And this isn’t all. We continue raising the quality bar and have set a tangible target that we can assess – through the success of our students in classroom, through those who graduate and are employed in their field of study, through employers who tell us that the graduates of The Assam Kaziranga University are prepared to excel in the workplace and also through alumni and donors who support our mission. The Assam Kaziranga University strives to have a positive and enduring impact on the communities we serve and to help students become professionals and leaders of tomorrow.

Vice Chancellor, The Assam Kaziranga University
It is a privilege to assume the responsibility of Vice-Chancellor of Kaziranga University at a defining moment for higher education in India, particularly for the North-Eastern region. The nation today recognises that education; from foundational learning to advanced research; is the most powerful driver of inclusive development, innovation, and national transformation. The North-East of India stands at the threshold of a new trajectory. Renowned for its cultural depth, ecological wealth, and social harmony, the region is now emerging as a strategic gateway of South Asia where education, technology, sustainability, and global engagement converge. In this evolving national vision, universities must act not merely as knowledge providers, but as catalysts of societal progress. This University is uniquely positioned in this scenery. Its name itself reflects nature, resilience, coexistence, and responsibility. Located in the Brahmaputra basin and surrounded by forests, biodiversity, and vibrant communities, the University carries a natural mandate to lead in environment-conscious education, nature-based solutions, climate resilience, sustainable livelihoods, and human-centred development. Education here must respond not only to markets, but also to ecology, society, and future generations. Aligned with the National Education Policy 2020, the University shall promote multidisciplinary learning, flexible academic pathways, experiential education, and strong research–teaching integration. Our focus will be on translating knowledge into classrooms, laboratories, communities, and enterprises; ensuring learning that is relevant, applied, and transformative. As global universities increasingly engage with India, it is imperative that we recalibrate our academic approaches and confidently position ourselves on the global education map. This remarkable region of Bharat offers exceptional opportunities across forestry and wildlife conservation, river and water systems, agriculture, hospitality and tourism, engineering, medical sciences, social sciences, and the creative arts. Kaziranga University aspires to serve as a convergence platform where these disciplines move beyond disciplinary boundaries and work in harmony to address real-world challenges through collaboration and innovation. Particular emphasis will be placed on women’s leadership, entrepreneurship, and community empowerment; areas in which the region already demonstrates quiet strength, resilience, and growing global relevance. Faculty and students form the intellectual core of the University. We shall nurture an ecosystem that encourages academic freedom, ethical leadership, innovation, research excellence, and social responsibility. Partnerships with industry, government, communities, and global institutions will be strengthened through meaningful public–private collaboration models that deliver real outcomes. My journey across research institutions, universities, and leadership roles over four decades has shaped a simple conviction: education draws its true strength from the grassroots and fulfils its purpose only when it serves society. At Kaziranga University, our collective effort will be directed towards building an institution of distinction; one that reflects regional aspirations, contributes meaningfully to national priorities, and advances the Sustainable Development Goals through thoughtful action and measurable outcomes. I invite students, faculty, staff, parents, alumni, industry partners, and the wider community to join in this shared mission. Together, let us shape our University into a future-ready institution where knowledge, values, nature, and innovation coexist in harmony; and where education becomes a lasting force for positive transformation.
