Darrang College also sometimes referred to at times as the Nalanda of the North Bank was started in July 1945 with 8 teachers and 112 students in the roll. Late Kamakhya Prasad Tripathy, a veteran freedom fighter and trade union leader came forward to shoulder the responsibility of the founder Principal of the College. Initially the Classes were held at the banglow of Mr.Arnaldo Duchi, an Italian gentleman who sold the property to the College.
