From some of the testimonials studied, it has been analysed that the then, Chief Commissioner of Assam, Sir Benfield Fuller felt the need of an institution which requires the grooming of teachers in the land of peace and love i.e. Barak Valley. Thereby, Sir Fuller directed the educational director of Assam to initiate the steps required to fulfil this noble purpose. Finally, on 4thApril 1906, proposal for establishing the Normal School was granted.

Jagannath Deb, School Inspector of Silchar Subdivision, at that time, became the first Assistant Superintendent Raibahadur Agharanath Adhikari had the privilege of becoming the first superintendent of this glorified foundation. Meanwhile Sir Fuller visited the Normal school in the year 2006. He appreciated the workings of this institution by commenting that ? ?Six years have passed since this school was projected by me and I am very pleased indeed to find that it had done exceedingly useful work for education in the Surman Valley?.

From its inception, Guru Training was conceptualised and after a period of time Normal training was introduced which continued till December 2000. After that, JBT training module was projected which began in the year 2005 and ended 2010. Then UPTT program was initiated in 2011 which ended in the same year itself. Finally the D.El.Ed program was implemented in the year2012 and thus has been in progress till now.
