The Flood Situation of Assam – A Case Study Mukul Chandra Bora Lecturer (Sélection Grade) in Civil Engineering Dibrugarh Polytechnic, Lahowal: Pin: 786010 Assam, India Abstract The problem caused by water may broadly be catagorised into two major groups’ viz. shortage of water and surplus of water. Shortage of water causes drought and surplus water causes flood. The water is the vital ingredients for the survival of human being but sometimes it may cause woe to the human life not due to insufficient water but due to abundant water which in turn causes the natural disaster called as flood. Assam is situated at the easternmost part of India. Geographically it is at the foothills of the Himalaya. Every year Assam experiences a huge amount of losses due to devastating flood caused by the river Brahmaputra. The losses are more in few places like (Majuli, the biggest river Island), Dhemaji, North Lakhimpur, Dhakuakhana and few places of Barak valley in Assam. The problem of flood is very old in Assam and the solution is very much difficult due to complex and devastating nature of the River Brahmaputra. Both short term and long term measures are sometimes failed to mitigate the losses caused by flood. This paper presents the case study on the losses in terms of livestock, human lives and that in terms of property that have taken place in Dhakuakhana area of Assam. Keywords: Water problem, flood, River, Brahmaputra, losses. 1. Introduction: India is a vast country with lot of diversity in water related problem with woes due to shortage and abundance in water. Western part of the country facing shortage of water and the Eastern part facing surplus of water in the form of flood. The Western part mainly comprises of Rajasthan, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar shows shortage of drinking water and the eastern part shows abundant source of water. The North Eastern part of India mainly comprises of Assam, and its neighboring seven states are getting sufficient amount of rainfall in monsoon and hence the rivers become sufficient in water and causes flood in summer. Assam is one of the worst sufferers of flood due to River Brahmaputra and its tributaries and it comes in every year as a festival which causes woes rather than joy. The districts of Assam which are at the upper reaches of river Brahmaputra like Dibrugarh, Sivasagar, Jorhat, North Lakhimpur, Golaghat and the river Island Majuli are the worst sufferer of flood caused by mighty Brahmaputra. Here in this paper the folld havoc caused by river Brahmaputra in the place Dhakuakhana in the Districts of North Lakhimpur are discussed in terms of losses of livestock, paddy fields, human lives etc. The Fig.1 and Fig. 2 shows the physical and political map of the state of Assam wherin the district of North Lakhimpur is marked with arrow mark which is the district under discussion of this paper. Fig. 1: Physical Map of Assam Fig. 2: Political Map of Assam BALWOIS 2010 - Ohrid, Republic of Macedonia - 25, 29 May 2010 1 2. Brief Description of Dhakuakhana: Till the arrival of the Ahom from Thailand, under the leadership of SUKAFA in 13th century AD Dhakuakhana was known as HABUNG. The legendary leader perhaps aimed at HABUNG. But he despised his plan when HABUNG got submerged during the devastating flood in 1244 AD and sailed to Dikhowmukh and was included by the Bhuyan’s of Lakhimpur. It is however unknown, how long HABUNG was ruled by Bhuyan dynasty. The two major rivers/tributaries that run through HABUNG are CHARIKORIA and KORHA. CHARIKORIA said to have her name from the four ‘KORIS’ (wins) that people had to pay to the boatmen to take them across. On the other hand during Ahom rule the royal tax collectors used to come by KORHA and had taken away goods forcefully from the tenants who failed to pay the taxes. Thus the river came to be known as KORHA which means takings away forcefully. The history of HABUNG is closely related with the Bhaktty movement started in Assame by Shankardeva. His great disciple Mahapurukh Madhabdeva passed his childhood IN Ghagaritool. During, Ahom rule Sanskrit was taught in “TOOL’S here. Today, Dhakuakhana is marching equal in respect of education and culture with the rest of the world. Looking in other material aspects of development the people of Dhakuakhana are but keen in this respect and consistently trying to make a global impact. Dhakuakhana is a place in the district of North Lakhimpur comprising large number of villages and some small growing towns. It is situated between 27.60° - 27.35° north latitude and 94.24° - 94.42° east longitude. It is situated between the mighty Brahmaputra and its tributary called Subansiri and basically of silt deposition mainly caused by these two rivers making it rich in fertility and hence ideally suitable for cultivation. During monsoon, many places of this area get inundated by the rivers and become inaccessible, when boat becomes the only means of communications. In Dhakuakhana, 94% population of this place is depend on Cultivation and can be taken as the backbone of the economy of the sub-division. About 3.5% is depend on Fish cultivation and 1.5 % population depends on livestock. So it can be concluded that the major economy of this region is dominated by cultivation of rice and other paddy crops and hence inundation of paddy field by flood water occurs during the period of cultivation brings tears to the people. The other impacts of flood as it always associated with erosion repeatedly displaced the person from one place to another which is the like killing of person admitted to the hospital. The sericulture sector of Dhakuakhana sub-division is also faced huge damaged due to recurring flood and sand deposition in the firm location. A survey conducted to access the migration pattern in the flood and erosion affected villages shows that more 60% of the youth from these villages have migrated to other places of the state and about 22% youth have migrated to other states of India. According to the June 2008 project Preparatory Technical Assistance, Phase-II draft feasibility report of the North East Integrated Flood and Riverbank Erosion Risk Management Project to be financed by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the Matmora area of Dhakuakhana which has a dominant 58 percent schedule tribe (ST) population with a population density of 182 persons per square kilometer, is facing floods and erosion in a recurring manner for the past about a decade now, with 93 per cent of its 2,1186 households being affected. The area comprises 200 villages with 34.04 per cent of its population being poor. It has so far incurred a loss worth around US $ 22.46 million (around Rs. 90 crore) due to flood and erosion. The other factor affecting the livelihood of the people is sand deposition. 3. Causes of Flood: The construction of the embankment from Dijmur to Tekeliphutia on the right bank of river Brahmaputra was aimed at protection of the riverside villagers from annual devastating flood and subsequent intensive river bank erosion sixty years back. During the process more than ten thousand families were displaced from their paternal acre and till today many of these displaced families living on the embankment without having any compensation from the authority. The embankment could serve its purpose next thirty years of its construction but by this time the embankment caused permanent deterioration in the river character, the sand and silt load entrapped in between these two embankments -along right and left banks of the river lead to deposition of sediment in the river corridor which raised the river bed to an alarming extent and the earlier meandering character of the river changed into braided character. Thus the over-topping of flood water, frequent breach in the embankment, river bank erosion etc. become a regular phenomena for the river Brahmaputra. The flood due to river Brahmaputra as a result of these complications becomes more devastating and erratic in nature. The recurring flood, erosion, sand deposition, displacement these entire make several thousands of families marginalized and bulldozed the development efforts. The portion of the Dijmur-Tkeliphuta embankment form Sisikolghar to Matmora protects the riverine portion of Dhemaji BALWOIS 2010 - Ohrid, Republic of Macedonia - 25, 29 May 2010 2 district particularly the Pachim (West) Dhemaji, Machkhua portion and Dhakuakhana block of Lakhimpur district. The extensive bank erosion in this portion of the embankment actually compelled to realign the structure six to eight times in last twenty years. The erosion and realignment in construction of the embankment extinguished and eliminated about 18 villages from this area under Matmora and KherkotIa GP (Goan Pnachayat)s. In the year 2007 the embankment breached near Jhanji village and was about 500 mt wide, which was plugged in 2008 but there occurred three breaches in the same year which developed a wide opening in the embankment of around 2.5 km width. In the year 2009 efforts were made to construct the embankment using the geo-textile technology, which was continued till month of June 2009. This year the monsoon rainfall occurred in the North east only by last week of June, thus though the embankment construction work was started lately the works could continued till June.

Culture is not a static identity and keeps changing. The changing environmental development makes internal adaptation necessary for culture. Thus, a lot of changes have also been observed in the Mising culture too. The impact of urbanisation and modernization has brought a major eeconomic and socio-cultural transformation among the Mising tribe of Assam. Their society is changing not only in the aspects of socio-economic and political areas butalsointraditional beliefs andcultural practices. With the above background, an attempt has been made to understand the traditional and cultural practices among the Mising Tribe of Assam in particular and rural- urban context in general. Keywords: Mising Tribe, culture, cultural diversity, cultural Practices I. Statement Of The Problem The Misings, belonging to Tibeto-Burman ethnic group and formerly known as the Miris, which constitute the second largest scheduled tribe (Plains) group in Assam, have been playing a significant role in the culture and economy of the greater Assamese society in general and tribal society in particular. They with 5.9 lakh population (17.8 per cent of the state’s total tribal people) as per 2001 Census are mainly concentrated in the riverine areas of Dhemaji, Lakhimpur, Dibrugarh, Tinsukia, Sibsagar, Jorhat, Golaghat and Sonitpur districts of Assam.

  • Conservation of Gangetic Dolphin in Brahmaputra River System, India
    CONSERVATION OF GANGETIC DOLPHIN IN BRAHMAPUTRA RIVER SYSTEM, INDIA Final Technical Report A. Wakid Project Leader, Gangetic Dolphin Conservation Project Assam, India Email: [email protected] 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT There was no comprehensive data on the conservation status of Gangetic dolphin in Brahmaputra river system for last 12 years. Therefore, it was very important to undertake a detail study on the species from the conservation point of view in the entire river system within Assam, based on which site and factor specific conservation actions would be worthwhile. However, getting the sponsorship to conduct this task in a huge geographical area of about 56,000 sq. km. itself was a great problem. The support from the BP Conservation Programme (BPCP) and the Rufford Small Grant for Nature Conservation (RSG) made it possible for me. I am hereby expressing my sincere thanks to both of these Funding Agencies for their great support to save this endangered species. Besides their enormous workload, Marianne Dunn, Dalgen Robyn, Kate Stoke and Jaimye Bartake of BPCP spent a lot of time for my Project and for me through advise, network and capacity building, which helped me in successful completion of this project. I am very much grateful to all of them. Josh Cole, the Programme Manager of RSG encouraged me through his visit to my field area in April, 2005. I am thankful to him for this encouragement.

Dr. Montu Chetia -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Bihu is a national festival of Assam celebrated by all sections of the society irrespective of caste, creed and religion. The Bihu is the identity of Assamese people in all over the country. It is also the symbol of unity among the people of the state. There are three kinds of Bihu generally observed in Assam- Bohag Bihu or Rongali Bihu, Magh Bihu or Bhogali Bihu and Kati Bihu or Kongali Bihu. Every Bihu has its own features and characteristics which have enriched the cultural prosperity of Assam as well as the whole north eastern region . On the other hand although Bihu is the national festival of Assam yet it varies in form from place to place which have developed the cultural diversity of the state. This paper is an attempt to understand the different rites and rituals of the Kati Bihu or Kongali Bihu among the various tribes of Lakhimpur district as well as whole north bank area of upper Assam and their changes and continuity. KEY WORDS: Kati Bihu, rites and rituals, changes and continuity -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Introduction: Culture is the soul as well as identity of a society.

  • 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%.

  • The Flood Situation of Assam – a Case Study
    The Flood Situation of Assam – A Case Study Mukul Chandra Bora Lecturer (Sélection Grade) in Civil Engineering Dibrugarh Polytechnic, Lahowal: Pin: 786010 Assam, India Abstract The problem caused by water may broadly be catagorised into two major groups’ viz. shortage of water and surplus of water. Shortage of water causes drought and surplus water causes flood. The water is the vital ingredients for the survival of human being but sometimes it may cause woe to the human life not due to insufficient water but due to abundant water which in turn causes the natural disaster called as flood. Assam is situated at the easternmost part of India. Geographically it is at the foothills of the Himalaya. Every year Assam experiences a huge amount of losses due to devastating flood caused by the river Brahmaputra.
