The great river Brahmaputra covers 800 km across the length of Assam and virtually dividing the state into two halves. It touches through 19 districts of Assam and gives birth of Chars and Chapories in 14 districts as Barpeta, Bongaigaon, Darrang, Dhemaji, Dhubri, Goalpara, Jorhat Kamrup, Lakhimpur, Morigaon Nagaon, Nalbari, and Sonitpur, Tinsukia. According to the Socio-Economic Survey Report 2002-2003, the total Char-Chaporiareas of Assam consist about 3,60,927 hectares in which 2,42,277 hectares are cultivable and 1,18,650 hectares are uncultivable.The governments of Assam have introduced various measures for socio-economic development of char-chapories. But all these measures have no yield proper result due to various short comings related to their miss-implementation. The proposed study focusses only on status and changing trend of rice cultivation among major food grains production in Assam which completely depends on secondary sources of data.
