Therefore, India generally depends on imports of crude oil from other countries. There is a heavy imbalance between oil production and consumption in India. The Indian government is encouraging exploration and production of oil and gas to a great extent. This would primarily allow India to tap its own resources there by reducing its import bill. Discovery of viable hydrocarbon reserves in the state can boost the state’s economic development to a great extent. The proposed exploration project is thus of immense significance for the state. 1.1.3 Details of Exploration Drilling Operation It is proposed to drill exploratory wells in the delineated area selected through seismic survey to identify and establish hydrocarbon potential. The proposed project intends to identify the presence of hydrocarbon prospects through exploratory drilling and to delineate and quantify hydrocarbon pools in discovered fields through appraisal drilling. The wells will be drilled upto a target depth of about 2000 to 3500 m by using water-based drilling mud only. 1.1.4 Infrastructure Requirement Project Cost: The estimated cost of the proposed exploratory & development drilling planned to be carried out is Rs. 600 Crores (approximately Rs. 40 crores per each well). Land Requirement: Minimum land required at each well site during drilling will be 125 m x 125 m, i.e., 1.56 ha. On an average, the land requirement at each well site, including site facilities and camp site is considered as 1.5-2.0 ha. The land will be acquired on a temporary basis and adequate compensation as per the guidelines of local administration will be provided. Power Requirement: The total power requirement at the drilling site will be 4290 KVA. The power requirement in the drilling site will be catered through Diesel Generator (DG) sets. The power requirement will be met by 3 Nos of 1430 KVA DG sets at drilling site. Stand by DG set arrangement of 1430 KVA at drilling site will be made. Water Requirement: Water is basically required for preparing drilling mud and for meeting domestic needs of the campsite. Typically, the water consumption for each well ranges from 25 m3/day for a short period of 4 to 5 months. However, the drilling and domestic water requirement would depend on the time required to drill the well, which is primarily dependent on the proposed depth. Man Power: The drill site construction would be done largely employing local labour. At each drill site construction, local employment will be generated for about 25 person/shift of 12 hrs. in two shifts. VIMTA Labs Limited, Hyderabad ES-4 Environmental Impact Assessment Studies for the Proposed Drilling of 15 Exploratory Wells in PML Areas of SAS Block in Sarupathar Tehsil, Golaghat District, Assam Executive Summary 1.2 Description of the Environment Environmental baseline data survey has been carried within the entire SAS block, during 15th January 2016 to 8th April 2016, covering winter season. 1.2.1 Land Use Studies The land use pattern of the total PML areas of South Assam Shelf (SAS) block has been studied by District Census Hand Books and satellite images. It is observed that the revenue forest land under the study area consists 373.64 ha (1.01) of the total geographic area. Altogether 31495.60 ha cultivable land (irrigated, un- irrigated and Land Under miscellaneous tree crops etc.) was observed in the study area. The irrigated land admeasures to about 648.00 ha in the study area which works out to be 1.75% of total study area. The un-irrigated land admeasures about 26979.50 ha and works out to about 72.83% of the total study area. Land uunder miscellaneous tree crops area admeasures to about 3868.10 ha and works out 10.44% of the total study area. 1.2.2 Soil Quality The soil samples were tested at 10 locations during winter season covering various land uses. It has been observed that the pH of the soil ranged from 7.1 – 8.2 indicating that is slightly alkaline to moderately alkaline in nature. The electrical conductivity was recorded as 113.3 µS/cm to 330.0 µS/cm.

  • Kushal Konwar the Only Martyr to Be Hanged in 1942
    Kushal Konwar The Only Martyr to be Hanged in 1942 Translated from Assamese into English by Jolly Saikia Gogoi --- A Tribute to Kushal Konwar: - www.atributetosankaradeva.org is proud to present to the readers a tribute to one of the greatest freedom fighters of India who was also a Vaisnava devotee whose entire life was steeped in the message of the Gita and the Bhagavata and the teachings of Sankaradeva and Madhavadeva. We remember Kushal Konwar today, the martyr who sacrificed his all for the cause of the motherland. We remember him today, the devotee, calmly ascending the gallows singing Sankaradeva’s ‘Par Kora Raghunath Sansara Sagar’. --- The participation of Assam in India’s struggle for freedom was at par with any other part of the country. Many eminent persons from the State joined hands with the leaders of the Indian National Congress and participated in important movements that were carried on from time to time. Many young men and women fell victim to the bullets of the police and the army. One recalls the names of Kanaklata, Mukunda Kakoty, Bhogeswari Phukanani, Teleswari Baruah, Kushal Konwar and others. Out of all the names mentioned, the name of Kushal Konwar stands out separately for special reasons. First of all, Kushal Konwar was the only martyr in the entire country to be awarded with capital punishment during the 1942 movement. In the entire movement none else was sent to the gallows. Another characteristic of the severe punishment was that Kushal Konwar did not participate at all in the act for which he was punished.

    প্রতিধ্বতি the Echo A Journal of Humanities & Social Science Published by: Dept. of Bengali Karimganj College, Karimganj, Assam, India Website: www.thecho.in Train Derailment Activities of Assam In 1942 Mrs. Reeta Dutta Hazorika Abstract The Quit India Movement (1942) was wholly different in Assam from the earlier ones. Hatred towards the British administration was spontaneously bursting out during the movement. It was helped by some directions and programme of the movement circulated by the APCC (Assam Pradesh Congress Committee) throughout the province. Many among the Congress volunteers took the path of underground activities. One of the main objectives of the Movement in Assam was to paralyze the communication network and for this the following instruction was issued. “All ways of Communication are to be obstructed. Big bridges are to be broken. Railway lines should be pulled off so that there may be obstruction in the military movement and bringing other articles”. To realize the programme between August 1942 and March 1943 there were a series of train derailment activities in Assam. Background: In the Second World War, articles from the shops and valuables from the aggression of Japanese army to the the ordinary people, by the military men in North East made the situation very tense in a number of places worried and frightened Assam. Rangoon and Singapore were the common people.2 Dangerous driving occupied by the Japanese army from the and indifference of traffic rules, occasional British in May 1942 and bombarded on molestation of women forcible entry into Imphal, Dimapur and Kohima. To stop the residential quarters in drunken states the Japanese aggression thousands of intensified the terror further.3 British and American army were brought In all India level pressure was mounting to Assam, who set up camps in schools, from China, the United States and Britain colleges, forests and even in paddy fields.

  • From the Principal's Desk
    From the Principal’s Desk... Nations are built by the imagination and untiring enthusiastic efforts of generations. One generation transfers the fruits of its toil to another, which then takes forward the mission. As the coming generation also has its dreams and aspirations for the nation’s future, it therefore adds something from its side to the national vision; which the next generation strives hard to achieve. This process goes on and the nation climbs steps of glory and gains higher strength. - APJ Abdul Kalam. Education, a pivotal instrument for nation building, drives away ignorance and through illumination it emboldens a man to a righteous thought and action. Today, the role of a college is not only to pursue academic excellence but also to motivate and empower its students to be lifelong learners, critical thinkers, and productive members of an ever-changing global society. Sarupathar College, endowed with progressive futuristic outlook, aims continual growth in the quality of all academic activities with a sense of commitment to fully meet the expectations of the students, parents and society at large. The college primarily intends to nurture the shelved potential in students providing an ideal platform for them to channelize their creative outbursts and lend expression to their thoughts and views on various aspects in serene manner. Our institution believes that the purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows, and as such we are focused not merely on academic pursuits but also on providing opportunity to each student to explore his or her own capabilities and their area of interest - curricular, co-curricular or extra-curricular.
