Heavy Floods in Assam Have Affected All the 27 Districts of the State SITUATION REPORT - ASSAM FLOODS NATURE OF HAZARD : FLOODS DATE: 03.08.04 at 9.30 AM Heavy floods in Assam have affected all the 27 districts of the state. These districts are Tinsukia, Dibrugarh, Shivsagar, Jorhat, Golaghat, Nagoan, Morigaon, Kamrup, Kamrup Metro, Darrang, Sonitpur, Dhemaji, Lakhimpur, Nalbari, Berpetta, Bongaigaon, Kokrajhar, Goalpara, Dhubri, Chirang, Karbi Anglong, Karimganj, Hailakhandi, Cachar, Udalguri, North Cachar Hills and Baska. Heavy rainfall over the state and in neighboring uphill states and countries for a sustained period since the last week of June has resulted in the rise of water level in the whole river network – Brahmaputra and it’s tributaries in the state. Large no. of villages got submerged with the overflowing of these rivers.The worst affected districts during the current flood are Barpeta, Cachar, Dhemaji, Dhubari, Goalpara, Kamrup ( rural), Morigaon, Nagaon, Nalbari, Sonitpur, Udalguri. The rise in the water level, breaches along the river & dam embankments, release of water from upper catchment areas (Bhutan), landslides and sudden change of course by rivers, aggravated and deteriorated overall flood situation of the state. The flood has also caused widespread damages to human life, property, standing crops, flood control embankments, tea gardens and other basic infrastructure in the state. Most of the wild life sanctuaries - Kaziranga National Park, National Parks of Manas, Orang and Dibru-Saikhowa, and Wild Life Sanctuaries Burha Chapori, Pobitora, Laokhowa and Bornodi were affected under the grip of the flood. CURRENT SITUATION : Overall flood situation of the state is improving with the receding of the rivers and less rainfall over the state and adjoining areas in the past few days and there has been no fresh damages reported except the increase in the death toll. A total of 240 people have so far been killed in flood related accidents in the state. Situation in the worst affected districts i.e. Karimganj, Morigaon, Cachar, Nagaon and Goalpara is improving very marginally and situation in the low laying areas of Golaghat and Jorhat remains grim with fresh rains over theses places. Army, Air Force and specialist Search and Rescue (SAR) team of Central Institute of Security Forces (CISF) are carrying out relief operations. Extra nos. of army columns have been deployed at vulnerable points as a preparedness measure to meet any emergency. Water logging has posed a great threat in the low laying areas and has made life miserable. Shelter camps are still operational in all the districts except Nalbari, Morigaon, N.Lakhimpur, Shivsagar, Udalguri, and North Cachar Hills as water has not receded at all the places . People have started moving to their houses, with the receding of the waters in some areas and there is a likely chance of further decrease in the relief camps in coming days. Transportation of essential commodities has been affected due to damages to the roads in the state. With the non availability of pure drinking water, waterborne diseases have gained momentum and cases like diarrhea, & dysentery and fever cases are on increase. Of the deaths reported so far, 23 people have died of Diarrhea.

  • One Day GI Camp North Lakhimpur (Assam)
    Report on the One Day GI Camp in North Lakhimpur (Assam) on Effective use of Geographical Indications - MUGA Silk of ASSAM by Stakeholders March 17th, 2015 Conducted by Tezpur University Intellectual Property Rights (TUIPR) Cell & Intellectual Property Rights Cell, Dibrugarh University in Collaboration with North Lakhimpur College (Autonomous College) Lakhimpur, Assam and Technical Support of Geographical Indications Registry, Chennai April 15, 2015 TUIPR/Reports/38/2012/16 Muga Silk of Assam got a Geographical Indication (GI) registration in 2007 and in 2012, a Logo for GI- Muga Silk of Assam was also registered (Registered GI applications no 55 & 384). Assam Science, Technology and Environment Council (ASTEC) is the Registered Proprietor of the GI. Surprisingly from 2007 to 2014 there were only two “authorised users” of this GI. From 2014 to date, 19 applications to become authorised users of the GI - Muga Silk of Assam have been made to the GI Registry in Chennai, of which 14 applications have been published in the GI Journals (Journal Nos 59 & 62) and 5 applications are yet to be published. The Tezpur University Intellectual Property Rights (TUIPR) Cell initiated a project to identify the key reasons for such low usage of the GI - Muga Silk of Assam. Extensive field work was undertaken in some of the areas in which “Sericulture to Production of MUGA Products” is active to understand the dynamics of the MUGA Silk value chain. The key reasons identified by Shri Arshad Hussain, JRF in the TUIPR Cell were low awareness of the significance of GI, non-availability of reliable quality monitoring systems to differentiate “genuine MUGA Silk” from “adulterated MUGA” products, insignificant oganisational support across the entire value chain including nonexistence of enforcement mechanisms in the State of Assam against adulteration and mixed products in the market place.

INTRODUCTION Cultural tourism has a special place in India because of its past civilisation. Among the various motivating factors governing travel in India, cultural tourism is undoubtedly the most important. For any foreigner, a visit to India must have a profound cultural impact and in its broader sense, tourism in India involves quite a large content of cultural content. It also plays a major role in increasing national as well as international good will and understanding. Thousands of archaeological and historical movements scattered throughout the country provide opportunites to learn about the ancient history and culture. India has been abundantly rich in its cultural heritage. Indian arts and crafts, music and dance, fairs and festivals, agriculture and forestry, astronomy and astrology, trade and transport, recreation and communication, monumental heritage, fauna and flora in wildlife and religion play a vital role in this type of tourism. Thus, it can be very well said that there remains a lot of potential for the progress of cultural tourism in India. Culturally, North East represents the Indian ethos of „unity in diversity‟ and „diversity in unity‟. It is a mini India where diverse ethnic and cultural groups of Aryans, Dravidians, Indo-Burmese, Indo Tibetan and other races have lived together since time immemorial.

It provides information on the health of an ecosystem based on which organisms live in a waterbody. The benthic community is dependent on its surrounding and therefore, it serves as an indicator that reflects the overall condition of the ecosystem. Among the commonly used biomoniting approaches, biotic indices and multimetric approaches are most frequently used to evaluate the environment health of streams and rivers. The macro invertebrate fauna and physico-chemical parameters of Lungding stream of Dima Hasao district were studied seasonally from March 2017 to February 2018. A total of 13 species of benthic invertebrate fauna belonging to three phyla (Annelida, Arthropoda and Mollusca), five classes (Hirudinea, Gastropoda, Bivalvia, Crustacea, Insecta) and thirteen families (Hirudinidae, Physidae, Anomidae, Gammaridae,Panaediae, Baetidae Aeshnidae, Belostometidae, Hydrophilidae, Chaoboridae, Chironomidae) were found in the Lungding stream during the study. Gastropoda was predominant (23.71 %) followed by Crustacea, Bivalvia and Hirudinidae with percentage composition of 19%, 16.59% and 11.42% respectively. Among Insects, Dipteran midges (Chaoboridae) with 8.84% were the dominant group.

  • 1 F.No.3/3/2009-PP-I GOVERNMENT of INDIA MINISTRY of MINORITY
    F.No.3/3/2009-PP-I GOVERNMENT OF INDIA MINISTRY OF MINORITY AFFAIRS MINUTES OF THE 14th MEETING OF THE EMPOWERED COMMITTEE TO CONSIDER AND APPROVE THE MULTI-SECTORAL DEVELOPMENT PLANS FOR MINORITY CONCENTRATION DISTRICTS HELD AT 10.30 A.M. ON 8TH JUNE, 2009 UNDER THE CHAIRMANSHIP OF SECRETARY, MINISTRY OF MINORITY AFFAIRS A list of members and officials present in the meeting is annexed. 2. The Chairman of the Empowered Committee explained the background for identification of minority concentration districts (MCDs) and the scheme of a multi-sectoral development programme (MsDP) designed to address the development deficits of such districts. The Chairman pointed out that the baseline survey not only brought out the updated position in respect of the relevant parameters used for identification of such districts, but also ranked the deficits in order of the extent of deprivation in the districts. It was expected that the plans submitted by the State Governments would address the deficits in order of priority. In case a deficit, ranked higher in the order of deprivation, was not proposed to be addressed by the plan, it would be incumbent on the part of the District Level Committee and the State Level Committee to bring out the reasons for not doing so. The Chairman stressed that the primary objective of this programme was to address the identified development deficits, so that the various interventions would result in the improvement of the backwardness parameters of a minority concentration district and bring it at par with the national average. 3. The Chairman stated that the fact that these districts were not just MCDs, having a substantial minority population, but were also districts comprising of other communities who suffer from the same backwardness and deprivation should not be lost sight of.
