First-rate higher education has been denied to many tribal and village communities in Assam even before Independence. To put an end to this injustice Tihu College, one of the premier institutions of higher education in Assam, was established in 1963 with a view to make higher education accessible to the poor village community in the western part of Nalbari district of Assam. Since its inception, the institute has come a long way and with more than five decades of eventful history behind it catering to the needs of the students opting for higher education. From the start, the founders of the institute had a clear mission and vision for Tihu College and that was to bring the benefit of higher education to the semi-urban and rural masses, especially to the poorer section of the society, with a more caring and supportive understanding of the socio-economic milieu, which will equip them to meet the challenges of the changing times in a much more organized and scientific way.
Operating with the motto of 'March Ahead for Excellence', Tihu College under the guidance of Founder and first Principal Sjt. Sailendra Prasad Medhi has played an integral part in the development of the less privileged community of the state and has now grown to become one of the premier institutions operating in the hinterlands that have rich intellectual heritage and academic ethos. Providing class-leading education at an affordable price Tihu College has become one of the go-to destinations for many higher education aspirants in the country.
