Assam University (Accredited by NAAC with B+ Grade with a CGPA of 2.85) ï SIXTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT 2008-2009 Compiled & Edited by Dr. Niranjan Roy Director Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) Silchar - 788 011 1 ASSAM UNIVERSITY Vice Chancellor (A Central University) Accredited by NAAC with B+ Grade with a CGPA of 2.85 Professor Tapodhir Bhattaharjee Silchar - 788 011, Assam, India MA (Triple), Ph.D From the desk of the Vice Chancellor ... I am delighted to present to the readers the Annual Report of the University for the financial year : 2008-09 which has been compiled and edited by the Director, IQAC and his associates with great care and competence. The vibrance of the University at the threshold of a more mature stage of existence has been duly reflected in the report. It bespeaks of the initiation of great spree of manifold activities in the University in last one year. Our University has undoubtedly entered into a new phase of continuous upliftment of human resources, not only in the arena of science and technology, but also in the realm of humanities, Social Sciences and Language Studies. The University is faithfully following the national policy of inclusive growth and consequently the number of students intake has considerably increased in this year and there are reasons to believe that it will be further augmented in the immediately following academic year. The brief period of lay off and inertia is decisively over now. We are deducing our strength and energy from the policy of participatory management. Our goal is multipolar integration of regional and national aspirations with the global human existence. All our strategies evolve around the cardinal principle of continuous regeneration of human values through relentless pursuit of excellence. Yes, we are incorrigible dreamers and optimists who believe that there is always the possibility of a new beginning if we are committed to selflessness, collectivism and transparency. The old order is passing out gradually yielding space to new rays of hope and enthusiasm. Let our university be true to its professed motto i,e towards confidence, conviction and creativity.

    Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics &A

    Online Appendix for Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue (2014) Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics & Change Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue The following document lists the languages of the world and their as- signment to the macro-areas described in the main body of the paper as well as the WALS macro-area for languages featured in the WALS 2005 edi- tion. 7160 languages are included, which represent all languages for which we had coordinates available1. Every language is given with its ISO-639-3 code (if it has one) for proper identification. The mapping between WALS languages and ISO-codes was done by using the mapping downloadable from the 2011 online WALS edition2 (because a number of errors in the mapping were corrected for the 2011 edition). 38 WALS languages are not given an ISO-code in the 2011 mapping, 36 of these have been assigned their appropri- ate iso-code based on the sources the WALS lists for the respective language. This was not possible for Tasmanian (WALS-code: tsm) because the WALS mixes data from very different Tasmanian languages and for Kualan (WALS- code: kua) because no source is given. 17 WALS-languages were assigned ISO-codes which have subsequently been retired { these have been assigned their appropriate updated ISO-code. In many cases, a WALS-language is mapped to several ISO-codes. As this has no bearing for the assignment to macro-areas, multiple mappings have been retained. 1There are another couple of hundred languages which are attested but for which our database currently lacks coordinates.

It is observed that about half of the total income of the state of Assam comes from the agricultural sector. Fig 2.1: Pictures showing agricultural practices in Assam MAIN FEATURES OF AGRICULTURE Assam has a mere 2.4 % of the land area of India, yet supports more than 2.6 % of the population of India. The physical features including soil, rainfall and temperature in Assam in general are suitable for cultivation of paddy crops which occupies 65 % of the total cropped area. The other crops are wheat, pulses and oil seeds. Major cash crops are tea, jute, sugarcane, mesta and horticulture crops. Some of the crops like rice, wheat, oil seeds, tea , fruits etc provide raw material for some local industries such as rice milling, flour milling, oil pressing, tea manufacturing, jute industry and fruit preservation and canning industries.. Thus agriculture provides livelihood to a large population of Assam. AGRICULTURE AND LAND USE For the purpose of land utilization, the areas of Assam are divided under ten headings namely forest, land put to non-agricultural uses, barren and uncultivable land, permanent pastures and other grazing land, cultivable waste land, current fallow, other than current fallow net sown area and area sown more than once. 72 Fig 2.2: Major crops and their distribution The state is delineated into six broad agro-climatic regions namely upper north bank Brahmaputra valley, upper south bank Brahmaputra valley, Central Assam valley, Lower Assam valley, Barak plain and the hilly region.
