Greetings! It is a proud moment for the people of Behali in particular and Biwsanath District in

general that the dream project of RUSA and Govt. of Assam of establishing Pandit Deendayal

Upadhyaya Adarsha Mahavidalaya, a Model Degree Science College has become a reality. This

initiative of the Government of Assam will go a long way in turning this region with low gross

enrolment ratio into a centre teeming with great potentialities. It has been a dream of the nation for

quite some time to spread higher education to every nook and corner of the land and establishment of

this institute is proof of this commitment to the cause. I feel proud to share that the Pandit Deendayal

Upadhyaya Adarsha Mahavidalaya, Behali has already completed first academic session 2017-2018

with flying colours in all aspects. Although the infrastructure of the college is not hundred percent

completed yet we expect to complete all the construction works within a short period of time. I like to

offer my sincere thanks to all the stakeholders for their dedication, devotion, commitment and hard

work towards all round development of this institute. Meanwhile, I would like to welcome all the

deserving students of the region to get enrolled in this institute and be part of this historic initiative

and participate in our march towards excellence. I would also like to invite the guardians, general

public of Biswanath district, NGOs, Industry and other stakeholders to visit this college and enrich it

with their valuable suggestions.

Envisioned in the XII Plan under RUSA, this model college is mandated to provide world class science

education to the students of this educationally backward area. And we are committed to keep the

promises made.

Thank You.
