Damdama College, P.O.- Kulhati, Kamrup, Assam was established on 9th August 1978 with the motto ‘Imparting Higher Education’ to the rural youth of the locality. It is known that education is acquisition of knowledge and knowledge always wins. Here knowledge does not connote to mere accumulation of facts and information; rather it must add to the creative faculty and original thinking and gradually bring about a positive transformation in one’s personality, thus preparing the students to become conscious responsible citizens capable of meeting the challenges of time and making the best of the opportunities as they come in life. The Sustainable Development Goal 4 [SDG 4] aims to ensure that every individual has access to high-quality education that aids in skill development and encourages economic empowerment.
The motto of the college is quite significant. The emblem of the college – a lit lamp, symbolizes enlightenment and hope. And it indicates the growth and gain of true knowledge and intellect, dispelling the darkness of ignorance.
The mission and vision of the college is to develop the college as an institution of excellence and provide its students with quality higher education. To make this a reality, efforts towards upgrading the college to the status of a full-fledged multi stream institution are afoot.
The college also aims to provide an ambience which facilitates the students in attaining moral and spiritual upliftment enabling them to form a character of sublime order. The college endeavors to train them culturally via various extra co-curricular activities. Apart from this, the institution also aims to serve as a symbol for promoting unity and integrity among the different fractions of people living in its vicinity.
The famous dictum of Confucius [around 450 BC]: “Tell me, and I will forget. Show me, and I may remember. Involve me, and I will understand” truly stands the test of time and is still relevant today especially in the realm of higher education.
