Bagadhar Brahma Kishan College (B.B. Kishan College) is located at Jalahghat in the newly formed district of Baksa under BTAD, Assam.

It was originally called Kishan College. In 1982, it was renamed to Bagadhar Brahma Kishan College after its benefactor who is an uneducated tribal social worker.

  • Bagadhar Brahma Kishan College (B.B. Kishan College) is located at Jalahghat in the newly formed district of Baksa under BTAD, Assam. It was founded following a public initiative in 1978 to provide higher education to the underprivileged boys and girls of the Jalah block, which is situated in the north-eastern corner of the Baksa district near the Bhutan border, and populated mostly by scheduled tribes and other native communities (+/- 92%). It was originally called Kishan College. In 1982, it was renamed to Bagadhar Brahma Kishan College after its benefactor who is an uneducated tribal social worker. Jalah is a low literacy neighborhood (1991: 40.34%, 2001: 54.45%), especially in female literacy (1991: 30.51%, 2001: 45.51%). The college, being the first of four in Assam, has aided the local yeomen. In 1979–1980, it began with the two year Associate of Arts program with permission from Gauhati University and subsequently concurrent support from the Government of Assam. It opened its Bachelor of Arts program in 1983 and 1984, adding Gauhati University's affiliation in 1986. In the same year, it also came under the Deficit Grants-in-Aid program of the Government of Assam and the 'Assam Aided College Management Rules, 1976', which was later superseded by the 'Assam Non-Government College Management Rules, 2001'. In 1990, it got University Grants Commission (UGC) recognition under Section 2f and 12B. The same year, it was permanently affiliated to Gauhati University. To this day, the mission of B.B. Kishan College is to provide access to education to the economically and educationally deprived sections of the society and women in particular, emphasizing social accountability and responsiveness to the multi-ethnic, multi-cultural and multi-lingual communities of its catchment. 'Help, serve, reflect and learn' is its motto. (en)
