Date of Hearing: 30-01-2015 Date of Judgment: 12-03-2015 JUDGMENT & ORDER (CAV) Both the two writ petitions projecting the common grievances of the two sets of the petitioners were heard together, and are now being disposed of by this judgment. The facts and circumstances prompting them to file the writ petitions may be briefly noticed separately as under:─ WP(C) Nos. 6827 and 6315/14 Page 10 of 20 2. The material facts of the case in WP(C) No. 6827/14 are that the Director of Elementary Education, Assam (respondent 3) issued the advertisement dated 31-10-2014 inviting online applications in the prescribed format from all eligible TET (Teacher Eligibility Test) qualified candidates for district-wise filling up of 8193 vacant posts of Assistant Teacher in selected Government/Provincialized Lower Primary Schools under the Directorate of elementary Education, Assam. Out of these vacant posts, 2842 posts are earmarked for Dhubri District and out of these 2842 vacant posts, 745 posts are reserved for South Salmara Mankachar Sub-Division. It was stipulated in the advertisement that preference is to be given to those who have 2 years Diploma in Elementary Education and 2 years Diploma in Elementary Education (Special Education) from recognized institutes. It is the case of the petitioners that except for South Salmara Mankachar Sub-Division, 2 years course of Diploma in Elementary Education was started for contractual appointees for the remaining Sub-Divisions and Districts in the year 2012 thereby enabling this group of candidates to become qualified for the posts of Assistant Teacher by the time the recruitment process commenced. But in the case of the petitioners, with the course for Diploma in Elementary Education starting only in 2013 and they will be completing the course only by the end of 2015, no candidate from the said entire sub-division is able to fulfil this preferred qualification for the ongoing recruitment process. 3. In WP(C) No. 6315/14, the petitioners are also TET qualified teachers of 2012 and have been engaged as Assistant Teachers under the SSA on contractual basis. They belong to Karimganj District. Like the petitioners in WP(C) No.

Website: www.thecho.in Political Phenomena in Barak-Surma Valley during Medieval Period Dr. Sahabuddin Ahmed Associate Professor, Dept. of History, Karimganj College, Karimganj, Assam Email: [email protected] Abstract After the fall of Srihattarajya in 12 th century CE, marked the beginning of the medieval history of Barak-Surma Valley. The political phenomena changed the entire infrastructure of the region. But the socio-cultural changes which occurred are not the result of the political phenomena, some extra forces might be alive that brought the region to undergo changes. By the advent of the Sufi saint Hazrat Shah Jalal, a qualitative change was brought in the region. This historical event caused the extension of the grip of Bengal Sultanate over the region. Owing to political phenomena, the upper valley and lower valley may differ during the period but the socio- economic and cultural history bear testimony to the fact that both the regions were inhabited by the same people with a common heritage. And thus when the British annexed the valley in two phases, the region found no difficulty in adjusting with the new situation. Keywords: Homogeneity, aryanisation, autonomy. The geographical area that forms the Barak- what Nihar Ranjan Roy prefers in his Surma valley, extends over a region now Bangalir Itihas (3rd edition, Vol.-I, 1980, divided between India and Bangladesh. The Calcutta). Indian portion of the region is now In addition to geographical location popularly known as Barak Valley, covering this appellation bears a historical the geographical area of the modern districts significance.

    F.No.3/3/2009-PP-I GOVERNMENT OF INDIA MINISTRY OF MINORITY AFFAIRS MINUTES OF THE 14th MEETING OF THE EMPOWERED COMMITTEE TO CONSIDER AND APPROVE THE MULTI-SECTORAL DEVELOPMENT PLANS FOR MINORITY CONCENTRATION DISTRICTS HELD AT 10.30 A.M. ON 8TH JUNE, 2009 UNDER THE CHAIRMANSHIP OF SECRETARY, MINISTRY OF MINORITY AFFAIRS A list of members and officials present in the meeting is annexed. 2. The Chairman of the Empowered Committee explained the background for identification of minority concentration districts (MCDs) and the scheme of a multi-sectoral development programme (MsDP) designed to address the development deficits of such districts. The Chairman pointed out that the baseline survey not only brought out the updated position in respect of the relevant parameters used for identification of such districts, but also ranked the deficits in order of the extent of deprivation in the districts. It was expected that the plans submitted by the State Governments would address the deficits in order of priority. In case a deficit, ranked higher in the order of deprivation, was not proposed to be addressed by the plan, it would be incumbent on the part of the District Level Committee and the State Level Committee to bring out the reasons for not doing so. The Chairman stressed that the primary objective of this programme was to address the identified development deficits, so that the various interventions would result in the improvement of the backwardness parameters of a minority concentration district and bring it at par with the national average. 3. The Chairman stated that the fact that these districts were not just MCDs, having a substantial minority population, but were also districts comprising of other communities who suffer from the same backwardness and deprivation should not be lost sight of.

For more information: www.ifrc.org In Brief This document is being issued for information only. The Federation is not seeking any funding or other assistance from donors for this operation at this time. The Situation Assam, the northeastern state of India, experienced the first phase of flash floods due to heavy rains from 13 June, with downpours in the catchments of Bhutan and Arunachal Pradesh leading to flooding of most low lying areas in the districts of Hailakandi, Dhemaji, Karimganj, Barpeta, Nalbari, Darrang, Dhubri and Kamrup. Most of the villages under these districts have been affected due to several breaches in the local dykes and many houses have been washed away, thereby rendering up to 400,000 people homeless. A Central Water Commission bulletin quoted “the Brahmaputra River was showing a rising trend all along its course, with at least eight of its major tributaries flowing above the danger level at various places. The Brahmaputra and its tributaries would continue to rise in the next 48 hours”. The flood situation in the various parts of the state remained serious as torrential rains resulted in rising water levels of rivers. Situation reports received from the following Red Cross district branches indicate: Dhemaji: On 12 June floodwaters of the Jidhal River breached the north frontier railway line in two places near Chamarajan, Kekurigaon villages.

    Field Diary Karimganj: a Strategic Location for India-Bangladesh Trade

    Field Diary Karimganj: A Strategic Location for India-Bangladesh Trade Deepmala Ghosh Research Associate, CUTS International About the Field Visit Under the project titled „Enabling a Political Economy Discourse for Multimodal Connectivity in the BBIN Sub-region (M-Connect)‟, a team of CUTS International comprising Deepmala Ghosh and Jithin Sabu from Jaipur visited Karimganj, in January 2021. The purpose was to assess and investigate cross-border trade infrastructure and trade logistics between India and Bangladesh through Karimganj. Another purpose was to conduct stakeholder consultations to explore ways and means to promote multimodal connectivity in the BBIN sub-region. Locations Visited 1 Silchar Airport The team landed at Silchar airport, which is approximately 80kms away from Karimganj. To reach Karimganj, the team travelled by road, which was extremely tiresome. Few stretches along the National Highway (NH37) had potholes and few road stretches were under construction. The area has loose soil that makes it dusty and causes difficulty in breathing. Silchar and Karimganj are relatively warmer. Though the road connecting Silchar and Karimganj is a national highway, the maintenance of the road is abysmal. The team encountered a lot of traffic on their way. There is a flyover under construction, known as the Srikona flyover, to reduce road congestion. Silchar has a railway connection with Agartala and Guwahati. Trains to and from Guwahati are not yet functional, but goods and passenger trains are running between Silchar and Agartala. Location’s Significance in the Context of Barak Valley The team reached Karimganj, which is an integral part of the Barak valley. The Barak River enters the district through the north-eastern side near the Badarpur ghat to Haritikar near Bhanga.
