EXECUTIVE SUMMARY the Criticality of Capital Formation ‘In’ and ‘For’ Agriculture Need Not Be Over Emphasized PLP 2016-17 Chirang District EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The criticality of capital formation ‘in’ and ‘for’ agriculture need not be over emphasized. However, the recent declining trend in investment credit vis-à-vis crop loan has serious implications for sustaining capital formation. The theme selected for the PLP 2015-16 is “Accelerating the pace of capital formation in agriculture and allied sector”. The PLP maps the potential in priority sectors which could be exploited with institutional credit within a specified time frame. PLP are intended to provide a meaningful direction to the flow of credit to different sectors at the ground level taking into account all relevant factors. The various linkage and other support required to be provided by line departments to facilitate credit flow as planned are also listed in the PLP. CHIRANG district is one of the four districts of Bodoland Territorial Area District (BTAD) under the Government of Assam. It is bounded by the Kingdom of Bhutan on the North, Bongaigaon district on the South, Baksa on the East and Kokrajhar on the West. The district has 2 sub-divisions Kajalgaon sadar and Bijni civil subdivision and 3 blocks – Sidli, Borobazar and Manikpur. The district Head quarters is well connected with other parts of the state.

Almost 50% of the district consists of foothills of Bhutan and the rest plain area with intermittent hillocks. The total geographical area of the district is 136926 Ha. The area under agriculture is 46767 Ha (42.52 % of total geographical area) and area under forest is 41037 Ha (37.31 % of total geographical area), which collectively cover 88722 Ha (79.83 % of total geographical area). As per the Census of India, 2011, the total population of the district is 481818 with rural population of 446290 (92.6% of total population). The agro climatic condition of the district is conducive for agriculture. The total number of land holding was 39986 covering an area of 47466 Ha. Out of total number of land holding 84% are small and marginal farmers owning land of 49% of total area (Agricultural Census, 2005-06).

The district has only1 Private Banks catering to the need of urban population. The CD ratio is 44% only for the district as a whole for the year ended 2014-15. The Policy Initiatives of the Government of India as announced during the Union Budget 2016-17 have been highlighted in Chapter I. Further, the State Government priorities as per budget announcement and other policy decisions affecting credit flow for agriculture and rural development have been given due coverage. The policy initiatives of the Reserve Bank of India and NABARD have been detailed for the reference of PLP users. In Chapter II, a gist of various ongoing Government Sponsored Programmes have also been highlighted. It is expected that this will serve as ready reckoner for the PLP users. The Base PLP projection (2012-17) for the year 2016-17 was estimated at ` 14472.50 lakh. However based on past few years GLC disbursement, operational constraints and others, this year projections have been updated and is estimated at ` 11723.05 lakh, comprising of ` 7999.97 lakh for Agriculture (` 4472.57 lakh for Crop Loans and ` 2471.65 lakh for Agri Term Loans), ` 2440.00 lakh for MSME Sector. The sub-sectoral projections for the year 2016-17 is given in page no 9. Crop Loan Paddy is the major crop grown in the district. Lack of irrigation facilities (especially during Rabi), poor electricity supply, and problems related to input procurement, absence of proper marketing facilities deplorable condition of rural roads etc., pose constraints. The projection for crop loan during 2016-17 is ` 4472.57 lakh. 1 PLP 2016-17 Chirang District Agriculture Term Loan Loans are also available to farmers for the activities other than seasonal agricultural operations, which are defined as loans more than 18 months repayment period. These loans are termed as Agriculture Term Loan or Investment Credit. The loans are given for purposes viz. Water resources, Animal Husbandry activities (Dairy, Poultry, SGP), Fisheries, farm mechanization, plantation and Horticulture etc. Under the head Agriculture term loan PLP projection of ` 2471.65 lakh has been fixed for the year 2016-17. Agriculture Infrastructure Agriculture Infrastructure Finance comprises of providing Bank loan for creation of Agriculture Infrastructure and its maintenance. The facilities are for construction of Cold storage, warehouses, market yard, godowns, silos and running of these units. Under the head PLP projection of ` 539.75 lakh has been fixed for the year 2016-17. Agriculture - Ancillary Activities According to the revised priority sector guidelines a new Agriculture sub head has been created. These include loans co-operative societies of farmers for disposing of the produce of members, Loans for Food and Agro-processing, loans to Bank loans to Primary Agricultural Credit Societies (PACS) and Loans sanctioned by banks to MFIs. Under the head PLP projection of ` 516.00 lakh has been fixed for the year 2016-17. MSME MSMEs are an important employment generating sector, especially in the backdrop of dwindling employment opportunities in the agriculture sector. Development of MSME helps in capital formation, growth of entrepreneurship among local people, reduced migration and ensures inclusive growth. Bank loans to micro and small enterprises in both manufacturing and service are eligible to be classified under priority sector. The industrial policy, of the state government, North East Industrial Promoting policy of GOI and MUDRA scheme may go a long way for industrial development. ` 2440.00 lakh is the projection under the sector for the year 2016-17. Education Education loan is a very important form of bank credit which is a boon for deserving and meritorious students who do not have ready resources for meeting the ever increasing cost of higher and technical education. As per the extant guidelines of RBI all loans to individual for educational purpose, including vocational courses, will be part of priority sector lending with a limit of ` 10.00 lakh. Under the head, PLP projection of ` 160.00 lakh has been fixed for the year 2016-17. Housing Constructing or purchasing a house demands a lot of resources and most of the people cannot still afford despite investing all their savings. Therefore, there is an urgent need for increasing credit flow to this sector. Considering this RBI has put housing as a separate sector under overall priority sector lending. Under the head, PLP projection of ` 768.00 lakh has been fixed for the year 2016-17. Renewable Energy Biogas being a renewable source of energy is user friendly and is a very good alternative source of energy. The Biogas & Manure Management Programme (BMMP) attaches great importance and priority to the use of Biogas. Under the head, PLP projection of ` 20.48 lakh has been fixed for the year 2016-17. Others According to the revised priority sector guidelines loans to SHGs, loans to distressed person, overdraft under PMJDY etc. are covered under “Others” as a separate sector under the overall priority sector loans. Under the head, PLP projection of ` 205.00 lakh has been fixed for the year 2016-17. 2 PLP 2016-17 Chirang District Social Infrastructure Under the head Schools, health care facilities, drinking water and sanitation facilities have now been brought under the ambit of PSL norms. Accordingly PLP projection for the year 2016-17 with an amount of ` 129.60 lakh have been fixed. Major Constraints and Suggested Action Points for State Govt. and Banking Sector The state government should give more importance to irrigation and power supply. Shortage of farm power is the main constraints to double or multiple cropping besides lack of quality power hinders the growth of micro, small and medium enterprises. Further, small land holding, availability of quantity ground water and rainfall concentration during monsoon provides more for minor irrigation. The existing canal irrigation systems are also not functioning well. Flood and O&M are the major hindrance for canal irrigation system. Hence, more emphasis should be given to the minor irrigation system. Private parties and Co-op societies may come forward for setting up cold storage and rural godowns with loan-cum-subsidy under the centrally sponsored schemes. The farmers may be made aware of different schemes of the government and banks. Extension service may be strengthened. Infrastructure Support Infrastructure provides an overview of infrastructure which is an index of the development status of an area or region. Indications are given to the State Government on the areas where investment in infrastructure would help in improving production in important sectors of the district’s economy. Also suggested in the chapter are lists of infrastructure components for which the State Government may consider for assistance under RIDF. Informal Credit Delivery System Efforts have been made to highlight innovative micro- Finance initiatives/ practices in the district. Further, for references of bankers a brief write up on a few well established NGOs involved in promotion of SHGs through micro-Finance, Joint Liability Groups (JLGs) have been discussed in chapter II.

It is not substantially the same as any that I have submitted, or, is being concurrently submitted for a degree or diploma or other qualification at the University of Cambridge or any other University or similar institution, except as declared in the Preface and specified in the text. I further state that no substantial part of my dissertation has already been submitted, or, is being concurrently submitted for any such degree, diploma or other qualification at the University of Cambridge or any other University or similar institution except as declared in the Preface and specified in the text. It does not exceed the prescribed word limit of 80,000 words of the Degree Committee for the Faculty of Earth Sciences & Geography. 2 Thesis Summary My thesis looks at the construction of citizenship in the Bodoland Territorial Area Districts (BTAD, or Bodoland for short) in Western Assam, India. The BTAD is an autonomous sub- region within the state of Assam, which in turn is part of a cluster of states in Northeast India. I look primarily at the everyday practices of the state in an ethnically diverse region with a history of separatism, armed militant struggle, and violence between different ethnic groups. Two related strands of difference underlie the notion of citizenship here — the territorialised expression of ethnicity as manifested in the Indian context; and the idea of India’s Northeast as being a space of exception vis-à-vis the rest of the country.

Space and Culture, India 2014, 2:1 Page | 24 RESEARCH ARTICLE OPEN ACCESS Spatial Pattern and Variation in Literacy among the Scheduled Castes Population in the Brahmaputra Valley, Assam Dr Momita Goswami Barooah† Abstract Scheduled Caste (SC) population constitutes a sizeable portion of the total population of Assam accounting for 6.32 per cent according to the 2011 Census. They comprise a socially backward class in the Indian society—downtrodden illiterate people of the Indian social fabric. Literacy and educational attainment are considered the hallmark of a modern society. The traits of the modern society, such as, industrialisation, modernisation and urbanisation are closely associated with the level of literacy and education. In the middle part of the 20th century, the literacy rate among them was very low. However, in the later part of the 20th century and in the current millennium due to the developmental measures implemented by both the Central as well as State Governments of India and due to the influence of mass media, there has been a change in the pattern of literacy. The literacy rate of the SC population in the Brahmaputra Valley, Assam was 66.34 per cent in 2011 against 61.15 per cent for general population, which is slightly lower than the SC population in the Valley. The study of the pattern of literacy among various social groups of SCs in the study area provides an insight into the socio-economic situations. An attempt has been made in this paper to analyse the spatial pattern of literacy and its variations among the scheduled caste population in the Brahmaputra Valley, Assam.

    THE POLITICAL ECOLOGY OF NON-COMPLIANCE: ENCROACHMENT, ILLICIT RESOURCE EXTRACTION, AND ENVIRONMENTAL GOVERNANCE IN THE MANAS TIGER RESERVE (INDIA) A Dissertation by DHANANJAYA KATJU Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Gerard Kyle Committee Members, Forrest Fleischman Thomas Lacher Paul Robbins Amanda Stronza Head of Department, Scott Shafer May 2018 Major Subject: Recreation, Park and Tourism Sciences Copyright 2018 Dhananjaya Katju ABSTRACT This research investigates the interaction between environmental conservation and management in a protected area and the livelihoods of rural producers set against the political backdrop of an ethnically diverse and conflicted socio-cultural landscape. The establishment of protected areas for biodiversity conservation frequently separates people from their physical environment through an overall curtailment of traditional natural resource use. Indigenous or tribal people are regularly viewed forest stewards and victims of conservation enclosures, while being simultaneously labeled as forest destroyers and encroachers on biodiversity conservation landscapes. While existing literature has documented the impacts of protected areas on tribal people, as well as the formation of environmental identities and subjectivities among forest-dwelling communities, scant attention has been paid to how their interactions mediate environmental governance. This dissertation addresses this gap with data from sixteen months of fieldwork in the Manas Tiger Reserve (or Manas; Assam, India) utilizing both qualitative and quantitative methods to evaluate the role of identity, livelihoods, and governance within a political ecology framework. A tribal identity within the Bodo ethnic group developed through interactions of within-group and externally-generated understandings of what it means to be ‘Bodo’, with the dialectic mediated by socio- cultural, political, economic, and ecological factors.

  • Executive Summary
    PLP 2016-17 Baksa District EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.i. Theme of PLP 2015-16 and Sectoral Projections for the year 2016-17 The criticality of capital formation ‘in’ and ‘for’ agriculture need not be overemphasized. However, the recent declining trend in investment credit vis-à-vis crop loan has serious implications for sustaining capital formation. The theme for the PLP 2016-17 is ‘Accelerating the pace of capital formation in agriculture and allied sector’. The PLP maps the potential in priority sectors which could be exploited with institutional credit within a specified time frame. PLPs are intended to provide a meaningful direction to the flow of credit to different sectors at the ground level taking into account all relevant factors. The various linkages and other support services required to be provided by line departments to facilitate credit flow as planned are also listed in the PLP.
