History:

The Kamrup Rural region, or just the Kamrup region (Pron: ækæmˌrəp or ˈkæmˌru: p), is an administrative district in the Indian state of Assam formed by dividing the old Kamrup region into two states in 2003. Present Assam is called Kamrup in many ancient Indian texts. It was also known as Pragjyotishpur because of the star practices (Jyotish Shashtra) that were prevalent in this part of the country at that time. However, "Kamrup" became a prominent name in the later part of history.
