To Download Champhai District Plan COMPHREHENSIVE DISTRICT AGRICULTURE PLAN (C-DAP) DISTRICT CHAMPHAI MIZORAM 1 COMPREHENSIVE DISTRICT AGRICULTURE PLAN (C-DAP) FOR RASHTRIYA KRISHI VIKAS YOJANA OF XIth FIVE YEAR PLAN Prepared by District Agriculture Officer Champhai District 2 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.

At the time of independence, the country had a total population of 350 million and produced only 51 million tonnes of food grain. Today, population has crossed 1 billion marks and food grain production has increased to 230.67 million tonnes (2007-08). But the agricultural productivity world over has hit a plateau, whereas, Indian scenario is different. Apart from the flattening of yields over the past two decades, our average productivity also lies below the optimum level. The growth spurt ignited by the green revolution in the 1970 is now seeing diminishing returns to technology. Again the North Eastern state like Mizoram, the situation is completely different. Most of the people observe the state as organic “by default”. In the last 30 years the state has not been able to do any remarkable job in the field of agriculture, especially for attaining independency in food supply. At the same time the population of the state is growing very fast and the last decadal growth rate was 28.82 %. So, in this current global scenario policy makers have to rethink on the long term basis for the development of agriculture of the state. Another fact is that the crisis for food is going to increase in other parts of the country with the increasing population pressure. Therefore, we need to be independent in our food grain production. The economic reforms commenced in

  • 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.

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.

To motivate beneficiaries, farmers, etc and their level of confidence about the commitment of their Firm entrusted with lease programme.

ISSN: 0973-9467 © East Himalayan Society for Spermatophyte Taxonomy doi:10.26679/Pleione.11.2.2017.420-428 Documentation of non-timber forest products in Lengteng Wildlife Sanctuary of Mizoram (India) Grace Lalawmpuii Sailo and H. Lalramnghinglova1 Department of Environmental Science, Mizoram University, Tanhril, Aizawl 1Corresponding Author; e-mail: [email protected] [Received 24.10.2017; Revised 20.11.2017; Accepted 13.12.2017; Published 31.12.2017] Abstract Forests produce more than timber, wildlife and water. They are vast storehouses for non-timber forest products; the diversity of which complicates development of appropriate management policies and practices. These products have enormous social, economic and ecological values to the residents, communities and forests. Yet, they are neither adequately recognized as natural resources, nor managed as such. Present study was conducted during March 2013 – 2015 at Lengteng Wildlife Sanctuary and highlights 18 timber species, 17 species of fuel-woods, 38 edible plants, 57 wild fruits and 10 commonly used medicinal plants. Key words: Lengteng Wildlife Sanctuary, timber, fuelwood, fruits, fodder, edible plants. INTRODUCTION The contribution of Non-Timber Forest Products to improve livelihoods can best be assured through a process of gradual domestication of NTFP-plants in human-modified (agro) forest types. The way NTFPs contribute to peoples’ livelihoods can best be understood by taking livelihoods rather than NTFPs as the central focus of study. Various terms (e.g., non-traditional, secondary, minor, non - wood, and special or specialty) have been used to describe products that come from the forests that are not timber based.
