Hornbill festival is one of the most popular festival of Northeast India, known as the “Festival of Festival’s” hornbill over the period of time has helped rest of the country to realize that the most neglected part of the nation has some story to tell. Not only national, the international turnouts amazed me as well. While me and my friends were preparing for the festival, my family members were a bit worried about how the place is going to be like. They never explored those places but still had a notion that those places are not so safe. I had no option but to ignore them (with due respect) and hence started packing my bag.                                           So, I stated from Guwahati on 1 st of December and took a break at one of my most favorite place ( you can say my other home, Lumding) , we had a 2 nights and 3 days package and managed to reach Dimapur by 5am on 2 nd of December. Without wasting much time and we started for Kisama ( Naga Heritage Village). Kisa

The newly constructed Barsapara stadium has witnessed one of the finest match people could ever imagine. Chasing 323 wasn’t easy but the class and elegance of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma was enough to reach that target within just 42 nd over of the Indian innings. The pitch helped the batsmen and there was nothing much for the bowlers to do and as a result the spectators of Guwahati witnessed three centuries in a match. Before the start of the match, I had an interaction with former West Indies Cricketer Daren Ganga.  He was a right-handed top order batsman and part-time right-arm offbreak bowler. He played 48 test matches and 35 ODI for West Indies. Hi Daren, welcome to Guwahati. How are you feeling after visiting here? Oh, feeling great. It’s a beautiful looking stadium, the stands reminds me of Barcelona stands, beautifully decorated and great weather to play cricket. The pitch looks good as well, not sure if bowlers are going to get something out of it but I fee

Later Rohit Sharma finished things off in style for India, he scored 152 off just 117 balls. Virat Kohli was adjusted the man of the match for his 140 off just 107 balls. Earlier India won the toss and elected to field first, Virat mentioned that there was a bit of grass on the field and there will also be dew in the later part of the innings which will be helpful for the batsmen. Rishabh Pant made his ODI debut in the matc

Public Relations and Cricket are two different things, but Public Relation in Cricket is the need of an hour for Assam Cricket. Cricket is a widely played sport in India, we have been playing it much before our independence as well. India played the first test cricket in 1932, which means 15 years before the independence but there are a few states in India that lacks the intensity to develop a cricketer who can represent the nation. Assam is one of them,  there are players who have represented the state in Ranji Trophy, represented East Zone and various other National tournaments. Then why not the national side? Public Relations play an important role to develop an image of any particular brand or organization. If we think of those state in India who has done excellence in Cricket, the states which will always remain in the top of our mind are Maharastra, Delhi, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Punjab etc. It’s not because those state has produced legends like Sachin Tendulkar, Virat

Media monitoring is one of the most essential part of Public Relations and Social Media. Monitoring the media helps you understand what the impact of your company has on your customers and the public. Monitoring media can help analyse all aspects of your company’s media image, and can help you obtain headlines and stay on top of the news in your industry. You can discover what works, what isn’t working, and exactly what your customers are saying.

In Social Media, the landscape has undergone a huge transformation in the last couple of years. Brands have gradually increased awareness regarding the importance of monitoring what their target audience says about them in the online environment. From a PR perspective, social media has always been perceived as an amazing tool of free publicity that allows direct communication with the target audie

The Bengali Language Movement in Barak Valley, Assam was a protest against the decision of the Government of Assam to make Assamese the only official language of the state even though a significant proportion of population were Bengali-speaking. In the Barak Valley, the Bengali speaking population constitute majority. The main incident, in which 11 people were killed by State police, took place on 19 May 1961 at Silchar railway station.

Tensions ran high in the Brahmaputra Valley, where mob violence broke out. The violence reached its peak between July and September, during which an estimated 50,000 Bengali Hindus fled the Brahmaputra Valley and arrived in West Bengal. Another 90,000 fled to Barak Valley and other regions of the North East. On 10 October 1960, Bimala Prasad Chaliha, the then Chief Minister of Assam presented a bill
