As of morning of 2 July, 50 % of the 100 metre breach on the embankment was restored . A 24 member team of National Disaster Relief Force (NDRF) has been stationed in Lakhimpur, and is helping in the rescue operations Border Security Force (BSF) personnel are also fa cilitating rescue operations 2 Sit Rep - Assam Floods–03 July 2009 UN RESPONSE UNDP: The GOI-UNDP DRM programme staff are in close contact with the Lakhimpur District Administration. UNICEF: The State Office is in contact with the Lakhimpur District Administration and the State Disaster Manageme nt Cell in Guwahati and closely monitoring the situation. Assam Office has pre-positioned emergency supplies at the Indian Red Cross Warehouse in Guwahati, which can be handed over to State Government and/or local partners for relief . Partnerships are also in place with NGO networks in the state, including the Rural Volunteers Centre in Dhemaji district adjacent to Lakhimpur district. NGO RESPONSE Rural Volunteers Centre, Dhemaji district, Assam Rapid Assessment report of Flood in Dhakuakhana Sub -division of Lakhimpur district of Assam (2 July): Onset of situation: The flood water reached about 89 villages of 8 GPs of Dhakuakhana and Ghilamora blocks of Dhakuakhana sub-division of Lakhimpur district on mid-night of 30 June 2009 and completely inundated these villages on 1 July 2009 through the unplugged breach point in the embankment of river Brahmaputra, which is about 3 km wide opening since year 2007 -08. These are the same villages recurrently affected by floods and erosion since 2004 onwards. In the flood 2007 a major portion of these blocks were sand casted due to breaches in the embankment. The erosion was also an acute problem and around 400 families have been living on the embankment since 2004 as their villages were completed eroded away by the erosion. As the river Brahmaputra is flowing above the DL from Pashighat (the debounching point at Arunachal Pradesh) to Nimati ghat (at Jorhat district) and the trend is rising it is also reported by the IMD and CWC that the catchment area of river Brahmaputra in Arunachal Pradesh is receiving good rainfall so the flood water will more influx into the villages. Though the state government tried to construct and plug the embankment by using the geo -textile technology very lately so the embankment could not plugged. As per the office of sub-divisional commissioner's of Dhakuakhana sub-division the office could not gather the damage report due to very bad weather and communication is totally cut off. In the discussion with the CO -Dhakauhana also the relief officer for the sub- division informed they are compiling the reports received from the lat mandals and gaon burha-s and the relief materials will be released accordingly, they also informed that a team of the NDRF is placed in the sub -division to operate the rescue if required. The official sources have informed that the schools are closed in the affected villages due to announcement of summer vacation and the ICDS center will also remain closed for the time being. The sub-divisional chief medical officers also informed that they have established a network with the ASHA workers to inform any serious injury or death during flood according to information they have till the report prepared no any major injury or accident and death reported from the affected villages. The m edical official sources informed that the hospital, health centers and health sub -centers are under water but the ANM and other medical staff will be in the village till no further instruction is provided. The village level information of the affected villages collected from the CO, SDO and police sources.

The food production status of the sub -division is badly affected by the sand deposition and 4 Sit Rep - Assam Floods–03 July 2009 recurring flood thus though 90% of the families are cultivators but they are buying rice and other vegetables from the markets. The damage in the road communication thus may cause food shortage in the interior areas after three days. • Most of the families are reluctant to go the government relief camps, as no adequate provision has been made to the camp inmates, the relief camps are the last option for them.

The Flood Situation of Assam – A Case Study Mukul Chandra Bora Lecturer (Sélection Grade) in Civil Engineering Dibrugarh Polytechnic, Lahowal: Pin: 786010 Assam, India Abstract The problem caused by water may broadly be catagorised into two major groups’ viz. shortage of water and surplus of water. Shortage of water causes drought and surplus water causes flood. The water is the vital ingredients for the survival of human being but sometimes it may cause woe to the human life not due to insufficient water but due to abundant water which in turn causes the natural disaster called as flood. Assam is situated at the easternmost part of India. Geographically it is at the foothills of the Himalaya. Every year Assam experiences a huge amount of losses due to devastating flood caused by the river Brahmaputra. The losses are more in few places like (Majuli, the biggest river Island), Dhemaji, North Lakhimpur, Dhakuakhana and few places of Barak valley in Assam. The problem of flood is very old in Assam and the solution is very much difficult due to complex and devastating nature of the River Brahmaputra. Both short term and long term measures are sometimes failed to mitigate the losses caused by flood.

The data obtained were within the standard, permissible limits of WHO. The variations of the pH values were not vary large but an increase was noticeable during winter and a lowering during the post monsoon period. All the water samples were found either soft or moderately hard. The total hardness values were comparatively higher in the water samples collected during the dry season. Fluoride and nitrate contents were found slightly higher during post-monsoon period. Key words : pH, Hardness, Fluoride, Nitrate INTRODUCTION The environment for any living organism has never been constant or static . Comprising over 71% earth’s surface, water is unquestionably the most precious natural resource that exists on our planet 1. Although water is very abundant on this earth, yet it is very precious. Out of the total water reserves of the world, about 97% is salty water (Marine) and only 3% is freshwater.

  • District Hiv/Aids Epidemiological Profiles
    DISTRICT HID/AIDS EPIDEMIOLOGICAL PROFILES Developed using data triangulation Assam Factsheet 2014 Assam State AIDS Control Society Khanapara, Guwahati-22 Foreword The National AIDS Control Programme (NACP) is strongly evidence-based and evidence-driven. Based on evidence from ‘Triangulation of Data’ from multiple sources and giving due weightage to vulnerability, the organizational structure of NACP has been decentralized to identified districts for priority attention. The programme has been successful in creating a robust database on HIV/AIDS through the HIV Sentinel Surveillance system, monthly programme reporting data and various research studies. However, the district level focus of the programme demands consolidated information that helps better understand HIV/AIDS scenario in each district, to enable effective targeting of prevention and treatment interventions to the vulnerable population groups and geographic areas. This technical document prepared by the SIMU division of Assam SACS is a follow up exercise of the detailed District epidemiological profiles report 2013 prepared using the information collected and analyzed during the data triangulation exercise conducted during 2011-12. The 2013 report provided useful information support to the district level health functionaries but at the same time we were informed that a concise report will be even better. So, keeping this in mind, the 2014 report is being prepared in a factsheet format which is adapted from the District Epidemiological factsheets prepared by NACO and using updated information. The reports are prepared by some of the ICTC, PPTCT, Blood bank and STI counselors who are supported by a group of Public Health experts from medical colleges and state programme officials and we are grateful to each of them for their support in this activity.

  • Conservation of Gangetic Dolphin in Brahmaputra River System, India
    CONSERVATION OF GANGETIC DOLPHIN IN BRAHMAPUTRA RIVER SYSTEM, INDIA Final Technical Report A. Wakid Project Leader, Gangetic Dolphin Conservation Project Assam, India Email: [email protected] 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT There was no comprehensive data on the conservation status of Gangetic dolphin in Brahmaputra river system for last 12 years. Therefore, it was very important to undertake a detail study on the species from the conservation point of view in the entire river system within Assam, based on which site and factor specific conservation actions would be worthwhile. However, getting the sponsorship to conduct this task in a huge geographical area of about 56,000 sq. km. itself was a great problem. The support from the BP Conservation Programme (BPCP) and the Rufford Small Grant for Nature Conservation (RSG) made it possible for me. I am hereby expressing my sincere thanks to both of these Funding Agencies for their great support to save this endangered species. Besides their enormous workload, Marianne Dunn, Dalgen Robyn, Kate Stoke and Jaimye Bartake of BPCP spent a lot of time for my Project and for me through advise, network and capacity building, which helped me in successful completion of this project. I am very much grateful to all of them. Josh Cole, the Programme Manager of RSG encouraged me through his visit to my field area in April, 2005. I am thankful to him for this encouragement.

  • Honourable Speaker Sir, I Rise to Present the Budget Estimates for The
    Honourable Speaker Sir, I rise to present the budget estimates for the financial year 2012-13. 1. Economic environment : 1.1 Before I proceed to present my budget proposals, I would like to apprise the Honourable Members of this august House about the overall economic environment and financial position of the State. 1.2 The growth rate of GSDP in the State during the 9 th Plan period was 1.51 % which increased to 5.33% during the 10 th Plan period. Due to special developmental initiatives of our Government the State has been able to achieve an annual average growth rate of 6.86% during the 11 th Plan period and is expecting a growth rate of 8.42% (advance estimates) by the end of the 11 th Five Year Plan. If we can maintain the present trend of accelerated growth rate with the help of the multiplier effects of progress already achieved, then we can hope for a projected growth rate of around 9.38% during the 12th Plan period. Agricultural growth rate of the State was negative during the 9 th Plan period. This improved steadily during the 10 th and 11 th Plans. With projected average growth rate of 4.81%, we have been able to achieve the national target of 4% agricultural growth rate during the 11 th Plan. This achievement is all the more remarkable if we take into account the fact that the actual projected national growth rate of agriculture during the 11 th Plan period is 3.06% against the target of 4%.
