Anonymous Prepared by RSP Green Development & Laboratories Pvt. Ltd.Howrah,West Bengal DISTRICT SURVEY REPORT (NORTH TRIPURA, TRIPURA) 1. PREFACE On 15 January 2016, Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Government of India issued a notification and in which Para 7(iii) (a) and Annexure (x) purpose and structure of District Survey Report has been discussed. District Survey report (DSR) will be prepared in every district for each minor mineral. The District Survey Report will guide systematic and scientific utilization of natural resources, so that present and future generation may be benefited at large. The guidelines of MoEF will support that fundamental concept, promoting environmental protection, limiting negative physiological, hydrological and social impacts under pinning sustainable economic growth. Sand is naturally occurring granular material composed of finely divided rock and mineral particles between 115 µ to 4.75 mm in diameter (IS 383-1970). Sand is formed due to weathering of rocks due to mechanical forces. In the process the weathered rocks form gravel at first and then sand. It is also felt that the grater use of substitute material (manufactured sand, artificial sand etc.) and construction technology and sustainable use of the resource could drastically reduce adverse impact of mining on the environment. The broad principal on which any sustainable sand mining guidelines or policy can be based is that river or natural resources must be utilized for the benefit of the preset and future generation, so river resources should be prudently managed and developed. The purpose of District Survey report (DSR) has been described as"identification of areas of aggradations or deposition where mining can be allowed; and identification of areas of erosion and proximity to infrastructural structures and installations where mining should be prohibited and calculation of annual rate of replenishment and allowing time for replenishment after mining in that area". The District Survey report (DSR) will contain mainly data published and endorsed by various departments and websites about Geology of the area, Mineral wealth details of rivers, Details of Lease and Mining activity in the District along with Sand mining and revenue of minerals. This report also contains details of Forest, Rivers, Soil, Agriculture, Road, Transportation and climate etc. 4 | Prepared by: RSP Green Development & Laboratories Pvt.Ltd.Howrah,W:B DISTRICT SURVEY REPORT (NORTH TRIPURA, TRIPURA) In the North-Eastern part of Tripura, the district covers an area of about 1422.19 sq. Km.There is only one north south striking hill range (Jampui hills) is located along the eastern boundary of the district . About 70% area is hilly andforest and river course covered.

INTRODUCTION Tripura, initially a one district state, was trifurcated into three Districts w.e.f. 01.09.1970. The North Tripura District started functioning in the office of the Sub-divisional officer at Kailashahar and partly at Kumarghat, later the whole office was shifted to Kailashahar. The Collectorate was shifted to the newly constructed complex at Gournagar on 13.11.1987, subsequently North Tripura District has been bifurcated and a new District namely "Dhalai district " has been inaugurated on 14.04.1995 with district head quarter at Ambassa. On 21.01.2012 the decision to further bifurcate North Tripura District was accepted and the district "Unakoti district" has been created with its headquarter at Kailashahar & North Tripura district headquarter shifted to Dharmanagar. .North Tripuradistrict of Tripura (Fig. 1) is located between 23°39′ N to 24°31′ N latitude and between 92°10′ E to 92°20′ E longitude from (google earth). The district are bordered by Bangladesh on both the north and the south, by Assam and Mizoram on the east, by Unokoti and Dhalai districts of Tripura on the west. It shares a total international boundary of about 45 kilometers with Bangladesh (measured in Google earth). The district is accessible with rest of Tripura including the capital city Agartala through National Highway 44. The Headquarter of the district is located at Dharmanagar. In Tripura, the mineral resources are mainly glass sands, limestone, plastic clay and hard rock; all of these materials are being used to a variable degree. However, the single most important resources in the state is oil and natural gas. ONGC has initiated massive exploration programme in the state. 6 | Prepared by: RSP Green Development & Laboratories Pvt.Ltd.Howrah,W:B DISTRICT SURVEY REPORT (NORTH TRIPURA, TRIPURA) Map 1: Administrative map of North Tripura District Source : North Tripura District Profile 7 | Prepared by: RSP Green Development & Laboratories Pvt.Ltd.Howrah,W:B DISTRICT SURVEY REPORT (NORTH TRIPURA, TRIPURA) 3.

  • 1 Hydrological Impacts of Climate Change on Rice
    Hydrological impacts of climate change on rice cultivated riparian wetlands in the Upper Meghna River Basin (Bangladesh and India) Mohammed M. Rahman a,b,*, Julian R. Thompson b, and Roger J. Flower b a Department of Irrigation and Water Management, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, Bangladesh b Wetland Research Unit, Department of Geography, University College London, London WC1E 6BT, UK * Corresponding author: email [email protected] Tel: +88 01717 825850; Fax: +88 091 61510 Abstract Riparian depressional wetlands (haors) in the Upper Meghna River Basin of Bangladesh are invaluable agricultural resources. They are completely flooded between June and November and planted with Boro rice when floodwater recedes in December. However, early harvest period (April/May) floods frequently damage ripening rice. A calibrated/validated Soil and Water Assessment Tool for riparian wetland (SWATrw) model is perturbed with bias free (using an improved quantile mapping approach) climate projections from 17 general circulation models (GCMs) for the period 2031–2050. Projected mean annual rainfall increases (200–500 mm per 7–10%). However, during the harvest period lower rainfall (21–75%) and higher evapotranspiration (1–8%) reduces river discharge (5–18%) and wetland inundation (inundation fraction declines of 0.005–0.14). Flooding risk for Boro rice consequently declines (rationalized flood risk reductions of 0.02–0.12). However, the loss of cultivable land (15.3%) to increases in permanent haor inundation represents a major threat to regional food security. Keywords haor wetlands; Boro rice; floods; Bangladesh; climate change; SWAT 1 Introduction The potential consequences of climate change on hydrological processes and associated sectors such as water resources, agriculture, aquatic ecology and human livelihoods have been extensively documented (e.g.

  • Bru-Reang-Final Report 23:5
    Devising Pathways for Appropriate Repatriation of Children of Bru-Reang Community Ms. Stuti Kacker (IAS) Chairperson National Commission for Protection of Child Rights The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) emphasizes the principle of universality and inviolability of child rights and recognises the tone of urgency in all the child related policies of the country. It believes that it is only in building a larger atmosphere in favour of protection of children’s rights, that children who are targeted become visible and gain confidence to access their entitlements. Displaced from their native state of Mizoram, Bru community has been staying in the make-shift camps located in North Tripura district since 1997 and they have faced immense hardship over these past two decades. Hence, it becomes imperative for the National Commission of Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) to ensure that the legal and constitutional rights of children of this community are protected. For the same purpose, NCPCR collaborated with QCI to conduct a study to understand the living conditions in the camps of these children and devise a pathway for the repatriation and rehabilitation of Bru-Reang tribe to Mizoram. I would like to thank Quality Council of India for carrying out the study effectively and comprehensively. At the same time, I would like to express my gratitude to Hon’ble Governor of Mizoram Lt. Gen. (Retd.) Nirbhay Sharma, Mr. Mahesh Singla, IPS, Advisor (North-East), Ministry of Home Affairs, Ms. Saumya Gupta, IAS, Director of Education, Delhi Government (Ex. District Magistrate, North Tripura), State Government of Tripura and District Authorities of North Tripura for their support and valuable inputs during the process and making it a success.

The epicenter of this earthquake was Kanchanbari located in the Dhalai district of Tripura. The present study aims to assess the environmental and socio-economic impact of this earthquake in the vicinity of the epicenter. To assess and determine the level of damage, the affected areas were visited during the first week of the 2017 earthquake. Various Government offices were also consulted to acquire data on damages caused by the earthquake. Moreover, Remote Sensing and Geographical Information System (RS & GIS) techniques were applied to address the influence of this earthquake on bank erosion. During the field visit, the striking features of soil liquefaction generated by the earthquake were observed in the flood plain area of the Manu River. Landslide, with three casualties in India and the neighbor Bangladesh, and damages of infrastructure were also reported. Additionally, an assessment of the bank erosion study revealed that the rate of the post-earthquake bank erosion increased to 592%, compared to the pre-earthquake bank erosion within the study length of the Manu River.

He has served in two United Nation Mission assignments, besides attending two security related courses in the USA and Russia. He earned his Ph.D based on for his deep study on the North-East India. He is presently posted as Deputy Inspector General of Police, Central Reserve Police Force in Manipur. http://www.vifindia.org ©Vivekananda International Foundation Page 3 of 22 Displaced Brus from Mizoram in Tripura: Time for Resolution Abstract History has been witness to the conflict-induced internal displacement of people in different states of Northeast India from time to time. While the issues of such displacement have been resolved in most of the North-eastern States, the displacement of Brus from Mizoram has remained unresolved even over past two decades. Over 35,000 Brus have been living in six makeshift relief camps in North Tripura's Kanchanpur, areas adjoining Mizoram under inhuman conditions since October 1997. They had to flee from their homes due to ethnic violence in Mizoram. Ever since, they have been confined to their relief camps living on rations doled out by the state, without proper education and health facilities. Called Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), some of the young Brus from these camps have joined militant outfits out of desperation. There have been several rounds of talks among the stakeholders without any conclusive and time-bound resolutions.

  • India's North-East Diversifying Growth Opportunities
    INDIAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE India’s North-East Diversifying Growth Opportunities www.pwc.com/in 2 ICC - PwC Report Foreword To be socially, and economically sustainable, India’s growth story needs to be inclusive. However, the country’s north east has been experiencing a comparatively slower pace of industrialisation and socio-economic growth. Though the region is blessed with abundant natural resources for industrial development and social development, they have not been utilised to their full potential. The region has certain distinct advantages. It is strategically located with access to the traditional domestic market of eastern India, along with proximity to the major states in the east and adjacent countries such as Bangladesh and Myanmar. The region is also a vantage entry point for the South-East Asian markets. The resource-rich north east with its expanses of fertile farmland and a huge talent pool could turn into one of India’s most prosperous regions. Yet, owing to its unique challenges, we believe that conventional market-based solutions may not work here, given the issues related to poor infrastructure and connectivity, unemployment and low economic development, law and order problems, etc. The government and the private sector need to collaborate and take the lead in providing solutions to these problems. More reform needs to be initiated in a range of areas, such as investment in agriculture, hydel power, infrastructure as well as in creating new avenues of growth through the development of vertically integrated food processing chains, market- linked skill development and cross-border trade. As multiple avenues for growth and development emerge, it is of paramount importance that the region, as a collective identity, embarks on a vibrant journey to realise the dreams of a better future.
