The study centre of Institute of Distance and Open Learning (IDOL), under Gauhati University, Guwahati got permission to run at Kalabari College, Kalabari in the session 2005-2006 and continued till 2018-2019. The students of this locality who were not able to go for higher study in the universities had the opportunity to go for higher study from this study centre of IDOL, GU.  During this period a considerable number of students did masters in arts in various subjects. But from the session 2019-2020, due to some technical reasons the Institute of Distance and Open Learning (IDOL), Gauhati University, Guwahati has stopped running the courses offered by it.
