Lighting the river island with the beacon of education
Established on 17 September 1962, Majuli College is the premier institution of higher education in Majuli, the only island district of Assam. It was founded to connect the world’s most populous river island — geographically isolated and educationally backward in the early sixties — to the mainstream of the country through higher learning.
