I would sincerely like to thank DPRO Kamrup (metro) Mr. Chirajul Hussein and Joint Director of Directorate of information and Public Relation of the State of Assam Mr. B. Bez under whose guidance and direction I was able to complete my project. In my journey I was well supported by many of the organization as well as personnel’s working in Media Industry in Guwahati.

DECLARATION I do hereby solemnly declare that the report – District Media Profile on kamrup has been entirely done by me under the guidance of Mr. Chirajul Hussein, the District Public Relation Officer and Mr. B. Bez, Joint Director Directorate of Information and Public Relation for the state of Assam. This report is entirely drafted by me and has not been submitted to any other institution and has not been published anywhere else. INTRODUCTION The district Kamrup Metro was created bifurcating the old Kamrup district in 3 rd February'2003. The head quarter of the district is Guwahati. Once known as Pragjyotishpur (the light of the East), Guwahati derives its name from the Assamese words “Guwa” means areca nut and “Haat” means market. Guwahati has a magical aura that still lingers over the ever – expanding city. Guwahati today is important because it is the seat of power in Assam, is a major commercial centre and is the node that connects six other North Eastern Indian States of Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Meghalaya and Tripura. Guwahati is situated on the southern bank of the mighty river Brahmaputra River in Assam. It is a fast growing premier city of the region and a gateway to the North-Eastern States of India and a principal centre of socio-cultural, political, industrial and a trade and commerce of the entire region. Dispur, the capital of Assam is a part of Guwahati. Reference of Guwahati could be found in ancient literature of our country. Atop Nilachal Hills, 8km. from the city centre lies the famous Shakti temple of Goddess Kamakhya, one of the 51 Shakti Peeth in the country.

But the newly created district Kamrup Metro conducted its first election only during the 12th Assembly Election of Assam 2006. The head quarter of the district is Guwahati. Guwahati has a magical aura that still lingers over the ever – expanding city. According to a legend, the demon king Narakasura is said to have built this ancient city. Another reason for Guwahati’s charm is it’s being the ancient ‘Kamrup’, the place where the part of the body of goddess Sati falls and which is also the birthplace of Kamdeva, the God of love. Pragjyotishpur also finds frequent mention in the Mahabharata and other Sanskrit epics and mythology. The district once situated midway between two powerful kingdoms: the Ahoms and the Koch. Neither Mughals nor the Koch could maintain power at Guwahati however, and it is better known as the seat of the Borphukan, the civil and military authority of the region appointed by the Ahom King.

The documents referred in the net sites are quoted as told but not gone through by me for their authencity. Every effort has been taken not to leave essential points but to make the reading informative and interesting. Since the subject matter is lengthy and it could not be confined in one or two postings - it may appear lengthy. Hindu Dharma says, “To lead a peaceful life, one must follow the Sastras which are the rules of the almighty that cannot be changed by passage of time(i.e.kruta,thretha,dwapara&kali yuga).The almighty says, “Shruthi smrithi mamaivaagya yaasthaam ullangya varthathe | Aagya chhedi mamadhrrohi math bhaktopi na vaishnavahah||” Which means,vedas and sastras are my commands and one who surpasses these rules have breaken my laws and cannot be considered as my bhakta or a vaishnava.

All these states have the tribal population which gives them the unique identity as compared to the other part of the country. This peculiarity is due to the traditional wealth conserved by the people of this region from ancestors through oral traditions. Folk songs in relation of agriculture are one of the traditional assets for this region. These songs describe the different aspects of nature in general and agriculture in particular for understanding them in a comprehensive way. It simply shows the close liaison of the native people with the natural phenomenon. I appreciate the effort and hardship of the KVK staffs in general and editors of this publication in particular for bringing out such a useful document for the benefit of all the stakeholders working for the prosperity of indigenous people.
