Ram Krishna Nagar State assembly constituency is one of the 126 state legislative assembly constituencies in Assam, India. It is one of the six assembly segments that constitute the Karimganj Lok Sabha constituency.[1] Since 2019, it has been represented by Bijoy Malakar of the Bharatiya Janata Party.
Originally established as Ratabari in 1962, the constituency was redrawn during the 2023 delimitation exercise and was renamed to Ram Krishna Nagar. The reconstituted constituency now includes Ramkrishna Nagar town, and many other rural areas of the Sribhumi district.[2][3]
