Maybe flowers can help.

Maybe some unknown hybrid.

As I am doing my project work on documenting the hydrophytic plants I only choose those plants that are purely wild. As per your suggestion I will surely visit the place at regular intervals to find its flowers. Thank you very much everyone.

It looks very difficult to me, in rare cases ever I have tried to identify a plant without any flower or fruit.

Yes, it can be Sagittaria. -

One species have floating leaves, but leaves are more ovate - https://groups.google.com/g/indiantreepix/c/85qq38Cm5iA/m/1QmTNsyNSBsJ

Another species features leaves rising above water - https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/a/alismataceae/sagittaria/sagittaria-trifolia, but you may have instances like the one, in the same eFI page, submitted here - https://08511630493324166816.googlegroups.com/attach/c2f0cb5e5f2e5674/Sagittaria%20sagittifolia2.JPG?part=0.2&view=1&vt=ANaJVrGYLpPi7POe1yTNsM9-eDBZyaETO-_yrTxOeNmMZ1FXULchVsMuKyUwFdKUMNqkhapANpyZilnkEvsrc8XwL2XrFXQdLH_5p4IOvPaD4zAaMaHGETE

ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE yet MAYBE PROBABLE :

One Caldesia oligococca (F.Muell.) Buchenau (Alisma oligococcum, "rare in central Bengal" of "Bengal Plants"), having variable leaf-blade, has been reported from Assam.

Thank you.

Best regards,
