About Department of Physics

The Science stream at Gargaon College was introduced in 1969, a decade after the college was established in 1959. In the same year, Physics was incorporated as one of the core subjects in the Pre-University course under Dibrugarh University. The Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) program was introduced in 1974, with Physics as one of the core subjects. In 1988, the college began offering a Major in Physics under the B.Sc. curriculum.

Md. A. H. Laskar was the founding faculty member of the Department of Physics. Initially, the department operated with three faculty members. Today, it has grown to a team of five experienced faculty members, including two Ph.D. holders and one currently pursuing a Ph.D., along with two laboratory assistants.
