Dispur Law College

Dispur Law College, situated in the heart of Guwahati, Assam, was established in 1993 with the mission to impart quality legal education. The college commenced its operations in February 1994 at Gopal Boro Government H.S. School, Dispur. With the generous donation of land adjacent to the historic Assam Secretariat Building by Smti. Madhuri Das and Sri Dalim Chandra Pathak, the college constructed its own building. The foundation stone was laid by the then Chief Minister of Assam, Late Hiteswar Saikia, on March 9, 1995. Since then, the college has been functioning from its own premises.
