Nagaon ~83 FOREWORD The State-level Town birectory was brought out for the first time after the 1971 Census. The tradition of compilation of such a Directory after every census 1$ continuing since tllen with some minor modifications. It Ilrovldes basic data on demographic, economic, social and cultural aspects In respect of each town In a state. This publication has In fact proved to be of immense utility to planners, administrators, academicians and researchers. The basic frame of the Town Directory of 1991 series is more or less the same as in the case of earlier censuses. The Town Directory Is divided Into two sections: Section-A, besides providing primary census abstract, contains an analytical note, the town directory covering 7 statements (I-VI and IV~A) and a few appendices. The statements No. I to VI provide for each town information on the origin and .growth history of population, physical aspects, latest position regarding municipal financ;e, civic, medical, educational, recreational and cultural facilities available In the town as a whole as also details on trade, commerce, industry and banking Institutions etc. Statement IV-A introduced for the first time In 1981 Census provides information on the availability of civic and other amenities in the notified slums of the cities and large towns having 50,000 or more population each. Section-B contains a number of important maps including maps on land-use pattern. It Is hoped that the present volume will be useful to the Central/State Government departments, district administrations, local bodies etc. In micro-level planning and administration of the urban areas and for preparing the development plans In relation to their hinterland. The maps on land-use which present morphology of the towns are expected to be helpful to the town planners for working out balanced, well Integrated and farsighted developmental plans. The data for the town directory have been corrected and compiled pafnstakingly in the Census Directorate by a team of devoted workers led by Shri Deba Nanda Chuti3, A.C.S., Deputy Director under the direction of Shrl N.C. Dutta. I.A.S., Director of Census Operations, Assam. These data were collected through local administration and various concerned departments of t'he State Government. The task of planning, finalisation and coordination of ihis publication was carried out centrally by Dr. M.K. Jain, Deputy Registrar General (Social Studies) of my office. Smt. Mlnati Ghosh, Deputy Registrar General (Map), provided the technical guidance in the preparation of the maps. The draft manuscript compiled in the Census Directorate has been scrutinised in the Social Studies Division at the headquarters by Shri J.P. Joshi, Investigator under the guidance of Dr. I.C. Agrawal, Senior Research Officer. I thank all other officers who have contributed to this project. New Deihl (A.R. NANDA) Dated 21 st February, 1994 Registrar General, India (v) PREFACE This directory would have been most appropriately prefaced by my predecessor, Shri N.C. Dutta, I.A.S. (Retd.}.1 who had ably piloted the 1991 Census Operations In Assam to Its successful end. His vast and thorough knowledge of the state had been of immense help while tabulating complicated n~n-ceruus data done under his direct supervision. What was left for me after I took over charge when he.. 'retired from service on 30/4/93 was drafting of the analytical note. I extend my warmest thanks ~nd appreciation to him. This volume is the third in the series, though in 1981 it had to be brought out without population figures due to the 1981 Census-being inoperative in the state on account of the distllrbed condition at that time. The volume may prove useful and informative fOF planners, administrators, research workers, academicians, etcetera. It throws ample light on the various facts," aspects and trends of the process of urbanization in the state which Is usually cohorted by problems of housing, water supply, sanitation, etcetera. Co-operation and assistance of a high order was generously given by all the civic administrations of the statutory towns and 'by the districtlsubdivisional authorities in case of non-statutory towns. They had all supplied us with the requisite data that fill the columns of statements I to VI. My sincere thanks go to them all. Constant technkal advice and guidance were provided by Shri A.R. Nanda, Registrar General, Indial Dr. M.K. Jain, Deputy Registrar General (S.~.) and Smt. Minoti Ghosh, Deputy Registrar General (Map). My deep gratitude goes to them all. In my office, painstaking endeavour made by Dr. Sunil Kumar Barua, Investigator in preparing the first draft and the unstinted effort displayed by Shri A.

Assam has the largest number of weavers in the country and weaving is the only source of livelihood for these people. Though Assam silk is renowned worldwide for its uniqueness, in the present market scenario, the demand has decreased due to various reasons. This paper tries to explore the various socio-economic issues and problems faced by the silkworm sector and the community attached to this sector in Assam. Key words: Eri, Muga, Paat, Globalisation, Identity, Silk loom, Silkworms, Weavers ‘Assamese women weave fairy tales in their clothes’ - Mahatma Gandhi Introduction The art of sericulture and silk weaving has a long history in the world. As far as evidence goes, silk culture seems to have originated in China. The Chinese historians trace back the use of the product of the silk worm to the period of the myths. From China as a centre, the sector is said to have radiated to other parts of the world including India via Tibet by about 140 B.C.

  • Sualkuchi Area of Kamrup District, Assam
    European Scientific Journal December 2014 edition vol.10, No.35 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 THE DYNAMICS IN CHANNEL SHIFT OF THE BRAHMPUTRA ALONG THE AGYATHURI- SUALKUCHI AREA OF KAMRUP DISTRICT, ASSAM Rakesh Chetry, MA Dept. of Geography, Gauhati University, India Abstract Since ages people and rivers have been closely associated with and a slight change in behavior in any aspect has serious repercussions upon the other. Brahmaputra-the lifeline of about 264 lakh population of Assam, has been intrinsically related with the way of life of the inhabitants within its domain and has both positively and negatively affected them. Bank line migration and consequent channel shift is a common phenomena of the mighty river due to its high braided condition and host of other geological as well as other hydrological factors. The study incorporates the Agyathuri- Sualkuchi stretch of Kamrup district, within 5 kms downstream of the Saraighat bridge (the first bridge over Brahmaputra), where the river shows strong northward migrating tendency. Major changes and displacements have been taking place in the region due to channel shift. Keeping in view all these aspects, the paper tries to examine the extent of area encroached by the river since 1911 to 2005 and thereby analyse the causes responsible for channel shift. The specified objectives have been fulfilled based on the utilization of toposheets and google maps in GIS environment including personal field visit. Necessary maps and diagrams have been prepared for exposition of the problem. Keywords: Bank line migration, Braiding, Depopulation, Deposition, Displacement, Erosion Introduction Rivers are dynamic and thus through the process of erosion, transportation and deposition produces dynamic landforms all along its course.

  • Sualkuchi Institute of Fashion Technology
    SIFT SUALKUCHI INSTITUTE OF FASHION TECHNOLOGY BACKGROUND India is one of the largest producers of Textiles and Garments and this industry generates the highest number of employment in India, after agricultural sector, although half of the people engaged in this Industry are using handlooms. Textile Industry in India is set for a very strong growth in the near future, with an estimate of reaching US$ 220 billion by 2020. In spite of this, it faces a lot of challenges, a few being the scarcity of trained manpower and the low level of technology used. To overcome these hurdles, both the State and the Central Govt. Have been taking up various measures and SIFT is the culmination of one such approach in Assam by Kamrup District Administration. The name of the Institute and its location is just and appropriate as can be seen from one of the many such observations cited above. INCEPTION Sualkuchi Institute of Fashion Technology (SIFT) - was set up in 2008 and the Institute was formally inaugurated, on 30th August 2008. SIFT was established by the initiative of Kamrup District Administration, Govt. of Assam under the project “Integrated Pilot Project for the weavers of Sualkuchi& adjoining areas” to enhance skill up-gradation, and offer holistic development of weavers and entrepreneurs. Since then SIFT has been providing Integrated training programs on Fashion & Textile design. Initially SIFT collaborated with the North Eastern Council & National Institute of Fashion Technology, Kolkata (NIFT). A Memorandum of Understanding was signed with NIFT, Kolkata to provide advisory and technical assistantship for design innovation related technology up gradation, product diversification and to train 600 persons within a span of three years (24 programs).
