Department Of History

About the Department

The department of History was founded in 1963 i.e. on the same year of the foundation of Dibru College by late Nandalal Borgohain followed by two teachers Mrs. Amala Barua and Mrs. Hiranmoyee Devi. In 1967-1968 Honours Courses were introduced.

Since then, the department has been trying to enlighten the students by taking them to historical sites, arranging lectures by inviting scholars and also by guest faculties of various departments of our college and also neighbouring colleges so that the horizons of their knowledge can be broadened. Apart from these, the students are encouraged to involve in other activities of the department and college as well.
