Recently a team comprised of delegates from the National Mission for Manuscripts and National Informatics Centre visited Majuli islands in Assam to attend a state level workshop on 'Manuscriptology & Preventive Conservation'. The purpose of the visit was to assess the ground realities for launching a digitization program of manuscripts kept in satras. Majuli has been an important religious and cultural hot spot of Assam for nearly five hundred years and a storehouse of a large number of manuscripts.
