Assam is a land having a rich cultural identity of its own. The Assamese culture has been shaped as a result of cultural assimilation of various ethnic and cultural groups, spanning over a period of 2000 years.

Each ethno-cultural system and sub-system have their own distinct identity which are reflected in the form of language, traditional crafts, folklore, festivals, performing arts, cuisine, literature etc.

But, due to the impact of globalisation, proliferation of media and improved communication process, cultures are being rapidly influenced by other popular cultures ultimately resulting in dilution of uniqueness of the same. This phenomenon is not only being considered as invasion but has also given rise to the fear of distinction of our traditional culture in certain parts of our society.

In its mission to nurture and protect the rich cultural tradition of the state, the Government is coming up with new endeavours every day.

The Department of Cultural Affairs has been working relentlessly with the mandate to preserve and promote the living culture of the ethnic, indigenous tribes and communities of the state and also to generate employment in this area along with generating cultural awareness among the people in general globally.

It also lays emphasis on creating favourable environment for cultural exchanges at both the national and international level.
