Amrit Bhushan Dev Adhikari (1858–1942). Back in 1810 Saka (Shaka era), king of gauripur, Bahadur organised "All Goalpara convention". The hidden agenda behind this was to make Goalpara a Bengali speaking district. But not even the king of Goalpara, Prabhat Chandra Baruah learned of this. Amritbhusan Dev Adhikari was one of the many exponents who threw apart this conspiracy. Amritbhusan Dev Adhikari was a sincere and dedicated person. He wrote regular columns and articles in contemporary magazines of the time like Ba'hi, Abwahan. He was a scholar in Sanskrit literature.

His father, Kathabhusan Dev Adhikari and mother Akashilata belonged to the family of Naraharidev, who had established the Dolgoma Sat'ra. After the demise of his father, ABD Adhikari stayed with his elder brother, Rajendra Bhusan and continued his studies. He went to then Calcutta for higher studies. He took admission in Scottish Church ( then General Assembly Institution), but couldn't complete his graduation due to the sudden death of his brother in his third year.

ABD Adhikari came back to Assam and got a job in Bezbaruah High School Jorhat as assistant headmaster. Thereafter, he joined a newly established High school in Gauripur as assistant headmaster.
