Dibrugarh University, Dibrugarh, Assam proposes to set up a “Centre for Tea and Agro Studies” on its campus with effect from early 2007.The idea of the proposed Centre has evolved through a process of wider consultation with the industry of the state represented by personnel from prominent tea industries of this region. It goes without saying that the economy of the state depends primarily on tea apart from oil and the tea industry has for nearly two centuries now been contributing immensely to the economy as well its socio cultural life.
