Suren Das College, Hajo, established on 29th August, 1979, is the only nerve centre of higher education in the greater Hajo area. The institution was formerly known as HajoAnchalik College and was housed in the premises of S.B.S.K.R. Higher Secondary School, Hajo. The dream and untiring efforts of a group of benevolent persons and educationists of Hajo area led to the creation of this institute. The mass participation of the people is evident in the immense contributions of various organizations to the college. One fine such example is the No. 1 HajoGaonPanchayatSamabaySamity. The organization has been contributing substantially towards growth and development of the college ever since its inception. The organization has donated the science building of the College.

The family of Late Suren Das (20February, 1925 – 18th March, 1982), a philanthropist, donated the existing Arts building of the College on the land relinquished in favour of the college by the DhoparguriSatra authority. As a mark of respect to their contributions, the Governing Body of the College decided to rename the College as Suren Das College in 1985. The College came under deficit grants-in-aid system w.e.f. 1st January, 1987 and has been permanently affiliated to Gauhati University w.e.f. 1994 and is registered under 2(F) and 12(B) of the UGC Act 1956 w.e.f. 1994-95.
