STATISTICAL TABLES 359 2 PART-I 1) ECONOMIC SITUATION Background: Economic performances, development strategies and achievements of the State's economy during the fiscal year 2016-17 have been focused and analysed in this "Economic Review of Tripura, 2016-17". It is the 18th un-interrupted time-series analysis, which put forward the chapters, especially for the fiscal year 2016-17, with previous year's references and data as far as possible. The new initiatives and potential areas of development strategies covering all the districts as well as constraints faced in the process of economic prosperity of the State have also been analysed. State profile: Tripura, erstwhile princely state, merged with the Indian Union after independence on 15th October 1949 and became a Union Territory without a legislature with effect from November 1, 1956 and a popular ministry was installed in Tripura on July 1, 1963. Tripura became a fully fledged State on the 21st January, 1972 and is the third smallest State of the Country, located in the North Eastern Region. The State is surrounded by the neighbouring country Bangladesh on its south, west and north. The length of its international border with Bangladesh is about 856 km (i.e. about 84 percent of its total border), while it has 53 km border with Assam and 109 km border with Mizoram. Forest area is over 60 percent of its land use statistics and predominant, leaving only 27 percent land for agricultural cultivation. A large part of the land is up-land / tilla land and hilly, with altitudes varying from 15 to 940 meters above sea level, though majority of the population lives in the plains. Tripura is connected with the rest of the Country by National Highway-44, which runs through the hilly terrains of Cachar District in Assam followed by zigzag roads of hilly regions of Meghalaya and then to Guwahati, the capital city of Assam, via Shillong, the capital city of Meghalaya. 3 Agartala, the capital city of Tripura, connected to the country's railway network in 2008 through a meter gauge track. Broad-Gauge conversion work from Lumding to Agartala via Badarpur has been completed. On 31st July 2016 the Railway Minister of India inaugurated the Agartala-New Delhi ‘Tripura Sundari Express’, linking the broad gauge with the rest of the country. Railway Minister of India, on 25th January 2017, also flagged off a train to inaugurate a new broad-gauge railway line to connect Agartala with Udaipur, the district headquarter of Gomati, by video-conferencing from Delhi. The work for further extension of railway line from Udaipur to Sabroom, the southernmost border town of Tripura, into broad gauge has been sanctioned by the Ministry of Railway, Government of India. The State Government have been pursuing with the Ministry of Railway, Government of India for getting attractive benefits of the railway service. Governments of India and Bangladesh laid the foundation stone for a project on 31st July 2016 for a new rail link to ease surface transport. India will build a 15-km railway tracks linking Tripura's capital Agartala with Bangladesh's southeastern city of Akhaura, an important railway junction connected to Chittagong port. The Indian Railway Construction Company would lay the new railway tracks on both sides of the border. Of the 15 km rail line, five km of tracks fall in the Indian Territory. The Government of Tripura has reorganised the administrative units in 2012 by creating 4-new Districts, 6-new Sub-Divisions and 5-new Blocks in-order to further decentralise the administration for better and effective delivery of services and effective implementation and monitoring of the development programmes. The State has now 8-Districts, 23-Sub- Divisions, 58-Blocks and 1-Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) created under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution. The prominent hill ranges of the State are Jampui, Sakhantang, Longtharai, Atharamura, Baramura, Deotamura, Belkum and Kalajhari. Betling Shib (939 meters), situated in the Jampui Range, is the highest peak of Tripura. The important forest products include sal, teak, gamai, gurjan and champa. The Gumati, Howrah, Dhalai, Muhuri, Feni and Juri are the major rivers which swell in monsoon but become shallow during the rest of the year. Tripura has a tropical climate and receives adequate rainfall during the monsoons. The State is situated between latitudes 22°56' and 24°32' North, and longitudes 90°09' and 92°20' East. It has an area of 10,491.69 sq. km. It has diverse range of topography, people, flora and fauna. Local flora and fauna bear a very close affinity and resemblance 4 with floral and faunal components of Indo-Malayan and Indo-Chinese sub-regions. The State is located in the bio-geographic zone of 9B-North- East hills and possesses an extremely rich bio-diversity. There are 266- species of medicinal plants, 379-tree species, 320-shrubs, 581-herbs, 165-climbers, 16-climbing shrubs, 35-ferns, 45-epiphytes and 4- parasites. Moreover, there are 50-species endemic to Tripura. 2-primitive plants and 7-endangered plants are also found in Tripura. There are 90 mammal species in Tripura. Effect of the partition of the country on Tripura: The partition of India in 1947 had an enormous and enduring impact on the process of social and economic development of Tripura. The partition was perhaps the largest movement of evicted people in modern history. It witnessed a heavy influx of refugees into Tripura from erstwhile East Pakistan, now Bangladesh, who arrived with little wealth in hand. On the otherhand, the partition resulted in a huge infrastructural and economic set- back for Tripura. The State's resources came under severe strain due to heavy influx of refugees into the State from erstwhile East Pakistan, mainly due to its long international border. It lost all its rail-heads-to the west, south and north-as they fell in East Pakistan, now Bangladesh, and the State was then cut off from India's railway network. The distance by road from Agartala to Kolkata was less than 350 km before partition. After partition, the route to Kolkata via Siliguri land corridor became 1,700 km long. The partition thus aggravated the geo-political isolation of Tripura and indeed, of the entire north eastern region. Demographic profile: The population of Tripura as per Census 2011 was 36,73,917, out of which 18,74,376 males and 17,99,541 females. The data of Census-2011 shows that Tripura ranks 18th in terms of density of population at all India level. Among the north-eastern states, Tripura remained the second highest populous State after Assam. The population density of Tripura in 2011 was 350 persons per sq.km., which means that 45 more people live in a sq. km. area in the State then they lived a decade ago. The population density for all India in 2011 was 324. There is a positive improvement in sex ratio in the State as it rose from 945 (per 1000 males) in 1991 to 948 (per 1000 males) in 2001 and further to 960 in 2011. 5 Scheduled Tribe Population: The population of Tripura is characterized by social diversity. The people of the Scheduled Tribes (ST) comprise about one-third of the population. As per Census-2011, ST population of the State was 11,66,813 which is 31.75 percent of the total population of the State. The total ST male was 5,88,327 and ST female was 5,78,486.There are 19- sub tribes among the ST population of the State with their own cultural identity, namely i) Tripuri, ii) Reang, iii) Jamatia, iv) Chakma, v) Lusai, vi) Mog, vii) Garo, viii) Kuki, ix) Chaimal, x) Uchai, xi) Halam, xii) Khasia, xiii) Bhutia, xiv) Munda, xv) Orang, xvi) Lepcha, xvii) Santal, xviii) Bhil and xix) Noatia. Schedule Caste Population: The Census-2011 data shows that SC population of the State was 6,54,918 (17.8 percent). The total SC male was 3,34,370 and SC female was 3,20,548. The demography of Scheduled Castes in the State is not confined to any particular location or 'paras' or 'bastis'; instead it is scattered in all regions of the State. Literacy:- The literacy and education are reasonably good indicators of development in a society.

    BIODATA Born to a family of theatre practioners and painters, Ashes was inherently inspired to think of the world in terms of colour. As he grew up, he took to the brush quite naturally. This passion for colours , both on and off canvas, prompted him to pursue a theoretical formulation of colour-usage- colour response application in te xtual space for his doctoral thesis. His love for the North East of India, his homeland, has been the stimulus behind much of his academic and critical work ranging from situating Mamang Dai’s poetry in an authentic NE philosophic and aesthetic paradigm to analyzing the mnemonics of recall foregrounding refugee narratives and comprehending the plebian banter at work in subverting divinity as a remote construct in popular dance performances by the subalterns. As a professor in the department of English, Tripura University, Ashes has been trying to promote NE literature and culture persistently. In his capacity as a documentary film maker on aspects of NE and Tripura, he has created a rich audio-visual archive of lesser known aspects of his homeland. His academic endeavor has been to interrogate the notion of perceived marginality attributed to the North East and to counter such ‘mainstream motives’ by circumscribing an academic and cultural space with NE as the centre. Having widely travelled Ashes has represented the NE and Tripura across various lit. fests such as Goa Art and Literature Fest, Kaziranga Lit. Fest. Guwahati, Rivertalks Guwahati, World Book Fair N. Delhi, Converse Gangtok, to name a few. His remarkable literary works include Colourscapes: Theorising Colours, The Fragrant Joom-Translation of Modern Kokborok Poetry to English, The Fragrant Joom Revisited: A Translation of Modern Kokborok Poetry to English; The Mystic Mountain: An Anthology of Tripura Bangla Poetry in English, The Golden Rendezvous, Phoenix etal.

  • 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.

  • Existing Health Care Services in Tripura
    CHAPTER – IV EXISTING HEALTH CARE SERVICES IN TRIPURA 4.1 Present Health Care Services in Tripura This research work is oriented to provide an overview of the existing health care system and its utilization in India with special reference to Rural Tripura. Utilization is nothing but the satisfied demand. If at any given period of time, a part of population with a self-perceived medical problem thinks that the problem is worthy of treatment then they constitute a group with self-perceived need of care. Among those with a self-perceived need there will be some who will translate this need into the action of seeking care. Again part of those demanding will indeed obtain care. This group represents satisfied demand or utilization. In this chapter an attempt has been made to analyse the utilization of health care facilities in rural Tripura. But before going through the relevant details it is desirable to have a brief notion about the state profile of Tripura. 96 4.2 Tripura-State Profile a) Location Tripura is a hilly State in North East India, located on the extreme corner of the Indian sub –continent. It lies approximately between 22056‟N and 24032‟N northern latitudes and 91009‟E and 92020‟E eastern longitude. The State is bordered by the neighboring country Bangladesh (East Bengal) to the North, South and West and Indian State of Assam and Mizoram to the east. The length of its International border with Bangladesh is about 856 km (i.e. about 84 percent of its total border) while it has 53 km border with Assam and 109 km border with Mizoram.

  • Tripura's Tryst with Literacy
    ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 Tripura's Tryst with Literacy GORKY CHAKRABORTY, SUBHANIL CHOWDHURY Vol. 48, Issue No. 42, 19 Oct, 2013 Subhanil Chowdhury ([email protected]) and Gorky Chakraborty ([email protected]) teach at the Institute of Development Studies, Kolkata Tripura’s achievement in ensuring near full literacy is a consequence of initiatives taken at the level of governance, peoples’ participation and political will. As the public discourse today scrutinises the “development model” of the state of Gujarat ever so furiously, a significant milestone achieved by a small state in the much ignored North-East curiously has been given little coverage to. Tripura has become the most literate state in the country overtaking Kerala (itself, the owner of another “model” and a success story in social development). Manik Sarkar, the Chief Minister of Tripura in a press conference stated that as on date the literacy rate in the state was 94.65%. He also pointed out that Tripura is still short of attaining full literacy which the government will try and achieve soon (The Hindu, 9 September 2013). This achievement of Tripura shows how initiatives at the level of governance, peoples’ participation and political will can ensure education for all. Improvement in Literacy The remarkable improvement of Tripura in literacy is shown in the following table, along with other north-eastern states (and others that have been in the limelight recently). Table 1: Literacy Rates in Tripura and Other States State 1991 2001 2011 Tripura 60.44 73.19 87.75 Arunachal 41.59 54.34 66.95 Pradesh Nagaland 61.65 66.59 80.11 Manipur 59.89 70.53 79.85 Mizoram 82.26 88.80 91.58 Meghalaya 49.1 62.56 75.48 Assam 52.89 63.25 73.18 Kerala 89.81 90.86 93.91 Gujarat 61.29 69.14 79.31 ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 Source: Economic Survey, Government of India, 2012-13 Table 1 shows that Tripura has increased its literacy rate by around 27 percentage points between 1991 and 2011.

  • Ichthyofaunal Diversity of Jinari River in Goalpara
    CIBTech Journal of Zoology ISSN: 2319–3883 (Online) Online International Journal Available at http://www.cibtech.org/cjz.htm 2020 Vol.9, pp.30-35/Borah and Das Research Article [Open Access] ICHTHYOFAUNAL DIVERSITY OF JINARI RIVER IN GOALPARA, ASSAM, INDIA Dhiraj Kumar Borah and *Jugabrat Das Department of Zoology, Goalpara College, Goalpara, Assam, India, *Author for Correspondence: [email protected] ABSTRACT The present study attempts to access the ichthyofaunal diversity of Jinari river in Goalpara district of Assam, India. There was no previous report on piscine diversity of this river in Assam. Survey was conducted in the lower stretch of the river in Goalpara district from April 2018 to March 2019. Fish specimens were collected from five pre-selected sites, preserved and identified adopting standard methods. A total of 74 fish species belonging to nine (9) orders, 26 families and 58 genera were recorded. Cypriniformes was the dominant order with 35 species followed by Siluriformes with 19 species. IUCN status shows two vulnerable, eight near threatened and 66 species under the least concern category. Prevalence of anthropogenic threats like garbage dispersal and agricultural pesticide flow to the river, setting of brick industries on the bank, poison fishing in the upper stretch etc. may affect the fish population in this river. In this regard, awareness is the need of the hour among the inhabitants of the surrounding villages. Keywords: Ichthyofauna, Jinari River, Goalpara, Brahmaputra River, Assam INTRODUCTION The Northeastern region of India is considered to be one of the hotspots of freshwater fish biodiversity in the world (Ramanujam et al., 2010).

Haque Department of Fisheries Management, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh 2202, Bangladesh 1Ptresent address: Bangladesh Fisheries Research Institute, Riverine Station, Chandpur 3602 *Corresponding author Abstract Baseline survey and Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) during January 2003 to December 2004 on the fishing community revealed that unregulated fishing, use of destructive fishing gears, poaching of fishes, difficulties encountered in enforcing fisheries regulation and the helplessness of fishers to find alternative sources of income during banned fishing period (June to October) were the major management problems. CBFM (Community Based Fisheries Management) system as an alternative management strategy has been introduced to ensure active participation of the target group-the poor fishers living around the beet who were previously deprived to get access to the beet. Establishing a leasing system for controlled access, ensuring greater user-group participation through equitable distribution of all resource benefits among members, attempting to enforce penalties for illegal fishing linked with surprise checks to enforce management regulations are some of the recent steps taken by the BMC (Beet Management Committee). Chapila fish intake by the community was 31.25 g/head/day before stocking the beet by carp fingerlings. After stocking, they consumed chapila as fish protein from 8.33 g to 20.8 g/head/day during the fishing season (November to May) indicating that due to introduction of carp fingerlings, chapila production has been decreased in 2003-2004.
