'Assam Diaries'  A  Beginning To Explore                  Diary is a wealth of our memories. It is not only a bunch of documentation but also it is a very important for self reflection. As a student of social work we are placed at Assam for our fieldwork. It is a great opportunity for learning and understand about the society and it's reality. In the medium of this field work we are starting our new journey of social consciousness. But in this process self reflection is very essential for us. In the medium of the blog called 'Assam Diaries' we are opening our experiences as well as our reflections for the society. This blog diary is not only for the universalisation of our thoughts but also its a platform for our  readers to ponder to get a taste of our work.  - Kunal Ramteke Email - ramtekekunal91@gmail.com - Vivian Lopes  Email - lopezvvn@gmail.com - Diasy Monika Kujur  Email - diasykujur@gmail.com
