Silchar lies in southern Assam and is the district headquarters of Cachar district. A quintessential small town, Silchar is beautiful in its own way. The Barak river surrounds the city and enhances the beauty of the place. Since the Barak flows past this area, Silchar and a few other adjoining towns and villages are commonly called the Barak Valley.
Geographically, Silchar is placed strategically where it connects the states of Manipur and Mizoram with the other parts of the country. Due to this, it is an economically vibrant city. Additionally, the adjoining tea gardens have further improved the economy of Silchar. Silchar is also a processing centre for rice, tea and other agricultural products.
