The Inception:

Anything great is nothing but a small thing transfigured. So is the story of Raid Laban College. An outcome of a shared vision and values of everyone involved. RLC is a composite of dedication and sacrifice of not one but millions. Twenty-five years back, a few right-thinking persons of Greater Laban visualized the need for having an educational institution to fulfil the academic aspiration catering to collegiate education. The dream came true one fine morning on the 2nd of July, 1984. A steering committee was formed comprising twenty-four members chaired by (L) Shri P.M. Ngap, a senior resident of Laban. The convenor being Mr. O.K. Lyngdoh and Treasurer (L) Mrs. T. Rynjah.

The Beginning:

A month later on 13th of August, 1084, the Steering Committee elected the members of the First Governing Body with Shri. J.D. Pohrmen as Founder President ( who holds the office till date ) ; Prof. C.S. Thakur was the Principal till March 1988. Prof. S. Nongbri as the Founder Secretary and Honorary Principal ( who officiated as the full-time Principal since then) ; Shri. A. Lyngdoh was elected Vice- President, (L) Shri.P.M. Ngap, Shri. O.K. Lyngdoh and (L) Mrs. Neena Rynjah were elected Members.

On the 14th August, 1984, the Governing Body and the Steering Committee submitted the application to the North Eastern Hill University intimating the need for setting up a college at Laban. Eventually, the college started functioning on co-education basis and was formally inaugurated on the 10th of April, 1985 with 28 students in Arts, 24 students in Science and 26 in Commerce. In high gusto, the inauguration ceremony was graced by the then ICAR Director, educationist scientist Dr. D.N. Barthakur supplemented by immense goodwill of well-wishers, social workers, teachers as well as students.
