“Teesta University is named after the Teesta River, which flows through Bangladesh and India and is a vital source of water and livelihood for millions of people. The river also symbolizes the potential for cooperation and development in the region, as well as the challenges of environmental conservation and social justice. Our university aims to reflect these values and aspirations in its academic programs, research activities, and community engagement.

We are grateful for the support and guidance of the government, the University Grants Commission, and other stakeholders who have helped us realize our dream of establishing Teesta University. We are also proud of our partnerships with national and international organizations, institutions, and experts who have contributed to our academic development and quality assurance. We look forward to expand our network of collaboration and exchange in the future.

The University is committed to advancing knowledge transfer, innovating new knowledge, building skilled manpower and eliminating regional educational disparities.
