As per provisional figure of 2011 census, the total population stood at 10,97,206 registering a growth rate of 23.40 per cent over 2001 census. The sex ratio is 976 females per 1000 males. About 94.48% of the state population belongs to Scheduled Tribe and Scheduled Caste population comprises about 0.11 % of the State’s population. 2. The State economy (GSDP) is projected to grow at about 8.58% during 2013-14 while the national economy (GDP) is projected to grow at 4.9 % during 2013-14. 3. The Per capita income of Mizoram for the year 2011 -2012 is estimated at Rs. 55,886/- as against the previous year’s estimate of Rs. 50,956/-. Per capita income at the national level is Rs. 67,839/- for the year 2012-2013. Per capita income for the year 2012-13 is estimated at Rs 60,836 while the National Per capita income during the same period is estimated at Rs 74,920/- 4. Tertiary/Service sector consti-tuting a share of about 60% of the total GSDP indicates that this sector drives the economy of Mizoram. Both the industry sector contribute about 17% and the agriculture & allied sector contribute about 19% to the GSDP respectively. 5. About 60% of the population depends upon agriculture and allied sector. Share of Agriculture and Allied sector to the economy during the 11th Plan period could be averaged at 14 %. About 32 % of the cultivated area is under Jhum cultivation. Only 31.60 % of the demand for rice could be met within the State. During 2012-13, a total of 1,70,931.80 tonnes of rice was lifted by the State Government from outside. 6. Annual Inflation measured from Consumer Price Index shows 7.92 % increase in September 2013. (The Consumer Price Index has been constructed for Mizoram State with 1999 as base year. Thus, Annual Report rate has been calculated from Consumer Price Index instead of wholesale Price Index). 7. The existing area under various horticulture crops accounts for 1.21 lakhs ha. which is only about 10.46% of the estimated potential area of 11.56 lakhs ha. Floriculture and horticulture has gained momentum and shown improvement in production. 8. The fish production during 2012-13 was 5600 MT. While the potential culture fisheries resources in the State is estimated to be 24,000 Ha., Economic Survey Mizoram 2013-14 ii only 18.75% of the available resource (4500Ha) has been developed for fish farming which could offer only 38% of the table size fish requirement leaving a gap of 62%. 9. Based on “India State of Forest Report- 2011’ published by Forest Survey of India, Dehradun about 90.68% of the State’s total geographical area is covered under forests. The state has 12,897 Sq.km open forests. At present, notified forests(reserved/protected forests) constitute about 38% of the geographical area and even most of these are open, degraded and subject to pressure of shifting cultivation, encroachments, fire,illicit felling etc. 10. Mizoram has abundant natural bamboo resources which covers 31% (6446 sqkm) of its geographical area and as many as 35 species of bamboo have been identified in the State. 11. There is an estimated growing stock of 25.26 million metric tonnes of bamboo in in the State. 12. Mizoram is still on its way to achieving the National Norm of Water3 towns in Mizoram 12 towns have been brought under fully covered status (below 70 lpcd) and 3 towns are non-covered. At present 741 habitations comes under fully covered status and 36 habitations comes under partially covered status. It is encouraging that all the 777 habitations have now been brought under FC & PC. 13. There are 370 Health Sub Centre, 57 PHC and 12 CHC. About 25.2 % of children (0-3yrs) are malnourished. The Infant Mortality rate (IMR) based on CRS 2009 stood at 33.67 per 1000 while it is 33 per 1000 based on CRS 2008.

The teacher-pupil ratio in the state is estimated at 1:19 for Primary School, 1:9 for Middle School, 1:9 students for High School and 1:15 for Higher Secondary schools. As per reconstructed Cohort method the drop out rate during 2012-13 has been calculated as 8.8% for Primary School, 1.7% for Middle School and 2.2% for High School. As per Apparent Cohort Method drop out rate is calculated as - Primary School (I-IV) -31.26%; Middle School (I-VIII)-38.26%; High School (I-X) -45.68%. Economic Survey Mizoram 2013-14 iii 15. Industrial Development in Mizoram could be considered to have started lately in 1990’s after attaining statehood. “Micro and Small Industries are the only industries in the State. “Entrepreneurs in Mizoram are of first generation and the State could be still described as “No Industry Zone” due to absence of large or medium industries. Upto 2012-13 there are 8,341 nos small scale industries registered. 16. In spite of abundant hydro-electric power potential available in the State (4500.0MW), only 0.66% of

    Evaluation of Price Support and Market Intervention Scheme: a Brief Report on Mizoram

    Evaluation of Price Support and Market Intervention Scheme: A Brief Report on Mizoram 1.1 Introduction Mizoram is a small hilly state located in the north east corner of India. Geographically, it lies between the East longitudes 92º15' to 93º29' and the North Latitudes 21º58' to 24º35'. More than 60 % of the total work force of the state inhabit in more than 830 villages spread over the mountain landscape from low hills to high mountain areas. Mizoram, as a whole, receives an evenly-distributed average rainfall of about 3,000 mm with 2,380 mm in Aizawl town and 3,178 mm in Lunglei. The dominant features of hill and mountain farming in Mizoram are small land holdings, sloping marginal farmlands and cultivation under rainfed farming. Agriculture occupies a very important place in the economy of Mizoram. The age- old practice of Jhum cultivation is being followed by a large number of people living in rural areas. As per economic classification of workers (2001 census), about 60 per cent of the total workers are engaged in Agricultural and allied sector. Paddy is the principal food crop grown in the state, which happens to be the staple food of the Mizos. As against the estimated requirement of around 2, 00,000 MT per year, the rice production in the State is still very meager (75,563 MT, 2011-12). Agricultural production is closely linked up with adequate marketing support. The development of agricultural economy of the State therefore, cannot be thought of without an efficient agricultural marketing system. To protect the interest of the farmers, Market Intervention Scheme (MIS) for ginger and chilli was implemented long back.

The Project road alignment passes through frequently cultivated degraded jhumland. It crosses the existing BRO roads, namely, Lawngtlai to Diltlang Parva road at one point and Nalkawn Chamdur Valley road at four points. The road, proposed to be of double – lane NH standard is of length 99.830 km. The road also passes through the villages of Saizawh East and Zochachhuah. The location of this proposed trade route has been shown in Map 2.1 . About 17.88 % length of the road passes through private land , 75.76% passes through degraded jhumland and 6.36 % pass through forest land. The road passes through mainly two villages ,viz Saizawh East and Zochachhuah. 2.2 Proposed Road Segments The road has been divided into four homogeneous segments I, II, III and IV with respect to physical features as given in following table Table2.1: Project road segments Location in chainages Type of Terrain Major River crossing Length Segment Name of Location From To (km) Hilly Steep River at km Lawngtlai Leichhekawn Segment-I (0.00) (40.980) 40.980 4.098 36.882 Ruankhum 34.634 Leichhekawn R.Ngengpui Segment-II (40.980) (56.500) 15.520 9.1568 6.3632 Ngengpui 56.500 Darnam R.Ngengpui Saddle Segment-III

Carrying capacity is a concept that has been extensively applied in tourism and leisure studies since the 1960s, but its appearance can be date back to the 1930s. It may be viewed as an important thought in the eventual emergence of sustainability discussion, it has become less important in recent years as sustainability and its associated concepts have come to dominate planning on the management of tourism and its impacts. But the study of carrying capacity analysis is still an important tool to know the potentiality and future impact in tourism sector. Thus, up to some extent carrying capacity analysis is important study for tourist destinations and states like Mizoram. Mizoram is a small and young state with few thousands of visitors that visit the state every year.

    China, India, and Myanmar: Playing Rohingya Roulette?

    CHAPTER 4 China, India, and Myanmar: Playing Rohingya Roulette? Hossain Ahmed Taufiq INTRODUCTION It is no secret that both China and India compete for superpower standing in the Asian continent and beyond. Both consider South Asia and Southeast Asia as their power-play pivots. Myanmar, which lies between these two Asian giants, displays the same strategic importance for China and India, geopolitically and geoeconomically. Interestingly, however, both countries can be found on the same page when it comes to the Rohingya crisis in Myanmar’s Rakhine state. As the Myanmar army (the Tatmadaw) crackdown pushed more than 600,000 Rohingya refugees into Bangladesh, Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi’s government was vociferously denounced by the Western and Islamic countries.1 By contrast, China and India strongly sup- ported her beleaguered military-backed government, even as Bangladesh, a country both invest in heavily, particularly on a competitive basis, has sought each to soften Myanmar’s Rohingya crackdown and ease a medi- ated refugee solution.

Since the Myanmar military seized power in September 1988, both the Asian pow- ers endeavoured to expand their influence in the reconfigured Myanmar to protect their national interests, including heavy investments in Myanmar, particularly in the Rakhine state.

  • Beyond Labor History's Comfort Zone? Labor Regimes in Northeast

    Beyond Labor History's Comfort Zone? Labor Regimes in Northeast

    Chapter 9 Beyond Labor History’s Comfort Zone? Labor Regimes in Northeast India, from the Nineteenth to the Twenty-First Century Willem van Schendel 1 Introduction What is global labor history about? The turn toward a world-historical under- standing of labor relations has upset the traditional toolbox of labor histori- ans. Conventional concepts turn out to be insufficient to grasp the dizzying array and transmutations of labor relations beyond the North Atlantic region and the industrial world. Attempts to force these historical complexities into a conceptual straitjacket based on methodological nationalism and Eurocentric schemas typically fail.1 A truly “global” labor history needs to feel its way toward new perspectives and concepts. In his Workers of the World (2008), Marcel van der Linden pro- vides us with an excellent account of the theoretical and methodological chal- lenges ahead. He makes it very clear that labor historians need to leave their comfort zone. The task at hand is not to retreat into a further tightening of the theoretical rigging: “we should resist the temptation of an ‘empirically empty Grand Theory’ (to borrow C. Wright Mills’s expression); instead, we need to de- rive more accurate typologies from careful empirical study of labor relations.”2 This requires us to place “all historical processes in a larger context, no matter how geographically ‘small’ these processes are.”3 This chapter seeks to contribute to a more globalized labor history by con- sidering such “small” labor processes in a mountainous region of Asia. My aim is to show how these processes challenge us to explore beyond the comfort zone of “labor history,” and perhaps even beyond that of “global labor history” * International Institute of Social History and University of Amsterdam.

    KAF Study On: State Level Reforms - Increasing Investments in North East

    FICCI – KAF Study on: State Level Reforms - Increasing Investments in North East Background Research Draft Report – August 2012 1 | P a g e Acknowledgement FICCI would like to express its gratitude to Konrad Adenauer Foundation (KAF) for selecting FICCI as a partner institution in this very significant project. The Economic Affairs and Research Team at FICCI would also like to express its sincere gratitude to the management and representatives of the different associations/ clusters for providing great support and valuable inputs in the preparation of this report. The team benefitted significantly from the discussions with other individual industry members also. Further, we extend our heartfelt thanks to all the industry representatives from various parts of the north east region that actively participated in the questionnaire survey and provided us their valuable feedback. We look forward to their cooperation in the future as well. This study is perhaps a small attempt to list the key issues that the industry is facing in the north east region. Going forward, FICCI would like to analyze the issues in even greater details so that the entire north east region could benefit from the same. 2 | P a g e About the Study FICCI believes that States are the building blocks of India’s growth. With a view to understand the specific characteristics of the states and address the economic issues from the state’s perspective, FICCI and Konrad Adenauer Foundation (KAF) are jointly undertaking the study and workshop project on “State Level Reforms- Increasing Investments in North East”. After having studied the states of Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Karnataka and Bihar, FICCI has now attempted to study and assess the investment environment in the North East region with particular reference to MSME industry.
