A vacuum in the educational sector was felt and thus Shrimanta Shankar Academy, a registered service organization was set up in 1992 at Panbazar, Ghy. Considering the long-felt need of an institution imparting quality education with an eye on the character and career building of the young generation in this region of the country, this institution has been established by a registered society named Shrimanta Shankar Academy. Thus, the motto of Shrimanta Shankar Academy is “Career with character”, and the watch word of the institution is Truth, Discipline and Excellence.
In 1992, an English medium Private institution of +2 category was formed and financed by Girijananda Choudhury’s family of Ghy and named after the great spiritual leader and social reformer of the Assamese society Srimanta Sankar Dev as Shrimanta Shankar Academy.
This is infact the 1st Junior College in the N.E part of the Country. It was a bold and pioneering step in the history of Assam to set up a Jr. College to impart quality education with a difference. The untiring effort of Choudhury family and able guidance of Dr. K. D. Krori, Retd. Principal, Cotton College and Prof. R. Haq, Dr. R. P.M Bordoloi and Prof S.C.
