Established in 1960 in the remote corner of Assam and at the foot of Arunachal Pradesh surrounded by Tea Gardens, Biswanath College emerges out to have been a potential education centre for higher education in the state.

Liturgical and Archaeological aspects apart, Biswanath College has a long and varied history in its growth and development as a town of today in terms of its educational institutions that could flourish owing principally to the natural surroundings engulfing the locality. The growth bespeaks more of spontaneity and less of artificiality forced upon a place by human efforts. It is the mighty river Brahmaputra that once provided Biswanath to figure out to have been marked as one of the most prominent place in Assam in terms of trade and commerce, which gradually turned the locality to a platform of education and learning despite its rural background.

Subsequent to the end of the 600 years old Ahom Rule as an after-effect of the Yandaboo Treaty in 1826, the British rulers preferred Biswanath in their attempts to establish the administrative center of the North Bank of Assam at Biswanath Town 5 k.m. away from Biswanath Chariali center. The naval communications of both cargo-vessels and passenger-steamers through Biswanathghat enabled the then British traders to execute their commercial schemes in and around the locality. Tea gardens grew up. The workers from outside Assam were brought on large-scale to run Tea industry, which in the long run caused a remarkable change of the demographic pattern in the cosmopolitan direction. The communication system around the place comprising as many as 20 Tea Estates including the largest on in Asia, viz. Monabarie Tea Estate, got considerably improved. And the business activities flourished in geometrical progression. Vis-à-vis the business enterprises, there grew all-round development of the people in the direction of learning and culture giving vent to the steady growth of educational institutions, like Chariali H.S. and M.P. School, Chariali Girls’ H.S. School, Chariali Academy, Adarsha Vidyapeeth, Little Star School (English Medium), Satsanga High School (Bengali medium), Kamalakanta Lakshmidhar Memorial School, Hindi High School, Bapuji High School, Modern High School (English medium), Sankardev Sishu Niketan, Jatiya Vidyalaya, North East School (English medium), Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, St. Xavier’s School, Basic Training Centre, District Institute of Education and Training (DIET), Biswanath Commerce College, Biswanath Law College, Biswanath College of Education, Biswanath High Madrasa, S.B. Arabic College, Biswanath College of Agriculture, Farm Machinery Testing and Training institute and Biswanath College.

The most striking feature of Biswanath Chariali is the spontaneous growth of the spirit of co-existence and co-operation among the people of all sections irrespective of caste, community, race and religion. It may be due to the Divine Inspiration of Baba Biswanath (God Viswanath) that the people of Biswanath Chariali have always been prompt enough to organize the co-operative movement in any enterprise - - - be it in the direction of establishment of educational institutions or Naamghars (Place of worship) or welfare society or sport and games or literary and cultural organizations or business organizations. Nowhere in Assam, nay in India, perhaps, the co-operative enterprises have attained the level of success that Biswanath Chariali has been able to. Biswanath College bears sufficient testimony to the concerted efforts and co-operative spirit of the people in and around the locality.
