Rayburn College was initially established as Higher Secondary School in the year 1994. From 2003 it was upgraded to College with a vision to achieve academic and spiritual excellence and to cater to the unique needs of the remote and backward tribal people of Southern Manipur. The College is named after Dr Robert G. Rayburn who had inspired the founders of this college towards the need for high-quality Christ-centered and community- centered education in our country.

The College is situated at a distance of 62 kilometers from the State capital in the urban area of Churachandpur District of Manipur. It is attended by students from Schedule Tribe and Backward Class of the state. The area of the present College campus is approximately 5.5 acres. The building is H-shaped four-storied buildings with a total built-up area of 21, 720 square meter which housed classrooms, laboratory rooms, mini auditorium, library, offices, etc.
