Jogananda Deva Satradhikar Gowsami (JDSG) College, is situated in a beautiful natural ambience by the side of N.H. 37, in the close vicinity of the Kaziranga National Park-the world heritage site. Thus, keeping in view, the proximity to the Kaziranga National Park, the College has a study centre named Kaziranga Study Centre which provides resources and localized patronage for researchers, explorers, environmental activists and independent film makers, bird explorers etc. The student members of the study centre participate in various environment, nature and biodiversity related programmes like bird watching, nature walks, workshops, census like water bird, rhino, elephant, swamp deer, seminars, training on camera trapping, view finder, etc. They volunteer to help the authorities of the national park in animal rescue operations and dissemination of relief materials during calamities and extreme situations concomitant with natural disasters.

The Kaziranga Study Centre was created in the year 2017, and was inaugurated by the Forest Man of India Padma Shri Jadav Payeng on 17th February 2017. The primary objective of the Centre is creating awareness among people in general and students in particular, about the rich biodiversity of the greater Kaziranga area. As the scope of global climate change, human-caused habitat alterations, and associated extinction rates rise, the need to understand and conserve biodiversity and the ecosystem functions that it sustains has never been more pressing. Therefore, the Kaziranga Study Centre aims to coordinate efforts by the faculty and students of J.D.S.G. College, Bokakhat, and our professional affiliates at governmental agencies and non-governmental groups, to research, manage and conserve biodiversity. Some of the notable collaborations are with the Kaziranga National Park and Tiger Reserve, The Corbett Foundation, Aaranyak, Wildlife Trust of India, and World Wildlife Fund.
