  • Chapter 5 Assessment of Regional Agriculture Characteristics and Zoning
    The Study on Development and Management of Land and Water Resources for Sustainable Agriculture in Mizoram in the Republic of India Final Report Chapter 5 Assessment of Regional Agriculture Characteristics and Zoning 5.1 Method of Assessment The agricultural setting in Mizoram was assessed using village-wise data, which include census data, topographic data, meteorological data, geological data, and geographical data. Using statistical analysis with these various data, the results of assessments included various aspects of agriculture characteristics. The villages having the same characteristics were classified together into one cluster. Using the data collected for clustering, it was found out that some data are not suitable without doing the necessary pre-processing, since the data sets had various units and standard deviations. Some data had strong correlation coefficient with other data while others do not have. Therefore, the first step was to standardize the 24 different data, and then execute principal components analysis (PCA) prior to performing the clustering analysis. The effect of border trading, market accessibility and some agricultural production were difficult to assess with PCA because of the non-availability of village-wise data. Such data were loaded into GIS and considered in agricultural zoning steps by overlaying the output of cluster analysis on proper maps. 5.2 Village Clustering 5.2.1 Principal Component Analysis (PCA) PCA is the main technique for dimensionality reduction. It can transform the data from high dimensional space into less dimensional space. The dimensions are converted in irreversible way while minimizing loss of information that the original data have. The variance of the original data represents the amount of information.

  • North Eastern Region: Vision 2020
    i ii NORTH EASTERN REGION VISION 2020 THE VISION STATEMENT 1. At Independence, the North Eastern Region was among the most prosperous regions of India. Sixty years on, the Region as a whole, and the States that comprise it, are lagging far behind the rest of the country in most important parameters of growth. 2. The purpose of this Vision document is to return the North Eastern Region to the position of national economic eminence it held till a few decades ago; to so fashion the development process that growth springs from and spreads out to the grassroots; and to ensure that the Region plays the arrow-head role it must play in the vanguard of the country’s Look East Policy. 3. It is recognized that the Partition of India and the denial, since the India-Pakistan war of 1965, of transit facilities to physically link all but 29 kilometres of the North East to the rest of India has severely limited the economic prospects of the North East. It is further recognized that an imaginative leap in foreign policy, defence policy and internal security policy, as much as in investment, infrastructure and commercial policy, is required to end the Region’s geo-political isolation and put it on the path to accelerated and inclusive growth. 4. Inclusive growth calls for inclusive governance. The North Eastern Region has long- established traditions of community-based economic and social organization. This has facilitated a smooth transition to contemporary institutions of Panchayati Raj in all of Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh; most of Assam and Tripura; and the valley areas of Manipur.
