About Bigha in Assam

Historical Background in Assam

The Bigha unit has ancient roots in India’s agrarian society and was traditionally used to measure farmland and rural landholdings. Its usage in Assam predates the Mughal and British colonial eras but was formalized during both regimes.

This diversity persists today, resulting in varied Bigha-to-square foot or Bigha-to-acre conversions in Assam and other Indian states.
