  • Formation of the Heterogeneous Society in Western Assam (Goal Para)
    CHAPTER- III Formation of the Heterogeneous Society in Western Assam (Goal para) Erstwhile Goalpara district of Western Assam has a unique socio-cultural heritage of its own, identified as Goalpariya Society and Culture. The society is a heterogenic in character, composed of diverse racial, ethnic, religious and cultural groups. The medieval society that had developed in Western Assam, particularly in Goalapra region was seriously influenced by the induction of new social elements during the British Rule. It caused the reshaping of the society to a fully heterogenic in character with distinctly emergence of new cultural heritage, inconsequence of the fusion of the diverse elements. Zamindars of Western Assam, as an important social group, played a very important role in the development of new society and cufture. In the course of their zamindary rule, they brought Bengali Hidus from West Bengal for employment in zamindary service, Muslim agricultural labourers from East Bengal for extension of agricultural field, and other Hindusthani people for the purpose of military and other services. Most of them were allowed to settle in their respective estates, resulting in the increase of the population in their estate as well as in Assam. Besides, most of the zamindars entered in the matrimonial relations with the land lords of Bengal. As a result, we find great influence of the Bengali language and culture on this region. In the subsequent year, Bengali cultivators, business community of Bengal and Punjab and workers and labourers from other parts of Indian subcontinent, migrated in large number to Assam and settled down in different places including town, Bazar and waste land and char areas.

  • District Hiv/Aids Epidemiological Profiles
    DISTRICT HID/AIDS EPIDEMIOLOGICAL PROFILES Developed using data triangulation Assam Factsheet 2014 Assam State AIDS Control Society Khanapara, Guwahati-22 Foreword The National AIDS Control Programme (NACP) is strongly evidence-based and evidence-driven. Based on evidence from ‘Triangulation of Data’ from multiple sources and giving due weightage to vulnerability, the organizational structure of NACP has been decentralized to identified districts for priority attention. The programme has been successful in creating a robust database on HIV/AIDS through the HIV Sentinel Surveillance system, monthly programme reporting data and various research studies. However, the district level focus of the programme demands consolidated information that helps better understand HIV/AIDS scenario in each district, to enable effective targeting of prevention and treatment interventions to the vulnerable population groups and geographic areas. This technical document prepared by the SIMU division of Assam SACS is a follow up exercise of the detailed District epidemiological profiles report 2013 prepared using the information collected and analyzed during the data triangulation exercise conducted during 2011-12. The 2013 report provided useful information support to the district level health functionaries but at the same time we were informed that a concise report will be even better. So, keeping this in mind, the 2014 report is being prepared in a factsheet format which is adapted from the District Epidemiological factsheets prepared by NACO and using updated information. The reports are prepared by some of the ICTC, PPTCT, Blood bank and STI counselors who are supported by a group of Public Health experts from medical colleges and state programme officials and we are grateful to each of them for their support in this activity.

  • Centre for Koch Rajbanshi Studies and Development H.No
    Centre for Koch Rajbanshi Studies and Development H.No. 17, By-lane 2, Lakhi Mandir Beltola, Guwahati – 781028 [email protected] www.kochrajbanshicentre.org Non Profit Organization Date: 24/10/2013 PRESS RELEASE The Koch-Rajbongshi community of Assam is an indigenous aboriginal tribe of North-East India, which has been demanding for inclusion of their community in the S.T lists of Assam since 1968. The Government of India had adopted (five) criteria viz., (i) Indication of Primitive Traits, (ii) Distinctive Culture, (iii) Geographical Isolation, (iv) Shyness of contact with community at large and (v) Backwardness, in order to determine the tribal status of a particular community. For the purpose of considering the demands of the Koch-Rajbongshi people of Assam for their inclusion in the S.T lists, the Tribal Research Institute, Govt. of Assam undertook a detailed field investigation in the light of the aforesaid criteria and on 09/08/1994 the Tribal Research Institute, Govt. of Assam submitted its report stating that “there are adequate justifications for the inclusion of the Koch-Rajbongshi community in the S.T lists of Assam” . Based on the said report the Registrar General of India had stated that, “in the light of the empirical data furnished by the Triabl Research Institute, Assam, this office has ‘no objection’ to the inclusion of the Koch-Rajbongshi community in the S.T list of Assam ”. Thereafter the Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order (Amendment) Bill, 1996 to provide for inclusion of the Koch-Rajbongshi’s in the S.T list of Assam was introduced in the Lok Sabha on 14/02/1996 and again on 12/07/1996 by Ministry of Welfare (now Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment).

  • PLP 2016-17 Dhubri District
    PLP 2016-17 Dhubri District EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The theme for the PLP 2015-16 is “Accelerating the pace of capital formation in agriculture and allied sector”. 1. Introduction to PLP for 2016-17 The criticality of capital formation ‘in’ and ‘for’ agriculture need not be overemphasized. However, the recent declining trend in investment credit vis-à-vis crop loan has serious implications for sustaining capital formation. The theme selected for the PLP 2016-17 is “Accelerating the pace of capital formation in agriculture and allied sector”. The PLP maps the potential in priority sector which could be exploited with institutional credit within a specified time frame. PLP is intended to provide a meaningful direction to the flow of credit to different sectors at the ground level taking into account all relevant factors. The various linkages and other support required to be provided by line departments to facilitate credit flow as planned are also listed in the PLP. NABARD in the year 2012-13 had prepared Base PLP for five years, coterminous with the XII Five year plan-(2012-17). The Base PLP projected a five year credit potential under priority sector covering Primary, Secondary and Tertiary sectors, with an emphasis on the Primary sector. These projections were based on parameters such as technical feasibility, availability of infrastructure, availability of exploitable resources, cropping pattern, agriculture practices and other developmental indices such as access to markets, etc. Some of these parameters may have undergone a change in the district since the finalization of Base PLP on account of factors such as changes in Government’s priorities and policies, strengthening of rural infrastructure, market forces, cost escalation, etc., necessitating a re-look at the credit potential for the year 2016-17.

    RGICS RAJIV GANDHI INSTITUTE FOR CONTEMPORARY STUDIES JAWAHAR BHAWAN, DR. RAJENDRA PRASAD ROAD, NEW DELHI-110001 RGICS LEGISLATIVE BRIEF (January, 2017) The Constitution Amendment (Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe) Order (Amendment) Bill, 2016 Jeet Singh Social Cluster RGICS legislative brief The Constitution Amendment (Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe) Order (Amendment) Bill, 2016 2 PART: I Key Messages The Constitutional Amendment (Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe) Order (Amendment) Bill, 2016 proposes to include 23 different communities of Assam, Tripura, Tamil Nadu, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand in the list STs. Despite political consensus and approval of the National Commission for Scheduled Tribe and the previous government, the NDA government took more than two and half years to move this constitutional amendment Bill. Currently there are 210 proposals of different communities for inclusion in the list of STs pending with Central government for final approval. The Bill attempts to resolve only 12 out of 210 proposals seeking ST categorization. PART: II Introduction The introduction of ‘The Constitution Amendment (Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe) Order (Amendment) Bill, 2016’ in Lok Sabha in December 2016 by NDA government has brought good news for nearly 23 tribal communities. The Union Minister of Trabal Affairs Mr. Jual Oram while introduction of the Bill in the Lok Sabha said that the Bill has accepted some proposals of inclusion of few communities in the list of ST requested by five states governments- Assam, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Tamil Nadu and Tripura. The Bill reads, “the Bill seeks to include certain communities as well as addition of synonyms of communities in the existing lists of Scheduled Tribes.” For many of these communities, the demand of ST categorization is very old and they fought a long battle for their rightful due.
