Known as the land of the red river and blue hills,
Assam is one of the seven states of
Northeast India. Assam is the gateway to the Northeast. The capital of this beautiful state is Dispur. The

is headed by a Deputy Commissioner who is over all in-charge of the administration in that particular

the law and order situation in the district. As the Collector he is the Chief Revenue Officer of the district,
responsible for revenue collection and recovery. The Police administration in the district is under the
