication and to give many more years of glory to the society and the people.
