The Department of History of Pandu College is one of the pioneering departments of the institution, functioning since the establishment of the college in 1962. Honours (Major) courses in History were introduced in 1970, marking an important milestone in the academic growth of the department. Over the decades, the department has earned a reputation for academic excellence, intellectual vibrancy, and committed teaching at both the Undergraduate and Higher Secondary levels.
The department is enriched by a dedicated team of experienced faculty members who continuously strive to impart quality education and cultivate critical thinking, analytical ability, and historical consciousness among students. Beyond classroom teaching, the department actively promotes a culture of inquiry, discussion, and participatory learning through seminars, lectures, workshops, field visits, and academic interactions.
A significant platform for student engagement is the Pandu College History Association, which regularly organizes curricular and co-curricular activities aimed at nurturing leadership qualities, creativity, and scholarly interest among students. The department also has a proud tradition of hosting eminent scholars and academicians. The first memorial lecture of the department was delivered by Dr. Dipankar Banerjee on 31 August 2004. Since then, a series of distinguished lectures by renowned academicians has enriched the intellectual atmosphere of the department and inspired generations of students.
The Department of History has consistently contributed to historical research and academic discourse through seminars and publications. In 2007, the department successfully organized a UGC and ICHR-sponsored National Seminar on “Status of Women in Colonial Assam”. The seminar brought together scholars from different institutions, and the proceedings were later published, adding significantly to the historiography of Assam and gender studies.
Another remarkable contribution of the department was the initiative to compile and publish “Memorabilia”, a valuable record documenting the notable events and history of Pandu College since its inception. The book was ceremonially released during the Golden Jubilee celebrations of the college in the esteemed presence of A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, making the occasion a moment of great pride for the institution.
The department further strengthened its academic legacy by organizing a National Seminar sponsored by Maulana Abul Kalam Azad Institute of Asian Studies on “Role of the North-East in Freedom Movement: Unsung Heroes” on 19–20 March 2019. The seminar witnessed the presentation of 29 research papers on diverse themes related to the contribution of North-East India to the freedom struggle. The event was graced by Prof. Ishwar Singh Chauhan as the Chief Guest, along with eminent scholars and resource persons from various universities. The successful completion of the seminar reflected the department’s commitment to promoting historical research of national significance.
