About Us
Nalbari Commerce College, Nalbari, is a premier co-educational institution of higher education primarily imparting education in commerce. Experiencing the vacuum and realizing the urgent need of such an institution, a good number of personalities from different walks of lives comprising of educationists and intellectuals, social workers, thinkers, businessmen had made a drive to establish Nalbari Commerce College in the late eighties of the past century. The pioneering zeal and endeavor of those learned persons gave birth to the college on 16 July, 1979. It is located in the southern part of the district head quarter and at a distance of about 72 kilometers from the state capital.
It was a daunting task to the college to make people aware of the importance of commerce and other professional education, as the socio-economic condition of Assam is predominantly an agrarian one instead of being an industrial one. However, the situation has been rapidly changing with the thirst of having commerce education, most particularly in the era of worldwide phenomena like Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization (LPG) of recent times. Presently, narrowing down of opportunities to get employment in Govt. Departments vis-a-vis growing scenario of privatization has also awakened the people, inspiring the students to acquire commerce education besides the other technical and semi-technical and professional courses which may patronize the new generation to find out paths for getting employment in govt. departments, corporate bodies and for being a self-employed. The vision of the college is to motivate and strengthen new entrants to the institution to acquire practical education for being self-employed and making them job-giver rather than job-seekers and also injecting work-culture so as to confront the challenges that have been emerging.
The emblem of the Nalbari Commerce College, Nalbari reflecting the motto of the college bears an open book in front of the rising sun. The open book symbolizes awakening everybody to acquire knowledge while the spreading rays of the rising sun symbolize enlightening the learners, the sinister with the power of wisdom. The Sanskrit words mean, "Let us acquire knowledge to enlighten our minds".
