Silapathar Science College was established in 1996 in this geographically isolated Silapathar region under the 114 No. Assam Legislative Assembly Constituency of Dhemaji, the most flood-prone district of Assam, by a group far-sighted individuals in particular and the local public in general so as to pave the way for the creation of scientific temperament among the people of this backward region and participate in the ever-expanding horizons of science education.
