Institutional Distinctiveness :
Cachar College was set up in 1960 with a defined socio-economic objective. It was the time when the victims of the unfortunate partition from across East Pakistan were yet to come to terms with the loss of leaving home and hearth. These families in a huge number had been evicted from their own land and they found it difficult to financially settle in the first generation. Cachar College was conceptualized as a destination of higher education for the students from these refugee families.
Hence due to the phenomenal growth of population in the town of Silchar and its vicinity, partly because of large scale inflow of migrants from the East Pakistan, now Bangladesh, there was a tremendous rush of students seeking higher education.
Right from the beginning, the builders of this institution resolved that Cachar College would never run after elitist identity. The College management down the years has always strived to reach out to the most deprived sections of the society in imparting higher education. Catering to the demand for higher education from the socially and economically disadvantaged strata of the society located over a large and diverse geographical jurisdiction has been always high on agenda for the College.
