The alluvial sandy river island created by the change of the main stream of the river Brahmaputra and their silt depositions is known as char (Rahman: 2014). According to the State Government of Assam, the sandy area extending in the river Brahmaputra where people can live and cultivate comes under the purview of char (GOA: 1983). An extensive area lies within the river Brahmaputra which are unfit for cultivation due to deserted character.
