A university is a temple of knowledge. With its presence and commitment towards fulfilling the educational and related interests of the young members of the society, a university introduces numerous pathways to transform the lives of countless individuals. 


The newly established Nagaon University brings with it a legacy of 80 years in the form of imparting education at graduate and post - graduate levels in the form of Nowgong College established in 1944. The historical root and importance of this institution is a reminder of those vibrant days of our freedom struggle and educational commitment of a group of dedicated individuals of the Nagaon region  that embodied  meaningful dialogues for the present and future generations. 

An educational institution always believes in sharing ideas and skills with a strong ethical foundation that is capable of addressing challenges of 21st century that include climate change, regional disparities and societal imbalances. Sustainable development as propounded by leaders of the global community which concentrates on meeting the needs of the present generations without compromising the ability of future generations is one the yardsticks that this University is committed to. With rapid intrusion of artificial intelligence into our lives that essentially encompasses individual and collective spheres , we need to concentrate on our strengths and weaknesses to have a better society. 

The essential proposition that Nagaon University desires to uphold in the light of National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020)   is the proposition of inclusion for all members of the society irrespective of their backgrounds. We are committed to establish 'A People's University' that will build a community of profound commitment, democratic values and exclusive emphasis on structuring a knowledge society guided by requisite skills and moral values. 


I wish that all members of this esteemed University represent the vision of a transformative society and act accordingly with their conscience and commitment.
