About Us
Chandra Kamal Bezbaruah College, Teok is located by the side of the National Highway No. 715 at about 25 Kms. east of Jorhat town. The word Teok comes from the Tai language which means abundance of milk and ghee. This large belt of the eastern part of Jorhat district is mostly inhabited by small agriculturalists and tea garden labourers. A large part of the population of neighbouring areas of the college belongs to Scheduled Castes and Plain Tribe of the Mising community. C.K.B College, Teok is almost at an equidistance from Jorhat and Sivasagar. It is well connected by bus from both the towns. Three sides of the college are surrounded by beautiful tea gardens. The college has about 100 bighas (approximately 33.33 acres) of land out of which about 35% land is covered by valuable trees. Thus, the natural environment of the college can be compared with an ancient Indian Ashram.
