About: The AssamKart is online e-book shopping site from Assam which would sell Anuradha Sarma Puzari and Dr Bhabendra Nath Saikia’s e-books. The programmers of the site also have plans to include the e-versions of Dr Mamoni Raisom Goswami's books and the works of other eminent litterateurs of Assam. The main objective is to take the excellent works of Assamese writers to the international platform and also to promote book reading habit among the younger generation who have access to computers and Internet.

Developer: The project is a brainchild of Navanita Hazarika who, along with Bikash Kalita, decided to implement the idea of launching the e-versions of Assamese literature through the website.

Launch: The site was launched on October 1, 2011 by Preeti Saikia, wife of Dr Bhabendra Nath Saikia. Speaking at the launch ceremony, eminent writer Anuradha Sarma Puzari lauded the efforts made by the persons behind the conception and implementations of the idea. “Many Assamese people who live abroad want to read Assamese books. But, carrying away those books in flight or even through courier is inconvenient and also expensive. The e-books of AssamKart would definitely solve their problem,” Puzari said. Sadananda Gogoi, singer, composer and secretary of Prakashan Parishad, while expressing his views, said that technical developments have made life easier for people and assumes people should not lag behind. He also said that in October 2013, the Prakashan Parishad would bring out 20 volumes of Bezbaruah Rachanawali in English and Assamese languages.
