Lakhimpur Post Graduate Training College

The Lakhimpur Post Graduate Training College, a teacher education institution was founded in the year 1976, under Dibrugarh University, Dibrugarh, Assam. The institution has been imparting teacher training to pre-service and in-service teachers with an objective of enhancing quality education of the teacher of Lakhimpur in particular and Assam in general. The need of establishment of teacher education institution was felt at North Lakhimpur because of ever increasing number of high and higher secondary schools in the nooks and corners of the District. It was a need of the hour. Earlier, teachers of various high schools were sent on deputation by the Govt. of Assam to study and acquire B.T. or B.Ed. degree but due to dearth of seats only a few could avail this. To mitigate the problem it was felt that the establishment of a Post Graduate Training College will effectively train and educate the teachers to be a competent teacher with value oriented education. Since its inception, this institution has been serving as the Teacher Education Institution not only for the North Bank of Assam i.e. from the Morkokseleng to Darrang District but also to the other states like Arunachal Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Kerala, etc.
