Introduction and the Need for the Study Assam for ages together has been a riverine civilization, society and economy. Even today largely it continues so, albeit, recent changes in its social and economic structures. The foundation and Centre of this riverine society and economy has been and continues to be the mighty river of ‘Brahmaputra’. This river with a network of 33 tributaries has influenced and continues to influence the social and economic life of Assam and its people in a matrix of layered inter-relationships. A simple economy basically has three important components i.e., livelihood (production, consumption, exchange and employment), infrastructure and institutions. All these three important components and their temporal and spatial interactions make an economy live and continuous. If Brahmaputra was considered and is being considered to be the life line of Assam and more so in its economic dimension, it is because it has predominantly been influencing and shaping the livelihood, infrastructural and institutional arrangements of Assamese society. However, post 1950 earthquake, this river and its major tributaries have undergone severe physical changes such as increases in the height of the riverbeds. Population of Assam has undergone a steep increase because of natural increment in native population and illegal migration from neighboring country. This has caused the density of population to increase to 398 per sq. km. as per 2011 census. This increase in density of population, the phenomenal depletion of forest and vegetation cover on the river banks, the capturing of the wet land by the incremental and marginal population, the incremental pollution of the environment etc. have all brought in unexpected negative developments affecting the course, nature and intensity of flow, magnitude of erosion etc. of this mighty river and its tributaries. Further, this expansive river, flows through three countries of Chinese Tibet, India and Bangladesh. In its Tsangpo form in Tibet, it traverses a distance of 1625 km and constitutes the upstream of the river. Of late, the Chinese Government is believed to have started building huge dams controlling the flow of the river. Few big dams are in the process of coming up in the up streams of the river in the province of Arunachal Pradesh. All these developments have serious present and potential negative effects on the geography, society and economy of Assam in the form of increased river bank erosion, unnatural high floods leading to inundation of fresh areas, saltation of cultivated land, huge loss to human and animal lives, damage to physical infrastructure and loss of livelihood to millions etc. They do have extant and potential negative impacts on the livelihood, infrastructural and institutional arrangements in the Assamese society and therefore put a question mark on the ‘life-line’ status of the great river. It is against this background, our present study attempts to analyze the current situation of various influences of this river on the socioeconomic life of the people and communities in Assam. In a sense, it is an examination of the contemporary ‘life line’ status of this networked river for the people and communities of Assam. 1.1 Objectives of the Study The primary objective of this study is to understand the nature and dynamics of the impact of the river Brahmaputra on the socioeconomic life of the people of Assam. However, the specific objectives are outlined below: 1. To make a review of literature on the overall economy of Assam; 2. To examine the contribution of River Brahmaputra to the growth of the economy of Assam taking different sectors of her economy into account using available secondary data; 3. To analyse the impact of the River Brahmaputra on the economy of Assam on the basis of literature. The main areas on which these impacts to be examined are(a) agriculture and allied sectors, (b) tourism, (c) transportation of goods, (d) movement of people; 4. To study the impact of river Brahmaputra on socioeconomic life of the people living on its bank and surrounding areas through field surveys and case studies. 5. To examine socioeconomic status of the people living in char areas around river Brahmaputra. 1.2 Methodology and Data Sources The study has been undertaken by means of collecting both primary and secondary data. Secondary data have been collected from Government publications, Directoratesof Govt. of Assam and their websites such as Economic Survey 2014-15 of Government of Assam, Statistical Handbook Assam 2014, Department of Fishery, Govt. of Assam, Directorate of Inland Transport, Assam,Water Resources Department, Planning and Development Department, Govt. of Assam, North Eastern Electric Power Corporation Limited, and Central Pollution Control Board, Ministry of Environment and Forest, Govt. of India.Data have also been collected and analyzed in terms of literature survey based on the works of a number of authors who have been duly acknowledged in the reference section of this report.

V (Nov. 2014), PP 26-31 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Changing Cultural Practices among the Rural and UrbanMising Tribe of Assam, India 1Pahari Doley 1(Research Scholar, Gauhati University, India Abstract: The colorful life of the people, their traditional customs, festivals and dances are some of the components of the rich cultural diversity of India as well as its north-eastern region including Assam. Culture is not a static identity and keeps changing. The changing environmental development makes internal adaptation necessary for culture. Thus, a lot of changes have also been observed in the Mising culture too. The impact of urbanisation and modernization has brought a major eeconomic and socio-cultural transformation among the Mising tribe of Assam. Their society is changing not only in the aspects of socio-economic and political areas butalsointraditional beliefs andcultural practices. With the above background, an attempt has been made to understand the traditional and cultural practices among the Mising Tribe of Assam in particular and rural- urban context in general. Keywords: Mising Tribe, culture, cultural diversity, cultural Practices I. Statement Of The Problem The Misings, belonging to Tibeto-Burman ethnic group and formerly known as the Miris, which constitute the second largest scheduled tribe (Plains) group in Assam, have been playing a significant role in the culture and economy of the greater Assamese society in general and tribal society in particular. They with 5.9 lakh population (17.8 per cent of the state’s total tribal people) as per 2001 Census are mainly concentrated in the riverine areas of Dhemaji, Lakhimpur, Dibrugarh, Tinsukia, Sibsagar, Jorhat, Golaghat and Sonitpur districts of Assam.

  • Extended-Range Probabilistic Forecasts of Ganges and Brahmaputra Floods in Bangladesh
    EXTENDED-RANGE PROBABILISTIC FORECASTS OF GANGES AND BRAHMAPUTRA FLOODS IN BANGLADESH BY PETER J. WEBSTER , JUN JIAN , THOMAS M. HO P SON , CARLOS D. HOYOS , PAULA A. AGU D ELO , HAI -RU CHANG , JU D ITH A. CURRY , ROBERT L. GROSSMAN , TIMOTHY N. PALMER , AN D A. R. SUBBIAH A new ensemble flood prediction scheme, with skill to 10 to 15 days, allowed people along the Brahmaputra to evacuate well in advance of floods in 2007/08. any of the largest rivers on the planet emanate from the Tibetan Plateau and the Himalayas (Fig. 1a), fed by glacial and snow M melting and monsoon rainfall. Nearly 25% of the global popu- lation reside in the vast agrarian societies in the Yellow, Yangtze, Mekong, Irrawaddy, Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Indus river basins, each of which is subject to periods of widespread and long-lived flooding. Flooding remains the greatest cause of death and destruc- tion in the developing world, leading to catastrophic loss of life and property. While almost every government in Asia has made substantial progress over the past two decades in saving the lives of victims of slow-onset flood disasters, such events remain relentlessly impoverishing. In India alone, an average 6 million hectares (ha) of land (approximately equivalent to the size of Texas) is inundated each year, affecting 35–40 million people (Dhar and Nandargi 2000; CWC 2008). Because the flooding occurs in the fertile flood plains of major rivers, the loss in agricultural inputs (seed, fertilizer, and pesticides) alone costs in excess of 1 billion U.S. dollars (USD; hence- forth all costs will be given in USD) in an average flood or drought event.

  • Dynamics of Nepali Migration: Assimilation with the Assamese Society a Study of Sonitpur and Tinsukia Districts of Assam
    Himalayan Journal of Development and Democracy, Vol. 6, No. 1, 2011 Dynamics of Nepali Migration: Assimilation with the Assamese Society A Study of Sonitpur and Tinsukia Districts of Assam Monimala Devi 25 DDR College, India Abstract Migration is an ancient global flow contributing to economic development, and over the ages its form and impetus have changed significantly. Migration brings both qualitative and quantitative changes in the socio- economic and demographic characteristics of a region. Thus, it is now recognized as an important factor in determining plans for social, economic and political development, especially in developing countries. Migration studies have attracted much attention in the recent studies of the world as it has shaped human civilization all over the world. Although, migration has been reasoned for political, economic and various other conflicts, it is important to understand the dynamics of population change in the form of migration for resolving ethnic, religious and military conflicts across the globe. Assam had a long history of receiving migrants, however in the pre- colonial times the inflows were smaller and people assimilated more imperceptibly. The Nepali migrants who came during the colonial period assimilated into the host society and contributed to the social, economic and political development of the state. The Nepali migrants who came during the colonial period assimilated into the host society and contributed to the social, economic and political development of the state. The present study attempts to understand the Nepali migration from the historical perspective and at the same time comprehend the mechanism in the recent past in its transformative character particularly in the Sonitpur and Tinsukia districts of Assam.
