SENAPATI, Jan 22 : Maram Union  has hailed Don Bosco College (DBC) Maram on being conferred the 'Autonomous status' by Manipur University as per UGC (Conferment of Autonomous status upon colleges and measures for maintenance of standards in Autonomous Colleges) Regulations 2018.
Established in 2000 and located along the periphery of Maram on NH-2 with easy accessibility, the college has over 40,000 students drawn from the entire North East States and other mainland States, thereby making DBC a diverse environment with various cultures and backgrounds, it added.
For its progressive academic excellence since its inception, the National Accreditation and Assessment Council (NAAC) had accredited the College with ‘A’ grade and a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) score of 3.46 on a scale of 4 in 2015, the only College in the entire North East to attain the height of academic performance.
The college offers undergraduate courses in Arts & Commerce, Science and a postgraduate course, that was developed recently in Sociology and English, it added.
The Union stated that the Maram community shall continue to support the college, which has placed Maram on the map of education, in all its endeavours to create a peaceful and homely zone for the students and staff.
It may also be mentioned that during the National lockdown that was imposed as a measure to contain the spread of COVID-19, hundreds of the college students who were stuck at Maram, were provided basic food items by the Maram Civil Societies (CSOs) until they were able to go back to their respective homes upon relaxation of the Nationwide lockdown.
