Education is not merely the accumulation of facts but the awakening of intellect and spirit. The Taittiriya Upanishad (1.11.1) urges us never to cease learning and teaching, and the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad (1.3.28) inspires us to seek truth, light, and immortality through knowledge. True education must, therefore, cultivate critical thinking, moral clarity, and an unquenchable thirst for truth, for it is through enlightened minds that a nation thrives. Suren Das College, Hajo- established on 29 August 1979- has journeyed from humble beginnings, with UG programme in Arts only, to become a dynamic institution of higher learning and the nerve centre of education in the greater Hajo area. Today, the college stands proud, offering a wide spectrum of academic programmes- from foundational courses to cutting-edge skill-based education. It is permanently affiliated to Gauhati University, and recognised under Sections 2(f) and 12(B) of the UGC Act, 1956.
