Chirang district

Chirang district extends across fertile agricultural lands where farmers cultivate rice, mustard, and tea as their primary economic activities and sources of income.

The district emerged from the division of the former Bodo region in 2000, establishing Kajalgaon as its administrative capital to improve local governance.

Multiple ethnic communities, including Bodo, Assamese, and indigenous groups, maintain their traditions through festivals such as Bwisagu and Rongjali Bihu throughout the year.

The transportation network connects villages through regular bus services and auto-rickshaws, linking agricultural areas to markets and educational institutions.

The district shares an international border with Bhutan, facilitating cross-border trade activities and cultural exchanges between the two regions.
