Title of the Project : Sustainability Development through Empowerment. 3. Period of reporting : Annual Progress Report 1st April 2014 to 31st March 2015. 4. Project Code : IND- ASS- 39001- 03745 OVERALL GOAL OF THE PROJECT Advancement and economic prosperity of the people in the 10 villages of Balipara and Dhekiajuli Blocks of Sonitpur District of Assam. PROJECT OBJECTIVES FOR THE REPORTING PERIOD: 1. Increase food security among the target communities. 2. Increase in per-capita income of the families. 3. Improvement in standard of living. 4. Alternative sources of income created for the families. 5. Skills enhancement of rural women. I. WHILE EXECUTING THE PROJECT WE HAD THE FOLLOWING POSITIVE EXPERIENCES: We had the following positive experiences while implementing the project: First; we experienced a big support from the office of the Mission Procurator, Germany as you cooperated with us by timely disbursement of the money for the first year. It helped us to carry out the programmes smoothly. Second; the people had full cooperation with the Organization in completing the various activities. Some farmers gave their free labour and building materials like bamboos for the construction of their piggery farm. In order to carry out the work smoothly, the farmers provided breakfast and meals to the people who dug the pond and installed bore wells. It saved a lot of time and the work continued without much disruption. The people’s active participation in different training programmes was also seen as their cooperation. 2 Third; so many times the farmers came together for the programmes and meetings that helped them to strengthen their bond of unity. It also helped them to have better understanding among themselves. Fourth; the people who attended our training programmes have gained confidence in speaking, manner and work. Fifth; Some attitudinal change has taken place in the people as they are adopting the System of Rice Intensification(SRI), a modern method of cultivation. The women were stirred by seeing the new extension to the weaving center with new design machines. Fifteen women started the work of production in the center. Now they are weaving Adivasi towels (gamosa), ‘sari’ and other dress materials. Sixth; the demonstration Unit is inspiring the farmers to go for the poultry and SRI cultivation. After seeing and learning from the Farm Mr. Augustine Horo has recently started poultry farm for himself. Seventh; the beneficiaries are making good use of the infrastructure and facilities(bore wells, pond water pumping machines) provided to them. Eighth; The project has paved the way for networking with the Government departments, Financial Institutions, NABARD and Krishi Vigyan Kendra(Agriculture Research Centre). The farmers can access easily and without any hesitation to these department/Institutions. II. THE DIFFICULTIES WE FACED: First; our scheduled programme was affected due to the strike and road blocks. It was not just to organize programmes for the people when our target group was mourning on the attack on 23December 2014 on Adivasis by the Bodo militants. Second; some good villages are in remote areas and lacking road connectivity. There are Bodo Liberation Tigers (Bodo militants) in that area that hinders us from easy access and to work more freely. Third; this year there was excessive rain at the latter part of the monsoon as a result the land remained wet for long that affected the potato cultivation. On the other hand there was no rain at all from October 2014 to March2015 so the ground water level went down. The ponds and bore wells dried up and the irrigation was not possible. It was the big disappointment for the farmers because they could not cultivate the rabi crop (vegetables). In such a situation it was difficult for us to keep the farmers motivated. Fourth; we had the problem of finding resource persons for training programmes organized in the sub-centres/village. They were very reluctant to go to far away places. Sometimes we conducted programmes to such places for the greater participation of the beneficiaries. Fifth; there was a problem in selection of the beneficiaries for some activities such as shade for piggery, deepening of ponds and water pumping machines. However carefully we identified the beneficiaries, some people did not understand it and criticized us. It was may be because of jealousy. 3 III. ACHIEVEMENT OF THE RESULTS DESCRIBED IN THE APPLICATION: 1. Village Meetings: The village meetings were conducted in the ten villages in the month of April and May 2014. There were total 352 participants attended the meetings in different village. The village meetings helped the people to know their socio-economic situation at the deeper level which led them to form the Village Development Committees (VDCs) for proper supervision and administration.

Seminar on System of Rice Intensification (SRI): Two one day Seminars were organized on System of Rice Intensification (SRI) on 21st and 30th April 2014 at the head office of Gana Chetana Samaj. There were 50 and 45 participants simultaneously for the .seminar. The farmers learnt the new method of cultivation and willing to adopt it. Seminar on SRI 3.Supply of flood resistant seeds: In order to protect the crop from damage caused by excessive rain and water logging we, through Krishi Vigyan Kendra supplied flood resistant seed to twenty (20) farmers. The farmers were very happy because they got a good crop. 4. Bore wells Installed and water pumping machines were provided : Twenty bore wells were installed and ten water pumping machines were provided to the farmers in Missamari area of Dhekiajuli Block and Chapaguri area of Balipara Block. The purpose of bore wells and water pumping machines is to help the farmers to irrigate their field throughout the year as per the need. These facilities helped the farmers to go for the Rabi crop (crop after the paddy cultivation). But unfortunately last year due to the insufficient rain the ground water went down so many farmers except five could not take the advantage of facilities given to them. Five farmers of Missamari area benefited from bore wells who could irrigate ten bighas (bigha refers to unit of land measurement) of land. Bore well and water pump Fr. Klaus & Fr.

Deepening of the ponds: 16 nos. of ponds were successfully deepened in Baithabhanga, Chepaguri and Missamari areas. We deepened the ponds from two feet to four feet as it was required at the particular place. The purpose is the irrigation and fishery. With the given facilities the farmers will be able to use the water in case of need and get extra income from fishery. During the last season the farmers could not get much income because the ponds were new and needed some treatment. 6 Pond deepening 7. Purchase of Dubie Machines: To accelerate the production of the weaving section new looms were bought. And in order to improve the quality of the products like Adivasi towels, ‘sari’ and other dress materials ‘Dubie’ machines (design machines) were bought. With the help of these new machines the women are working with great interest and enthusiasm. 15 women are fully devoted to the production work. They are given raw materials (thread) for weaving and they submit the finished products to the centre and making charge is given to them. New Weaving Machines 8. Construction of Temporary Shade for Training Centre A temporary shade measuring 28 feet long and 10 feet wide was constructed for new looms. The shade has three rooms. There is one small room in the verandah for office purposes will be used by the Instructors. There was a contribution of the villagers in the construction as they supplied us with the old asbestos sheet. The new looms are installed in the new shade which are giving good service. 7 9. A Demonstration Unit: A Demonstration Unit consisting of poultry, piggery, duckery, fishery and system of rice intensification (SRI) was developed during the last year.

  • Issues and Prospects of the Women Handloom Weaver: a Smaller-Scale Level Investigation of Lakhimpur Locale in Assam
    JOURNAL OF CRITICAL REVIEWS ISSN- 2394-5125 VOL 7, ISSUE 04, 2020 ISSUES AND PROSPECTS OF THE WOMEN HANDLOOM WEAVER: A SMALLER-SCALE LEVEL INVESTIGATION OF LAKHIMPUR LOCALE IN ASSAM Budhindra Nath Gohain Dibrugarh University, Dibrugrah, Assam, India. Abstract: The paper investigates the issues and prospects of Handloom Weavers of the Lakhimpur region in Assam for the financial upliftment of the individuals. Ladies overwhelm the handloom weaving occupation in Assam yet men are likewise partaking in weaving like other spots of India and ladies are associated with pre-weaving exercises. The ladies' handloom weaver in Assam plays out various jobs to create handloom items. Ladies weaver of Assam laid their hard work in working physically. As a casual segment occupation, the ladies weaver jams culture and legacy to delivering customary materials in Assam. The Handloom area assumes a considerable job in India's economy. It is a small amount of culture and legacy of a customary society in India and the biggest limit of retaining pay sources after the agrarian field for country individuals. The Assamese indigenous network has a rich custom of weaving. An Assamese lady, regardless of being occupied with horde family exercises as the day progressed, is probably going to invest some energy in her loom each day. The ladies make articles of clothing, for the most part for regular use, on handlooms. They additionally weave tasteful items for unique events. Be that as it may, presently a day's Assamese ladies weave for the business reason as well. The customary toss transport loom is built under the conventional brace house.

Owing to the landmark developments that modern technology has achieved in recent decades, these technological revolutions have left their mark on almost everything, including language and literature.

  • Prelim Bits 11-04-2020
    UPSC Daily Current Affairs | Prelim Bits 11-04-2020 Gamosa The Gamosa is an article of significance for the people of Assam. It is generally a white rectangular piece of cloth with primarily a red border on three sides and red woven motifs on the fourth. Assam has traditionally had two types of gamosas 1. The Ukaor plain kind used to wipe sweat or dry the body after a bath, 2. The Phulam, which is decorated with floral motifs to be gifted as a memento or during festivals such as Bihu. Gamosa came to symbolize Assamese nationalism in 1916 when the Asom Chatra Sanmilan, a students’ organization was formed, followed by the Assam Sahitya Sabha, a literary body. Wearing the phulam gamosa around the neck became a standard for cultural identity. The Assamese way of life is woven in the gamosa, whether plain or decorative. From a cultural symbol, it became a political symbol before designers explored its potential as dress material such as distinctive shirts. The gamosa’s graph as a symbol of protest rose during the anti-foreigners Assam Agitation from 1979 to 1985. The extremist United Liberation Front of Asom too used the towel with “revolutionary” motifs. The gamosa staged a comeback as a political statement with the protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act from mid-December 2019. Recently the COVID-19 pandemic has made the ubiquitous gamosa, a decorative cotton towel, evolve from memento to mask. Bihu Festival Bihu is a set of three important Assamese festivals in the Indian state of Assam There are three types of Bihu namely 1.
