  • One Day GI Camp North Lakhimpur (Assam)
    Report on the One Day GI Camp in North Lakhimpur (Assam) on Effective use of Geographical Indications - MUGA Silk of ASSAM by Stakeholders March 17th, 2015 Conducted by Tezpur University Intellectual Property Rights (TUIPR) Cell & Intellectual Property Rights Cell, Dibrugarh University in Collaboration with North Lakhimpur College (Autonomous College) Lakhimpur, Assam and Technical Support of Geographical Indications Registry, Chennai April 15, 2015 TUIPR/Reports/38/2012/16 Muga Silk of Assam got a Geographical Indication (GI) registration in 2007 and in 2012, a Logo for GI- Muga Silk of Assam was also registered (Registered GI applications no 55 & 384). Assam Science, Technology and Environment Council (ASTEC) is the Registered Proprietor of the GI. Surprisingly from 2007 to 2014 there were only two “authorised users” of this GI. From 2014 to date, 19 applications to become authorised users of the GI - Muga Silk of Assam have been made to the GI Registry in Chennai, of which 14 applications have been published in the GI Journals (Journal Nos 59 & 62) and 5 applications are yet to be published. The Tezpur University Intellectual Property Rights (TUIPR) Cell initiated a project to identify the key reasons for such low usage of the GI - Muga Silk of Assam. Extensive field work was undertaken in some of the areas in which “Sericulture to Production of MUGA Products” is active to understand the dynamics of the MUGA Silk value chain. The key reasons identified by Shri Arshad Hussain, JRF in the TUIPR Cell were low awareness of the significance of GI, non-availability of reliable quality monitoring systems to differentiate “genuine MUGA Silk” from “adulterated MUGA” products, insignificant oganisational support across the entire value chain including nonexistence of enforcement mechanisms in the State of Assam against adulteration and mixed products in the market place.

FOREWORD I have much pleasure in introducing the Lohit Distri<^ Gazetteer, the first of a series of District Gazetteers proposed to be brought out by the Government of Arunachal Pradesh. A'Gazetteer is a repository of care­ fully collected and systematically collated information on a wide range of subjects pertaining to a particular area. These information are of con­ siderable importance and interest. Since independence, Arunachal Pra­ desh has been making steady progress in various spheres. This north-east frontier comer of the country has, during these years, witnessed tremen­ dous changes in social, economic, political and cultural spheres. These changes are reflected in die Gazetteers. 1 hope that as a reflex of these changes, the Lohit District Gazetteer would prove to be quite useful not only to the administrators but also to researdi schplars and all those who are keen to know in detail about one of the districts of Arunachal Pradesh. Raj Niwas K. A. A. Raja Itanagar-791 111 Lieutenant Governor, Arunachal Pradesh October 5, i m Vili I should like to take this opportunity of expressing my deep sense of gratitude to Shri K; A.

  • A Study on Nyishi Tribe of Arunachal Pradesh
    Volume: January-March, Year-2019 The Asian Thinker A Quarterly Bilingual Refereed Journal for Social Sciences and Humanities Folklore and the Changing Pattern in Communication: A Study On Nyishi Tribe of Arunachal Pradesh Deepika Research Scholar, PhD Department of Communication, University of Hyderabad Email: [email protected] Abstract: Folklore gives us a spectacular glimpse of a particular culture and traditions. Many of the community express their culture and tradition through art, music, festival, paintings, and many more. It is important to study the folklore to know about the unknown and unfamiliar things about the different culture and people. North-East India have a convergence of people, popularly described as a tribal, living in a different stages of under-development and in most cases without a written history of their own. The region provides vast folklore material which if studied systematically and scientifically may help building up history of different social groups residing there. The Nyishi (daflas) are the largest ethnic group of Arunachal Pradesh in North-eastern India. Nyishi are proud of their language and culture. This study aimed at finding the pattern of everyday communication among the Nyishi people. It is necessary to understand the governing elements of the community which is responsible for the growth and development of it. There are elements like economy, education, health, gender, politics which are necessary to be addressed. In a broader term the culture and tradition of the community need to be addressed and examine critically.The primary theoretical and methodological framework will be folkloristic, other related theories and methods will be drawn from communication, cultural anthropology, and media anthropology.

    Central Water Commission Central Flood Control Room, New Delhi Special Advisories for North Eastern States, West Bengal & Sikkim 18-07-2020 Due to shifting of Monsoon Trough to foot hills of Himalaya and availability of moisture for extreme precipitation, there is likelihood of Heavy to Very Heavy Rain at few places and isolated Extremely Heavy Rainfall over Arunachal Pradesh on 19th and 20th July, Assam & Meghalaya, Sub-Himalayan West Bengal & Sikkim from 19th to 22nd July. Arunachal Pradesh River Siang at Passighat in East Siang District has started rising again and started flowing in Above Normal Flood Situation and heavy rainfall has already started in its catchment. Due to forecasted rainfall during next 3 days there is likelihood of rapid rise in Water Levels in Rivers Siang, Lohit, Dibang, Subansiri, Kameng and Noa- Dehing in the districts of East and West Siang, Lohit, Anjaw, Changlang, Lower Dibang, Kameng and Subansiri Districts. There are chances of flash floods also in association with cloud burst in Hilly regions. Assam Brahmaputra River Brahmaputra is in Severe to Above Normal Flood Situation all along its course from Dibrugarh to Dhubri. Station wise situation based on 0800 hrs level of today is as under: Dibrugarh (Dibrugarh District): River is rising and is in Above Normal Flood Situation. Since extreme rainfall is likely to continue for 3-4 more day, there is likelihood of river crossing Danger Level by tomorrow and remain in Severe to Extreme flood situation during the next 2-3 days. Since there is high probability of extreme rain in catchment areas of River Siang, Lohit, Dibang, there is a 10-15% probability of River touching or crossing HFL at Dibrugarh.
