Morigaon district earned national recognition after District Commissioner Anamika Tewari was named among the country’s top 100 District Magistrates and District Commissioners in a national survey conducted by Fame India magazine for 2026. The listing spotlights Tewari’s administrative leadership and places Morigaon in the national conversation on effective district governance.
A 1997-batch senior administrative officer, Tewari has led development and public administration efforts in the district since assuming charge. The Fame India acknowledgement cites her contributions to governance, development initiatives and people-focused administration.
Education has been a major focus for Tewari after several Morigaon schools showed weak performance in the High School Leaving Certificate examinations. She personally visited schools, engaged with students, teachers and parents, and at times joined classroom teaching to strengthen the academic environment and boost outcomes.
Tewari has also prioritized farmer welfare by promoting modern agricultural practices and supporting schemes aimed at improving livelihoods. Her administration has encouraged women’s economic empowerment through backing women-led self-help groups and initiatives designed to increase financial independence.
Her often-quoted message — “Assamese women never give up” — has resonated across the district and become a rallying cry for many local women. Residents and local leaders say the phrase reflects her public outreach and motivational approach.
The national recognition is being celebrated not only as an individual honour for Tewari but also as a source of pride for Morigaon district. Observers note that her model of transparent, accountable and people-centric administration could inspire younger generations to consider careers in public service and local leadership.
