Jengraimukh College

Jengraimukh College is an institution of higher education situated on Majuli, the world's largest river island, in Assam, India. It was established in 1973 to address the educational backwardness of the Jengraimukh area, a region predominantly inhabited by the Mising and Deori tribes. The area had long suffered from poor transportation and communication links due to natural barriers, which prevented local families from sending their children for higher education. Recognizing that this lack of education contributed to a broader decline in economic, social, and political awareness, several leading local personalities came together with the idea of creating a college to foster higher education and general awareness among the tribal population. Through their efforts and the arrangement of necessary infrastructure, Jengraimukh College was founded as a beacon of hope for the tribal community. The college is affiliated with Dibrugarh University and offers programs in the Arts stream, including Assamese, Political Science, Economics, History, Sociology, Education, and Logic & Philosophy, as well as courses in Science.
