Several stories featured in this collection have previously received the prestigious All India Katha Award, and Gariyoshi itself has been recognized with the same honor for publishing these exceptional works.
This anthology is dedicated to the cherished memory of Padma Shri awardee and a prominent figure in Assamese journalism, the late Prafulla Govinda Baruah.
The compilation of Gariyoshir Nirbachita Galpa-1 was overseen by Hiranya Kumar Barman on behalf of Sahitya-Prakash. Readers interested in acquiring the book can find it at The Assam Tribune stall (Stall No. 109, third lane from the right) at the ongoing Assam Book Fair in Khanapara.
