Birangana Sati Sadhani Rajyik Vishwavidyalaya has been established by the Government of Assam under the Birangana Sati Sadhani Rajyik Vishwavidyalaya Act 2020. Prof. Jyoti Prasad Saikia has been appointed as the first Vice Chancellor of the university. The university has been allotted land in Rangajan under Morongi Revenue Circle of Golaghat District. Presently, the office of the Vice Chancellor is run from Golaghat Engineering College premises. The mission and vision of the university are to develop global citizens through a holistic learning process, and endeavouring to turn it into a hub of multidisciplinary research and academic excellence for all its stakeholders.

The mandate of the university is to fulfill the aspirations of a vast demographic, comprising students in pursuit of doctoral research, postgraduate diploma courses, and certificate programs. In offering these courses, the university aims to promote the policies enshrined in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. Therefore, the courses that have been designed are in accordance with the interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary requirements envisioned by the NEP. The university seeks to be research-centric, dedicating its efforts towards research activities (60% against 40% academic pursuits). This aligns with the objectives of the NEP, which anticipates a greater contribution from universities in the realm of research. The university will also offer various professional and vocational courses to equip learners with skill sets necessary to be competent and comfortable in their respective fields. This will significantly help in realizing the goals outlined by the university in its policy manifesto, which aligns with the objectives detailed in NEP 2020.
