REGIONAL TOURISM SATELLITE ACCOUNT–TRIPURA, 2009-10 STUDY TEAM Project Leader Poonam Munjal Senior Advisor Ramesh Kolli Core Research Team Rachna Sharma Amit Sharma Monisha Grover Praveen Kumar Shashi Singh i REGIONAL TOURISM SATELLITE ACCOUNT–TRIPURA, 2009-10 ii REGIONAL TOURISM SATELLITE ACCOUNT–TRIPURA, 2009-10 PREFACE Tourism is as important an economic activity at sub-national level as it is at national level. In a diverse country like India, it is worthwhile assessing the extent of tourism within each state through the compilation of State Tourism Satellite Account (TSA). The scope of State TSAs goes beyond that of a national TSA as it provides the direct and indirect contribution of tourism to the state GDP and employment using state-specific demand and supply-side data. NCAER, the National Council of Applied Economic Research, was commissioned by the Ministry of Tourism in the Government of India in 2013 to compile the Regional Tourism Satellite Accounts for all the states and UTs of India for the year 2009–10. NCAER had earlier successfully compiled both the first and second TSA for India. NCAER was requested to supplement the second national TSA for 2009-10 with state accounts in order to have a more complete understanding of the tourism sector. The present report is a part of 3-year integrated plan to prepare the regional Tourism Satellite Accounts for all the states and UTs of India. Across the globe, TSAs at the sub-national level are increasingly becoming necessary. According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), there are various reasons for encouraging countries to develop sub- national or regional TSAs. One of the main reasons is a worldwide trend towards a decentralization of political power and decentralized management of national resources in federal states, regions and municipalities. In order to allocate and monitor these resources effectively, more and better integrated regional and local information are required. Also, the unequal geographical distribution and characteristics of tourism activity within a national territory, from the standpoint of both demand and supply, lead to additional requirements for tourism statistics at various territorial levels. Besides, there is a great necessity for improving the allocation of resources in national and local economies, which can only be achieved by upgrading data and measuring economic impact. In the absence of standard international guidelines to prepare sub-national TSAs, NCAER has compiled the state TSAs along the same lines as national the TSA, despite several data limitations. These limitations have been overcome by using the most logical rates and ratios based on reasonable assumptions. I would like to thank the agencies that provided the underlying data for the TSA 2009-10, especially the National Sample Survey Office, the Indian Statistical Institute, and Central Statistical Office (CSO). NCAER is particularly grateful to iii REGIONAL TOURISM SATELLITE ACCOUNT–TRIPURA, 2009-10 several Ministry of Tourism officials, Shri R.K. Bhatnagar, Additional Director- General, Mr Shailesh Kumar, Deputy Director, Smt. Mini Prasanna Kumar, Joint Director and Shri S.K.

Abstract Ageing is a natural and universal phenomenon experienced by all sections of the society in all generation and countries. The magnitude of the problems of elderly persons is, however, not the same everywhere but varies from society to society. Human life undergoes a continuous process of transformation from childhood to old age. As a matter of fact, old age encounter human frailty and marginalization of the elderly and finally receded to social oblivion. As such, how well the state and civil society shoulder the responsibility of caring the elderly persons will depend on the appreciation of the pitfall of one life’s journey. This paper focuses on the position of the aged and changes taking place due to various forces among the Kuki community majority of whom has been residing in the hills. No area of life whether it be socio-cultural, polity, economy or religion of the tribal community has been unaffected and untouched by the wind of change. Against this backdrop, study of the elderly problems among the Kukis is attempted taking advantage of my personal knowledge and experience as I belong to the same community. Key words: family, elderly, marginalization, psychosis, militancy, etc. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date of Submission: 13-02-2021 Date of Acceptance: 27-02-2021 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I.

  • Seilen Haokip
    Journal of North East India Studies Vol. 9(1), Jan.-Jun. 2019, pp. 83-93. Centennial Year of Kuki Rising, 1917-2017: Reflecting the Past Hundred Years Seilen Haokip The year 2017 marks the centennial year of the Kuki Rising, 1917-1919. The spirit of the rising that took place during First World War, also evident in Second World War, when the Kuki people fought on the side of the Axis group, has persisted. Freedom and self-determination remain a strong aspiration of the Kukis. One hundred years on, the history of the Kukis, segmented into three parts are: a) pre-British, b) British period, and c) present-day, in post-independent India. a) The pre-British period An era of self-rule marked the pre-British period. A nation in its own right, governance of Kuki country was based on traditional Haosa kivaipo (Chieftainship). Similar to the Greek-City states, each village was ruled by a Chief. Chieftainship, a hereditary institution, was complete with an administrative structure. The essential features comprised a two-tiered bicameral system: a) Upa Innpi or Bulpite Vaipohna (Upper House) and: b) Haosa Inpi or Kho Haosa Vaipohna (Lower House). Semang and Pachong (council of ministers and auxiliary members) assisted the Chief in the day- to-day administration. Cha’ngloi (Assistant), Lhangsam (Town Crier), Thiempu (High Priest and Judge), Lawm Upa (Minister of Youth & Cultural Affairs), Thihpu (Village Blacksmith) comprisedother organs of the Government (For details read Lunkim 2013). b) The British period The British administered Kuki country through the traditional institution of Chieftainship. However, the rights of the Chiefs were substantially reduced and house tax was imposed.

  • Tribal Healing Practices Theoretical Perspective on Folk Practices of the Tribals
    Tribal Healing Practices Introduction: Folk healing practices had its origin since time unknown. It is believed that human evolution had its origin in the tribal society. People in the traditional period were unable to explain the cause of natural calamity as well as the diseases that inflicted them. Therefore, men in the tribal societies started to create numerous ways and practices that were believed to heal the sufferers. The healers gained a superior position in the society and claimed to possess the power by which men could be healed from his suffering. Therefore, it is very important to study the tribal healing practices as it is from these practices that many contemporary healing practices are inspired to heal the people across the world. Theoretical Perspective on folk practices of the Tribals: Different theorists in the anthropological as well as sociological dimension did studies based on the tribal practices. These practices included the various life patterns, medical system, healing mechanisms, food habits, dressing patterns and so on. Theorists such as Edward Tylor introduced the concept of animism. According to the concept of animism, the non-material elements also contain spiritual essence. It is an indigenous tribal practice. In his 1871 book Primitive Culture, in which he defined it as "the general doctrine of souls and other spiritual beings in general." According to Tylor, animism often includes "an idea of pervading life and will in nature i.e., a belief that natural objects other than humans have souls. Animism focused on all approaches to healing which are connected with the soul. It promotes that we are answerable for each and everything.

  • 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.

  • 35 Chapter 2 INTER-ETHNIC CONFLICTS in NORTH EAST
    Chapter 2 INTER-ETHNIC CONFLICTS IN NORTH EAST INDIA India as a whole has about 4,635 communities comprising 2,000 to 3,000 caste groups, about 60,000 of synonyms of titles and sub-groups and near about 40,000 endogenous divisions (Singh 1992: 14-15). These ethnic groups are formed on the basis of religion (Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christian, Jain, Buddhist, etc.), sect (Nirankari, Namdhari and Amritdhari Sikhs, Shia and Sunni Muslims, Vaishnavite, Lingayat and Shaivite Hindus, etc.), language (Assamese, Bengali, Manipuri, Hindu, etc.), race (Mongoloid, Caucasoid, Negrito, etc.), caste (scheduled tribes, scheduled castes, etc.), tribe (Naga, Mizo, Bodo, Mishing, Deori, Karbi, etc.) and others groups based on national minority, national origin, common historical experience, boundary, region, sub-culture, symbols, tradition, creed, rituals, dress, diet, or some combination of these factors which may form an ethnic group or identity (Hutnik 1991; Rastogi 1986, 1993). These identities based on religion, race, tribe, language etc characterizes the demographic pattern of Northeast India. Northeast India has 4,55,87,982 inhabitants as per the Census 2011. The communities of India listed by the „People of India‟ project in 1990 are 5,633 including 635 tribal groups, out of which as many as 213 tribal groups and surprisingly, 400 different dialects are found in Northeast India. Besides, many non- tribal groups are living particularly in plain areas and the ethnic groups are formed in terms of religion, caste, sects, language, etc. (Shivananda 2011:13-14). According to the Census 2011, 45587982 persons inhabit Northeast India, out of which as much as 31169272 people (68.37%) are living in Assam, constituting mostly the non-tribal population.
