There are numerous tribes living in the island, maintaining their folk culture and continuing a tradition that is unique and remarkable. The island is populated by different colourful communities, majority of them abide by the tenets of the Vaishnavite Guru, Saint Srimanta Sankaradeva.

This book titled ‘Majuli: Resources and Challenges’ is an edited volume that gives a comprehensive view of the resources and challenges of Majuli.
