Under the system MOVEMENT each tribal khuntkattidar paid some amount of land produce to the respective tribal chief for his maintenance, which was not a legal, but moral requirement. th Bipul Kumar In the middle of the 18 century the communitarian tribal system was thrown open to outside influences thereby ending the isolation (Dhan cited in Rekhi Abstract 1988: 60). Things began to change after Munda and Oraon tribal communities jointly selected a common leader or ‘Raja’. He was given voluntary contribution in kind and a few days of labour every year by the people Jharkhand has been a movement much talked about in the media (Ekka1972: 425). People from outside the region were brought into the area and academic circles. The movement began as protest against the by the raja for military and religious purposes. The raja made land grants to outsiders’ intrusion in the tribal area and the exploitation meted out to the Brahmins who played a major role in legitimising his role (Sengupta the tribal people largely by British colonialism.

    GOVERNMENT OF ASSAM BUDGET MANUAL UPDATED : 2012 FINANCE (BUDGET) DEPARTMENT DISPUR Report of the Committee The Government of Assam constituted a Committee under the Chairmanship of Shri S.C. Das, IAS, Chairman, ASEB vide Notification No. FEA 84/2007/Pt/24 dated 19th November, 2010 (Annexure 0.1) for revising the Budget Manual. Shri Vishal Solanki, IAS, Joint Secretary, Finance Department and Shri R.K. Buzarbaruah, AFS, Director, Finance (Budget) Department were other members of the Committee. The Committee held total 09 sittings. As the Committee started its functioning only in April, 2011, its term was extended thrice up to 31th October, 2011. The Committee referred to the existing Budget Manual of Government of Assam as well as Budget Manual of Government of India. Though the Committee was asked to finalise the updated Budget Manual, the Committee was of the view that the updated Manual will not meet the present requirements and it needs a thorough review as the existing Manual is in force since 1932. Therefore, the Committee has attempted a comprehensive revision of the entire manual to make it more relevant and updated. 2. Budget Manual is a compendium of general provisions and procedures relating to Budget making to be followed by all offices in the State Government who are involved in the budgeting exercise and dealing with matters relating to Budget as well as management and control of expenditure. This Manual is an attempt to cover the existing void faced hitherto due to the lack of a comprehensive guidebook on the subject matter of Budget process in the State Government.

  • Honourable Speaker Sir, I Rise to Present the Budget Estimates for The
    Honourable Speaker Sir, I rise to present the budget estimates for the financial year 2012-13. 1. Economic environment : 1.1 Before I proceed to present my budget proposals, I would like to apprise the Honourable Members of this august House about the overall economic environment and financial position of the State. 1.2 The growth rate of GSDP in the State during the 9 th Plan period was 1.51 % which increased to 5.33% during the 10 th Plan period. Due to special developmental initiatives of our Government the State has been able to achieve an annual average growth rate of 6.86% during the 11 th Plan period and is expecting a growth rate of 8.42% (advance estimates) by the end of the 11 th Five Year Plan. If we can maintain the present trend of accelerated growth rate with the help of the multiplier effects of progress already achieved, then we can hope for a projected growth rate of around 9.38% during the 12th Plan period. Agricultural growth rate of the State was negative during the 9 th Plan period. This improved steadily during the 10 th and 11 th Plans. With projected average growth rate of 4.81%, we have been able to achieve the national target of 4% agricultural growth rate during the 11 th Plan. This achievement is all the more remarkable if we take into account the fact that the actual projected national growth rate of agriculture during the 11 th Plan period is 3.06% against the target of 4%.

Undoing Historical Wrongs: Law and Indigeneity in India Abstract Beginning with a close look at a recent call by the Supreme Court of India to undo the historical injustices done to the "original inhabitants" of the country, this paper examines similar calls for justice made by Jaipal Singh Munda, the most vocal representative of Adivasis in the Constituent Assembly of India between December 1946 and January 1950, when both the possibilities and limitations of addressing past injustices were being written into the Constitution of India. While drawing attention to debates and disagreements over righting certain past wrongs that remain largely absent from historical accounts of the Constitution's drafting, this paper also invites reflection on the problematique of addressing calls for reparation made by dispossessed peoples as original inhabitants in modern liberal democracies.
