R.I.Masharing. Shri D.D.Lapang and the (Late) R.I.Masharing felt the need of setting up a College in Nongpoh to cater to the needs of the Ri Bhoi students willing to pursue collegiate education. In 1993, the College was upgraded to a degree College after being granted rovisional affiliation by North Eastern Hill University. It was established to cope with the demand for setting up of a college for students of the district who could not afford to move to the capital city for higher studies. It is a co-educational Institution. Through many vicissitudes, the college went on to stand independently, acquiring of its own plot of land and building to meet the growing requirement.
