Bajali College

History

Bajali College was established at Pathsala as a co-educational institution on 16 August 1955. Bajali is the name of a civil sub-division bearing a semi-urban feature with its headquarters at Pathsala under the Barpeta district of Assam. The area has an age old reputation for its cultural and socioeconomic factors. Its farmer populace was deprived of higher education until then and there was no institution of higher learning in the entire Bajali area. Youths aspiring to higher education had to leave the area. Most of them were from agriculture-based families who were economically handicapped. A group of enterprising social workers of Bajali founded Bajali College, under the leadership of the late Kameswar Das, a gold medalist in M.Sc (Mathematics) from Calcutta University, the first chairman of Assam Public Service Commission and an illustrious son of Bajali,.
