Radha Govinda Baruah (17 October 1900[1] – 15 July[2] 1977[1][2]) was the founder of The Assam Tribune, a group of news papers.

Radha Govinda Baruah, an enterprising person in Dibrugarh, first conceived the idea of launching an English daily.

With some help from his friends and well wishers, he brought out an English weekly newspaper instead of a daily on 4 August 1939 under the editorship of Lakshminath Phookan, former editorial staff of Hindustan Standard, a leading daily of Anand Bazar Group, Kolkata.

He is called "the architect of modern Assam"[1][5] for his being "instrumental in realising the educational needs" of the Assamese people.

[5] In 2000, Baruah was honoured with a postage stamp, part of a series of "Great Leaders : Social and Political" along with Jaglal Choudhary, Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit, and Diwan Bahadur R.
