The Department of History in the BhawanipurAnchalik  College, Bhawanipur, Barpeta, Assam was introduced in the Year 1987 and honors course was opened at degree level from the session 1995-96.Started with just one part time lecturer in the shape of Late Sarbananda Choudhury, who was then a lecturer of B.H.B. College, Sarupeta. We, the faculty members of the Department of History are indebted to him and therefore in this opportunity we would like to offer our heartfelt homage to this demised person.  Afterwards some regular teachers were being appointed gradually.

                       As a prominent subject of humanities, History always plays an important role in the intellectual improvement of human nation. Thus, the Department of History, B.A. College has also been playing an active & important role in the academic up-liftmen of this institution as well as the intellectual improvement of a section of the society. Some students having History subject both as Major & General have successfully completed Degree Programme. Many of them are now well-established in the society.

                       Presently we have three regular and one part-time faculty members in the Department of History, who have been extending their all co-operation and service for the development of the college.

                      Although we have an intense desire in supporting something through the faculty of History for all round development of the college, but certain weaknesses like-

  • Lack of brilliant students in the entry level.
  • Growing disinterest among some students in pursuing studies in social science, specially History.
  • Exclusion of the subject from the list of core subjects in school level curriculum leading to the steady decline in enrollment at the college level, always stand as a great bar.
