Yaatra – Journal of Assamese Literature and Culture
The Dream : The Project
It looked like an impossible dream at the outset. A translation journal of Assamese literature and culture in English! A project with an absolutely nil commercial potentials! But we thought a dream that is not tempered in the anvil of reality would always remain a wistful dream. And Assamese literature & cultural would remain unknown to the outside world. So we decided to proceed.
The Belief :
We always believed that we have really something to present – to showcase from the world of Arts in Assam.
The Mission :
The Mission that was born out of this belief is-
To present before the nation and the world the treasure of contemporary Assamese literature in English Translation;
To popularise Assamese writing and writers in the National scene;
To build bridges of friendship and understanding between people, places, languages, cultures and generations
‘This is a mission of light and beauty. Be a part of it.’

Besides running a valuable reference library, Foundation has been holding small book fairs, organising seminars and workshops regularly and is actively associated with various projects in the state and is publishing regularly.
