Dr Sukha Baruah, founder Principal of Moran Mahila Mahividlaya, the pioneer institution for higher education of the women was established by Dr Sukha Baruah in the year 1992. A woman with a vision to empower women, she thought that society can progress only if we are able to educate women. As she was working in a government recognized girl’s school, she could see the plight of the girl students who couldn’t avail higher education due to various reasons. After a careful grassroot level analysis spanning for a few years, she could realize that a college particularly for the girls will serve the purpose. So, she left her job, pursued her dream single handedly and with the able support of like minded people of the locality and society at large she was able to start Moran Mahila Mahividlaya in the midst of Moran Town. She offered her services as Principal of the college for continuous 21 years without taking remuneration till the year 2013. She left for heavenly abode on 3rd September 2023.
In memory of her contribution to the upliftment and empowerment of women, specially in the area of education, we the the family members ably encouraged and supported by our father Shri Binanda Chandra Baruah, Retd. Inspector of Schools, instituted two awards of Merit Scholarships; 01 for the student securing highest marks in Higher Secondary (HS) Final Examination and 01 for the student securing highest marks in Degree Final Examination.
The Merit Scholarships comprises of a citation and a cash amount of Rs. 10,000/- each. We believe that this initiate of our Family Members will provide encouragement to the students of the college to strive for achieving more.
These 02 Merit Scholarships will be awarded annually to 02 meritorious students of Moran Mahila Mahividlaya.
The first 02 Merit Scholarships were presented to Miss Pankhi Priya Gogoi for securing the highest marks amongst the degree students and Miss Bristimoyee Changmai for for securing the highest marks amongst the HS students on 23rd August 2024.
The awards were presented by Dr Shyamal Baruah, Eldest Son and Mrs Mausumi Baruah, Eldest Daughter-in-law in a function organized at Moran Mahila Mahividlaya in which the Mrs Joyshree Phukan, Principal and Dr. Rajendra Prasad Borthakur, President, Governing Body of Moran Mahila Mahividlaya were also present.

Such encouraging words motivate to continue…Thanks.
