The significance of the word 'NABAJYOTI' is 'NEW
LIGHT' or 'NEW KNOWLEDGE'. The idea of establishing a college
in Kalgachia was first imbibed by Mr. Romeez Uddin Ahmed, M.A, a
prominent educationist hailing from Hazipara
(Howly) who celebrated a feast as a mark of funeral rituals (KHARACH) in
memory of his grand mother at
Kalgachia wherein he disclosed his idea to a huge public
gathering invited to the feast in 1966. Thus the people of
Kalgachia , particularly the educative social workers , had the
opportunity to dream 'A dream of a college' at
Kalgachia.
And the worthy sons of the soil like Md. Mozammel Hussain , M.A.L.L.B.,Ex-Founder
Secy. and In-Charge Principal , Late Abdul Kader Babu, Abdul
Kaddus Dewani, Iman Ali Mandal, Yasin Ali Mandal, Muzzafar Ali
Bhuyan, Kudrat Ullah Talukdar, Abdul Hamid Dewan, Alhaj Intaj

Kader, Shahab Uddin Sarkar and many other educated social
workers , well-wishers jointly took a decision to launch a
mission of establishing a college here at Kalgachia with an
objective of arranging and ensuring higher education for their
prosperity.
This 'Mission' gave birth
to a college in the year 1971; while Marhum Ataur Rahman , the
local M.L.A , a scholar and a mini-
-ster of Assam gave a meaningful name to it - 'NABAJYOTI
