As of 2024, there were at least two translations of the [[Tirukkural]] available in [[Assamese language|Assamese]].<br />
<br />
==History of translations==<br />
The Kural text was translated into Assamese for the first time in 2012 by Malini Goswami, former vice-chancellor of [[Gauhati University]].<ref name="ValaiTamilPub"/>{{Rp|p=30}}<ref name="Polilan2019">{{cite book |editor1= Polilan|editor2=K.

However, the first attempt to translate the text was initiated more than a decade earlier by former [[President of India]] [[A. P. J. Abdul Kalam]]. When his book ''Wings of Fire'' was translated into Assamese by Suresh Sharma, Kalam requested Sharma to translate the Kural into Assamese. However, the attempt did not come to fruition.<ref name="ValaiTamilPub">{{cite book|last1=Parthasarathy|first1=Sa.|last2=Ashraf|first2=N.V.K.|last3=Rajendiran|first3=C.|last4=Thangavelu|first4=Elangovan|last5=Duraisamy|first5=Senthilselvan|last6=Selvan|first6=Ajey Kumar|title=Thirukkural Translations in World Languages|year=2023|publisher=ValaiTamil Publications|location= Chennai}}</ref>{{Rp|p=30}}<br />

Within a few years following Goswami's translation, another translation was initiated by the [[Central Institute of Classical Tamil]] (CICT). The second translation was made by B. Vijayakumar, which was published by the CICT in 2023.<ref name="ValaiTamilPub"/>{{Rp|p=30}} This translation was released by [[Prime Minister of India|Indian Prime Minister]] [[Narendra Modi]] in December 2023.<ref name="ValaiTamilPub"/>{{Rp|p=31}}<br />
