Her doctoral research titled “Constructing an Egalitarian Assamese Society and Nation: A Reading of Early Assamese Cinema (1935–60)” stands as a significant scholarly contribution that thoughtfully examines the intersections of cinema, society, and nation-building in the Assamese context.

The Department also sincerely thanks Prof. Manash P. Goswami, Head, Department of Journalism and Mass Communication, North Eastern Hill University, for serving as the External Examiner and for his valuable academic insights during the evaluation process.

The Department congratulates Dr. Manaswinee Mahanta on this important academic milestone and wishes her continued success in her academic and professional journey ahead.
