At the time of inception, the college was named as ''Jamuguri College'' which later on renamed after the famous freedom fighter Tyagbir Hem Baruah as per decision of the Executive Committee of the college on February 8, 1965. The college started its journey from Jamuguri Higher Secondary School to Bapuji Bhawan and finally to its present campusat Kusumtola (Karchantola) where on the auspicious day of February 5, 1964 the foun- dation stone of the permanent building of the college was laid by the then Education Minister of Assam Late Debakanta Baruah amidst peace, tranquillity and serene beauty of nature. The col- lege has presently a sprawling campus of about 30 acres of land with natural wetlands, converted to fish farms by the Alumni Association of the college. There is a botanical garden with fruit bearing trees and quiet a large numbers medicinal plants and valuable timber woods. The tea garden of the college under "Seuj Udyug" scheme, the first of its kind in any college in the entire Brahmaputra Valley started with the aim of generating resources for making the college self- reliant to some extent. The college received its Deficit Grants-in-aid of the University Grant Commission (UGC) in 1974. With major development like introduction of science stream in 1989, the college completed its glorious journey of 50 years in 2013. The college which was once started with a few students is presently offering various courses to nearly 2500 students. The college was started with seven departments viz. English, Assamese, Economics, Education, History and Political Science at both intermediate and undergraduate level. New departments like Statistics, Mathematics, Geography, Nepali were also introduced later to cater to growing needs of students. There is constant effort by the authority now to introduce the Commerce stream which was once introduced but later on abandoned in 1996 owing to some technical difficulties. The college has undergone assessment by National Assesment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) two times first in 2004 and later in 2011. On the first assess- ment the college was accredited with the grade C+ while in the next the college was accreditated with Grade - B.

The real strength of the college lies in the faculty members who have been demonstrating variety of skills and knowledge for years and tirelessly working towards illumination of the young minds of the locality for greater social change.

Holding of national or state level seminars/ symposium/training programs on areas of greater social importance is a regular exercise of almost all departments of the college aiming at benefiting the fraternity of the college and the local community. The works undertaken by NSS cell, UGC extension cell and the Women cell of the college are stupendously working in this regard. The Career Guidance & Counselling Cell (CGCC) extends all moral support to needy students and career guidance to all students by regularly organizing various talks on emerging career options in the presenttimes.
