HISTORY


In response to the growing interest in Commerce education in Assam, significant changes were made to the curriculum in the early 1980s. Two pivotal commerce subjects, Book Keeping and Business Methods, were integrated into the existing Arts stream for Higher Secondary classes in 1982. This strategic addition marked the beginning of a broader transformation in the educational landscape of Kaliabor, a region known for its singular institution of higher learning at the time.
By August 28, 1990, the Commerce Department was brought under the deficit system, ensuring better financial and administrative support from the government. This move facilitated the introduction of two major courses in the academic session of 1989-90: one in Accountancy and the other in Management. These courses were designed to meet the evolving needs of the job market and to equip students with essential skills in their respective fields.
The department continued to grow and develop over the years. In 2010, it transformed into a full-fledged faculty comprising four distinct departments: Commerce, Accountancy, Management, and Finance. Each department had a specific focus, allowing students to specialize in various aspects of commerce. The Accountancy Department offered an Honours course in Accountancy, and the Management Department provided an Honours course in Management. The introduction of the Finance Department was also under consideration, reflecting the faculty\'s commitment to expanding and enhancing its educational offerings.
In 2015, the Commerce Department introduced the Master of Commerce (M.Com.) program under the affiliation of Gauhati University. This advanced course was designed to cater to the growing demand for postgraduate studies in commerce. The M.Com. program had an allotted seat capacity of 40 students and offered specializations in Human Resource Management (HRM), Marketing, Accounting, and Finance. Notably, this program was self-financed, demonstrating the department\'s ability to sustain and manage its resources effectively. The M.Com. course was supported by three dedicated faculty members and was further assisted by other faculty members from the Commerce Department
