The Assam Development Report, prepared by the Union Planning Commission and Government of Assam with the assistance of the Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research (IGIDR), Mumbai, is one of the seminal State Development Reports being prepared by the Planning Commission, thanks to the in-itiative taken by our Hon'ble Deputy Chairman Shri K. C. Pant. 2. We have initiated under his direction and in coordination with the States concerned, preparation.of State Development Reports (SDR) for thirteen States so far. Over the Tenth Plan period, this exercise will be expanded to include most of the States in the country. The salient aim of these Reports is to provide a quality reference document on the development profile and strategies for accelerating the growth rate of the States. These SDRs are to act as major inputs in Development. 3. This exercise is particularly relevant in the case of Assam, since in the period 1993-94 to 1999-2000, when the all India rate of growth of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was around 6.68%, the growth of the State Domestic Product (SDP) of Assam was only 2.49%. In the Tenth Plan we are aiming to achieve a national growth target of 8% per annum, and this would require achieving a growth rate of over 6 per cent per annum even in less developed States like Assam. The Assam Development Report hopes to catalyse policy action towards the desired growth strategy that will enable Assam to achieve the growth rates of over 6% per annum, that are now being targeted for the State for the Tenth Plan and beyond. 4. Assam is a very important border State and a developed Assam will be a great asset to the Nation as a whole. I trust that the report will also be a useful working document, which will impart value for development practitioners interested in the State. I commend this report to the people of Assam, and look forward to it setting out a road map for accelerated growth and intensified poverty reduction for the State in the future. 5. I would like to place on record my deep sense of appreciation of the significant work of Prof. Kirit Parikh, Chairman, IGIDR, Mumbai and Dr. Rajan S. Katoch, IAS, Adviser (SP- NE) of the Planning Commission in addition to officers of the Assam Government. (1 New Delhi Date (K Venkaiasubra#rfanian) 20.08.2002 Chiei Minister, Assam G uw aha ti Tarun Gogoi Assam Development Report Foreword Contrary to what was envisioned in our constitution, the five decades of planning could not reduce the regional disparity in our country; in fact, in many spheres the gap has widened further. The rate of economic growth in a vast majority of areas is abysmally poor and Assam is not a case in exception in this trend. Therefore, it is high time we looked back at the strategies of development adopted during the last five decades and make an in depth analysis of the net results thus arrived at. It is clear that, for the country to prosper as a single entity, there has to be all round uniform development across the length and breadth of the country and for that purpose the areas of low growth syndrome needs special attention from the top policy makers. The Assam Development Report prepared by the Planning Commission along with the Government of Assam and Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research suggests a framework for the de\elopment of Assam. It also makes a number of policy recommendations for accelerating the pace of development in Assam. We will strive to take all the measures that are within our means to accelerate the process of development in the state, however difficult it might be. At the same time, we do urge for the required attention and help from the Central Government, in a proactive manner, particularly for issues where it alone can act. The present Government in Assam is committed to ensure that the standard of living of the people in the state continues to improve. I hope that the present report will help all of us to come to grips with today's realities and help make quick rational development decisions. I look forward to the Assam Development Report becoming a valuable input in focusing attention to key development issues by all concerned. (Tarun Gogoi) Date : 14.8.2002 Chief Minister, Assam Executive Summary State of Assam’s Development - The Point of Departure 1. The most striking fact of Assam’s economic development 1s that it 1s falling behind the rest of the country. In 1950-51, per capita income in Assam was 4 per cent above national average. In 1998-99 it was 41 per cent below the national average at current prices and 45 per cent below the national average at 1980-81 prices. What is even more alarming is that the gap is growing. Between 1980 and 1990, per capita income at 1980-81 prices grew by 20 per cent in Assam compared with 40 per cent for all-India. Between 1980 and 1998, per capita income in Assam grew by 10 per cent compared with 39 per cent for all India. 2. During 1951-79, Assam’s economy grew at more or less the same rate as the rest of India. Yet, Assam’s per capita income fell due to higher rate of population growth in Assam due to immigration. Over the period Assam’s population grew at an average rate of around 4 per cent per year. The widening disparity since 1980-81 is, however, due to slower growth of its economy. While the Indian economy grew at 6 per cent over 1981 to 2000, Assam State GDP grew only at 3.3 per cent. And though the growth rate of the Indian economy accelerated in the 1990s over 1980s, Assam’s economy decelerated in the 1990s. The poor growth performance is in all sectors. Agriculture has grown only at 2.1 per cent per year over the 1980s and 1990s and has slowed down in the 1990s to 1.6 per cent.

  • Performance Audit Relating to Government Company
    Performance Audit relating to Government Company Chapter II - Performance Audit Relating to Government Company Performance Audit on the working of Assam Tourism Development Corporation Limited The Assam Tourism Development Corporation Limited (Company) was set up (June 1988) under the Companies Act of 1956 with the objective to boost tourism in the State. The activities of the Company included creation of well-connected tourism infrastructure and providing tourist facilities in important tourist destinations. The present Performance Audit (PA) primarily covered the activities of the Company for the period of five years from 2010-11 to 2014-15 with focus on the adequacy of efforts made by the Company to attain the laid down objectives of the State Tourism Policy. In addition, the records of the Directorate of Tourism (DoT) functioning under the Department of Tourism, Government of Assam (GoA) were also scrutinised to assess the effectiveness of the supporting role played by GoA/DoT in achieving the overall objectives of the State Tourism Policy. Highlights The Company earned profits consecutively during 2010-11 to 2014-15. The profits so earned during the five years were, however, solely on account of the interest earned from Fixed Deposits made out of capital grants received from Government of India and Government of Assam. (Paragraph 2.6.1) The State Tourism sector lacks authentic data on tourist inflow due to failure of the GoA/Company to put in place a proper data collection mechanism and conduct the benchmark survey of all tourist potential destinations. The Company did not prepare any short or long term plans to identify and prioritise the projects to be developed on scientific basis.

Email: [email protected] 2Assistant Professor in Political Science, Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, Indian Institute of Information Technology Guwahati, Assam, India. Email: [email protected] Abstract If Indian intellectual history focussed on the nature of the colonial and post-colonial state, its interaction with everyday politics, its emerging society and operation of its economy, then how much did/ does North- East appear in this process of doing intellectual history? North-East history in general and its intellectual history in particular is an unpeopled place. In Indian social science literature, North-East history for the last seventy years has mostly revolved around separatist movements, insurgencies, borderland issue and trans- national migration. However, it seldom focussed on the intellectuals who have articulated the voice of this place and constructed an intellectual history of this region. This paper attempts to explore the intellectual history of Assam through understanding the life history of three key socio-political figures – Gopinath Bordoloi, Bishnu Prasad Rabha and Chandraprabha Saikiani.

  • Dynamics of Nepali Migration: Assimilation with the Assamese Society a Study of Sonitpur and Tinsukia Districts of Assam
    Himalayan Journal of Development and Democracy, Vol. 6, No. 1, 2011 Dynamics of Nepali Migration: Assimilation with the Assamese Society A Study of Sonitpur and Tinsukia Districts of Assam Monimala Devi 25 DDR College, India Abstract Migration is an ancient global flow contributing to economic development, and over the ages its form and impetus have changed significantly. Migration brings both qualitative and quantitative changes in the socio- economic and demographic characteristics of a region. Thus, it is now recognized as an important factor in determining plans for social, economic and political development, especially in developing countries. Migration studies have attracted much attention in the recent studies of the world as it has shaped human civilization all over the world. Although, migration has been reasoned for political, economic and various other conflicts, it is important to understand the dynamics of population change in the form of migration for resolving ethnic, religious and military conflicts across the globe. Assam had a long history of receiving migrants, however in the pre- colonial times the inflows were smaller and people assimilated more imperceptibly. The Nepali migrants who came during the colonial period assimilated into the host society and contributed to the social, economic and political development of the state. The Nepali migrants who came during the colonial period assimilated into the host society and contributed to the social, economic and political development of the state. The present study attempts to understand the Nepali migration from the historical perspective and at the same time comprehend the mechanism in the recent past in its transformative character particularly in the Sonitpur and Tinsukia districts of Assam.
