The Department of Physics, Dhakuakhana College (1988-2023)
Dhakuakhana college, which is the result of a long struggle and lots of hope of the people of Dhakuakhana is destined to influence and change academic environment and socio-cultural horizon of the North Bank of the river Brahmaputra of Upper Assam. Dhakuakhana college with a single discipline of Arts Faculty was set up in 1966, by way of public donations, for the greater academic interest of the people of Dhakuakhana. In this era of information, Internet and Globalization,as it has become very difficult to cope, with the rapidly growing horizons of modern science it is needed to extend science education along with humanities at Dhakuakhana college.
For the interest of the extension of knowledge of basic sciences at Dhakuakhana the science faculty with Higher Secondary Courses was first successfully introduced at Dhakuakhana college in 1988. In fact it played a significant role in the socio-economic changes of the place.
Physics, which is one of the most important subject of basic sciences was introduced as a compulsory subject from the beginning. Since then it bears a significant role continuously for spreading the knowledge of science at Dhakuakhana College.
In the beginning, the practical classes were held temporarily in the quarter of the ex- Principal Late Soyed Dolilur Rohman, until the present Science building was completed. It is obvious that, a local businessman of Dhakuakhana, Sri Rajen Saikia,also donated a pakage of monitary aid for the foundation of Physics Laboratory. But, in due course, during 9th plan period, University Grant Commission sponsored a financial grant for construction of Science Laboratory, due to which the Physics Laboratory building was constructed. The existing building of the Department of Physics was inaugurated on 25th August 2000, by Sri Mohesh Doley, then the Chief Executive of Mising Autonomous.
The year 1998 was a landmark year in our history of Science as the Govt. of Assam declared deficit Grant in Aid to Dhakuakhana college Science faculty on the 25th March 1998’ and hence the Science faculty was put under Grant in Aid system of the Govt. of Assam.
Three year Degree science course at Dhakuakhana college was started in the year 1991 and the Major course in Physics was introduced with effect from the Academic year 2000 – 2001. The last batch of Major Course was completed in the year 2021. The department has now introduced CBCS course in all the semesters of B.Sc since 2019.
