The hospitality and patronage of this place is just remarkable and one would love to visit this place again and again.


Despite being the second largest river island in the world Majuli has been facing many problems like erosion, bad communication etc since long time. Floods caused during the rainy season every year, loss lives of inhabitants and properties lagging Majuli back from it's position.


As a result of devastating erosion caused by the Mighty Brahmaputra, the land area of Majuli has been reducing from 1260 sq. km. to 800 sq. km.(approx) now.The Flood control department of Assam, the Brahmaputra Board and the concerned contractors neglecting the needs and aspirations of the people of Majuli have been misusing the government fund totally. The local representative of Majuli is also failing to prevent the corruption.The permanent residents of Majuli have been migrating to other places for which population of Majuli has been decreasing day by day. The number of Satras have also been reducing from 65 to 35 only. Human resources have been diverting their attention from Majuli to other places. If erosion is not controlled by the government, Majuli would be no more in near future.


In addition, the people of Majuli have been suffering from absence e of good medical facilities. Lack of modern technology in the hospitals, patients have to be taken to different places. No blood bank facility is available here as a result of which poor patients suffering from small diseases have to lose their lives failing to take to other modern hospitals located outside.



Being residents and lover of Majuli we have established an NGO named " Abakash Majuli " to work as a pressure group aiming at protecting the geographical shape and size of the Island; cultural, medical, educational and socio-economic condition of the people of it.

Now we cordially request the lovers of Majuli , the state government, the government of India and the UNESCO authority to offer helping hands for protection and preservation of the rich culture of the Island.
