Key Highlights

About the Organization

The District Commissioner’s office in Golaghat plays a pivotal role in the administration and governance of the Golaghat district in Assam. As part of the state government’s administrative machinery, the Deputy Commissioner (DC) is responsible for maintaining law and order, revenue administration, and implementing various government schemes and development programs at the district level. The Gaon Pradhans, formerly known as Gaon Burhas, are crucial village-level functionaries who act as the “eyes and ears” of the district administration, assisting in grassroots governance, land management, revenue collection, and facilitating government outreach. The role of Gaon Pradhans was officially changed from Gaon Burha in 2021 as part of reforms to modernize and expand their responsibilities in local governance.
