The annual floods in Assam’s Bihagaon Chapori continue to devastate lives, forcing residents into a relentless cycle of displacement and rebuilding. On July 2, 2024, Muklesa Parveen struggled to evacuate her one-room hut as floodwaters surged three feet, collapsing part of her home. With her husband 3,500 kilometers away for work, Parveen relied on neighbors for rescue. Like other villages along the Jia Bharali riverbanks, Bihagaon Chapori faces multiple floods each year, causing widespread crop destruction and migration. As one of India’s most flood-prone states, Assam’s chapori and char regions remain highly vulnerable to erosion and extreme weather, leaving residents with few local economic opportunities.
