Members of Assam Society of America (ASA) had always felt the need for a federally recognized non-profit organization to facilitate and invigorate the charitable activities that its members take. ASA itself was registered as a New Jersey non-profit a few years ago, by its then President Dr. Sanjib Bhuyan.

In addition, ASA wanted to keep its options open regarding the kinds of activities in which it can potentially participate in the future.
