Haji Anfar Ali College, Doboka

Campus Location: Nagaon

Located in Haji Anfar Ali College, the premier seat of higher learning was put on a firm foundation in the mid 80s of the twentieth century at Daboka, the newly formed Hojai District in Assam. It is an irony that even after the passage of four decades of independence, there had been no institution of higher learning until 1986 in such a place of historical significance. Though late, the thought of setting up an institution of higher education took shape in the minds of the intelligentsia and Haji Anfar Ali College is the ultimate fruition of the hopes and aspirations of the people at large of this area. Formerly known as ‘Daboka College’, the institution was formally initiated with a few students in the TDC classes in the year 1986 with due permission from the Gauhati University. The first building of the college was donated by the famous Anfar family of Hojai. In kind consideration to the long-felt need of a college and paying tribute to their generosity, the sponsoring body of the college renamed it as ‘Haji Anfar Ali College’ after the name of their heavenly father. The philanthropic donors of Anfar family have never turned a blind eye to the needs of the college. They contributed a handsome amount for the construction of a central library cum administrative building of the college. Acknowledging their generous contribution, the college authority also named the two blocks of the building after the names of their mothers as Samsun Nehar Begum Library and Juhra Begum Administrative Block. However, the college has built up a New Administrative Building with the grants offered by the State Govt. capacitating in it the office of the Principal and the different Departments and classrooms. Haji Anfar Ali College, Doboka was granted recognition by the University Grants Commission under section 2(f) and 12(B) of the UGC Act, 1956 in the year 2009 and since then the college has been getting financial assistance from UGC under its different schemes such as Indoor Stadium, UGC Network Resource Centre,Extension of Classrooms, Computer lab etc. and of late a Women’s Hostel with Warden's Quarter., The College has been consistently maintaining high academic standards and good institutional social responsibilities. The college is permanently affiliated to the Gauhati University, Assam and it had gone for the NAAC assessment and accredited with a prestigious C++ Grade in the year 2005 for the first time.
