It was the 8th of August, 1955, Goalpara College came into existence with 6 lecturers and 22 students. With the unstinting support and guidance of Late Khagendra Nath Nath, the then M.L.A. of Goalpara and social activist, a group of sympathetic and enthusiastic people dedicated themselves to the cause of establishing a college on the south bank of the Brahmaputra and because of their relentless endeavour, ultimately, this undergraduate college was established in Goalpara town. With the cooperation and financial help of the generous people of the locality, soon there was a permanent structure of the college building to make it a full fledged institution of higher education of the district of Goalpara on the south bank of the Brahmaputra in 1959. It was brought under the deficit grant-in-aid system in 1962. When the college began to receive the deficit grants-in-aid from the government and got a little over the financial constraints, the same group of enthusiastic people undertook another bold venture of opening science faculty. As a result the science faculty was introduced in 1966 and was brought under the deficit grant-in-aid system in 1974.
