Silchar is the district headquarters of the Cachar district in southern Assam. Silchar, a typical small town, is charming in its own right. The city is surrounded by the Barak river, which adds to its charm. Silchar and a few other nearby towns and villages are known as the Barak Valley because the Barak flows through this region. Silchar is strategically located in the country, connecting the states of Manipur and Mizoram with the rest of the country. As a result, it is a thriving economic center. In addition, the nearby tea gardens also helped to boost Silchar's economy.
