Under the visionary leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, Inland Water Transport is gaining momentum and a number of initiatives have been taken to give an impetus to this sector. IWAI received tremendous support from Hon’ble Minister for Ports, Shipping & Waterways, Shri Mansukh Mandaviya, to augment its activities. The Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI) under Ministry of Ports, Shipping & Waterways, came into existence on 27th October 1986 for development and regulation of inland waterways for shipping and navigation. The Authority primarily undertakes projects for development and maintenance of IWT infrastructure on National Waterways. To boost the use of Inland Water Transport in the country, Hon’ble Prime Minister have launched Jibondhara–Brahmaputra on 18th February, 2021 under which Ro-Ro service at various locations on NW-2 commenced, Foundation stone for IWT terminal at Jogighopa was laid and e-Portals (Car-D and PANI) for Ease-of-Doing-Business were launched. The Car-D and PANI portals are beneficial to stakeholders to have access to real time data of cargo movement on National Waterways and information on Least Available Depth (LAD) and other facilities available on Waterways. To promote the Inland Water Transport, IWAI has also signed 15 MoUs with various agencies during the launch of Maritime India Summit, 2021.

After decades of adopting peaceful means (with sporadic attacks on government property or staff), militant factions of the movement started targeting non-Bodo residents since the late 1980s. Over time, organizations and coalitions have emerged among non-Bodo communities – both recognized as indigenous or as marginalized immigrants such as Adivasis1 and Bengali-speaking Muslims2.

  • 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.

  • Introduction of the Bodos
    Chapter 2 Introduction of the Bodos India is a meeting ground of diverse races, cultures, civilizations, religions, languages, ethnic groups and societies. Streams of different human races like Austro-Asiatic, Negritos, Dravidians, Alpines, Indo-Mongoloids, Tibeto-Burman and Aryans penetrated in India at different periods through different routes .They migrated and settled in different parts of India making their own history, culture and civilization. They had contributed to the structuring of the great Indian culture, history and civilization. The Tibeto-Burman people are predominant in whole North-Eastern region. The Bodos are one of the earliest settlers in Assam. The older generation of scholars used the term 'Bodo' to denote the earliest Indo- Mongoloid migrants to eastern India who subsequently spread over different regions of Bengal, Assam and Tripura. Grierson identifies the Bodos as a section of the Assam-Burma group of the Tibeto-Burman speakers belonging to the Sino-Tibetan speech family.1 S.K. Chatterjee subscribes to the same view. According to him these people migrated to eastern India in the second millennium B.C. and a large portion of them was absorbed within societies of plains-man at quite an early state.2 Isolation caused fragmentation of the original stock and ultimately the branches assumed independent tribal identities like the Tipra, the Bodo-Kachari, the Rabha, the Dimsasa, the Chutiya etc. Rev. Sydney Endle, in his monograph, The Kacharis, used 'The Kachari' in the same wider sense incorporating all these branches. In present day socio-political terminology 'the Bodo' means the plain tribes of the Brahmaputra Valley known earlier as 'the Bodo-Kachari'.

  • A Series of Measures Taken by the Indian Government Has Enabled A
    Seamless connectivity www.worldcommercereview.com A series of measures taken by the Indian government has enabled a seamless connectivity through inland water transport among BBIN countries. Bipul Chatterjee and Veena Vidyadharan consider the effects on the region roviding a much-required boost to the inland water transport sector in India, the world’s largest shipping firm, Maersk moved 16 containers along National Waterway 1 from Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh) to Kolkata (West Bengal) recently in February, 2019. As container cargo transport through waterways reduces logistics cost and allows easier modal shift, this is expected to be a major leap in redefining the transport narrative for not Pjust India but also for its neighbouring countries of Bangladesh, Bhutan and Nepal. A series of measures has been taken by the Government of India in the past few years to improve the logistics infrastructure in the country. This includes setting up of logistics parks, multimodal terminals, Sagarmala Project1, e-mobility solutions and infrastructural development of rail, road and waterways. Despite these initiatives, India’s rank dropped from 35th to 44 in the recently published World Bank’s Logistics Performance Index (2018). Similar decline was observed in the case of Nepal (144) Bangladesh (100) and Bhutan (149) compared to previous data of 2016. Though the fruitfulness of the reform measures will take time to realise, it is to be mentioned that the thrust to develop inland waterways for trade and transport got intensified lately after the declaration of National Waterways Act in 2016. The National Waterway-1 from Allahabad to Haldia in the Ganga- Bhagirathi-Hooghly river system and National Waterway-2 from Sadiya to Dhubri in the Brahmaputra river are the two important waterways that are projected to play a vital role in improving the inland water transport connectivity of India with its eastern www.worldcommercereview.com neighbours.

  • Wild Edible Vegetables Consumed by Bodo Tribe of Kokrajhar District (Assam), North- East India
    Available online a t www.scholarsresearchlibrary.com Scholars Research Library Archives of Applied Science Research, 2013, 5 (5):182-190 (http://scholarsresearchlibrary.com/archive.html) ISSN 0975-508X CODEN (USA) AASRC9 Wild Edible Vegetables Consumed by Bodo Tribe of Kokrajhar District (Assam), North- East India Hwiyang Narzary 1, Sanjib Brahma 2 and Sanjay Basumatary 3* 1Department of Biotechnology, Bodoland University, Kokrajhar, Assam, India 2Department of Botany, Science College, Kokrajhar, Assam, India 3Department of Chemistry, Bineswar Brahma Engineering College, Kokrajhar, Assam, India ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT The present study deals with the identification, documentation and exploration of wild edible vegetables consumed by Bodo tribes of Kokrajhar District, Assam (North-East India). A total of 52 wild edible plants were surveyed. Plants are the nature’s gift to mankind and consumed wholly or in parts either cooked or raw. These are delicious, refreshing and chief sources of vitamins, minerals and protein. Vegetables constitute a major part of daily food intakes and play an important role in well-balanced diet and maintain healthy living. Utilization of wild plant resources in day-to-day life of Bodo tribes has been an old-age practice and recently popularity of the same has declined. Hence, prime importance should be given to them in order to maintain and popularize this important source of non-conventional food supply. In this paper, the scientific names along with family, local names in Bodo, time of availability, edible parts used and method of use of the wild edible plants are presented. Key words: Wild edible vegetables, Kokrajhar district, Bodo tribe, Assam. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION Plants are the nature’s gift to mankind and have been used as an important source of food and medicine from the very beginning of time.
