The public in general and a host of leading personalities of the locality felt the necessity of establishing an institution for higher education at post-matric level and the result was the decision to start initially an Arts college. In 1962 the classes were started in a public theatre hall (Bapuji Mondir) and, after four years the establishment was shifted to its present site loca`ted in scenic surrounding with glorious historic background just6 on the outskirt of Dergaon town.

                         A munificent donation from Late Kamal Dowerah, a pious and benevolent citizen of the locality, helped the promoters to give a concrete shape to the project and in memento of it the institution was christened as DERGAON KAMAL DOWERAH COLLEGE. The pioneering efforts of Late D N Kakaty, Naren Sarma and H K Mahanta, the founder President, Secretary and Principal respectively helped it enormously in attaining its present prestigious status.
