About the Department of English:
The history of the department of English, Golaghat Commerce College, dates back to the establishment of the college in 1972. It is one of the ten departments with which the college was started. The department had a humble beginning as in Commerce stream, the importance of the department was not noteworthy enough. But with the opening up of the Arts stream in 1989, the department acquired a new dimension. So far, we had been busy with a curriculum based on only rudimentary skills of communication in English and other commercial correspondence skills. But when the literary aspects came about in the purview of our curriculum, major courses were started from the year 2004.
