Abstract

Majuli was once the largest river islands and the cultural home of the Asomiya community. Today, repeated floods of the Brahmaputra have ensured that the community has lost home and hearth to erosion. This is the report on the first round of relief carried out in Majuli on 25th and 26th August 2007 by the Disater Relief Committee, Shillong.
