Lakhimpur: A significant milestone was reached for Dhakuakhana College in Assam’s Lakhimpur district as it was granted autonomous status by the University Grants Commission (UGC).
The decision was announced in a letter dated September 4, 2024, addressed to the Registrar of Dibrugarh University.
The autonomy will be effective for a period of ten years, from 2024-25 to 2033-34. This achievement is a testament to the college’s consistent academic excellence and commitment to quality education.
