30 July 1979: 52 pioneering students -28 boys and 24 girls – walked into makeshift classrooms with nothing but dreams. Born as Pragjyoti College through the untiring efforts of visionaries like Late Dr. Homeswar Deva Choudhury, Late Prof. Rajani Kanta Sarma, and Late Umesh Chandra Deva Choudhury, and nurtured by the historic Pracchya Sangha, the college began without buildings or salaries for teachers. Yet, under founder Principal Late Krishna Goswami, that tiny spark became a blazing torch.
Today, on 6 green acres and affiliated to Bhattadev University, the college proudly educates over 1966 students in Arts and Commerce streams. From the first B.A. batch in 1985 to B.Com (Major) in 2017, from NAAC Grade B (2016) to full UGC recognition, every milestone echoes the motto: “Progress is the activity of today and assurance for tomorrow.”
At Nirmal Haloi, education means complete growth – physical, intellectual, and ethical. Students are taught to “fly high in the open sky of opportunities while staying firmly attached to their roots.” Affordable fees, inclusive policies, and an unwavering commitment to the disadvantaged make quality higher education reachable for all, turning today’s learners into tomorrow’s nation-builders.
Three smart digital classrooms, a modern auditorium, a rich library, wetlands, a fishery, and a medicinal-plant garden — every corner of the campus breathes learning and sustainability. Experienced faculty and vibrant outreach programs complete the picture of a college that lives its values every single day.
December 2025 marks a historic turning point: Nirmal Haloi College has been chosen as the flagship institution for the Green Campus Programme, launched through a landmark MoU between Bhattadev University and Mahabahu Climate Forum under the Climate Reality Project , India & South Asia (headed by Mr. Aditya Pundir).

On 1 December 2025, renowned climate activist and Mahabahu Climate Forum convenor Rituraj Phukan – celebrated globally for his expeditions to Antarctica and the Arctic, and his lifelong advocacy blending indigenous wisdom with modern climate science – visited the campus along with Nilim Kashyap Barthakur. Together, they laid the foundation for transformative initiatives:
Rainwater harvesting, Zero-waste systems, Solar energy, biodiversity conservation.
“This partnership will turn Nirmal Haloi College into a living model of environmental excellence,” says Principal Dr. Kaushik Kumar Deka. From earning extra points in NIRF sustainability rankings to inspiring thousands of youth, the ripple effect has already begun.
Green campuses are no longer optional – they are lifelines. As Northeast India faces intensifying floods and shifting monsoons, Nirmal Haloi College is proving that small, determined actions today create a cooler, kinder planet tomorrow.
In Dr. Deka’s words, “The students of today are the leaders of tomorrow.”
If you believe in affordable, inclusive, value-based education – and now want to be part of India’s green future – Nirmal Haloi College is where your story takes flight. Arts, Commerce, or the upcoming climate-action certifications: here, roots grow deeper as wings grow stronger.
