Arunachal Pradesh Arunachal Reporthuman Development
Arunachal Pradesh Human Development ReportHuman Development 2005 Arunachal Pradesh (Land of Dawn) is the largest State in North-East India. Home to 26 major tribes and 110 sub-tribes and minor tribes, Arunachal harbours a rich diversity of cultures. It is also one of the last reserves of exceptional biodiversity, which has been preserved for centuries by its indigenous communities, aided by its remoteness and relative isolation. With its abundant forests and rivers, the State has considerable potential for hydroelectricity, Arunachal Pradesh horticulture and floriculture, plantation agriculture, organic farming and food processing, medicinal plants and ecotourism. The challenge is to use appropriate technologies and Human Development Report processes that are environmentally sound and in keeping with the aspirations of the people; to create a truly sustainable development model. The Arunachal Pradesh Human Development Report 2005 evaluates the progress made by the 2005 State in recent years and helps to recognise its unique characteristics and special requirements. I am alarmed when I see — not only in this country but in other great countries too — how anxious people are to shape others according to their own image or likeness, and to impose on them their particular way of living. We are welcome to our way of living, but why impose it on others? This applies equally to national and international fields. In fact there would be more peace in the world if people would desist from imposing their way of living on other people and countries. I am not at all sure which is the better way of living, the tribal or our own. -

Class-7 New 2020.CDR
Class - VII Brief Introduction to Formation of Landforms Assam, located in tropical latitudes (24N˚ to 28N)˚ and eastern longitude (895˚ ’ E - 961˚’ E), is the most populous state in the North-east India. It is surrounded on three sides by hills and mountains. The river Brahmaputra and Barak flows in the north and south respectively. Assam is diverse in physical features and the major physiographical components are the senile plateau of Karbi-Anglong, representing a part of peninsular India, North Cachar hills which display the most youthful and highly differentiated relief features and the Brahmaputra and Barak plains present aggradational surfaces. Landmasses from Archaean to Tertiary origin bear the evidences of the evolutionary history of the earth in Assam and North-East India. The Karbi plateau is a part of Old-Gondwana land of more than 600 million years, the folded hills of North-Cachar belongs to tertiary period and the alluviums are of Quaternary Period. The North-Eastern region of India including Assam is situated in the merging zone of two Tectonic plates, namely the Indo-Australian and Euro-Asian plates. So the entire region is seismically very active. Physiographical Divisions of Assam On the basis of physical setup, Assam can be divided into three physiographical units: 1) The Brahmaputra valley or Assam valley 2) The Barak plain or Surma Valley 3) The hilly areas of Karbi-Anglong and North- Cachar Hill Districts Fig1.1: Physiographic Divisions of Assam. 40 The Brahmaputra Valley The most prominent physical feature in Assam is the Brahmaputra valley. This plain is surrounded by Bhutan and the Arunachal Himalayas in the north, Patkai Bum and Arunachal Hills in the east and Naga Hills, Karbi Plateau in the south. -
