The government of Assam approved a ₹50 crore grant to preserve the heritage of the Darrang kings of the Koch dynasty, reflecting a strong commitment to safeguarding indigenous history and culture. The initiative focuses on restoring royal sites, monuments, and culturally significant landmarks associated with the Koch rulers. Announced during Mahabir Chilarai Divas, the project also aims to honour the legacy of Mahabir Chilarai, one of Assam’s greatest military leaders. Beyond conservation, the effort seeks to develop the region into a major cultural tourism hub, linking historical preservation with economic and community development.
