Arya Vidyapeeth College (AVC), Guwahati

The CPE (College with Potential for Excellence) tag along with a grant will surely help the institution to scale greater heights. As part of the ongoing CPE scheme several projects have been initiated both for institutional as well as community development. Facilities like Wi-Fi, 24 hours power back-up, language laboratory, UV-Vis spectrophotometer, gemological instruments etc are all part of the first phase of implementation. CPE has also led to establishment of the Historical and Anthropological Cultural Heritage Centre, the first of its kind in Assam. The College diligently carries out its Community Development Project at Garbhanga wherein it has adopted a school and adjacent villages Garbhanga is a very remote place, ironically on the fringe of Guwahati. Further, under this scheme the college has also taken up a project on Waste Management of Guwahati city.
