Indian Journal of Economics and Development, Vol 7 (1), January 2019 ISSN (online): 2320-9836 ISSN (Print): 2320-9828 Cost benefit analysis of large cardamom cultivation in Anjaw district of Arunachal Pradesh Prof. (Dr.) Sanjeeb Kumar Jena*1, Sodyong Kri2 Department of Commerce, Rajiv Gandhi University, Rono Hills, Doimukh – 791112, Arunachal Pradesh, India [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Objectives: India is the largest seller of large cardamom in the international market and the second largest producer after Nepal. The favourable conditions prevailed in the Himalayan foothill has induced a geometric growth in large cardamom cultivation and trading. With the striking success of this cash cropping in Sikkim, the farming communities of Arunachal Pradesh had shifted to large cardamom farming, commercially, from the traditional subsistence farming with some indications of success. This study has aimed to analyze the cost- benefit-return of the large cardamom cultivation in the Anjaw District of Arunachal Pradesh. Methods/Statistical Analysis: The study is empirical in nature and based on the primary data collected from 5 circles of Anjaw District. The data were collected from 200 cardamom growers (40 each from each 5 circles), selected at random through a questionnaire schedule. Findings/Result: The earning from commercialized large cardamom cultivation in the study area i.e., Anjaw District of Arunachal Pradesh is very highly remunerative (27.67%) compared to other traditional and cash-crops which is a reason for the popularity of the large cardamom as a substitute for the traditional subsistence farming in these areas. Application/Improvements: The failure in the subsistence farming in Arunachal Pradesh made the masses diverted from the agrarian activities hampering the balance of employment and livelihood. -
Arunachal Tribal Hunters Find Wooden Bridge ‘Built by China’
Arunachal tribal hunters find wooden bridge ‘built by China’ [email protected] Guwahati: Tribal hunters in Arunachal Pradesh have stumbled upon a wooden suspension bridge within 100km of McMahon Line that has been reported to Delhi as being built by Chinese troops, a suggestion the Indian Army rejected on Wednesday by citing strict surveillance and an established bilateral military mechanism to prevent any such incursion. “The suspension bridge over Doimru Nullah (rivulet) in Chaglagam Circle has been built with timber sawn from trees felled in that area. Local hunters spotted the bridge on Tuesday and alerted us. I have written about it to the authorities in New Delhi,” MP and state BJP chief Tapir Gao, who represents Arunachal East constituency, said. The bridge location is within a dense forest 25km from the Chaglagam administrative outpost in Anjaw district, which he called as the “last human habitation in that area”. Chaglagam is 100km from the McMahon Line, which demarcates the Tibetan region of China from India’s Northeast along the northern boundary of Arunachal Pradesh. “The construction of a suspension bridge means the Chinese have come almost 60 to 70km inside. This is a serious issue…A decade ago, I had informed the Lok Sabha about the Chinese coming up to 50km inside our territory,” Gao said. In a statement, the Indian Army said there was “no permanent presence” of either Chinese soldiers or civilians in the area. “There is differing perception on the alignment of the Line of Actual Control (LAC), as in many other areas. The terrain is thickly vegetated and all movements are undertaken on foot along nullahs and streams. -
