Bongaigaon district has been selected in “Multi Sectoral Development Plan for the economic & educational upliftment of Minority Concentrated Districts” and was classified in ‘A’ category. Under ‘A’ category the district was found to be below national average in socio- economic & infrastructural parameters. As per the guidelines the emphasis has been given to poverty alleviation, generation of employment, literacy & infrastructure. 2. The plan size is as per the outlay of Rs. 56.10 crore prescribed for the district 3. The scheme predominantly focuses on rural areas. 4. Socio-economic and infrastructural development of the district has been considered for improving the quality of life of the people and reducing the imbalances during the 11th five-year plan. While this has been the principal objective, it has been kept in mind that at the time of making interventions under the MSDP, the minority concentrated areas are given preference. Although no location specific details in few sectors have been indicated in the plan, at the time of implementation of the schemes, minority dominated areas will be chosen for the implementation of the scheme. In sectors where achieving 100% saturation will not be possible during this plan period, it is proposed to address intervention only in the areas with substantial minority population under MSDP. 5. The baseline survey by Omeo Kumar Das Institute of Social Changes, Guwahati, Assam has identified priority areas for the multi-sectoral development for the district. The findings of the survey formed critical input for the formulation of MSDP. 3 Ranking of deficits in order of priority as per baseline survey SI.No. Indicators Survey India Gap Priority Results (NSS between All 2004-05) India and District 1 2 3 = 1-2 4 I Socio-economic indicators 1.

Electricity in houses (Priority rank-1): The district lags far behind the national average in terms of the number of people having domestic power supply. As per B/L survey only 13.44% household have electricity. Various rural electricity programs have been implemented. The district has recently been selected under Rajib Gandhi Gramin Vidyutikoran Yojana under which all the non-electrified villages will be electrified. No additional funds are needed hence no allocation is proposed under MSDP. 2. Houses with Pucca Walls (Priority rank-2): The district lags far behind the national average in terms of the number of people having houses with Pucca walls by 53.07%. As per the requirement of houseless people under BPL who are to be provided with houses under IAY, at the present rate of fund allocation by the Rural Development Department, all the houseless people can not be provided with Pucca Houses under IAY before the completion of the 11th Five Year Plan. Thus there will be substantial gap. Accordingly top priority has been accorded for fund allocation for housing by topping up the centrally sponsored scheme of Indira Awas Yojana (IAY). The present source of fund allocation under this sector as shows that under the existing fund sources only 3456 households out of the eligible BPL waitlist of 28851 will get IAY houses by the year 2011-12. Thus remaining 21578 IAY permanent wait list beneficiaries will not be covered by the end of 11th Five Year Plan. Out of the 7 gap, 7570 households are proposed to be benefited from identified villages having substantial minority population. Provision has been made at the unit cost of Rs. 0.385 Lakh as approved by GOI under IAY. Details are given in : (Annexure-I) 3. Female Work participation rate (Priority rank 3 & 5): The district lags behind the national average by 4.12% as per BL survey.
