Majuli district is situated on Majuli, the largest river island in the world, in the Brahmaputra River in Northeastern Assam. It is also the first island district of the country.
On September 8, 2016, an additional district was announced by Sarbananda Sonowal, taking the total number from 32 to 33 after Majuli was carved out of the Northern parts of Jorhat.
Majuli is the biggest river island in the world. It is the biggest district island in the country and is quite close to Jorhat.
The main industry is agriculture, with paddy being the chief crop. Majuli has a rich and diverse agricultural tradition, with as many as 100 rice varieties grown, all without pesticides or artificial fertilizers.
Handloom is a major occupation among the distaff population of the villages. Although largely a non-commercial occupation, it keeps many of the inhabitants occupied. Weaving is exquisite and intricate with various colors and textures of cotton and silk, especially Muga silk.
Among the fascinating arrays of rice produced are the Komal Saul, a unique type that can be eaten after immersing the grains in warm water for 15 minutes and is usually eaten as a breakfast cereal; the bao dhan, which grows under water and is harvested after ten months and the Bora saul, a sticky brown rice used to make the traditional cake known as pitha. Fishing, dairying, pottery, handloom, and boat-making are other important economic activities
