GUWAHATI: Assam government today launched the first digital archive of the Northeast at Jyoti Chitraban Film Studio here to preserve films, music, special events, photographs and texts.

"As our chief minister, Sonowal always encourages promotion and preservation of our culture. We are on a mission to fulfill the same," Margherita said.

"I invite all the artistes, producers and even public to submit important archival materials which will be preserved for posterity at the Jyoti Chitraban Digital Archive," he said.

Several noted filmmakers and producers submitted their productions, including films and music, at the launch event.

The event was attended by filmmakers Sanjib Sabhapandit, Charu Kamal Hazarika, Bhupen Kaman, lyricists Gautam Sharma and Abhijit Bhattacharya.
