Sohra Government College, formerly known as “Sohra College” before its provincialisation in 2011, has a unique history of its own. Located at Saitsohpen Village in the lower reaches of the majestic Sohra Plateau, Sohra Government College stands out as the only full-fledged Government institution of higher education in the East Khasi hills district of Meghalaya.Prior to 1982, there was no college under Sohra Civil Sub-Division. Due to extreme poverty, many parents could not send their children to Shillong for higher education. In such a situation, many talents were wasted due to this problem. After seeing this, an idea to start a college here at Sohra sprung up in the minds of some Government officers, Teacher- educators, youths and prominent persons of the area. That idea of starting a college here was first projected in the year 1982, to (L) Dr. R.S. Lyngdoh, the then Speaker of Meghalaya Legislative Assembly and (L) Mr. Peter Marbaniang, the then Education Minister, who happened to come to Sohra at that time. The two far-sighted leaders of our state promptly gave the assurances that the government would extend its helping hand but only on one condition, that the initiative should be taken by the people of the area themselves.
