COMPREHENSIVE DISTRICT AGRICULTURE PLAN (C-DAP) DISTRICT LUNGLEI MIZORAM COMPREHENSIVE DISTRICT AGRICULTURE PLAN (C-DAP) FOR RASHTRIYA KRISHI VIKAS YOJANA OF XITH FIVE YEAR PLAN Prepared by District Agriculture Officer Lunglei District 1 FOREWORD The National Development Council has set the goal of 4 per cent growth in the 11th plan by reorienting strategies of Agricultural Development towards meeting the needs of farmers and appropriate use of natural resources. The state governments are motivated to concentrate on finding and evolving suitable strategies with innovative technologies and projects for rejuvenation of agriculture in the country. The need for integrated local area plans, based on specific endowments and needs of each area, was stressed from the beginning of planned development. However, despite several reports and studies, only sporadic efforts and isolated cases of such planning could be located. It has therefore been decided by the Govt. of India that the 'District Plan Process' should be an integral part of the process of preparation of State. GoI Introduced a new Additional Central Assistance scheme to incentivise States to draw up plans for their agriculture sector more comprehensively, taking agro-climatic conditions, natural resource issues and technology into account, and integrating livestock, poultry and fisheries more fully. I appreciate the Department of agriculture at the state level also at the district level for their effort and coordination for preparation of C-DAPs in an appropriate manner consulting with all line departments of the state. I also congratulate all implementing agencies of RKVY to work with commitment for achieving the common goals in general and to improve the agriculture economy of the state.

    Nandini Sundar

    Interning Insurgent Populations: the buried histories of Indian Democracy Nandini Sundar Darzo (Mizoram) was one of the richest villages I have ever seen in this part of the world. There were ample stores of paddy, fowl and pigs. The villagers appeared well-fed and well-clad and most of them had some money in cash. We arrived in the village about ten in the morning. My orders were to get the villagers to collect whatever moveable property they could, and to set their own village on fire at seven in the evening. I also had orders to burn all the paddy and other grain that could not be carried away by the villagers to the new centre so as to keep food out of reach of the insurgents…. I somehow couldn’t do it. I called the Village Council President and told him that in three hours his men could hide all the excess paddy and other food grains in the caves and return for it after a few days under army escort. They concealed everything most efficiently. Night fell, and I had to persuade the villagers to come out and set fire to their homes. Nobody came out. Then I had to order my soldiers to enter every house and force the people out. Every man, woman and child who could walk came out with as much of his or her belongings and food as they could. But they wouldn’t set fire to their homes. Ultimately, I lit a torch myself and set fire to one of the houses.

    Evaluation of Price Support and Market Intervention Scheme: a Brief Report on Mizoram

    Evaluation of Price Support and Market Intervention Scheme: A Brief Report on Mizoram 1.1 Introduction Mizoram is a small hilly state located in the north east corner of India. Geographically, it lies between the East longitudes 92º15' to 93º29' and the North Latitudes 21º58' to 24º35'. More than 60 % of the total work force of the state inhabit in more than 830 villages spread over the mountain landscape from low hills to high mountain areas. Mizoram, as a whole, receives an evenly-distributed average rainfall of about 3,000 mm with 2,380 mm in Aizawl town and 3,178 mm in Lunglei. The dominant features of hill and mountain farming in Mizoram are small land holdings, sloping marginal farmlands and cultivation under rainfed farming. Agriculture occupies a very important place in the economy of Mizoram. The age- old practice of Jhum cultivation is being followed by a large number of people living in rural areas. As per economic classification of workers (2001 census), about 60 per cent of the total workers are engaged in Agricultural and allied sector. Paddy is the principal food crop grown in the state, which happens to be the staple food of the Mizos. As against the estimated requirement of around 2, 00,000 MT per year, the rice production in the State is still very meager (75,563 MT, 2011-12). Agricultural production is closely linked up with adequate marketing support. The development of agricultural economy of the State therefore, cannot be thought of without an efficient agricultural marketing system. To protect the interest of the farmers, Market Intervention Scheme (MIS) for ginger and chilli was implemented long back.

Carrying capacity is a concept that has been extensively applied in tourism and leisure studies since the 1960s, but its appearance can be date back to the 1930s. It may be viewed as an important thought in the eventual emergence of sustainability discussion, it has become less important in recent years as sustainability and its associated concepts have come to dominate planning on the management of tourism and its impacts. But the study of carrying capacity analysis is still an important tool to know the potentiality and future impact in tourism sector. Thus, up to some extent carrying capacity analysis is important study for tourist destinations and states like Mizoram. Mizoram is a small and young state with few thousands of visitors that visit the state every year.

  • Cultural Factors of Christianizing the Erstwhile Lushai Hills (1890-1940)

    Cultural Factors of Christianizing the Erstwhile Lushai Hills (1890-1940)

    Mizoram University Journal of Humanities & Social Sciences (A Bi-Annual Refereed Journal) Vol IV Issue 2, December 2018 ISSN: 2395-7352 eISSN:2581-6780 Cultural Factors of Christianizing the erstwhile Lushai Hills (1890-1940) Zadingluaia Chinzah* Abstract Alexandrapore incident became a turning point in the history of the erstwhile Lushai Hills inhabited by simple hill people, living an egalitarian and communitarian life. The result of the encounter between two diverse and dissimilar cultures that were contrary to their form of living and thinking in every way imaginable resulted in the political annexation of the erstwhile Lushai Hills by the British colonial power,which was soon followed by the arrival of missionaries. In consolidating their hegemony and imperial designs, the missionaries were tools through which the hill tribes were to be pacified from raiding British territories. In the long run, this encounter resulted in the emergence and escalation of Christianity in such a massive scale that the hill tribes with their primal religious practices were converted into a westernised reli- gion. The paper problematizes claims for factors that led to the rise of Christianity by various Mizo Church historians, inclusive of the early generations and the emerging church historians. Most of these historians believed that waves of Revivalism was the major factor in Christianizing the erstwhile Lushai Hills though their perspectives or approach to their presumptions are different. Hence, the paper hypothesizes that cultural factors were integral to the rise and growth of Christianity in the erstwhile Lushai Hills during 1890-1940 as against the claims made before. Keywords : ‘Cultural Factors of Conversion,’ Tlawmngaihna, Thangchhuah, Pialral, Revivals.

  • Post-Insurgency Rural Development Strategies in Mizoram: a Critical Analysis

    Post-Insurgency Rural Development Strategies in Mizoram: a Critical Analysis

    Post-insurgency Rural Development Strategies in Mizoram: A Critical Analysis –Harendra Sinha1 ABSTR A CT ­ Rural Development in Mizoram was severely slowed down and affected due to two decades of insurgency (1966-86) and grouping of villages as counter insurgency strategy. The grouping of villages has its permanent repercussions where post-grouping reconstruction measures were not initiated so as to suit the people and the area of the villages that grouped. Although various rural development initiatives were introduced and implemented during post-insurgency period, its impact on rural economy is minimal. The result is that approximately all villages and the State is not economically self-sufficient. The State still depends on almost all essential commodities from outside the state. The present paper focuses mainly on the impact of village grouping as counterinsurgency strategy and the post-independence rural development programmes initiated and its impact on rural Mizoram. Key Words: Insurgency, Village grouping, Rural Development, Economic self-sufficiency. I. INTRODUCTION Mizoram (earlier known as Lushai Hills/Mizo Hills District) is situated on the North East of India located between 22. 19`N and 24. 19` N Latitude 92. 16` and 93. 26` East Longitude covering a geographical area of 21,087 sq. km. It is covered by international borders from three sides, Myanmar in the East and South (404), and Bangladesh in the West (306). Mizoram is highly mountainous and has rugged topography with high ranges trending north south direction. Barring few patches of flat land along the valleys and the area bordering the plains of Cachar and Bangladesh, the topography of Mizoram is composed of steep hills and deep gorges (Singh, 1995).
