CHAP-TER - 1 INTRODUCTION 1.01 The North Eastern Region comprises the five States of Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Tripura and Nagaland and the two Union Territories of Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram. Tl.e region accounts for 7.7% of the country's total land area and has a popula­ tion of 266 lakhs (1981 census) representing 3.8% of the country's total population. 70% of the area is hilly and 90% people lives in villages. The average population density is low i.e. 102 a g a in s t the all-India average of 221; the density is very low in the mountanous terrain though the plains o f Assam Si Tripura are thickly populated. The literacy rate in the region is above the all-India average of 3 6-«2(1981) except for Arunachal Pradesh (20.1) and Meghalaya (33.2). The region is economi­ cally more backv/ard than other regions in terms of key development indicators. 1.02 Under the North Eastern Council Act,1971, .the Council has been designed as an Advisory Body and to Qiscu.i:js in<d c tfci-o w hich some or a l l o f the constituent units or union and one or more of the represented in the Council have a common interest. In the context of North East rn Areas, this commonality of interest extends to critical spheres of planning for power generation, flood control, inter-state tx'ansport and communications as rightly stressed in the North Eastern Council Act to secure a balanced development of the North Eastern Area and accordingly the Council has been formulat­ ing regional plans in addition to 3tate/UTs Plans in regard to matters of common interest. Broadly the NEC Plan has.two components, viz. one implemented by the constituent units directly and the other by Central agencies and regional 'qorporations sponsored by the NEC. Apart from the nature of the schemes, locational, technical and adminis'tratii??B reasons determined the agency for implemeritation. Fox instance, due to difficult -:err'iin 3.n.d lack o f suitable field orcanisation, a nuniber of inter- S t a t e roads find roa<is ,._ f. ecv.ncrriic i ’^:;ortince have to be assigned to BRDB. oirnildrly autancn'ious soci­ eties were to be created for establishment of r^ERlST at I tana gar and Regional Medical. College at Impha 1 and Regional Corporations like NjI;EPCO and NERAMAC were established for power generation/distribution and marketi.ng/px'oco.ss ing of agricait’are rjroduce. These Corporations/f^odi y.u'-'c^ive funds directly from the NEC Plan and work in r-ol l<^iboration with the' State/UT Governrnents . Under the i\fEC Plan, giv en the main,thrust has, therefore, bcen/to schemes of regiona;! imi )di: tau'^e vjhoSe benefits can be shared by all units. However, as a part of its effort to achieve balanced .deve 1 opu.ent, the Council has been also supporting several Gcheines of broad economic Impcrtance in States/OT'S particularly in backward and remote, regions and taking up schemes in introdu­ ction of new technology, new cornniercial crops and establishment of training institutions. The regional planning process adopted by the Council is based om periodic discussion and review with the constituent units and-central implementing agencies and field visits by its experts. This had enabj-,ed the Council to identify major constraints both short-term and long-term on development of the region. The Council has a catalytic role and is to take a regional view of development needs and to support the 3tate/UT Plans Due to the efforts made over the last one decade, it has been possible for the Council to a certain extent, to remove the basic infrastructura 1 deficiency in the region. Nevertheless, there are :--till rnanv areas of deficiency and the work of -che Council is there­ fore to be taken up on a firmer and more sustained basis in the field of upgradation of infrastructure, exploitation of . the vast resource.r of the region -*(3)- raising thereby the productivity and incomes of its population and prop^^r dovv^lopinent of human resources by spread of education and appropriate technology. 1.03 The NEC commenced functioning practically sine; the last year of tae Fourth Five \ear Plan. The schemes of the NEC Plan aim at development of infrastructure facilities in the region like power, transport, manpower while some schemes of experimental nature having a demonstration effect have also been included.

  • Wildlife of the Brahmaputra
    WILDLIFE OF THE BRAHMAPUTRA Kashmira Kakati “The native town of Gowahatty is built entirely of bamboos, reeds, and grass. To the south an extensive marsh almost surround the whole station, and the contiguity of many old tanks, choked with jungle, coupled with the vicinity of the hills on every quarter except the north, renders this town, in spite of the improvements already alluded to, one of the most insalubrious in Assam’. “I arrived at the mouth of the little stream Dikhoo, and mounting an elephant, rode through a dense tree and grass jungle to Seebsaugur, distant twelve miles from the Burrampooter”. “In the Chawlkhowa river, opposite Burpetah, I have seen basking in the sun on the sand banks, as many as ten crocodiles at a time; and upon one occasion, a heap of a hundred crocodiles’s eggs, each about the size of a turkey’s egg, were discovered on a sand bank, and brought to me”. - From ‘A Sketch of Assam’, John Butler, 1847 Photo on previous age: A makhna at Poba Reserve Forest, the last rainforest remnant flush on the Brahmaputra. 2 CONTENTS Acknowledgment ...4 Summary...7 Introduction...8 Objectives & Methods...10 Site/Species Accounts...17 1.
