Pramathesh Barua College popularly known as P.B. College, Gauripur was established on 29th
November 1964 in the name of Late Rajkumar Pramathesh Chandra Barua, Doyen and Legend of
Indian Cinema, with a hope to fulfil aspirations of masses in the undivided Goalpara District in

Education in the then Goalpara District that could not cater to the growing needs of the time. So, the
higher education was a daydream for the people living in the vast area of the district. Thus, with the
aim of imparting higher education to the potential aspirants a host of conscious and prophetic eyed
citizens and also education loving personalities established this institution in 1964 and named after the
Doyen of Indian Cinema Late Rajkumar Pramathesh Chandra Barua which gradually evolving a rich
synthesis of all the different cultures and customs and traditions ultimately becoming a great centre of
academic excellence. It had the objective of imparting knowledge with a view to stimulate academic
environment for promoting of quality teaching-learning centre activities for exploring uplift of the
society and also the lives of the people in the vicinity and to foster competitiveness at the national and
international level.

the local leading citizens the faculty of commerce was started in the college in 1979.
