“Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself”

Since its inception in 1959, Nandanath Saikia College has been at the forefront of delivering liberal education in both Science and Arts Streams across a wide range of disciplines and programmes.  It is a matter of immense pride that the college has been able to carve a niche of its own among the higher educational institutions of Assam.  In a long stint of more than six decades, it has reached the pinnacle of academic success and achievements attracting laurels and recognitions across the state.

 I feel very fortunate and humbled that I have secured the opportunity to adorn the Chair of Principal of this esteemed college at the most defining moment of its evolutionary history, especially at a moment when the college has just recently been accredited with a coveted A + Grade by the NAAC, India.  As the New Education Policy unfolds new opportunities and possibilities for educational institutions across the country, we as an academic fraternity are now faced with the enormous tasks and responsibilities of capitalising upon what we have today.  The time has come that we emerge as the forerunner of new academic endeavours and set new examples of success by combining the ethos of ethics, professionalism and sustainability which can cater to the diverse educational needs of the students and learners of the local community.   I do hope that all the existing and prospective stakeholders of the college will join hands with the administration and shall try to usher in collective zeal and endeavour which are necessary to contribute towards fulfilling the long-term goals of the native community and the nation.
