    Chapter-Iii Cco Based Audit

    CHAPTER-III CCO BASED AUDIT 3. Water Resources Department Although flood is a natural calamity caused under extraneous circumstances, in Assam it is almost an annual affair. The Water Resources Department is associated with flood control activities in Assam and is responsible for implementation of various State and Centrally Sponsored programmes. The National Policy for flood envisaged control of flood through three distinct activities viz. immediate and short term for flood control of urgent nature, medium term and long term measures to control it permanently. During the review period (2006-11), the Department had not taken any long term measures to find a permanent solution to the recurring flood problem and had adopted only immediate and short term measures under which only strengthening and repairing work of embankments were undertaken. There were deficiencies in planning and budgeting. Flow of funds and control over programme implementation was either inadequate or insufficient. Intended benefits of the programmes contemplated through execution of immediate and short term measures were also not forthcoming. Some of the significant audit findings are as under: Highlights The Department prepared annual plans based on plan allocation received from the Planning and Development Department instead of a long term perspective plan. There was huge gap between budget allocation and actual release of fund. (Paragraphs 3.7 and 3.8.3) The Department spent 13 to 61 per cent of the total annual expenditure at the fag end of financial year during 2006-11. (Paragraph 3.8.5) Twelve schemes executed at a cost of `45.22 crore were either washed away or became ineffective due to inefficient project management.

    Empire's Garden: Assam and the Making of India

    A book in the series Radical Perspectives a radical history review book series Series editors: Daniel J. Walkowitz, New York University Barbara Weinstein, New York University History, as radical historians have long observed, cannot be severed from authorial subjectivity, indeed from politics. Political concerns animate the questions we ask, the subjects on which we write. For over thirty years the Radical History Review has led in nurturing and advancing politically engaged historical research. Radical Perspec- tives seeks to further the journal’s mission: any author wishing to be in the series makes a self-conscious decision to associate her or his work with a radical perspective. To be sure, many of us are currently struggling with the issue of what it means to be a radical historian in the early twenty-first century, and this series is intended to provide some signposts for what we would judge to be radical history. It will o√er innovative ways of telling stories from multiple perspectives; comparative, transnational, and global histories that transcend con- ventional boundaries of region and nation; works that elaborate on the implications of the postcolonial move to ‘‘provincialize Eu- rope’’; studies of the public in and of the past, including those that consider the commodification of the past; histories that explore the intersection of identities such as gender, race, class and sexuality with an eye to their political implications and complications. Above all, this book series seeks to create an important intellectual space and discursive community to explore the very issue of what con- stitutes radical history. Within this context, some of the books pub- lished in the series may privilege alternative and oppositional politi- cal cultures, but all will be concerned with the way power is con- stituted, contested, used, and abused.

Charan Singh University, Meerut - 250004, India) Abstract: Aquaculture is the fastest growing food producing sector in the world. The inland fishery resources of India have a rich production potential. North Eastern Region of the country is located between 21.570N – 29.300N latitude and 89.460E – 97.300E longitude. The fishery resources of the region fall within all three types of climate i.e. tropical, sub-tropical and temperate and represent a strong biodiversity. Two principal rivers Brahmaputra, Barak and their numerous tributaries harbor varieties of fish species. The threat of diseases has now become a risk to the growth of the aquaculture sector which significantly affects both economic and socio economic development. A list of 197 species and 25 families of fish is given in the paper with the diseases reported in them. Key words: Diseases, Inland fishery, North East region, Threat. I.

    Postcolonising Danish Foreign Policy Activism in the Global South: Cases of Ghana, India and the Us Virgin

    Nikita Pliusnin POSTCOLONISING DANISH FOREIGN POLICY ACTIVISM IN THE GLOBAL SOUTH: CASES OF GHANA, INDIA AND THE US VIRGIN ISLANDS Faculty of Management and Business Master‟s Thesis April 2021 ABSTRACT Nikita Pliusnin: Postcolonising Danish Foreign Policy Activism in the Global South: Cases of Ghana, India and the US Virgin Islands Master‟s Thesis Tampere University Master‟s Programme in Leadership for Change, European and Global Politics, CBIR April 2021 There is a growing corpus of academic literature, which is aimed to analyse Danish activism as a new trend of the kingdom‟s foreign policy. Different approaches, both positivist and post-positivist ones, study specific features of activism, as well the reasons of why this kind of foreign policy has emerged in post- Cold War Denmark. Nevertheless, little has been said on the role of Danish colonial past in the formation of strategies and political courses towards other states and regions. The heterogeneous character of Danish colonialism has also been overlooked by scholars: while Greenland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands are thoroughly examined in Danish postcolonial studies, so-called „tropical colonies‟ (the Danish West Indies, the Danish Gold Coast and Danish India) are almost „forgotten‟. The aim of the thesis is to investigate how the Danish colonial past (or rather the interpretations of the past by the Danish authorities) in the Global South influences modern Danish foreign policy in Ghana, India and US Virgin Islands (the USVI) (on the present-day territories of which Danish colonies were once situated). An authored theoretical and methodological framework of the research is a compilation of discourse theory by Laclau and Mouffe (1985) and several approaches within postcolonialism, including Orientalism by Said (1978) and hybridity theory by Bhabha (1994).

Goswami Department of Environmental Science, Gauhati University, Assam, India _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Healthy natural ecosystem is an indispensable prerequisite of a hale and hearty society. Although the socio- economic, cultural as well as the political well-being of a region is directly correlated to a healthy and sustainable ecosystem, the mankind has relentlessly been tampering with these valued assets of nature for their comfort. Moreover, out of all the existing ecosystems it is a fact that aquatic ecosystem is the most imperiled one. Thus, it is the need of the hour to take some stern and state-of-the-art actions towards upholding the aquatic ecosystems of our environment. Like many other rivers of the world, the Kolong River of Assam is also going through a staid phase of degeneration as a result of human intervention, for the last half century. The objective of the present study is to reveal the ailing condition of the Kolong River along Nagaon town and to assess the change in the trend of its water quality parameters for a time interval of twenty years (i.e. 1992 to 2013). The results revealed that river discharge has diminished with time except for the peak monsoonal period. Similarly, few water quality parameters viz.

    Assessment of Water Quality Index of the Kolong River of Nagaon District of Assam, India

    Bhaswati Dutta Journal of Engineering Research and Application www.ijera.com ISSN : 2248-9622, Vol. 8, Issue 6 (Part -IV) June 2018, pp 29-38 RESEARCH ARTICLE OPEN ACCESS Assessment of Water Quality Index of the Kolong River of Nagaon District of Assam, India Bhaswati Dutta1, Bibhash Sarma2 1M.E. Student, Civil Engineering Department, Assam Engineering College, Guwahati-781013, Assam, India 2Associate Professor, Civil Engineering Department, Assam Engineering College, Guwahati-781013, Assam, India Corresponding auther: Bhaswati Dutta ABSTRACT - The objective of the study is to analyze the Water Quality Index (WQI) and analysis of variations of Water Quality Index parameters along the Kolong River,Nagaon, Assam, after the breaching of Hatimura dyke in 2017. WQI provides a single number that expresses overall water quality at a certain location and time based on several water quality parameters.The objective of a WQI is to turn complex water quality data into information that is understandable and useable by the public.Kolong River flows through the heart of the Nagaon urban area dividing the town into Nagaon and Haiborgaon in Assam.The blockage of the river flow was adopted as a flood control measure to protect its riparian areas, especially the Nagaon town, from flood hazard. So, Hatimura dyke was constructed across the river‟s take-off point near Hatimura in 1964. The river, once a blooming distributary of the mighty Brahmaputra, had high navigability and rich riparian biodiversity with agriculturally productive watershed. However, the present status of Kolong River is highly wretched as a consequence of the post-dam effects thus leaving it as stagnant pools of polluted waterwith negligible socio- economic and ecological value.

    Hardeen, Devi, the Brown Atlantic: Re-Thinking Post-Slavery

    Black Atlantic Resource Debate http://blackatlanticresource.wordpress.com/ Devi Hardeen PhD Candidate, French Cultures, Languages, and Area Studies The Brown Atlantic: Re-thinking Post-Slavery No longer is Atlantic history available in any color [sic], so long as it is white.1 The void left by the banning of the slave-trade [sic] was to some extent being filled by transports of ‘indentured’ labour, mainly from India and China, whose conditions were scarcely better.2 How is the reproduction of labour power ensured? It is ensured by giving labour power the material means with which to reproduce itself: by wages.3 Following a recent workshop, ‘The French Atlantic: A “Tricoloured” Ocean’, held at the International Slavery Museum (ISM), Liverpool, I was kindly invited to contribute to this ‘Black Atlantic Resource Debate’.4 One of the rationales of the inter-institutional project at the ISM was to develop greater recognition of Liverpool’s post-Slavery trading past. It is little known that four years after Emancipation, the first ships for South Asian Atlantic Indenture would embark from the city’s ports. The possibility of a site to reflect Liverpool’s continuing post-Slavery role was raised at the workshop. It was discussed that such a site would reflect the historical nexus between the metropole and the country of origin, India, in the legacies of Slavery. In Benjamin Disraeli’s ‘jewel in the crown’, a memorial plaque in Kolkata was inaugurated in January 2011 to commemorate Indenture. The site of museums as an interface between research, academia, and the public that can inform of the events and processes of Atlantic Slavery and its aftermath, led to positive discussions.
