General Information

In ancient days, Assam was called as Kamarupa and many dynasties including the Varmanas, Salstambhas and Kamarupa Palas ruled this place. It was ruled by Ahoms for about 600 years and all the attempts of the Mughals to capture the place failed. When the Assamese army was defeated by the Burmese army in 1822, it came under the conrol of the Burmese province. After the First Anglo-Burmese war in 1824, a part of Assam became a part of the British territory. Little by little the whole of Assam came under British rule. After the Indian independence it became a separate state having 27 districts and with legislature containing 126 seats.

 

Assam, the gateway to North East India, is the largest state in the North-East with a geographical area of 78,438 sq.km. The State has 33 districts, 80 Sub Divisions, 219 blocks, 26395 (25425 inhabited) villages, 382 [Agriculture Development Officer] Circles and 2948 Village Level Extension Workers [VLEWs]. The State has a three-tier system of Panchayats.

Assam is basically an ‘agrarian economy’ as agriculture provides employment to about 53% of the rural population.

Cultivators and agricultural labourers were 9 lakh and 2 lakh respectively.

 

As per Agricultural Census 2010-11, there were 27.20 lakh operational holdings in the State covering an area of about 29.99 lakh ha. The marginal holdings with less than 1 ha of land area accounted for 67% of total holdings and 25.8% of the total operational area of the State. The small holdings between 1 to 2 ha constituted 18.25% of the total holdings and 22.91% of the total operational area.
