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.

  • ARUNACHAL DAMS the Dam Debate

    ARUNACHAL DAMS the Dam Debate

    ARUNACHAL DAMS I on behalf of the "Dibang Indigenous Peoples Welfare Society(DIPWS) and the people of twin Dibang Valley district would like to share following few lines as follows:- The Dam Debate The Indian government has in recent years initiated several policies to facilitate investment and utilization of natural resources in Arunachal Pradesh, under which it plans to develop hydropower projects. These power projects have been proposed to meet the increasing demand for energy in the country. However, success of these policies will be determined by careful considerations of multi-faceted problems and the level of public participation. Large dams in Arunachal have the potential to severely alter the cultural and ecological landscape of the region. It will have huge social and environmental costs such as displacement, influx of migrants, and destruction of forests. These devastations weigh heavy on the local tribal people who use these land, water and forest resources as the basis of their livelihood. Recent years has seen protests growing over large dams in Arunachal Pradesh. Several tribal communities in the state are totally opposed to building of multiple mega projects in their homeland. They see dams as threat to their socio-cultural fabric, where forced development will uproot them from their land, home and livelihood. These projects were created as public policies to meet India’s growing demands for energy but have become source of conflict between the government and the people. Although government has forced reconciliation for some of the conflicts, controversy over several of the ongoing projects remains unresolved. Projecting Arunachal as power house of the country Decades of isolation has made Arunachal Pradesh one of the least developed states in the country with fragile infrastructure system and poor resource base.

Water Alternatives 14(2): 491-519 South Asian Dams at a Tipping Point? The Case of Tipaimukh Dam in Manipur, India Thounaojam Somokanta Department of Geography, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Israel; [email protected] Eran Feitelson Department of Geography, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Israel; [email protected] Amit Tubi Department of Geography, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Israel; [email protected] ABSTRACT: While dam building has declined in most developed economies, it has seen an increase in emerging economies, particularly in East and South Asia. Even there, however, such dams are facing mounting opposition. This raises the prospect that dam building is nearing a global tipping point. In this study, we examine the case of the Tipaimukh Dam in Manipur, one of the states in India's peripheral northeast. We ask how such a major project was stopped despite support from powerful national- and regional-level actors. To analyse this case, we build on the Advocacy Coalition Framework and the analytical concepts of growth coalitions and discourse coalitions. The joint application of these concepts enables us to link global advocacy coalitions with local pro- and anti-growth coalitions through the storylines they advance, thereby formulating multiscalar discourse coalitions. This allows us to follow the struggles between pro-dam and anti-dam coalitions, as well as trace the shifts in the composition and focus of coalitions over the 75 years since the Tipaimukh Dam was first proposed.

The butterflies showed a strong seasonality pattern in this forest with only one significant peak during the post monsoon (September-October) when 118 species were in flight inside the forest which slowly declined to 92 species in November-December. Another peak (102 species) was visible after winter from March to April. Species composition showed least similarity between pre-monsoon (March-May) and post-monsoon (October-November) seasons. The number of papilionid species were greater from July to December as compared from January to June.

    Arunachal Pradesh Is an Ecologically and Geologically Fragile, Seismically

    October 22, 2010 Shri Sushil Kumar Schinde, Honorable Union Power Minister of India, New Delhi. Subject: Seeking a moratorium on clearances for large dams in Northeast India; withdrawal of clearances granted to 2000 MW Lower Subansiri, 1750 MW Demwe Lower & 1500 MW Tipaimukh; future steps on hydropower projects and dams only after full, prior and informed consent of people in the region; protect the Brahmaputra river basin as a cultural and ecological endowment Dear Shri Schindeji, Greetings from the Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti, Assam! Please find attached a detailed memorandum on the issue of dams in Northeast India from us (with a focus on downstream aspects). We hope you will recognise the significance of these developments and pay urgent attention to the issues raised in the memorandum. In this covering letter, we highlight some of our overall concerns regarding dams in the Northeast, particularly Arunachal Pradesh. The Northeast of India is an ecologically and geologically fragile, seismically active and culturally sensitive region. There are plans to harness around 63,000 MW of hydropower through 168 large dams in the Brahmaputra and Barak river basins. The state of Arunachal Pradesh alone plans to develop 135 projects for a cumulative capacity of 57,000 MW. MoUs/MoAs have already been signed for over 120 projects until now by the state government. An important role is played by the Central Government which grants environmental and techno-economic clearances to projects. The environmental clearance process also assumes significant importance as it is currently the only clearance in which comprehensive social impact assessment and public consultation has to be done.
