The mission of the Department is to develop interests in Assamese language, literature and culture, which are core to the lives of most of the people of Assam. The students, with exposure to new ideas and enriched with new ways of knowledge and outlook in the Department, can see and explore novel experience and interpretation in familiar things. The Department aims to build future cultural leaders and creative writers, and tries to broaden the minds of the students with deeper human values and understanding, as well as the respect and commitment for indigenous cultural traditions. The students develop a refined sense of art and culture, become ready to struggle with hurdles of life, and employ their talents, skills and knowledge for the well-being of the nation and humanity.

Vision
The Department is committed to provide the quality education to the students that is possible in a public college of India, to promote their tastes and capabilities, and to widen their mental horizon, as well as to enrich them personally, intellectually, and socially.
