Children

The magazine was first published in 1984 in Assamese language under the editorship of Santanoo Tamuly, who was later offered the Sahitya Akademi Award for Children's Literature in 2012 and National Award for outstanding contribution in science popularization among children in 2010. The magazine stands as the most popular children's magazine for her content and standard. In the last three decades, the magazine produced a good number of reputed writers and set new trends in Assamese children's literature.

The unique characteristic of 'SOFURA' is its cover-design. It is filled with the colourful drawings and paintings of children and the name of the artist also appears at the back page of the contents. This has indeed created a great interest among the children. In the editorial, 'Hope you are well', the editor gives inspiring messages and advises the young generation. Various articles, poems, stories, news items, jokes, letter to the editor etc. are published in this magazine. The editor always stresses on correct spellings for which he follows Chandrakanta Abhidhan- an Assamese dictionary, as well as on uniformity of language. The poems of 'SOFURA' are humorous but have a moral in them. The children can learn amazing facts of science in the science stories.
