Prime Page is a small independent website based in Guwahati, Assam. We write about farming, rural life, science, health, history, culture, technology and travel, mostly from Assam and the rest of North-East India.
Why we started
A lot of useful information about our region is hard to get at. Some of it sits in research papers and government circulars, some in old books, and some only in the memory of farmers, teachers and elders. When it is written down, it is often in technical language.
We started Prime Page to put that information in one place and explain it in plain words. We write for students, farmers, small shop owners, travellers and anyone else who wants to understand how things work here.
What you will find here
Most of our articles are practical guides and plain-language explainers. We also publish photo stories with the story behind each picture, travel guides and first-hand travel accounts, and articles in Assamese (অসমীয়া) on farming, nutrition and traditional knowledge. The articles are grouped into these topics:
Practical, research-based guides on crops, soil, weather and livestock for farmers in Assam and India.
Livelihoods, self-help groups, rural enterprise and government schemes that support village communities.
Science and health explained in plain language, from rivers and earthquakes to medicines and nutrition.
The history, people, languages, music and festivals of Assam and North-East India.
Step-by-step guides to everyday technology, money management and running a small business.
Study tips, exam preparation and advice for students and young people.
Travel guides to Assam and North-East India, with seasons, permits and budget tips.
Original photographs from Assam and North-East India, with the story and the science behind each picture.
অসমীয়া ভাষাত কৃষি, স্বাস্থ্য, পুষ্টি আৰু ঐতিহ্য সম্পৰ্কীয় প্ৰবন্ধ।
How we write
Every article is written and checked by people before it goes online. We work from reliable sources such as research institutions, government departments, official statistics and published studies, and we list the main sources at the end of the article so that you can check them yourself.
Each article shows the date it was published. When a scheme, rule or figure changes, we update the article. Articles on health, medicinal plants, pesticides and similar subjects carry safety notes, because a mistake there can hurt someone.
Photographs are our own or used with permission, and we credit the photographer where we know the name.
Our independence
Prime Page is free to read. We choose what to write about ourselves. We do not publish paid articles, and we do not take money in return for coverage.
