Since its foundation in 1956, the College has been trying its best to fulfil its duty of providing higher education mostly to the first generation learners coming largely from rural background and Scheduled Caste communities and Muslim minorities. The College is situated in border area, the Indo-Bangladesh International Border being barely 10 kilometres away aerially from the College. Mostly hailing from peasant families, the students come to this Dinhata College with a lot of expectation but little idea about their future course of life. The College undertakes the responsibility to guide them to a bright future and thereby plays a messianic role in the socio-economic development of the whole area.
