The vision of the institution is to emerge as one of the leading rural colleges of Assam that provides holistic education to transform the students most of who hail from the villages of greater Sootea area into capable future innovators and leaders. This is in line with its mission to prepare the rural students of the institution with necessary skills required to acclimatize to the emerging technology-driven society so that the world of opportunities in terms of career and service may be accessible to them.
Providing holistic education to the economically weaker students of rural Sootea is the primary distinctiveness of the institution. Being the sole institute of higher education in Sootea the institution believes that it has to cater to the wants and needs of its local population first before going out to compete with other HEIs of the state.
The institution received its due recognition from the University Grants Commission under Section 2(F) of the UGC Act 1956 on 10th of November 2022. Since 2013 the institution has been participating in the All India Survey of Higher Education (AISHE), with ARIIA in 2022 and NIRF in 2023.
Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed with the ICT Academy of Chennai, Biswanath College, THB College, Chaiduar College, Shatabdi Tea Industry and I-Net Computer Institute for the promotion of collaborative exchange programmes to benefit the students.
The student population of the college is multicultural and multilingual in nature. The five language and literature departments of Assamese, English, Sanskrit, Bodo and Nepali effectively address their needs.
