Lakhimpur Telahi Kamalabaria College was established on the 22nd of August'1977, is situated at Azad at a distance of 8 km from Lakhimpur town. Prior to the establishment of this august institution, the students of this poor agrarian economically backward locality had to face an uphill task for attaining higher education due to a lack of proper communication and economic backwardness. So the keen educationist, social workers, and visionaries of the locality took initiative with the support of the inhabitants of the area to start an institution of higher education to fulfill the demands of the local people. Then it was the only institution of higher education situated at Azad surrounded by a huge population of nearly sixty thousand people mostly belonging to the SC., ST, M.O.B.C, and other backward classes. The missionary zeal and unflinching endeavor of some prominent local people and the wholehearted devotion of the teachers and the management have brought the college to its present state of dignity.

The Arts stream was brought under the deficit grant-in-aid system in 1987and subsequently provincialized under the college provincialisation act, 2005. The college is permanently affiliated with Dibrugarh University and registered under 2f and 12b of the UGC act 1956.

In order to cope up with the demands of the present age, the science stream was started in 1994 with a view of imparting science education to the local youths in spite of the economic paucity of the institution. The science stream offers both two years of Higher Secondary courses and 3years B.Sc. course with a major in Botany, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, and Zoology. The Science stream was provincialized under Assam Venture Institution Provincialisation Act, 2010.

From its inception, L.T.K. College has been successfully providing knowledge and higher learning and has produced thousands of graduates, teachers, and scholars of state recognition. The alumni of this college have attained a significant positions in the field of education, literature, govt. & non-govt. organization, art & culture, political administration, business, and in the field of science & technology. L.T.K. College is now preparing itself to meet the future challenges in education in the 21st century and as a part of its preparation has initiated several developmental and innovative plans & strategies.

The college has also introduced Distance Education under Krishna Kanta Handique State Open University (KKHSOU) and Dibrugarh University. It offers M.A, B.A and BPP Course (Bachelors Preparatory Programme). B.P.P course is offered especially to those aspirants who failed to complete their 10+2 standard education. After completion of BPP course, the candidate will be eligible to take admission into any graduate scheme under the same University.

From a very humble beginning in 1977, we have now reached a significant milestone against all odds and constraints. The glorious past and the illustrious present of our college must not create any sense of complacency. We are fully committed to taking the college towards new vistas of academic excellence.
