Ratnapith College was started on the first September, 1978.
It was called Chapar Bahalpur College in its
inception.After one year, the name was changed to Ratnapith College to signify a wider concept and some emotional
values.Ratnapith was the name of one of for divisions of the ancient kingdom of Kamrup. The site of the College
is
with him
ancient Ratnapith which had a glorious past and rich heritage. The College has renamed after it to
associate
itself with
its past glory. The College is situated at Bahalpur, Nathpara under Chapar Circle of Dhubri District.
The College has been imparting education in the Three year Degree Course and Correspondence Courses
through
Institute of
Distance and Open Learning (IDOL), GU and Krishna Kanta Handique State Open University (KKHSOU).

The College was affiliated to Gauhati University in the Year 1983-84. It is now included in 2(f) and
12(B)

Act, 1956. Besides the General Courses of studies as prescribed by Gauhati University, the College has
ventured to
introduce certain Practical Courses mentioned above for its students of acquisition of the idea of
self-reliance,
self-employment and self-confidence.
Great efforts have been made to prepare the students and national assets fit to contribute to the
prosperity
of the
country. It is made to reverse the present trend towards white collar employment. The trend has been a
growing burden
and liability. In the crisis of confidence and on the erosion of values we venture to turn to Gandhiji’s
line of
construction programmes.
The College has made rapid progress in the vast areas covering 73 Bighas of land consisting of adequate
Class Room,
Administrative Buildings, Teacher’s Common Room, Girls Common Room, Students Union Hall, Library,

Baruah
termed it)
While singing the College Song, the students are pledged to bringing light out of darkness and knowing
and
unknown. The
symbol in the flag carries the massage of morality DAM, DAYA, DAN. The motto summarizes the objects of
the
College in to
the wards “Learning itself is achievement in life”.
