expand\r\n        higher educational facilities and ensure that all states in the\r\n        country meet the national average of Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER)\r\n        in higher education. To fulfil this, the Central Government has\r\n        launched an important scheme, \u2018Scheme for Financing New Model\r\n        Colleges in Educationally Backward Districts (EBDs)\u2019, which is\r\n        essentially a motivational mechanism for state governments to\r\n        improve educational outcomes in underserved districts by\r\n        providing appropriate financial assistance.\r\n    <\/p>\r\n\r\n    <p>\r\n        Under this scheme Government of Assam established five Model Degree\r\n        Colleges in the year 2017, and all these Model Degree Colleges were\r\n        named after Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya, a great thinker,\r\n        philosopher, sociologist and politician of the country. The\r\n        Government of Assam, in its second phase, established six new Govt.\r\n        Model Degree Colleges in the year 2020, which were later renamed as\r\n        Govt. Model College. Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya Government Model\r\n        College, Katlicherra is one of these six newly established\r\n        Government Model Colleges.\r\n    <\/p>\r\n\r\n    <p>\r\n        Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya Government Model College, Katlicherra,\r\n        Hailakandi was proposed to be built at Sultanicherra Garden under\r\n        South Hailakandi Constituency, which is about 48 km far from\r\n        Hailakandi, the district headquarter and 33 km from Lala town.\r\n        The transport and communication facilities of the area are\r\n        adequately developed, and the college is well connected to district\r\n        headquarter and other parts of the Hailakandi district.\r\n    <\/p>\r\n\r\n    <p>\r\n        Although the permanent building of the college is yet to be\r\n        constructed, it starts functioning profusely at a temporary venue\r\n        located in Jamira High School Campus. The majority of the villagers\r\n        residing around the college are educationally and financially\r\n        backward. The college is a blazing light in this educationally\r\n        backward and interior region which will empower and enlighten the\r\n        learners.\r\n    <\/p>\r\n\r\n    <p>\r\n        It being the only college, the ambitious students can see a ray of\r\n        hope to pursue higher studies which was earlier a dream they\r\n        cherished. Now they can mould their future in this holy shrine of\r\n        learning. The College has started its journey only with faculty of\r\n        Arts comprising of eight departments viz, English, Bengali,\r\n        Economics, Political Science, History, Geography, Education and\r\n        Mathematics.\r\n    <\/p>\r\n\r\n    <p>\r\n        The college has opened its doors for the first batch of students\r\n        from the academic session 2020-21. After successfully completing\r\n        the first academic session, the college has started its admission\r\n        process for Higher Secondary 1st Year (Arts) and B.A. 1st Semester\r\n        for the academic session 2021-22.\r\n    <\/p>\r\n\r\n    <p>\r\n        At present, the college is offering Higher Secondary Course in\r\n        arts stream under Assam Higher Secondary Education Council (AHSEC)\r\n        and under-graduate programme leading to Bachelor Degree in Arts\r\n        under Assam University, Silchar.\r\n    <\/p>\r\n\r\n    <p>\r\n        The aim of the college is to impart quality higher education and\r\n        prepare the students for their secure future and noble humanitarian\r\n        cause, thereby contributing much to society. As it is a Government\r\n        Model College, each and every classroom and department is\r\n        well-equipped with modern advanced technologies, and students are\r\n        being taught by a galaxy of highly qualified and dedicated faculty\r\n        members who are putting their best efforts to impart quality\r\n        education along with continuous monitoring of students for their\r\n        overall improvement.\r\n    <\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<!-- =========================\r\n     GO TO HOME BUTTON\r\n     ========================= -->\r\n\r\n<div class=\"about-home-area\">\r\n\r\n    <a\r\n        href=\"https:\/\/pdugmck.ac.in\/\"\r\n        class=\"about-home-button\"\r\n        title=\"Go to Home\"\r\n    >\r\n        <span class=\"home-icon\">\u2302<\/span>\r\n        <span>GO TO HOME<\/span>\r\n    <\/a>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/section>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Us The establishment of the Model Degree College is a part of the proactive measures undertaken by the Government of India to expand higher educational facilities and ensure that all states in the country meet the national average of Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) in higher education.
