In a significant move, the Assam government has renamed Karimganj district as ‘Sri Bhoomi.’ Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma announced the decision following a Cabinet meeting. This renaming follows a series of similar changes to village names in the state.
“Over a 100 years ago, Kabiguru Rabindranath Tagore had described modern day Karimganj District in Assam as ‘Sribhumi’- the land of Maa Lakshmi. Today the #AssamCabinet has fulfilled this long standing demand of our people,” the Chief Minister said in a post on X.
