Brief account of the Department
Welcome to the Department of Physics, Sonari College
Established in August 1984, the Department of Physics at Sonari College has been a cornerstone of academic excellence in the region. Its inception, marked by the introduction of the pre-degree science program under Dibrugarh University (now Higher Secondary Course under Assam Higher Secondary Education Council), laid the foundation for a journey dedicated to nurturing inquisitive minds and fostering a passion for physics.
The department was founded by a group of dedicated educators who played pivotal roles in shaping its early years. The initial faculty included:
- Sri Prince Dutta: (For 4 months)
- Ms. Saraswati Gogoi: (For 1 month)
- Sri Sujit Changmai Boruah: (For 1 year)
- Sri Kanuranjan Gogoi: (For 3 months)
Their collective vision and commitment set the stage for the department's growth and laid the groundwork for the academic legacy that continues to thrive today.
With an initial student strength of 24, the department quickly evolved, paving the way for BSc degree courses in Physics as a pass course starting from the 1986-87 session. The official recognition and endorsement by the government, as reflected in the Government Letter No. EPH/258/85/73 dated 22nd January 1987, solidified the department's commitment to academic excellence.
Under the affiliation of Dibrugarh University, the Department of Physics at Sonari College continued to grow and expand its offerings. In the 2004-2005 session, a significant milestone was achieved with the commencement of the BSc in Physics Major course, catering to the academic aspirations of students who sought a more specialized and in-depth understanding of the subject.
A special mention goes to Mrs. Rina Borthakur, who dedicated her service to the department from 1986 until her retirement on 31st May 2022. Her steadfast commitment and contributions have been instrumental in shaping the department into what it is today.
Today, the department stands as a testament to its rich history and unwavering commitment to providing quality education in the field of physics. The journey, which began with a modest student intake, has blossomed into a hub of intellectual curiosity, shaping the future of aspiring physicists and contributing to the broader scientific community.
At present the department offers a diverse range of programs:
-
-
- 6-semester BSc in Physics (Honours) (CBCS)
- 4-year BSc in Physics (FYUGP)
- 2-year Higher Secondary course
