Established in 1964, Jogananda Deva Satradhikar Goswami (JDSG) College,
Bokakhat is one of the prominent institutions of higher learning in the district of Golaghat. It
is situated in a beautiful natural environment by the side of N.H. 37 and also in the close
vicinity of the Kaziranga National Park-the World Heritage Site. This institution of higher
learning has been playing a pivotal role in cultivating rural youths and in contributing
towards creating a good citizenry in the greater Bokakhat sub-district ever since its inception.
The College, recognized by the UGC under relevant sections of the UGC Act, is affiliated to
Dibrugarh University.
The college has been sincere and devout in its approach to contribute towards the
social, moral, economic, literary and cultural upliftment of the youths of the area as was
visualized by the founders of the college. The college imparts education in the undergraduate
programmes under Dibrugarh University in Arts and Commerce streams. These two streams
were brought under the then deficit system of grants in aid in the years 1975 and 1988

respectively. In 2005, like many other erstwhile deficit- grants-in-aid colleges of Assam, the
college was also declared provincialized under an Act passed in this regard by the
Government of Assam. Moreover, the post-graduate programmes in Assamese and
Commerce Department have also been introduced in 2022-23 session under Dibrugrah
University. The college provides a healthy meeting ground to students belonging to
different social categories that include SCs, STs, TGLs and OBC/MOBC and minority
communities. The institution emphasises on imparting quality education to our students
ensuring adequate learning resources.
