Till the year 2007, there was no institution of Higher Education at Dhuliyan.In the year 1999, a group of enthusiasts and social workers, under the guidance of Abul Hasnat Khan vowed to mitigate the suffering of student-community by setting up a degree college that will go a long way in bringing higher education to their door step.

An Organizing Committee was formed in presence of the then District Magistrate, S.D.O, representatives of Dhuliyan Municipality and samserganj Block, M.P, Jangipur constituency, M.L.A and people of Dhuliyan, in a ‘Nagarik Convention’ held on 17.05.1999. The organizing Committee started working with the single aim to translate the idea of establishing a college into reality. ‘Nur Family’- eminent merchant in the sector of manufacturing Bidi came forward with a broad heart and promised to pay a large sum for initial expenditure. Accordingly the college was named after “Nur Mohammad”, their departed father who was also a social worker and a person interested in education.

The total population of Samserganj Block is 2,11,844 nos out of which 81.22% population belongs to Muslim Community ,18.75% belongs to Hindu Community and 0.03% belongs to other Communities Dhuliyan Municipality is adjacent to this Block with 72850 nos of population where also more than 70% population is belonging to Muslim Community. Literacy rate in this Block is very poor (Male- 38.09%, Female- 22.90% & average is 30.55%), Block is lacking proper education facility especially in Higher Education Sector.
