It gives me immense pleasure to welcome you to Rabindranath Tagore University, Hojai, Assam, a beacon of knowledge and academic excellence situated in the serene town of Hojai. Our journey, which began in 2019 as a university, has deep roots in the rich legacy of Hojai College, established in 1964. The transition from Hojai College to Rabindranath Tagore University marks a significant milestone, continuing our commitment to fostering education and empowering future generations.
The university currently offers a wide array of academic opportunities through its 16 departments, spread across the three streams of Humanities & Social Sciences, Natural & Mathematical Sciences and Commerce. We provide undergraduate, postgraduate, and Ph.D. programs, ensuring a comprehensive learning experience for our students. However, our ambitions don't stop there. We are actively working to expand our academic horizon by establishing several new departments, catering to the evolving needs of society and the growing aspirations of our students.
We also take pride in our network of 8 affiliated colleges, which contribute significantly to our vision of academic inclusivity and excellence. Our existing campus spans 42 bighas of land, providing a conducive environment for learning. Furthermore, construction is underway for a new campus at Sagarbasti, Hojai, about 3.5 kilometers from the current campus. This new campus, spread over 80 bighas of land, will be a state-of-the-art facility designed to meet the academic, cultural, and infrastructural needs of our expanding community.
Hojai district and its adjoining areas are culturally diverse. A variety of cultures are equally nurtured here naturally. Rabindranath Tagore University is committed to uphold this unity in cultural diversity for promoting the National Integrity.
Rabindranath Tagore University is deeply rooted in its mission to uplift the local population, fostering an environment where different cultures and traditions come together to create a vibrant and inclusive community. We believe in Tagore’s vision of an education that transcends the mere acquisition of knowledge, promoting the overall development of individuals.
In the words of Rabindranath Tagore, "The highest education is that which does not merely give us information but makes our life in harmony with all existence." Let us continue to strive for this holistic development as we nurture future leaders, thinkers, and changemakers.
