  • District Hiv/Aids Epidemiological Profiles

    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.

    PLP 2016-17 Dhubri District

    PLP 2016-17 Dhubri District EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The theme for the PLP 2015-16 is “Accelerating the pace of capital formation in agriculture and allied sector”. 1. Introduction to PLP for 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 selected for the PLP 2016-17 is “Accelerating the pace of capital formation in agriculture and allied sector”. The PLP maps the potential in priority sector which could be exploited with institutional credit within a specified time frame. PLP is 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 required to be provided by line departments to facilitate credit flow as planned are also listed in the PLP. NABARD in the year 2012-13 had prepared Base PLP for five years, coterminous with the XII Five year plan-(2012-17). The Base PLP projected a five year credit potential under priority sector covering Primary, Secondary and Tertiary sectors, with an emphasis on the Primary sector. These projections were based on parameters such as technical feasibility, availability of infrastructure, availability of exploitable resources, cropping pattern, agriculture practices and other developmental indices such as access to markets, etc. Some of these parameters may have undergone a change in the district since the finalization of Base PLP on account of factors such as changes in Government’s priorities and policies, strengthening of rural infrastructure, market forces, cost escalation, etc., necessitating a re-look at the credit potential for the year 2016-17.

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.

    1.2 HISTORY: Kokrajhar Was Originally a Part of the Undivided Goalpara District

    DISTRICT DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN, KOKRAJHAR 2011-12 1 1. DISTRICT AT A GLANCE 1.1 GENERAL: Kokrajhar is one of the twenty-seven (27) districts of the state of Assam and can be said to be the gateway to the north-eastern region of India. Both road and rail networks touch this district at Srirampur before they go on to other districts in Assam and the other north- eastern states. The district has a total area of 3,169.22 sq. km and a total population of 8,86,999 as per Census, 2011 on transfer of some areas under newly created Chirang district in 2003. Kokrajhar district is located on the north bank of the river Brahmaputra that slices the state of Assam into two, identified as north and south banks. The district lies roughly between 89o46' to 90o38' east longitudes and between 26o19' to 26o54' north latitudes. The district is bounded on the north by the Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan, by Dhubri district on the south, Chirang district on the east and the interstate boundary of West Bengal on the west. 1.2 HISTORY: Kokrajhar was originally a part of the undivided Goalpara district. Till 1956, it was merely a small village with a railway station that connected it to the rest of the world. In 1957, a new Civil Sub-division was created after carving out the northern part of Dhubri Sub-division and some parts of Goalpara Sub-division. The area covered by the then Kokrajhar Sub-division consisted of five tracts of the Eastern Dooars, viz., Bijni, Sidli, Chirang, Ripu and Guma with a total area of 4,065.88 sq.
