Nisangram
Nisangram – nestled in the Northeastern state of Assam’s Goalpara district is a village of untouched, rustic beauty. It is a place where ‘Nature Meets History.’ A picturesque Garo village that brims with rustic natural beauty, rich heritage, delicious seasonal produce and mouth-watering ethnic delicacies. It is a place away from the humdrums of busy life. A place to relax, rechange and reinvigorate. Earlier known as “Matmaeram” it is situated close to the Meghalaya border. It was later re-christened as “Nisangram”. It is derived from a high and distinctive flag once installed in the village.
In 1864 a school for Garo children was established here.“Everyone is literate in this village” – says Lakshman Chandra Momin, Retd. Teacher, B.N Union L.P School.
Later on, Rev. Rakho, a religious reformer first came and settled in this village. This area then came to be known as ‘Christian Fara’ meaning a village of Christians.
