DRAFT ELEVENTH FIVE YEAR PLAN 2007-2012 AND ANNUAL PLAN 2007-2008

INTRODUCTION:

Mizoram is bounded on the north by the States of Assam and Manipur, on the east and south by Chin Hills of Myanmar and on the west by Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh and the State of Tripura. It covers an area of 21,087 Sq.Km.

The hill areas of Mizoram enjoy cool temperate climate. The average annual rainfall is 217.5 cm. The temperature varies between 12 and 18 degrees Celsius in winter and 18 and 29 degree Celsius in summer.

For administrative purposes, Mizoram is divided into 8(eight) districts namely, Aizawl District, Lunglei District, Kolasib District, Mamit District, Champhai District, Serchhip District, Saiha District and Lawngtlai District. Each District is headed by a Deputy Commissioner while each Sub-Division is under the administrative control of Sub-Divisional Officer. Since Chhimtuipui area (comprising Saiha and Lawngtlai Districts) is the most backward of all the districts, special attention has been given to it; some important subjects have been transferred to the three Autonomous District Councils within the districts since 1982-1983.

Brief Story of Five-Year Plans and Annual Plans – Mizoram

Prior to 1972, Mizoram was one of the districts of Assam. During that period, very small amount was spent for the development of Mizoram and the outlays for the first three Five Year Plans were as given below: –

1. First Five Year Plan (1952-56) - Rs. 63.02 lakh2. Second Five Year Plan (1956-61) - Rs. 210.83 lakh3. Third Five Year Plan (1961-66) - Rs. 411.42 lakh

During the first three years of the Fourth Five Year Plan (1962-72), the following were the Plan expenditure in Mizoram: –

1969 – 1970 - Rs. 101.61 lakhs1970 – 1971 - Rs. 176.42 lakhs1971 – 1972 - Rs. 205.18 lakhs.

Since Mizoram attained the status of U.T. in January, 1972, Planning Commission approved an outlay of Rs. 275.00 lakh for the Annual Plan 1972-73. This outlay was enhanced to Rs. 437.00 lakh in the later part of the year. Out of this provision, only Rs. 355.23 lakh was actually spent.

During 1973-74, Rs. 600.00 lakh was allocated for Mizoram out of which only Rs. 573.73 lakh was actually spent.

During the Fifth Five Year Plan (1974-79) Rs. 46.59 crore was allotted for Mizoram against the total Plan size of Rs. 39,300.24 crore for the country as a whole.

In the Sixth Five Year Plan, Rs. 128.47 crore was the outlay for Mizoram where as the total Plan size was Rs. 71,000.00 crore, but the said 6th Plan was not completed as there was a change of government at the centre.

Before the commencement of the new 6th Five Year Plan (1980-85) there were two rolling Annual Plans for 1978-79 and 1979-80. During these two years, the outlays for Mizoram annual Plans were Rs. 16.64 crore and Rs. 17.72 crore and the actual expenditures were Rs. 14.62 and Rs. 16.11 crore respectively.

During the 6th Five year Plan (1980-85), Rs. 130.00 crore was originally allotted for Mizoram. The actual expenditure during the Plan period amounted to Rs.150.09 crore.

The original outlay for the 7th Five Year Plan (1985-90) in respect of Mizoram was Rs. 260.00 crore. However, the actual release of Plan fund during the period by way of Annual Plans was Rs. 364.50 crore, out of which the actual expenditure was Rs. 363.56 crore.

Prior to the launching of Eight Five Year Plan in 1992-93 there were two Annual Plans for 1990-91 and 1991-92, for which the actual expenditure were Rs.125.35 crore and Rs. 152.28 crore respectively against the outlays of Rs. 125.00 crore and Rs. 152.00 crore.

The original approved outlay for the 8th Five Year Plan was Rs. 763.00 crore. However, the total approved outlays for the five annual plan during the period was Rs. 1064.60 crore against which the total expenditure was Rs. 1064.45 crore.

The original approved outlay for the 9th Five Year Plan (1997-2002) was Rs.1618.51 crore. However, the total approved outlays for the five successive Annual Plans during the period was Rs. 1794.26 crore and the total actual expenditure was Rs.1719.96 crore.

Thrust areas for 11 th Five Year Plan (2007 – 12) - Mizoram

viii

- ix -

The size of the draft 11th Five Year Plan (2007-2012) in respect of Mizoram has been fixed at Rs. 4500.00 crore which is 5.93 times the approved Annual Plan outlay of 2006-07 which is the last year of the 10th Five Year Plan. The proposed outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08 is Rs. 895.00 crore which is 18.07% increase over current year’s Annual Plan outlay of Rs. 758.00 crore. By taking the country’s average targeted GDP growth rate of 9% and 4% agricultural growth rate into consideration and the need to ensure better quality of life for all sections of the population, particularly those below the poverty line, the following sectors of development have been accorded high priority.

1) Agriculture & Allied Activities and Rural Development with particular emphasis on the various components of Bharat Nirman Programme. Efforts will be made to connect all villages and habitations with all-weather roads during the 11th Plan period. In order to attain self-sufficiency in food production, potential flat land development and minor irrigation schemes will be taken up most vigorously. The scheme of watershed development in shifting cultivation area will also be continued to receive due consideration. Construction of agriculture and horticulture link roads is another priority area whereby efforts will be made not only to connect the fields / gardens where crops are grown with good roads but also to provide employment to the farmers during the lean seasons. It is considered necessary to supplement the efforts under State Plan by providing more funds for the development of Agriculture and Rural Development sectors from CSS, NLCPR and NEC during the 11th Plan period in order to achieve the desired goals. A special scheme called Mizoram Intodelhna Project (MIP) will also be continued with a modified and a more meaningful way during the 11th

Plan period.

2) Development of economic infrastructure has also been accorded high priority. Implementation of the Mizoram State Roads Project under World Bank Assistance will be spilled over to the 11th Plan period. Mizoram will also be covered under North Eastern States Road Projects to be funded by Asian Development Bank. In the power sector, construction of Hydel Electric Projects (HEPs) like Tuirini HEP (2×19MW), Tuivai HEP (3×70MW), Bairabi Dam Project (2×40MW), etc. have been proposed to be taken up during the 11th Plan period. Due attention will also be given to infrastructure on power transmission and distribution system through Accelerated Power Development and Reform Programme (APDRP) and Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana (RGGVY).

3) In Social Services sector, education and health will continue to receive high priority. Our endeavour will be not only to sustain the favourable education and health indicators of the State but also to make significant improvement during the course of the Eleventh Plan period. With the implementation of SSA Mission together with the State Plan schemes, the drop-out rate of Elementary Education

ix

- x -

and Secondary Education considerably comes down during the 10th Plan period. Hence, SSA Mission will also be continued during the 11th Plan period for which more State matching contribution will be required.

4) Pursuing the principle of Zero-based Budgeting, all the Departments have been asked to critically review all the ongoing schemes being implemented by them and retain only the deserving ones during the 11th Plan period. They were asked to make extra efforts to complete those schemes / projects which are nearing completion and not to take up any new schemes without completing the ongoing ones so that the limited resources are not spread too thinly. The Departments have also been asked not to propose creation of new posts or purchase of new vehicles during the 11th Plan period.

5) Posts which had been created since the 7th Five Year Plan could not be committed into Non-Plan due to financial constraint which is a heavy burden for poor States like Mizoram. However, as per recommendation of the Twelfth Finance Commission, 2617 nos. of Group ‘C’ & ‘D’ posts will be committed into Non-Plan with effect from 1.4.2007 so that the equal amount of salary expenditure for these posts could be saved and utilised for developmental purposes. Still, the State Government has heavy burden for Plan salary expenditure as some more posts which had been created since the 7th Five Year Plan are maintained under Plan. It is, therefore, desired that more Plan posts be committed into Non-Plan.

DRAFT 11TH FIVE YEAR PLAN 2007 – 2012 & ANNUAL PLAN 2007 – 08AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT (CROP HUSBANDRY)

CROP HUSBANDRY (AGRICULTURE)INTRODUCTION :

The complete strategy for the XIth Plan has emerged from an extensive process of survey and a bottom up grass root level study of the agricultural status in the state. Regional backwardness is the main issue of concern in Mizoram. Lack of adequate rural infrastructure, sectoral investment and research backup facilities are the main bottleneck of sustainable and accelerated growth of agriculture sector. By diversification of agriculture farming, private corporate investment through contract farming system is expected to accelerate the rural economy by expanding the rural –urban trade for domestic processing and promoting exports. The approach plan is first step in this process by suggesting broad objectives, targets and the associated challenges and implication for policy of Plan period. An ambition of doubling the incomes of the average farmers of Mizoram in less than five years with a commitment to reduce poverty to less than 10% in the same period with a target growth rate of GDP at around 4% would ensure that the projected growth is broader base than in the past. The approach plan suggests that this is feasible but it cannot be achieved without special effort, especially if the growth is to be more inclusive. Therefore, the main point of focus identified for potential growth of agriculture sector in Mizoram to achieve the milestone of XIth Plan target are Infrastructure development coupled with the sustainable economic activities for the rural poor. The strategy for Infrastructure development includes an additional increase of. 2000 ha. WRC areas by Land development, 2000 ha. of Terraces for Settlement of Jhumia families, Construction of 250 km and maintenance of existing Potential Area Connectivity roads, Establishment and maintenance of laboratories and farm etc. Under Economic activities intensified cultivation of maize, soyabean, pulses, oilseeds, rice and sugarcane by pit digging and micro irrigation system on a large scale will be taken up as a settlement of jhummia families, Production and distribution of certified seeds through seed village programme/registered growers, Introduction of crop insurance scheme, Subsidy on farm inputs like machineries & implements, fertilizers, chemicals etc. Alongside this the development of cash crop especially Red Oil Palm has been given due focus and to realize this an extensive action plan through the PPP and contractual farming mode has been chalked out which is envisage to cover more than 60,000 Ha of Agro-climatically suitable and identified land mainly jhumias which will cut across the subsequent Five Year Plan. As for Research back up, revitalization of extension services through ATMA scheme will be given due importance.

The total budget size of Rs.21974.00 Lakhs for XI Plan, out of which an annual plan for 2007-2008 amount to Rs.3428.00 Lakhs has been projected.

Therefore, to accelerate the process of development for this under developed agrarian economy of Mizoram an ambitious, challenging and target oriented vision for achieving 4% GDP Growth has been formulated for the Eleventh Plan.

- 1 -


AN APPROACH TO THE ELEVENTH FIVE YEAR PLAN UNDER AGRICULTURE.

The Mizoram ecosystem is primarily mountainous which can broadly be classified as fragile. The ecosystems and the traditional primary production systems are under stress due to several causes such as population growth, over use of natural resources and lack of appropriate development technologies. The high rainfall in the areas combined with deforestation leads to high level of erosion, land degradation and siltation.

Mizoram is a typical example of many of the worlds poorest areas which are small, mountainous landlocked state. These are characterized by diversity of a micro- environment in which flat areas and terraces are under intense land use. Horticultural and Plantation Crops are most often an alternative to the annual field crops. The major constraints are fragile, steep slope and related soil loss, deforestation and limited access to market and infrastructure

Government of Mizoram endorsed the draft approach to 11th Five year Plan especially in Agricultural Sector. The main strategies for accelerating Agricultural growth during Eleventh Five Year in Mizoram for sustainable development as well as self sufficiency in food grains will be as under:

1. Accelerating Agricultural Growth :

Accelerating GDP growth in Agriculture sector to around 4% is a great challenge for the economy as a whole. However, in spite of the plethora of hurdles that is anticipated in achieving this target. The following action plans which gives due cognizance to the demand-supply issues will give an overview of the strategy attempted to achieve the goals.

2. The Demand gap. :

The total population of Mizoram is 8,88,573 as per 2001 census with the total decadal growth rate of 29.18%. As per the decadal growth rate, it is estimated that the total population of Mizoram will reach approximately 11, 47,858, during the eleventh plan period. To meet the minimum food requirements of the projected population of the state, at least 1,00,000 MT of rice has to be produced annually @ 6.75 kg per capita consumption per month ( based on NSS 55th Round, July 1999-June 2000 ).

Regional backwardness is the main issue of concern. Lack of adequate rural infrastructure, sectoral investment and Research back up is the main bottleneck for the sustainable and accelerate growth of Agricultural Sector in Mizoram. As such, larger investment of private sector through contract farming will accelerate the rural economy by expanding rural-rural trade for strengthening support to Agricultural diversification for domestic processing and promoting exports. This strategies will enhance accelerate Agriculture growth in Mizoram over time.

3. Addressing the Supply issue:

Following steps will be initiated to strengthen Foodgrain Production in order to attain food security during the eleventh five year plan.

i). Dissemination of modern technology applicable to small holding in hilly terrain.

ii). Conversion of Jhum land area into permanently cultivated tracts.iii). Increasing area under HYV of rice, maize, oilseeds, pulses.iv). Increasing double-cropped area through multiple cropping.

- 2 -


v). Adoption of short duration HYV of rice to fit into the double/multiple cropping cycle.

vi). Popularization of balanced and integrated use of fertilizers. High yielding seeds, need based plant protection measures, and Integrated Pest Management (IPM).

vii). Making available more number of farm machineries to the farmers at subsidized rates (Like Tractor, Power Tiller etc. including water ppumps and micro irrigation needs).

viii). Promotion of supplementing environmentally sound micro-enterprises to agricultural activities like cultivation of medicinal and Aromatic plants, dairy farming, piggery, poultry farming, apiary and pisiculture through livelihood support system (Crop diversification).

ix). Promotion of vermi-composting, bio-pesticides and compost manure production at local level.

x). Development of low cost high volume rainwater harvesting structures for domestic use and life saving irrigation, Bio-filtration and water recycling (Micro-Irrigation System).

These strategies would be achieved through:

i). Jhum area of 30,000 Ha will be treated during the eleventh five year plan under Control of Shifting Cultivation ( WDPSCA)

ii). An additional area of 5,000 Ha fresh land will be developed through machineries and will be put under Wet Rice cultivation and 3000 Ha of jhum area will be converted into Terraces cultivation under settlement of jhumia families .

iii). 2,00,000 nos of Soil Health card will be issued to the farmersiv). Construction of 1000 KM length of Potential Area Connectivity/road for

transportation of Agriculture produces and inputs and maintenance of 1500 KM existing Potential Area Connectivity

v). Judicious use of fertilizers, Bio- fertilizers and other Organic manures.vi). Promotion of farm mechanization through subsidy on farm machineries.vii). Development of Water Harvesting Structures and judicious use of irrigation

water through drip/micro sprinkler irrigation system.viii). Distribution of quality and HYV seeds through Seed Village programme /

Registered Growersix). Mission Mode approach will be encouraged, all resources from Plan Fund

and Macro-Management Mode of Agriculture (CSS) will be converged with the objective of achieving concerted and accelerated growth in Agriculture sector.

x). Infrastructures like cold storage, processing plant, market facilities etc, will be created for value addition and generating regular incomes for the farming community.

- 3 -


xi). Financial Institution/Banks shall be aggressively impress upon to provide services at the door steps or at least at the village level to help the farmers in availing of various facilities available with the banks. A fresh impetus to Agriculture as a business will be propagated with the pro active role of the Banks in treating Agriculture business as a “Viable Business Proposition” and not a mere poverty alleviation programme.

xii). Re allocation of agriculture land such as the potential land for Agriculture within the Riverine Reserve Forest be identified and demarcated for the purpose of de-reservation and at the same time identify alternate land in the Upper slope and ridges as a substitute within the same jurisdiction. This will enable the farmers to take up intensive cultivation in the river valley as a permanent settlement free from reservation of their land for any purpose other than Agriculture.

xiii). A separate legislation to regulate and promote contract farming arrangements to promote alternative marketing system, contract farming, direct marketing and farmers market with growing quality, etc. will be introduced. This would help in extension of E-trading, direct purchasing, export, etc. in the State.

xiv). The main work force under agriculture sectors are mainly inhabited in the rural areas. 50.5% of the total population in the state is still in the rural areas, sustain their livelihood through farming, which is mere remunerative. It is just livelihood support systems. To uplift the standard of living and Generate Employment Opportunities of the rural people, Diversification of Crops, Organic Farming and Contract Farming through Public Private Partnership (PPP) will be initiated.

The Oil Seeds are the main crop of focus for growth in the Agricultural Sector for the XI Plan. Increase growth can be possible merely through plausible yield increase in currently low yield district/areas.

One of the specific constrain yield gap identified for achieving second green revolution is good quality seeds at the farmers level in a right time, in a right quality. Therefore, under the Oil Seeds Development Scheme the following programme will be prioritize during XI th Plan such as, Organization of seed villages in each District, Production of Certified Seeds through Seed Village Programme/Registered growers, Use of improved Varieties, Use of quality seeds, optimum seed rate and timely sowing and Distribution of Certified Seeds to the farmers .

This would ensure increases in the production of Oilseeds in the state and to achieve self sufficiency enhancement of seed replacement rate, productivity and cropping intensity. The following activities are proposed during the XIth Plan and Annual Plan of 2007-08.

AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT (MIP)

MIZORAM INTODELHNA PROGRAMME (MIP)

Mizoram, a hill state in the strategic North East, predominantly inhabited by

tribal population, is still economically far behind the rest of the country despite its abundant natural resources. Mizoram is basically an agrarian economy characterized by traditional practice of shifting hill farming (jhum) which is becoming less productive due to the shrinking jhum cycle. The persistence of this primitive and destructive method tend to cause soil erosion and forest regression with adverse effect on environment and ecology. Earlier attempts at progressively weaning away the jhumia families to permanent system of cultivation or other means of livelihood has not yielded the desired results.

The Mizoram Intodelhna Programme (MIP) attempts at addressing the problems as it obtains today and seeks to plug the gaps that are perceived to be the cause of failure of settling the jhumias communities. These probable causes of failures are more or less eliminated in Mizoram Intodelhna Programme (MIP). It is expected that the Mizoram Intodelhna Programme (MIP) would serve the people better in achieving its objectives of alleviating their problems.

The present Government accords its highest priority in solving the critical issues of backwardness, unemployment particularly in rural areas, harnessing available local resources and generating income and employment amongst the rural poor. Thus, the Government of Mizoram in their endeavour for a major breakthrough in the developmental process has considered it necessary to work-out a developmental strategy aiming at efficient exploitation of local resources, increasing productivity and generating employment particularly amongst the rural poor. Accordingly a Task Force was constituted to study the whole gamut of the causes of the rural poverty, the shortcomings that plagued similar schemes previously launched, and formulate a scheme for development of the rural economy at the grassroots. The said Task Force composed of experts from different discipline, progressive farmers, experts and prominent citizens prepared a scheme called Mizoram Intodelhna Programme (A project for Self Sufficiency of the Rural poor in Mizoram).

The main purpose of this project is upliftment of the rural poor especially the shifting cultivators. Its main concern is attainment of self-sufficiency, food security and better livelihood for the cultivators. This programme, is aimed at minimizing the undesirable consequences of Shifting Cultivation such as destruction of forest, removal of top soils, landslides and degradation of land. The farmers will to adopt a more profitable, sustainable, permanent system of farming through Agro-Horticulture and Soil Conservation methods.

AN APPROACH TO THE 11TH FIVE YEAR PLANUNDER MIZORAM INTODELHNA PROGRAMME

Agriculture in Mizoram has remained primitive due to the practice of jhuming or shifting cultivation. For various reasons this method of cultivation has not undergone significant changes till date. The main reasons attributed to the persistence of the old farming practices are the lack of suitable land for wet rice cultivation (WRC), lack of adequate water, ignorance and mostly lack of adequate resources. Even though shifting cultivation is destructive for environment, back-breaking and unremunerative for the cultivators, the vast majority of rural and semi-urban householders have to resort to this primitive method of cultivation for want of any alternative farming system or occupation. Rice is the staple food of the people and the paddy harvested from jhums as a whole, is still much more than that harvested from WRC. These cultivators are eagerly looking forward to the day when they will be emancipated from this jhum cultivation. The mountainous country with its steep slopes and



narrow valleys and a few level areas led to this tradition of method in cultivation. This practice, which leads to severe soil erosion (as well as environmental damage), eventually results in reduced yields, abandonment of the plots and moving on to other plots. The Mizoram Government is seized of the implications and disadvantages of the method and proposed to implement a programme that will lead to permanent cultivation of the land by a transition to terrace farming by construction of terraces on the moderate slopes.

The main aims and objectives of Mizoram Intodelhna Programme (MIP) are as follows :

1. To conserve, upgrade and utilise land, water, plants, animals and human resources in an integrated manner to meet the growing demands of cereals, pulses, oilseeds, and cash/commercial crops.

2. To generate massive employment during project period and regular employment after project period for Small and Marginal Farmers.

3. To improve environment, restore ecological balance and promote Agril. Production through Scientific On-farm Land Development and Terraces.

4. To promote development of Water Resources for domestic use as well as Small Scale irrigation by constructing Rain Water Harvesting Dams.

5. To promote cultivation of commercial crops like Oil Palm, Passion fruit, Jatropha and Patchouli etc. and create market linkages for the produce.

6. To promote marketing support system, create networking of collection centres etc..

Thus, the ultimate objectives of the project is to sustain its production and productivity in Agriculture and allied Sectors, improve the standard of living of poor farmers and endeavour for restoration of ecological balance.

SCHEME NO.15

HEAD OF DEVELOPMENT : CROP HUSBANDRYNAME OF THE SCHEME : Mizoram Intodelhna ProgrammePROPOSED OUTLAY FOR 11th PLAN : Rs. 5005.00 lakhsProposed Outlay for 2007-08 : Rs. 1123.00 lakhs

Mizoram Intodelhna Programme is a special programme for enhancing the capabilities of local people to select appropriate livelihood opportunities, access required financial resources, manage new technologies and institutional at the village level. Moreover, this will open up scope for increasing income through sustainable income generating cultivations and on-farm enterprises at micro and small scale level.

The major activity aims at accelerating agro-based growth through selection of thrust crops .Besides the objectives of plugging the loopholes and gaps of the normal annual plan as it would give a major boost to Mizoram economy particularly in the field of poverty alleviation of the rural poor. The requirement of fund for Mizoram Intodelhna Programme (MIP) 2007-2012 under different components would be as mentioned below :-



A. SCHEME PROPOSED UNDER MIZORAM INTODELHNA PROGRAMME

Component-IState Matching Share for Oil Palm (ISOPOM)

Oil Palm development scheme under ISOPOM is launched in Mizoram for self sufficiency in edible oil, to motivate farmers to switch over from jhum cultivation to permanent settlement and to create income generation opportunities for small and marginal farmers. State Matching Share for Oil Palm under Integrated Scheme of Oil Seeds, Pulses, Oil palm and Maize (ISOPOM) is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme on 75:25 sharing basis between Government of India and Government of Mizoram. The Scheme is expected to generate a self sustain economy with the help of Central Government and this scheme will be a development model for Mizoram.

Component-IIManagement Component

Mizoram Intodelhna Programme (MIP) envisages investment of fund in various sectors of the economy to fill in the shortcomings and gaps of the plan allocation for a major boast to the farming economy covering the whole state. Various developmental schemes are contained in the programme which require technocrats and staff for supervision and monitoring of works including office maintenance.

Component-IIIDevelopment of Oil Palm Cultivation:

Oil Palm development scheme under ISOPOM is launched in Mizoram for self sufficiency in edible oil, to motivate farmers to switch over from jhum cultivation to permanent settlement and to create income generation opportunities for small and marginal farmers. Godrej Agrovet Ltd. and Food, Fats Fertilizers Ltd. agreed to buy the oil palm bunch from Mizoram at a reasonable price .The various provisions made under Oil Palm Development which is mainly to plug the gaps in resources are -1).Cost of Planting materials @ Rs 30/-per seedlings 2) Transportation charges of seedlings 3) Potential Connectivity for Oil Palm cultivation areas @ Rs 3.00 lakh per Km. 4) Creation of Irrigation- (a) Community Water Tank @ Rs 1.00 lakh (b) Water Harvesting Structure @ Rs 0.5 lakh (c) Drainage line treatment @ Rs 8350/-per 100 mt, 5) Construction of Table top/halfmoon terraces for plantation of oil palm @ Rs 0.3 lakh per ha. .

Component-IVDevelopment of Passion Fruit

Passion Fruit, is a choice crop of the tropical and sub-tropical belts and yields a sprightly juice with a sweet fragrance rich in Vitamin A. As Mizoram has the ideal climatic condition it has performed exceptionally well in the higher elevation of the state, especially after the Technology Mission (TM) intervention. This is extremely conducive for increasing the area under Passion fruit which will not only uplift the economy of the poor farmers but will also help in adequate supply of raw materials to the Juice Extraction Plant at Chhingchhip. Besides the above, this crop is being given due importance in the year of Mautam (Bamboo flowering) as an alternate crop choice with the anticipation that the pergola technology of cultivation would be less susceptible to rodent damage.



Component-VDevelopment of Turmeric

Turmeric is an important crop with many uses in drug and cosmetic industries besides being used for culinary purposes. It is widely used as a medicinal plant for external application and taken internally as a curative and stimulant. So this crop having high marketability and demand with manifold uses is being taken up in a big way under MIP through the Horticulture Department. Akin to the objective of selecting Passion fruit, Turmeric too has been opted for as an alternate crop. Since it is a known fact that they are relatively less susceptible to damage by rodents – that are expected to attack other standing crops.

Component-VIDevelopment of Patchouli Cultivation :

Patchouli is a herbaceous plant native to South East Asia. The leaves yield Patchouli Oil which is of great importance in the perfume industry. The MIP have initiated cultivation of Patchouli because of its market assurrance and high price and perhaps more importantly after a successful pilot demonstration of the crop during 2005-2006.

Component-VIIDevelopment of Jatropha Cultivation :

MIP in its best effort to diversify agriculture to bring socio-economic transformation especially in rural areas of the state is aware of the need to tow the line of growth with clean development mechanism. The importance is therefore given to the call of the National Bio fuel mission by Government of India. With the above in view and with the objective of securing the energy security environmental friendly and economic benefits of green fuel development, MIP has placed due thrust to the extensive propagation of Jatropha cultivation. Moreover, the program is expected to provide continuous direct and indirect employment opportunities to the rural poor. Vast area and lands besides the cultivable area would be utilised for Jatropha plantation due to its wide adaptability features which would help in utilizing the available vacant lands. Also Jatropha could replace existing non-renumerative crops with its higher productivity.

Component-VIII

Development of Maize and Soyabean:

Maize is an important cereal, over 85% of its production in India is consumed directly as food in various forms. Since maize is a short duration-crop, it conveniently fits into a wide range of crop rotations. Green maize plants acts as succulent fodder crop. It is also widely used in animal feed particularly as poultry feed.

Soyabean treated as both oilseed and pulse crop is a crop with high percentage of protein content (40 %) and oil (20 %) content in the seed. Many different products can be made out of Soyabean, besides it being a widely acclaimed health food. Soyabean is also widely used in animal feed as it forms an important ingredient in production of animal feed. Thus Maize and Soyabean are two important crops which is required for preparation of animal feed in the state. As the production of Maize and Soyabean is not adequate in the state, the present production level is grossly insufficient to feed the two newly commissioned animal feed plant in the state viz. under PIGFED, ITI Veng, Aizawl with a production of 20-30 qtl. per day requiring 20 qtls of Maize/ day and 7 qtls of Soyabean/day and Animal Feed Plant (MODAFER) under Department of AH & Vety with a capacity of 50 ton/day and requiring 50



qtls. maize/day and 10 qtls. soyabean/day. To meet the requirement of these two Animal feed plants, MIP has embarked on a program to increase the area and production of these two crops in the state. This project therefore constitutes one of the core thrust area for MIP.

Component-IX

Sericulture Development

Sericulture can be considered as one of the trades to effectively and systematically create sustainable permanent occupation to the rural poors, enhance self-employment avenues at large to uplift the rural economy of the state. The Sericulture development program has particularly performed very satisfactorily in the State, and has provided for sustained source of income to many farmers who have opted for this trade. The Government has flagged this program as one of the effective option for poverty alleviation and thus find an important place in MIP programming.

Component-XMarketing Development.

Marketing of Agriculture produces is a priority component of MIP. A marketing Sub committee is in place to conduct search and research of marketing avenues to access remunerative markets. Moreover, MIP is also prepared in emergencies to intervene in market operation to ensure that farmers get remunerative prices for the produces. Thus while their will be requirement of funds for market feasibility study, networking of collection centres, post harvest management, there is also a need to provide for funds for direct intervention by way of creating a revolving funds. Which will utilized for immediate payment to the farmers for the produces like passion fruit etc. which will stand replenished after the sale/disposed to the end buyers. This market support arrangement will go a long way to help the farmers who are otherwise vulnerable to distress sale of their produces as has been experienced in the past.

Component-XI

Development of Sugarcane

Sugarcane, the main source of sugar in the country is widely grown in the state of Mizoram. The department of Agriculture is taking up Organic Sugarcane development in a major way and MIP aims at filling up the gaps under NCA. The requirement of fund for sugarcane development is proposed at Rs.130.00 lakh for the year 2007-2008 and Rs.390.00 lakh for the 11th Five Year Plan.

Component -XII

Development of Potato

Potato, continues to have a special place and value as food, and forms an important part of the daily palate in almost all the houses in the country, North Eastern States is no exception. This crop is very well suited to the climatic conditions of the state. It is particularly, a prefered crop for multi-Cropping practice to which the farming communities have been encouraged to practice.



Component – XIIIHydrogers/hydrams

Mizoram receives an abundant rainfall from the month of May – November while the months of January to April and December is dry and there is an acute shortage of water during these period. The state can boast of irrigation channels/rivulets with perenials source of water. The drops of water along these channels and the water from rivulets can be utilised as a good source of irrigation to the needy cultivators during the dry months.

Component XIVConstruction of Project Area Connectivity (Link Road)Department of Agriculture and Horticulture have launched various schemes for

production programmes for oilseeds, fruits and vegetables, etc. To provide better mobility of inputs and farm produces it is very important to construct proper road connectivity infrastructure. MIP also has taken up additional programmes for large scale production of Agri-Horti produces which require 592.67 km of road connectivity with an estimated cost of Rs.348.00.

Component XVIntegrated Land DevelopmentGoverment of Mizoram launched scheme for increasing production of various crops

through on-farm land development and terraces for the extension of area for cultivation of oilpalms, aromatic plants, fruits and vegetables. To increase their productivity, proper land development is highly essential.

Increase in arable land results in increase in food grain production. Under On farm development for WRC are various components viz.Leveling, Bunding, Reshaping, Drainage etc. and construction of terraces at various places is proposed.

AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT (RESEARCH & EDUCATION)

AGRICULTURE (RESEARCH & EDN.)INTRODUCTION

The Directorate of Agriculture (Research & Education) was bifurcated from Agriculture Department during 2002 with a responsibilities to transfer of improved Agriculture technology to the farmers by conducting adaptive research, demonstration and training in different subject of agricultural programme.

The effort of the Department of Agriculture (R&E) is concentrated in looking after a basic agriculture and allied training center established under the name of Integrated Training Center under which inservice and preservice candidates were trained in a two year training course.

Production of seeds and demonstration of new farming system were other areas of thrust taken up by the Department. But these activities were hampered by lack of Infrastructure particularly in the field of production of certified seeds. The activity is taken up in two departmental farms Situated at Chemphai and Rotlang. Good field demonstrations lead to higher adoption of demonstrated practices by the farmers as they develop confidence amongst them in the practices demonstrated. Field demonstrations provided and effective learning situation as farmers “ See the crop themselves “, interact with the scientists and extension workers in the fields “ and “ gets doubts clarified then and there itself. Therefore, Field Demonstrations are very important tools of educating the farmers in a drive for attaining self sufficiency in food production. During 11th Five Year Plan it is proposed to introduce Demonstration under Agril Research and Education as a new scheme.

Under the department there are two functioning KVKs under Kolasib and Lunglei Districts . During 2005-2006, ICAR sanctioned five new KVKs under Lawngtlai, Saiha, Serchhip, Champhai and Mamit Districts. The same will be maintained during 2007-2012.

At present the Department is giving stipend and book grant B.Sc Agri. Under different Agriculture Universities in the country. It is Proposed to continue the programme. Also, additional allocation of seats has been requested from different Agricultural Universities to accommodate the growing demand from candidates who have opted to study B.Sc. Agri.

1. PROPOSED OUTLAY FOR 11th PLAN : Rs. 26.00 lakhs2. PROPOSED OUTLAY FOR 2007-2008 : Rs. 1.00 lakhs

Demonstration in farmers’ field is a long term educational activity conducted in a systematic manner on farmers fields to show worth of a new practice/technology “ Seeing is believing “ is the basic philosophy of field demonstrations. Only proven technologies are therefore, selected for filed demonstration. Field Demonstrations educate farmers through results obtained in terms of varieties resistance to diseases and pest, quality of the grains, and overall higher yields. In addition it also educates the farmers in terms of inputs-output ratio and economic gains in terms of net returns. Basically, there are two types of field demonstration:

i) Single practice demonstration : A single Practice Demonstration aims at providing the worth of a single practice such as effects of balance fertilizers in rice crop, higher yields from the newly released varieties of hybrid maize, effect of irrigation at crown root initiation stage of wheat , effect of new pesticide on fruit borer in gram etc.

ii) Composite demonstration : A Composite Demonstration is a combination of field based result demonstrations and achain of skill oriented method demonstrations. A long sequential method demonstrations (Composite Demonstration) aim at demonstrating the superiority of package of practices in growing a field crops. Here the effect of one practice harnessing the effect of other practices is also demonstrated and studied. For example, combined effect of irrigation and fertilizer application on grain yield and quality of a newly released mustard variety may be demonstrated as a composite demonstration.

AGRICULTURE RESEARCH & EDUCATION

The Scheme has been implemented by the Department for quite a long time and the impact of the Scheme has been very encouraging . This scheme is being implemented under the following sub-head.

Adaptive Research : One of the goal in Agriculture is higher and sustainable production through diversified farming. In order to achieve this, a multi-disciplinary approach to the application of technology in the development of agriculture is necessary. Therefore, ICAR has been entrusted to conduct fundamental and applied research in the field of


AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT (RESEARCH & EDUCATION) agriculture and allied sector . Adaptive research is done by the state department of agriculture which have adequate resources and wide jurisdiction through out the Agro-climatic region of

the State. Since, the main objective of the state Government of Mizoram is to reach self-sufficiency in food, it is necessary to conduct different adaptive research and demonstration through KVK for farmers education and also for transfer of technology to the farmers.

Agriculture Education : Education under agriculture broadly all the farmers, education in the subject from the school to university level and also informal and non-formal education for those who are involved in agriculture in various ways. So far, only one centre has been established to give training to in–service and pre-service candidate in respect of agriculture and allied subjects. There is a need to strengthen the Institution to provide training in agriculture not only to in-service and pre-service candidate but also to school drop-outs. This will help in crop production programme as the trained personal will do for agriculture production programme. It is further proposed to continue farmers training and other programme through KVKs during 11th plan period.

SOIL & WATER CONSERVATION DEPARTMENT

SOIL & WATER CONSERVATION

1.0 Background introduction to 11th Five Year Plan (2007-2012) and Annual Plan (2007-2008) :

Land Resource Conservation and Development are crucial for sustained agricultural Production, water resources enhancement, flood and soil erosion management and harnessing hydropower potential at the basin. Land and water constitute the important resource base to meet the essential requirements of society such as food, fodder, fibre, fuel, timber etc. Land degradation poses a severe challenge to life of reservoirs, perennial streams and agricultural productivity in the State. Reservoirs of hydropower, drinking water supply and irrigation potentials are threatened by heavy siltation due to uncontrolled land degradation and improper land use. Heavy run off with high siltation annually results in uncontrollable flood in the neighbouring Assam Plains.

The 11th Plan will focus main thrust on conservation of rainwater through catchment Area and drainage lines treatments in the micro-watersheds to mitigate flood and siltation, enhance ground water storage and recharge by a series of check dams. The thrust will also be on promoting in-situ moisture conservation by eco-friendly agricultural production systems like terracing, water harvesting structures and appropriate vegetation/cash crops of economic value. Peoples involvement in the planning, execution and employment generation will be given importance in the 11th Plan. Erosion Control in current Jhum lands will also be a priority scheme in the 11th Plan.

The 11th Plan endeavours to achieve the twin objectives of sustainable production of biomass and restoration of ecological balance in the State. It focuses on :-

(a) Conservation, upgradation and utilization of land, Water, Plant, Animal and human resources in a harmonious and integrated manner.

(b) Prevention of land degradation by adoption of a multi-disciplinary integrated approach involving Agronomy, Forestry and Engineering disciplines in the treated areas.

(c) Improvement of production environments and restoration of ecological balance through scientific management of land and water.

(d) Employment generation during the project and regular employment after the project/scheme completion to rural people.

Thus, the ultimate objective of this Plan is to develop the natural resource-base, sustain its productivity, improve the standard of living of rural farmers, and endeavour for restoration of ecological balance.



The Draft Plan outlay on 11th Five Year Plan is Rs. 2078.00 lakhs and Annual Plan for 2007-08 is Rs. 440.00 lakhs.

Scheme wise Description :-

1. Direction & Administration : Under this, all contingent expenditures including salary under plan posts are met as a normal scheme. Monitoring & Evaluation, Planning Cell, Information and Publicity, Engineering Cell and Research, Education & Training Institute (RETI) will be under this scheme in 11th Plan. Rs,697.00 lakhs and Rs112.80 lakhs are proposed for 11th Plan and Annual Plan 2007-2008

2. Hillside Terracing :- Intensive Terracing for Hill Side cultivation/plantation is the most effective way of retaining soil particles and debris, checking and detaining surface run-off, and enhancing deep percolation for ground water storage and minimize discharge to down streams/rivers. This programme is unavoidable wherever Agri. based activities are intensified. It is also a programme for flood moderation, increasing ground water resources and water pollution control. This is the continuing scheme from 10th Plan of Run-off Retarding Scheme. Rs. 320.00 lakhs and Rs. 56.00 lakhs for 2720 Ha and 476 Ha respectively for 11th Plan and Annual Plan 2007-08 are proposed.

3. Mechanical Conservation by Engineering works : Flooding and erosion are gaining alarming importance in the low lying areas. The source of this hazardous event is in the hilly places. Considering the ever increasing flood and silt deposits with complicated problems, drastic conservation measures on agriculturally potential lands alone are far from satisfactory but intensive treatments by series of silt detention structures along the rivers ,streams and their tributaries in the hills are top priority to moderate flood, prevent river bank scouring, detain run-off water and enhance ground water storage for use in the lean season. The catchment are treatment will be complimented with live vegetative conservation plantation. This is the scheme of 10th

Plan to be continued in 11th Plan on a wider scale. Rs. 110.00 lakhs and Rs. 20.00 lakhs are proposed for 1100 Nos. and 200 Nos. of structures respectively for 11th plan and Annual Plan 2007-2008.

4. Erosion Control in Jhumland : This is the new scheme for 11th Plan. Shifting cultivation is still in practice today. Until and unless viable alternative, easily adoptable and conveniently suitable culturally to the rural people are found, this practice is likely to continue for years ahead. As per a reliable estimate, around 30,000 – 40,000 ha. is put under shifting cultivation every year till today. Soil erosion under shifting cultivation can be well over 50 tonnes/ha/year. This is much much higher than normally permissible limit of around 4 tons/ha/year. Considering such enormous loss of soil and plant nutrients every year, it is just not possible to sit idle and watch the situation from a distance. Therefore, the Department proposes a comprehensive Scheme for Controlling soil erosion in jhum lands by logwood bunding and life hedges wherever convenient soon after jhum burning to minimize heavy Soil loss and enhance production from jhuming. Rs. 201.00 lakhs and Rs. 55.00 lakhs are proposed for 6700 Ha and 1833 ha respectively in 11th Plan & Annual Plan 2007-2008.



5. Watershed Survey & Management : Project preparation, engagement of Consultancy firm for survey, investigation, pre-preparation of projects and State matching share of CSS are placed under this head of Expenditure. Rs. 40.00 lakhs and Rs, 15.00 lakhs are proposed for 11th Plan and Annual Plan 2007-2008 respectively.

6. Water Resources Conservation & Development : In the midst of abundant water resources during monsoon season and extreme scarcity of the same in the lean season even for drinking purposes, water is the biggest constraint in bio-mass production in the State. This clearly indicates gross neglect in scientific management of water resources for food production and public health sector. The gap between this extremities can be effectively bridged by both intensive and extensive programme of rain water harvesting structures for crop production, animal and human betterment with micro irrigation on individual basis. Due to peculiar nature of the terrain, water development on community basis are not feasible in most of the cases, hence, individual basis is necessary. This is also a continuing scheme from 10 th Plan and a comprehensive scheme is needed in the 11th Plan. Rs. 230.00 lakhs and Rs. 68.00 lakhs are proposed for 1150 Nos and 340 Nos Water Harvesting Tanks/Ponds respectively for 11th Plan and Annual Plan 2007-2008.

7. Conservation Plantation : Good bio-mass ground cover maintains ecological balance, promotes infiltration and percolation of surface run-off, enhances ground water storage and minimizes soil loss. It is eco friendly measure of conservation and can be effectively carried out in combination with mechanical conservation measures for village water sources, river and stream catchment feeding Agri. lands and hydro power stations.

FISHERIES DEPARTMENT

FISHERIESINTRODUCTION

The main thrust during the 11th Five Year Plan is to bring in more additional water area under culture sector through Freshwater Aquaculture and Coldwater Fisheries as well as to develop the Riverine and Reservoir fisheries in Mizoram. The state has as good as 24,000ha of potential land for fish farming and it has been possible to develop around 2,580ha of water area in the culture sector and also tap in the natural resources of the rivers to produce around 3500M.T of fishes by the end of 2005-2006.

The strategy to augment the production further during the 11th Five Year Plan will require more investment to tap in all the CSS programme by contribution of state share. The bulk of the total outlay for the 11th Plan i.e, Rs.369 lakhs out of Rs.999 lakhs proposed is directly linked to production of fish and fish seeds in the region. Other sources of CSS fund in the tune of Rs.1123.40 lakhs would significantly play a vital role in augmenting the fish production to the targeted level of 5000M.T during the 11th Five Year Plan.

With a demand lead approach the scheme, ‘Fresh water Aquaculture’ aims in enhancing fish production towards self sufficiency and employment and income generation in the rural areas by targeting an additional 3600Ha of water area for fish culture during the 11th Plan. The critical scheme like Fish Seed Production-cum-Farming have been approached with practicability in the field to give a dynamic result in fish seeds by taking into account the significance of inputs etc.

In the sectors like Extension & Training and Fresh Water Aquaculture the farmers participatory approach has been considered to result in project sustenance. Further in order to eliminate the imbalance or workload against the weak manpower of the Department, creation of new posts has also been proposed under the Direction and Administration to strengthen the organization of the Department during the 11th Five Year Plan.

DETAILS OF THE SCHEMES DURING 11TH FIVE YEAR PLAN (2007-2012) AND ANNUAL PLAN 2007-2008.

SCHEME NO.I

1. DIRECTION AND ADMINISTRATION:-Although the Fisheries Department in Mizoram started setting up during the erstwhile Union Territory in 1972 it has started functioning as a separate Directorate since 1993. With the increasing work load due to the implementation of various fisheries developmental activities and growth of resources it is imperative to strengthen its weak manpower at the Directorate and Administration level. Therefore, the scheme provides for increasing the manpower by creation of new ponds besides maintenance of the existing Plan staff and other administrative cost to cope up the growth of activities successfully during the 11th Five Year Plan(2007-2012).

Present organizational set up:- The present organizational structure of Fisheries Department is shown in details under Annexure ‘C’ at page 31. In fact, the organizational structure shows a very weak set-up with insufficient manpower infrastructure. There is no post of Director, however, the Department is headed by a Director on officiating basis at present. Also, there is no SDO(Fishery) posts even at the Sub-Divisional level not to speak of Block level. For administration purpose the present 8nos of Districts are clubbed together into 3 Districts viz:- (1) Aizawl District(undivided) comprising of Aizawl ‘E’, Champhai, Serchhip, Kolasib and Mamit Districts (2) Lunglei District (3) Chhimtuipui District (undivided) comprising of Saiha and Lawngtlai Districts and they are looked after by 3 District Officers and 1 Asst.Director of Fisheries. The Fish Farmers Development Agency Units(5nos) are also looked after by 3(three) District Fisheries Development Officers and 1(one) Asst.Director of Fisheries in addition to their normal duties as Chief Executive Officers which should be in fact, functioned separately. The organizational structure is also lacking many branches/wings like Planning, Information, Extension & Training, Marketing etc and there is no proper Nodal Officers viz:- Dy.Director (Technical/Administration). Planning etc in the Department.

Due to this weak organizational set up the development activities and strategic planning of fisheries in the state could not pick up the momentum. Therefore, it is proposed to strengthen the organization as per the requirement shown under Direction and Administration schemes separately during the 11th Five Year Plan.

The Draft 11th Five Year Plan outlay under Direction and Administration is Rs.262.00 lakhs and Draft Annual Plan 2007-2008 is Rs.115.00 lakhs as per details shown below:-

A. DIRECTION:-(i) Draft 11th Five Year Plan Outlay :- Rs.185.00 lakhs(ii) Draft Annual Plan outlay 2007-2008 :- Rs.46.00 lakhs(iii) Anticipated expenditure 2006-2007 :- Rs.30.00 lakhs



The Department requires upgradation into full fledged Directorate with at least 8 wings and function under the Nodal Officers viz:-

(i) Establishment Unit(ii) Planning Unit(iii) Fish Seed Production-cum-Farming Unit(iv) Freshwater Aquaculture(v) Riverine and Cold Water Fisheries Unit(vi) Information, Extension, Training & Research Unit(vii) Marketing Unit(viii) Fisheries Statistics(Database) Unit

The Department of Fisheries has very weak infrastructures like Office buildings and staff quarters in the Headquarters, Districts, Sub-Divisional and Circle levels for proper and smooth functioning of the Department. It is therefore, proposed to construct Office buildings and staff quarters for the Directorate as well as the District Headquarter during the 11th Five Year Plan period. Site for the Directorate Office/Staff Quarters has already been allotted to the Department for the above purpose.

B. ADMINISTRATION:- The Administrative set up is also required to re-organize its structure to improve its capacity for implementation of various developmental activities. At present 3 administrative units are functioning at District level and is headed by District Fisheries Development Officer. It is difficult to implement the developmental Plan Schemes smoothly due to lack of supporting staff. With the existence of 8 Districts in the state it is required to strengthen the organizational structure in Fisheries Department in the field level during 11th Plan as shown below:-

EXISTING PROPOSEDCreation of Districts

Creation of Sub-Divisions

5nos(Kolasib, Mamit, Champhai, Serchhip and Lawngtlai) 10 nos

The administrative organisation in the District Head Quarters and the set up in the field level are very weak in infrastructures which poses a constraint in smooth implementation of various fisheries developmental programme. A strong co-ordination is required with the staff posted in the field, District Headquarter and the Directorate by ensuring proper working environments. Hence the working infrastructures viz:- Office Buildings, Staff Quarters etc can not be looked over and it is quite inevitable to provide these facilities for concentrating/streamlining effectively on the job.

Therefore, a provision has been made in the 11th Five Year Plan to construct District Office Buildings and Staff Quarters for smooth functioning of fisheries development activities at the District level. This would also curtail the rental charges towards hiring of buildings.

Details of the scheme with a provisional outlay of Rs.277.00 lakhs under Administration during the 11th Five Year Plan are shown below:-

(i) Draft 11th Five Year Plan outlay :- Rs.277.00 lakhs(ii) Draft Annual Plan outlay 2007-2008 :- Rs.69.00lakhs(iii) Anticipated expenditure 2006-2007 :- Rs.61.00lakhs

Fish seeds being a crucial input for boosting up fish production of a region its continuous availability is a must to enhance fish yield in the state. However, the present production of fish seeds in Mizoram is far below the actual requirement. Therefore, the strategy for producing quality fish seeds in the region during the 11th Five Year Plan are as follows:-

(a) To produce enough fish seeds by concentrating the efforts exhaustively in the existing 3 Departmental Fish Seed Farms viz:- Lengpui, Tamdil and Zobawk.

(b) Privatisation of other Departmental Fish Seed Farms for production of fish seeds and fish.

(c) Setting up fish seed rearing Units at critical remote areas which is quite potential in fisheries viz:- Champhai, Chawngte etc.

(a) Strategy:- The Departmental Fish Seed Farms at Lengpui, Tamdil and Zobawk requires a strong organization vamped with sufficient staff to run as a full fledged seed production unit. More effort towards funding of the farms are required to have sufficient inputs, labours etc for production of fish seeds. A critical problem faced usually in the Fish Seed Farms are non-availability of good stock of brooder fishes which could be solved by raising sufficient fingerlings in the ponds or by purchasing brood stock from other sources for rearing up in the farms. Therefore, the 11th Five Year Plan draft proposal provides funds for meeting the above requirements.

(b) Due to paucity of fund and lack of manpower the Departmental Fish Seed Farms which are not producing fish seeds adequately may be commercialized by privatization to the progressive private entrepreneurs(Fisheries Society/Federation etc) of the region for production of quality fish seeds/fishes to the desired level.

(c) The potential remote areas of fisheries like Champhai, Chawngte etc could be supplied with adequate fish seeds by constructing fish seed rearing and distribution Units. Spawns/fry could be raised up to fingerlings in these units for supply to the farmers of remote areas for enhancing fish production.

A financial outlay of Rs.41.00 lakhs (token provision) has been proposed under the scheme during the 11th Five Year Plan as per details shown below:-

The main thrust during the 11th Five Year Plan is to boost up the level of fish production in the State from 3650M.T to 5000M.T in order to bridge the gap of fish demand in the region. Therefore, the strategy in the Plan is to raise the level of fish production from 1800kg/ha to 3000kg/ha. For achieving this target it is required to bring more additional water area under fish culture and strengthen by intensive supply of inputs viz:- Fish Seeds, Fish Feed etc to the fish farmers under the FFDA(CSS) and National Fisheries Development Board activities as per the Central pattern of assistance.

Govt.of India has sanctioned 5(five) FFDA(Fish Farmers Development Agency) to be implemented sharing the fund on approved item of works by Central Govt.and State Govt.on 75:25 basis at Aizawl, Kolasib, Mamit, Lunglei and Saiha Districts and they are functioning quite well. To avail the share of Govt.of India it is proposed to avail the subsidy for farmers for construction of new ponds, renovation of existing ponds, providing inputs to the fish farmers, training of farmers etc from Govt.of India for increasing more water areas as well as for Development of Waterlogged areas. Under the scheme there is provision for availing subsidy to individual farmers for integrated fish farming, aerator/pumps, setting up freshwater fish seed Hatchery and for establishment of fish feed unit on private sector during the 11th Five Year Plan.



Further, the 11th Plan 2007-2012 it also envisages creation of 2(two) new Fish Farmers Development Agency Units for Champhai and Serchhip District as per the Govt.of India’s District wise approach of Fish Farmers Development Agency(CSS). The potentiality and resources for fish farming is high in every District of Mizoram. Therefore functioning Fish Farmers Development Agency Units in every District is necessary for proper exploitation of resource towards boosting up fish yield by availing the District-wise Central assistance under Freshwater Aquaculture. This will ensure the fisheries development much more faster in the individual Districts in achieving the targets of self sufficiency in fish in Mizoram.

The scheme also provides for other activities for boosting up fish production viz:- Aquaculture in ponds and tanks, Reservoir fisheries and Domestic marketing under the programme of National Fisheries Development Board during the 11th Plan.

A provisional outlay of Rs.386.00 lakhs is proposed in the 11th Five Year Plan as State share under Freshwater Aquaculture as per details shown below:-

SCHEME NO.4

4. DEVELOPMENT OF RIVERINE FISHERIES UNDER INLAND CAPTURE FISHERIES(RESERVOIRS/RIVERS ETC)

(i) 11th Five Year Plan outlay 2007-2012 :- Rs.23.00 lakhs(ii) Annual Plan outlay 2007-2008 :- Rs.10.00 lakhs(iii) Anticipated expenditure 2006-2007 :- Rs.0.50 lakhs

Conservation and protection of Riverine Fisheries is quite essential to enhance the fish yield from the Rivers/Reservoirs etc(Capture sector). The Department has taken up ranching programme in the rivers by the stocking fish seeds to propagate the Riverine and Reservoirs stocks. More efforts are required to study and survey the major riverine system towards conservation and propagation of economic varieties of fishes.

Inland Capture Fisheries(Reservoirs/Rivers etc) which is a scheme under CSS Programme of Govt.of India on Development of Inland Fisheries and Aquaculture under Macro Management approach envisages implementation of schemes through the Fisheries Department of State Govt.on 75:25 central and state share financing pattern. During the 11th Five Year Plan it is proposed to implement the scheme under CSS programme by availing 75% scheme cost from Central Govt.and providing 25% State annual plan fund taking a view for conservation and protection of Rivers/Reservoirs fisheries.

With the existence of the Mizoram Fisheries Act which has been passed by the Mizoram Legislative Assembly on 27.9.2005, its implementation will call for intensive study and survey of riverine system, fauna and habitats of economically important varieties of fishes, declaration of fish sanctuary etc for development of Riverine Fisheries in the state.Besides development of riverine fisheries and reservoir fisheries(in the Hydro electricity Reservoir and Irrigation water bodies) will generate employment among the dwellers in the vicinity of the reservoirs.



SCHEME NO.55. COLD WATER FISHERIES(CSS):-

1) 11th Five Year Plan outlay 2007-2012 :- Rs.9.00 lakhs2) Annual Plan outlay 2007-2008 :- Rs.4.00 lakhs

3) Anticipated expenditure 2006-2007 :- Rs.2.50 lakhs

The Annual Plan, 2006-07 envisages to develop cold water fisheries in the state by initiating with Resource survey works and experimentation for rearing/breeding of cold water fishes viz:- Mahseer species etc in the Departmental Fish Farms as well as on fish farmers fish pond situated at higher elevation in Mizoram by availing 75% of Central assistance from Govt.of India under Coldwater Fisheries(CSS).

There is an ample scope for developing the Coldwater Fishery in local rivers, reservoir lakes etc in Mizoram. During the Eleventh Plan it is proposed to develop Coldwater fish farming in the state for production of Mahaseers etc and propagation by stocking in the rivers, reservoir etc. Running water fish culture has also immense scope in the hilly streams and could be developed by renovation/remodeling of many water bodies in the region. Therefore, the 11th Plan envisages to promote these ventures for boosting up the fish production in the state.

The outlay proposed during the 11th Five Year Plan under the scheme is Rs.9.00 lakhs as State share.

SCHEME NO.6

6. INFORMATION, EXTENSION & TRAINING:-(i) 11th Five Year Plan outlay 2007-2012 :- Rs.29.00 lakhs(ii) Annual Plan outlay 2007-2008 :- Rs.12.90 lakhs(iii) Anticipated expenditure 2006-2007 :- Rs.14.00 lakhs

Dissemination of technology at the grass root level is a must for improving the farmers knowledge and skill to enhance fish production. The whole system of Information & Extension requires strengthening the infrastructure and manpower for research and development, and Lab to land application for raising the fish production. The thrust in the Eleventh Plan is Human Resource Development through the CSS Programme and to educate the pisciculturists for augmenting fish production. The Scheme also provides for publication of training and extension manuals under the programme of Fisheries Training & Extension(CSS). The existing Demonstration Farms are to be renovated and put under training centres with proper infrastructures for exercising method and result demonstrations viz:- Culture of Freshwater Prawn etc.

The 11th Five Year Plan also provides fund for meeting the cost of organizing training of the fish farmers and deputing In-service/fresh personnels for training in various courses of fisheries science.

The Information, Extension & Training scheme in Fisheries Department will be strengthened with the assistance under the CSS scheme, Training and Extension which is to be implemented on 80:20 Central and State funding pattern. In order to encourage the farmers participation in fish production with right use of fisheries technology,


FISHERIES DEPARTMENT Workshop/Seminars and training have been envisaged under the CSS programme during the 11th Five Year Plan.

SCHEME NO.7

4. INLAND FISH MARKETING:-(i) 11th Five Year Plan outlay 2007-2012 :- Rs.38.00 lakhs(ii) Annual Plan outlay 2007-2008 :- Rs.17.00 lakhs(iii) Anticipated expenditure 2006-2007 :- Rs.4.00 lakhs

Fish Marketing in Mizoram is very poor due to lack of proper communication, ware-housing and transport facilities. Though the production from culture sector has improved a lot but due to the above lacunae the produces does not reach the marketing centre timely. Such being the situation it is felt imperative to improve the Fisheries marketing system by way of enhancing the capacities of the existing Ice Plans, Cold Storages and providing transport facilities with Insulated Vans. Besides small Ice Plants of manageable capacities are also required to set up at the potential areas viz:- Zawlnuam, Tlabung etc for better disposal of fish produces to the main markets.

Therefore, the scheme provides for maintenance of the existing 3nos of Ice Plants and 2 Cold Storages properly for regular production of ice blocks, purchase of Insulated Van, setting up of Ice Plants etc during the 11th Five Year Plan.

SCHEME NO.8

8. DEVELOPMENT OF INLAND FISHERIES STATISTICS (DATABASE):-

The scheme provides for maintenance of the on-going Centrally Sponsored Scheme for Development of Inland Fisheries Statistics through information, networking, survey etc. The Scheme is functioning with 100% grant-in-aid from the Central Government towards Salary of staff, Machineries & Equipments etc. Therefore, a token provision of Rs.0.50 lakh has been kept towards meeting the incidental charges under the scheme during the 11th Five Year Plan.

SCHEME NO.9

(i) 11th Five Year Plan outlay 2007-2012 :- Rs.10.50 lakhs(ii) Annual Plan outlay 2007-2008 :- Rs.5.00 lakhs

9. COMMERCIAL FISH FARMING THROUGH CONTRACT FARMING:-

Commercial fish farming could be taken up in water bodies both in private sector and Govt.sector through contract farming for boosting unit area productivity of fish in the state. This would form an avenue for transforming primitive and traditional sustainable farming, to modern commercial fish farming.

Under the scheme the Department proposes to take up large water bodies for fish farming in the private sector(farmers ponds) by contract farming system. This system would also offer the farmers a market assurance of his farm produces by undertaking the marketing of his produces by the Department. Thereby it would encourage them in enhancing the fish production through motivation and modernization.

The 11th Plan envisages the Working Group’s recommendation for augmenting the fish production through contract farming system and it is targeted to advocate the practice in around 83Ha of water area during the 11th Five Year Plan.

1. DIRECTION AND ADMINISTRATION :

Socio-economic development of the people through cooperatives envisaged reorganization of the department to cover wider field of activities and effective performance. Therefore, the organizational set up of Cooperation Department is urgently required to be strengthened and expanded with a view to restructuring the cooperative movement. Separation of Inspection and Audit with separate staff to have proper gross checking is found a must and is proposed to be done during the 11th Plan period.

LAND AND BUILDING :

During the 11th Five Year Plan the Department proposed to construct the Office Building and Staff Quarters in the districts of Kolasib, Champhai, Mamit, Serchhip, Lunglei and Saiha. The Department has acquired suitable sites in those districts for such construction.

2. TRAINING AND EDUCATION (HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT) :Specific knowledge has to be acquired for strengthening the Cooperative

Movement and for efficient management of Cooperatives. A numbers of Officers have been sent to undergo Post Graduate Diploma Course on Cooperative Management in VAMNICOM, Pune and Higher Diploma Courses in Cooperative Management at the Institute of Cooperative Management at Guwahati. The Officers and Staff have also been undergoing various coursed organized by A.T.I, Aizawl. Since, skill management assumes special significance, it is intended to send more officers for various training courses for the development of effective and professionalised management.

3. AUDIT AND EVALUATION OF COOPERATIVES :



Audit of Cooperative Societies is statutory. For the evaluation of Cooperatives functioning, Audit, Inspection and Supervision is profoundly necessary. Audit Cell has been created under this Department. This establishment maintain Chief Audit Officer, Accountant, U.D.C, L.D.C and Driver considering the heavy workloads. This mere skeleton is not enough. In almost all the state of the country, Audit Cell and Inspection cell are separately maintained. Auditors are doing only audit works. But here in Mizoram, Audit and Inspection are performed by the same person and as such, there can be no cross checking on the performances of the Auditors. It also give undue heavy workloads which hamper the efficient performances of the Auditor cum Inspectors. Where as All India norms is 20 Primary Coop. Societies located in a compact area for one Auditors, in Mizoram one Auditors audited more than 50 primary Cooperative Societies scattered at every nook and corner of Mizoram. Not only this, the same Auditor has to perform inspection, taking feasibility enquiry for organizing new Coop. Societies, organization, liquidation etc. It is therefore, suggested that Audit Cell and Inspection Cell be separately maintained and manned by different person.

4. COOPERATIVE STATISTICS :

For preparations of various statistical statements as desired by the State Govt., Central Govt. and other agencies and for the information about the position of Cooperative Movement as per the datas, facts and figures, a Statistical Cell is necessary in the Department.

5. PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION (INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL PROJECT) :

For effective and proper implementation and planning of various State Govt’s Projects and Central Govt. Projects a Cell is found necessary to be created. This will be manned by one Officers and other required Officers and Staff will be pooled from the existing Officers and Staff.

6. PUBLICITY, INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY :Under this Scheme one Research Officer will be appointed to assess and

evaluate the achievement and implementation of various schemes projected by the department and will provide needful technical guidance/assistance for different schemes etc. One of the drawbacks of the Department is the lack of Publicity of its programmes and their implementations due to absence of the required Fund. For Monitoring the progress of the Departmental Actions, using Information Technology is the most effective and cheapest means. For this, the Department is proposing to have fund from the 11th Plan period of 2007 - 2012.

7. AUDIT AND EVALUATION OF COOPERATIVES :Audit of Cooperative Societies is statutory. For the evaluation of

Cooperatives functioning, Audit, Inspection and Supervision is profoundly necessary. Audit Cell has been created under this Department. This establishment maintain Chief Audit Officer, Accountant, U.D.C, L.D.C and Driver considering the heavy workloads. This mere skeleton is not enough. In almost all the state of the country, Audit Cell and Inspection cell are separately maintained. Auditors are doing only audit works. But here in Mizoram, Audit and Inspection are performed by the same person and as such, there can be no cross checking on the performances of the Auditors. It also give undue heavy workloads


COOPERATION DEPARTMENT which hamper the efficient performances of the Auditor cum Inspectors. Where as All India norms is 20 Primary Coop. Societies located in a compact area for one Auditors, in Mizoram one Auditors audited more than 50 primary Cooperative Societies scattered at every nook and corner of Mizoram. Not only this, the same Auditor has to perform inspection, taking feasibility enquiry for organizing new Coop. Societies, organization, liquidation etc. It is therefore, suggested that Audit Cell and Inspection Cell be separately maintained and manned by different person.

8. ASSISTANCE TO PUBLIC SECTOR AND OTHER UNDERTAKINGS :(A) MIZOFED LTD . :

This is the only Consumer Federation in the State. Having 196 share holders Cooperative Societies this Federation handles Consumers and essential commodities and has controlled the market to a great extent as well as the Consumer Movement in the State. MIZOFED, being an agent of Indian Oil Corporation Ltd., also handles major chunk of petroleum products and LPG imported from outside the State through its network of 8 Depots 6 LPG Show Room and Storages. Another LPG Show Room is commissioned at Mamit. Efforts are on the way to install another POL Depot within the Capital City of Aizawl and Hrangchalkawn, Lunglei in order to meet the increasing demand of the public. The Federation runs the Consumer Stores in various places of Aizawl and Lunglei and has been doing fairly well in checking the price roses of certain commodities in the market. It proposed to expand its consumer and marketing activities during the 11th Plan period and made a provision of grant for price support. In some States, it is learnt that priorities have been given to State Level Consumers and Marketing Federation which, in turn, benefited its linked grass-roots Cooperative Societies. But in the State of Mizoram, MIZOFED is not given enough priorities on its acativities. To relieve the MIZOFED of Tax burden and to share the benefits to its share holder members Societies and the general public.

The Petrol Pump managed by MIZOFED at Lunglei and Aizawl Town are located at Private Land. It is proposed that grant may be given to MIZOFED for purchase of this site.

(B) PRIMARY CONSUMER COOPERATIVES :Primary Consumer Cooperative Societies play a significant role in the rural economy. It is a vital institutional structure in the distribution of various items of essential commodities throughout the State and thus exert a healthy influence on market prices of essential commodities of mass consumption. They are also playing consumption. They are also playing an important role in safeguarding the interest of consumers by eliminating the unfair practices of private traders. The Consumer Cooperative maintain full time Mangers to manage the business affairs. It is necessary to provide them managerial subsidy and transport subsidy as would enable them to sell the commodities at reduced price for the benefit of the people.

9. ASSISTANCE TO HANDLOOM & WEAVING COOPERATIVE SOCIETIES :

This Scheme includes MAHCO Ltd., Primary Handloom Cooperatives,Processing Cooperatives, Carpentry, Black smithy, Shoe Makers Cooperative etc.

MAHCO is the only Apex Handloom Cooperative Organisation fundtioning throughout the entire State. It has 120 affiliated Primary Handloom Cooperative Societies and a members of Individual Weavers scattered all over the State comprising of 120


COOPERATION DEPARTMENT members. MAHCO has organized Handloom Fairs in the District Headquarters of the State in order to boost up Handloom activity and also to popularize the handloom products vis-à-vis speed up the market.

During the 11th Five Year Plan period of 2007 – 2012 Grant-in-aids is proposed as would enable MAHCO to play pivotal role in the upliftment of Primary Handloom Cooperatives for creating income generation to the weavers in the field of production and marketing handloom products.

(b) PRIMARY HANDLOOM COOPERATIVE SOCIETIES :

Handloom and Weaving is a traditional industry and occupation of Mizoram. There are 146 Handloom Cooperative Societies in the State. There is great prospect of handloom in the State. Financial assistance is needed for the Primary Handloom Cooperative Societies for purchase of raw materials and construction of work shed etc.

9. ASSISTANCE TO FARMING, FRUITS AND VEGETABLE GROWERS COOPERATIVE SOCIETIES :

Farming is the main occupation of the rural people in the State. Growing of Gingers, Chillies, Paddy, Fruits and Vegetables is the common practice among the Growers Cooperative Societies. Improvement of the performances of the Farming and Fruit and Vegetable Growers Cooperative Societies is essential for the economic and Social Development of the people.

(a) MAFF LTD :This is the Apex Level Cooperative Federation of Farming, Fruit and Vegetable

Growers Cooperative Societies in the State. It procures agricultural inputs like fertilizers, pesticides etc. from the National Agencies such as IFFCO, BVFC and supplies to the member Cooperative Societies. Govt. of Mizoram selected MAFF Ltd as one of the dealers of Agri. Inputs in the State. For procurement and supply of Agricultural input to the member Cooperative Societies and for procurement of their products like Ginger, Fruits and Vegetables at a remunerative prices financial assistance as Working Capital Grant is needed. Besides this, Growers in the State are always incurring losses due to incongruous high cost of production and law price of the produces in the terminal market. To protect the growers from incurring heavy losses due to distress sale, provision of price support in the Department is a must. It is, therefore, proposed that Price Support may be given to Farming, Fruits and Vegetable Cooperatives of the State.

(b) Primary Farming, Fruit and Vegetable Cooperatives :

Development of Primary Farming, Fruit and Vegetable Cooperative Societies is necessary for socio-economic condition of poor rural people. At present there are 27 Primary Farming, Fruits & Vegetable Cooperative Societies in the State. To increase farm production capacity in the State to combat ensuing famine and to eradicate proverty, financial support to these Cooperative Societies is much needed.



10. ASSISTANCE TO DAIRY AND LIVESTOCK MULTI-COMMODITY COOPERATIVE SOCIETIES :

(A) MULCO : The Mizoram Multi-Commodity Producer’s Cooperative Union Ltd. is a State Level Society, engaged in milk procurement, processing and marketing. It is one of the registered Societies which could post a net profit from resources mobilized by their efforts from its business. However, demand gap and supply gap has to be stabilized in such a way that the needs for the organization/Union and the Societies are actually mattered on a regular basis. Infrastructure need such as Milk Collection Centres in various suburban localities identified numbering 26 units be strengthen by provision of clean building, clean utensil and modernized milk testing equipments to ensure clean milk production. This is an emerging issue where the end consumers shall be given the privileges of hearing quality milk and milk products. In ensuing this programme the Department wishes to have a provision in the plan budget to implement in a year wise phasing.

(B) Primary Livestock Multi-Commodity Cooperative Societies :

These Primary Multi-Commodity Cooperative Societies are rearing Cows and produce milk which they supply to MULCO Ltd. It is an effective source of livelihood of rural people. Development of these Cooperative Societies is important.

11. ASSISTANCE TO CREDIT AND BANKING :

(A) MIZORAM COOPERATIVE APEX BANK LTD . :This State Cooperative Bank has been providing Credit for Agricultural and other

productive purposes. The Bank is presently functioning through the network of 10 Branches throughout the State. The Govt. has deployed one Assistant Registrar of Cooperative Societies in the Bank to guide the Board in Cooperative Management and other related matters. Due to introduction of Non-Performing Asset/Prudential Norms by R.B.I and the poor repayment of Loan, the erosion of assets increased significantly for which the Bank is booked under section 11 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949.

MEDIUM IRRIGATION (PWD)

MEDIUM IRRIGATION (PWD)INTRODUCTION :-

Mizoram is having a hilly topography. Shifting cultivation is themain method of cultivation of food grains and vegetables. The method causes vast destruction of natural resources in the form of deforestation and heavy soil erosion. However, at a few scattered pockets in plain areas of major river banks, wet rice cultivation is also carried out.

The scope of Medium Irrigation in Mizoram is therefore very limited, but protection of riverbanks from overflowing to the existing cultivable plain is very much required.

ACHIEVEMENT OF THE 10 TH PLAN : -

No provision was kept for Direction and Administration during the 10th Plan (2002

HEAD OF DEVELOPMENT : COMMAND AREA DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMENAME OF THE SCHEME : COMMAND AREA DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME


A study of several completed irrigation projects has revealed that utilisation of

the potentials created by completed minor irrigation projects is low. Absence of distribution channels, lining of water channels to save water, land levelling and other activities are main factors. Under Command Area Development Programmes like adoptive trials, supply of inputs, extension service and other activities as mentioned above will also be taken up.

As such cluster of 28 completed Minor Irrigation projects in Aizawl, 4 clusters in Lunglei and 8 clusters in Chhimtuipui covering gross command area of 1361 have been sanctioned by Government of India to be taken under Command Area Development Programme w.e.f. 2001-2002. The same projects are approved to be continued in 2005-06. Detailed Physical and Financial target proposed for 2005-06 are as follows:-

Mizoram Food & Allied Industries Corporation Ltd. (MIFCO) :

(Budget Head : 4851 – Capital Outlay on Village & Small Industries)

In the ensuing 11th Five Year Plan : 2007-2012, MIFCO proposes to promote private sector in food processing industries. So much so, a Project Consultancy Cell has been established so as to render assistance to private entrepreneurs by way of preparation of Detailed Project Reports for seeking financial assistance from various sources like Govt. of India, Ministry of Food Processing Industries etc. Moreover, MIFCO proposes to take up such Projects as to benefit the private sector units like Cold

Storage, Pack House and Value Added Centre. Hence the main thrust of the 11th Five Year Plan for MIFCO will be on private sector, instead of further promotion of public sector units.

By the end of the current financial year 2006-2007, the paid up capital of MIFCO would be Rs.16.04 crores, out of the authorised share capital of Rs.20 crores. As such, MIFCO proposes that the balance amount of Rs.3.94 crores would be distributed during the 5 years period by reducing the amount year after year. Moreover, the commissioned units of MIFCO are expected to earn revenue by way of profit from

sales of products thereby earning profit by the end of the 11th Five Year Plan, instead of incurring losses year after year.

On careful examination of the prevailing industrial scenario in food processing sector of the State, MIFCO proposes to take up only Services-related Projects viz. Pack House, Cold Chain, Cold Storage and Value Added Centre for the benefit of potential private entrepreneurs who will be rendered all possible assistance by the Corporation.

Main focus of the 11th Five Year Plan of MIFCO :

* Promotion of Private Sector(i) Project Consultancy Cell(ii) Services-related Projects

* Generation of revenue through joint venture with reputed company in passion fruit juice concentrate

* MIFCO's Office Building

Commercial Tea Plantation have been developed in Biate villages during the 9th

& 10th Plan period. There are around 42 lakhs Tea Bushes covering 285 hectares of land. This would be sufficient to feed the existing Tea Factory, commissioned in 2006. It is therefore, proposed to discontinue commercial Tea Plantation during the 11th Plan period. Small Tea growers of Biate are, however, free to expand their garden to earn more income.

In Ngopa, Commercial Tea Plantation started during the last two years of 9th

Plan. It is still continued during the 10th Plan. Therefore, it is proposed to continue during the 1st three years of 11th Plan. During this period of ten years, it is expected that around 49 lakhs tea bushes covering 240 hectares of land would come under Tea Plantation which would be sufficient to feed one Tea Factory, commissioned in 2004.

It is also proposed to cover three new villages under Commercial Tea Plantation during the 11th Plan period. Two villages – Seling and Tlungvel would be covered from the first year of the Plan and Baktawng village from the fourth year.

Development of Medium Bamboo Cluster for Primary Processing and value addition :

Bamboo can be processed into various applications for revenue generation. However, bamboo, in its natural form, is routed and hollow, which leads to constraints in transport. The alternative is primary processing in an area over the sources. So, medium bamboo cluster for primary processing and value addition as a feeder to the main industry is proposed. The projected industries are paper mill, mat ply industry, floor based industry and stick making units. The unit cost of cluster is estimated at an average of Rs.40.00 lakh. It is proposed to set up such clusters during the 5-year period.

Grant-in-Aid to Bamboo Development Agency : With an object of all-round bamboo sector development in the State and utilization aspects as thrust area, the Government of Mizoram has established a Society named Bamboo Development Agency. The Agency has been entrusted with various works/projects like Bamboo Technology Park, Joint Venture with Mizoram Venus Bamboo Products (P) Ltd. And Zonun Mat Ply Ltd., Industrial Complex at Bairabi, Facilitation Training cum Production Centre at Zuangtui, Bamboo Resource Area Connectivity Road at Bairabi, Nodal Agency for ASIDE Scheme in Mizoram and Chip business with NITOL Group of Bangladesh and Cachar Paper Mill, promotion and assistance to various private bamboo processing units, implementation of some portion of BAFFACOS Scheme, etc.

The Agency has started generating some income from its activities, however, certain shortfalls will be there and with a prospect in growth bamboo based industries in the State, the Agency will be in need of strengthening, etc.

As such, an amount of Rs.75.00 lakhs is proposed for the 11th Five Year Plan.

Other Expenses : Some expenditure will be required for entrepreneurship development, skill upgradation, publicity – information dissemination, advertisement, entertainment, etc and to cover these activities, an amount of Rs.200.00 lakhs is proposed during the 11th Five Year Plan.

SERICULTURE

SERICULTUREIntroduction :

Sericulture Industry is family-oriented, labour intensive, ideally suited to countries in the tropical region where unemployment continues to be a serious problem. It has also been said to be a meeting place of Agriculture, Arts and Industries as it involves in cultivation of Silkworm food plants, Seed production and rearing of silkworms are an Art requiring skilled hands and the post cocoon technology upto its marketing are purely Industries.

Sericulture practices can rightly fit into the Socio-economic structure of the rural areas and play significant role for reconstruction of rural economy benefiting mostly the weaker section of the society. The most important consideration is the effective utilization of family manpower, indiscriminately, the old aged, handicapped, illiterate and women folk. It is also the most important tool to fill up the gap between the rich and the poor distributing wealth among the farmers, reelers, weavers and traders where the lion share goes to the poor farmers.

In fact Sericulture is practised as a viable rural Industry as it gives remunerative employment to family labour throughout the year and ensures periodic income even from small land holdin g with low financial investment. It has a ready market and is export oriented.

Objectives :

(i) To uplift the rural economy in the State.

(ii) To generate direct and indirect gainful employment.

(iii) In the context of Mizoram, it aims at weaning away the devastating Jhum Cultivation by establishing Sericulture farming in the private sector, which will be permanent and sustainable occupation for the rural poor.

(iv) To produce more cocoon and raw silk for the benefit of the farmer in particular and to increase the State’s revenue in general.

Uniqueness :

(i) The wealth is transferred from the rich to the poor where maximum share goes to the poor.(ii) Indiscriminate utilization of family manpowers. In other words, in Sericulture activities all kinds of people can equally involved.(iii) Nothing is practically a waste in Sericulture. Mulberry twigs are used as firewood, the litters a manure, the pupae for oil extraction, poultry/fish/human feed, the Mulberry trunk for making cricket bat, hockey stick, etc.

The State of Mizoram has been proved to be an ideal place for the development of Sericulture Industry. The climatic condition, rainfall and fertility of the soil are congenial for cultivation of Silkworm food plants and rearing of Silkworms of all varieties like Mulberry, Eri, Muga and Oak Tasar. A team of experts from the Central Silk Board had visited Mizoram in November, 1976 to conduct


SERICULTUREfeasibility survey. The team had visited many parts of the State and their finding was reproduced as follows :-

The State of Mizoram has all the prerequisites for the development of all kind of Silkworm varieties.

The Sericulture experts from JICA who have visited Mizoram in March, 2000 have also realised with much surprise the fact that without application of fertilizer/manure for years together the Mulberry trees thrive well and put forth leaf almost throughout the year.

The four sectors of Sericulture Industry which are being exploited on commercial basis are :-

(a) Mulberry : Mulberry plantation can be raised easily everywhere in the State. It grows at lower altitude on sides of the hill and on top of the hills also. It has been approved that different Mulberry varieties including hybrid varieties have also been successfully propagated in many parts of the State. Since Mulberry is a fast growing perennial plants and the silk produced from silkworms, feeding on Mulberry leaf is of high quality and commonly used by people of the world, the State Govt. also has given priority for its development during the 10th Plan period which will continue in the 11th Plan Period also.

(b) Eri : Eri silkworm is semi-wild in nature and successfully cultured in the State of Mizoram. The silk produced by the Eri Cocoons is commonly used for chuhidar (showl) and silk quilt making. Eri food plants like Castor, Kesseru, Tapioca, etc. can be grown in all parts of the State without difficulty. Therefore, step will be taken to promote Eri industry also during the 11th Plan.

(c) Muga : Muga Silkworm is found only in the the then Assam Valley including Mizoram. It produces golden silk which fetches the highest price as compared to all other variety of silk yarns. Mizoram is found to be one of the promising States for production of golden Muga cocoons which, in turn, may be a good source of income for the State.

(d) Oak Tasar : It has been estimated that over 30000 hectares of natural grown Oak trees are available in the north eastern part of the State. The Oak trees are the main food plant of Oak Tasar Silkworm.

In spite of all the aforesaid advantages that the State of Mizoram has for the development of Sericulture Industry, the growth of Sericulture Department in the State has been at a very slow pace and the reasons to this are attributed to lack of the required infrastructural facilities, paucity of fund, inadequate number of staff, etc.

During the 11th Plan period (2007-2012) Sericulture Department will intensify its Plan and implementation Programmes towards production of Bivoltine Mulberry Silk and also Eri and Muga Sectors shall be given importance simultaneously. To meet these ends maximum quantity of high yielding Mulberry variety, som/soalu and kesseru/castor


SERICULTUREshall be introduced in the private sectors. In the meantime seed Grainages, rearing and post cocoon Technologies shall be upgraded/improved as far as practicable.

Since various Catalytic Programmes under Silk Board are proposed to be implemented during the 11th Plan Period, necessary provision as matching contributions have been provided under Promotion & Extension scheme.

THE SCHEMES :

During the 11th Plan Period also the seven (7) ongoing schemes will continue to be implemented. However, a number of additional new components will be added in some of the Schemes.

The followings are the major continuing schemes to be implemented in the 11th Plan Period.

1. Direction2. Administration3. Promotion and Extension4. Sericulture Marketing5. Research & Training6. Silk Processing (Post cocoon technology)7. Seed Organisation

Brief description of the schemes are as follows :

NO.1 : DIRECTION & ADMINISTRATION :

This scheme aims at strengthening of Directorate administration, planning and implementation, monitoring of all work activities, financial control to over all control of sanction expenditures.

During the 11th Plan Period residential quarters will be constructed in the Directorate Complex. The existing buildings will be maintained and improvement shall be made as per requirement from time to time. Fencing of Sericulture Complex, Chaltlang shall be taken up too..

Under Administration of District offices, the main components of the scheme are :-

(i) Maintenance and upkeep of all District Offices(ii) During the 11th Plan Period, 5 District Offices and 15 nos. of Staff quarters

are proposed to be constructed at different Districts of the State.(iii) All Seed farms and centres shall be maintained which include repairs of

technical buildings, offices and quarters. Production of Cocoons and raw silk will be 500 M.T. and 50 M.T. respectively.

(iv) Creation of posts are also proposed as per necessity.(Rs. in lakh)

NO. 3 : PROMOTION & EXTENSION

This Scheme mainly concern with extension and promotional activities at village level benefiting the farmers. It provides technical assistance and gives subsidy/grant-in-aid to the registered farmers from time to time. Various Catalytic Development Projects sponsored by the Central Silk Board will be incorporated under this scheme for promotional upgradation of Mulberry, Eri, Muga, Oak Tasar and Post Cocoon activities.

The scheme will extensively provide planting materials including fencing materials and machineries/equipments to the farmers. During 11th Plan Period, it is proposed to cover 10000 families under Mulberry Sector, 500 families under Muga Sector, 500 families under Eri Sector and 300 families under Oak Tasar Sector. Since the existing strength of staff is far below the requirement, necessary posts from Extension Officer down to Rearer are proposed to be created to cope with the increasing work activities.

Outlay for the scheme during 11th Plan & Annual Plan 2007-08 is as below :-

Promotion & Extension 741.00 35.00

NO. 4 : SERICULTURE MARKETING

In more advanced states/countries, so long as marketing is concerned, systematically organized marketing by-laws and procedures to be followed are framed. In such marketing system the sales and transactions are between the farmers, reelers and the weavers. The involvement of the Government is so little.

In the case of Mizoram where such systems are yet to be at our reach, the marketing of the produce of the farmers has been directly handled by the Government Department. This is necessary since there is no organized silk reeler and weaver in the State. In short, the cocoons produced by the farmers are purchased by the Government at the rates fixed by the Government from time to time. To purchase the cocoons produced by the farmers the Sericulture Department fixed five places as purchasing centres. These centres are Aizawl, Serchhip, Champhai, Kolasib and Lunglei.

In all the above purchasing centres, scientific cocoon godowns are required to be constructed for storage of cocoons before they are sent to the reeling factory at Zemabawk. During 11th Plan as far as practicable marketing of Sericulture produce are propose to be privatized. Therefore, this has to be examined in-depth to see its practical feasibility carefully.

Besides, all necessary equipments/machineries will be purchased. Tentative allocations for the 11th Plan and Annual Plan 2007-08 are as below

SERICULTURE NO. 5 : RESEARCH & TRAINING

As already mentioned in the aforesaid para, Sericulture Industry is an Agro-based which requires wide range of scientific technologies with different financial investments. Therefore, proper studies on silkworm metamorphose, pathology, Agronomy, Arboriculture and ecology are indispensable to make Sericulture Industry flourish economically viable. The success of Sericulture Industry largely depend on the availability of required Scientific knowledge and its application in the field at the right time and at the right place.

This can be achieved through realisation of the importance of Research and Training activities based on well-organized scientific lines, equipped with the most advanced scientific instruments to evolve new concepts of scientific methodology for application to field activities with minimum financial investment.

At this end, the Department of Sericulture had established one Research and Training Institute at Zemabawk with the following objectives.

1. To depute B.Sc. graduates for training in post Graduate Diploma in Sericulture to various Sericulture Institutes in India.

2. To Impart training to matriculates for one year certificate course training.3. To impart short-term training to the in-service personnel and the private farmers

in Post cocoon sector4. To conduct study tours for trainees from time to time.5. To conduct mobile training to farmers of far flung areas. It is proposed to train

10000 farmers and 150 in-service persons.6. Construction/repairs of quarters.

Besides above, during the 11th Plan period the Research and Training institute, Zemabawk will be entrusted to work on plant protection and plant & animal pathology extensively so as to eradicate various dreadful disease of food plants and silkworms. Necessary post for teaching staff will be created during 11th Plan period.

Targets for 11th Plan and Annual Plan 2007-08 are as below.(Rs. in lakh)

NO.6 : SILK PROCESSING (POST COCOON TECHNOLOGY)

The main theme of Sericulture Industry is to make earnings through Sales of various Sericulture products to individuals, societies in the State.

Unless the cocoons so produced are processed to produce raw silk and silk fabrics, Sericulture activities are said to be incomplete. The cocoons produced are subjected to various post Cocoon technologies in order to produce quality raw silk and silk goods for sale in the market.


SERICULTUREThe cocoon processing comprises of selection of quality cocoons, stifling,

cooking, degumming, reeling/spinning, twisting, weaving and so on. Cocoon processing required highly skilled hands in order to produce quality raw silk and silk fabrics to catch viable markets.

At this objective, the Sericulture Department is having one Reeling Factory at Zemabawk. Apart from producing raw silk and silk fabrics these units have also been producing silk quilts in abundance which has marketing potential everywhere in the country. Since the production of reeling cocoons is increasing year after year, it has become a necessity to have one more Reeling machine like the existing ones. Under this scheme there is one silk weaving and dyeing unit at Aizawl where silk fabrics of various designs are produced.

Therefore the main aim of this scheme is to create & encourage private reelers/weavers so as to sustain their livelihood through sales of their products. At least one automatic silk reeling machine will be installed in the private sector during 11th

Plan.

However, to make the Department capable of increasing the revenue through Sales of Sericultural products, the reeling factory has to be strengthened by providing necessary infrastructures.

NO. 7 : SEED ORGANISATION

The whole gamut of seed production comprises of seed organization for systematic and methodical multiplication of basic seed and industrial seed on scientific line and its proper and efficient management of breeders stock and its multiplication for ultimate production of industrial hybrid seed which involved, in seed production, viz. breeders stock, basic seed and industrial seed. This will also include maintenance of purity, vigour and vitality.

The main theme of seed organization is to produce sufficient healthy silkworm eggs to meet the requirement of the farmers.

Although the department has been very much aware about how to have systematic seed organization in the past, it was unable to organize standard seed organization due to paucity of fund. Even in the 11th Plan, if fund is not provided sufficiently, this scheme shall flop and the victims will be the poor farmers.

Main activities in the 11th Plan will be :

(i) To construct 6 nos. of Seed grainages at Lunglei, Serchhip, Champhai, Thenzawl, Aizawl and Kolasib.

(ii) To produce 20.00 lakh nos. industrial seeds.(iii) Necessary equipments will be purchased.

MINES & MINERALS

INTRODUCTION: The Geology & Mining Wing of Industries Department undertake the following Schemes during the 10th Plan (2002-07):-1). Ground Water Investigation , development and Monitoring.2). Geotechnical Investigations and 3). Minor Mineral Investigation and Development.

During this Five year Plan, the Drilling Rigs donated by N.E.C during 1988-89 become unusable due to break down of the engines and much head way could not be made in the development of Ground water. In spite of the stated conditions, the department is conducting detail Ground water Investigations in 6 district Capitals , viz Aizawl, Lunglei, Champhai, Kolasib and Mamit and quarterly monitoring of the ground water conditions were conducted .

The department also conducted landslide investigations and zonation in a phase manner. The department, in coordination with the Town and Country Planning wing of Local Administration Department, conducted number of House Site Investigations for issuing House Construction Approval of private parties. Besides, the department, in coordination with the Regional Research Laboratory (RRL), Jorha,. installed Seismograph during 2005-06, for monitoring earthquakes in Mizoram. Slope stability mapping and disaster monitoring has also been conducted in different parts of the state during this period

The department has implemented the Mizoram Minor Mineral Concession Rules, 2000 with effect from 2005-06. Number of quarrying permits have been issued in different parts of the state earning considerable amount of revenue for the state. Factory for manufacturing of stone slabs/tiles was also set up by the department during this period, with the assistance of N.E.C which will make use of the hard rock resources, and shell limestones in different parts of the state.

In order to monitor the exploitation of minor minerals like sand, building materials/hard rocks, clay etc. the department proposes to open at least three (3) District Offices during the 11th Five Year Plan. Govt of Mizoram has also approved to erect check gates for monitoring the movements of minor minerals at ten(10) locations in different parts of the state. It is also expected that the exploitation of sand deposits will go in a big way to earn revenue for the state in the coming years. As such, the department requires strengthening in man power and it is also proposes that a separate Directorate can be established during the 11th Five Year Plan. The detail of work programme and Financial requirement during the 11th Five Year Plan 2007-2012 are stated below:-

Five Year Plan due to its peculiar nature of transportation service it delivers to the general public at low cost fares and freights purely in the interest of public service. Hence, most of the schemes taken up during the 10th Plan are inevitably proposed to carry on in the 11th Five Year Plan.

Followings are the main schemes proposed to be taken up during the 11th

Five Year Plan 2007-12.Re-Construction of Directorate office Building of Transport Department : As per

the recommendation of the Disaster Management Committee and as a result of the findings by the Inspection Team, re-construction of Directorate Building of Transport Department is proposed..

Augmentation of Buses: Most of the present fleet are overage and did not suffice the need of the existing routes. Besides, due to improvement and augmentation of roads, procurement of new Buses such as Medium Buses and A.C Coaches are automatically needed in order to meet the requirement of passengers.

Upgradation of Central Workshop: As a result of Govt’s policy on privatization of vehicle, it is proposed that Transport Department be declared as Centralised Nodal Department for Govt. Vehicles repair. Therefore, upgradation of Central Workshop with special tools and machineries are proposed in addition to the existing equipments.

E-Governance: To cope with the necessities of modernization, the Department proposed to introduce Computerisation of MST services, aiming to promote better performances within the department services for the interest of the public during the 11th Five Year Plan..

Promoting Public Private Partnership: The Department endorses a new initiative to promote public private partnership as far as practicable within the realms of its activities. As a pilot project, certain number of routes will be declared and notified as exclusive routes for the MST only. On these routes, Private Operators will run their passengers and goods service under the banner of MST only. Certain amount of share from the earnings of these private operators will contribute to the Department revenue collection. In return, the Department will provide necessary service for repairs of their vehicles at concession rates, maintaining the equilibrium of profits in favor of the Government. The scheme is also co-related with up-gradation of the existing two Workshops run by the Department. It will also generate self-employment opportunity for educated youth, especially in rural and semi-urban areas.

All other on-going programmes and schemes which were taken up during the 10th Five Year Plan under Road Transport Wing are also proposed to save and continue in the 11th Five Year Plan 2007 – 2012.

M.V.WING

2041 – TAXES ON VEHICLES (M.V.Wing)

The state of Mizoram is pacing towards all round development along with its sister states in the North East India. Increasing development of road infrastructures and commercial activities resulted in enormous increase in vehicle population in the State. As an offshoot of this positive advancement, the duties and responsibilities of the MV Wing has been considerably enhanced during the 10th Five Year Plan. Therefore, to cope with this development and future expansion, it is considered necessary to up-grade the Wing with modernized technology, strengthening with effective infrastructure demand of the growing needs and widening its function in the newly created Districts of the State. In the scenario, enforcement of the M.V Act and Rules can be efficiently carried out only if new District Transport Offices are opened in the newly created Districts, in the interest of public service. Simultaneously, revenue collection of the Department is expected to increase to a large extent from this Wing of the Department.

The existing STA Office is holding the main gear and acting as a nerve center for enforcement of MV Act and Rules in the whole state of Mizoram. They look after the MV Wing of the Department relating to all STA matters and enforcement of MV Act and Rules in letter and spirit. However, they are functioning with no full-fledged staffing patterns and essential infrastructures. Therefore, strengthening of this Wing is proposed to take up in the 11th Five Year Plan.

In the district of Aizawl, vehicle population is rapidly increased day by day thereby burdening the workload of the existing DTO Office becoming heavier than ever before in every sunrise of the day. The existing DTO and staff are inadequate to effectively enforce MV Act and Rules in the present condition. Hence, opening of another DTO Office in Aizawl District, dividing jurisdictions in North and South districts, is inevitably needed to efficiently deliver the service requirement and demand of vehicle owners and general public. The Department proposes to open a new DTO Office in the existing Aizawl District during the 11th Five Year Plan.

Opening of new DTO Offices in Mamit and Lawngtlai District Headquarters is also proposed due to pressing public demand and increasing vehicular population in these newly created districts. It is, therefore, desirable to be implemented during the 11th Five Year Plan.

Hence, the following schemes are proposed to take up during the 11th

Five Year Plan 2007 – 2012, and Annual Plan 2007-08. Abstract of the schemes are as below -

2.2 Special Manpower Development:

The first requirement in the knowledge society is education which is central to personal, organizational and national well-being. Important strategic policy decisions on education must be taken in the next few years.

These decisions must reflect the need to:(i) Upliftment of educated unemployed youths of Mizoram through IT Entrepreneurs

Development Programme for sustainable self-employment generation. (ii) Change organizational structure to enable them to deliver learning efficiently in an

information society, from pre-school children to senior citizens.(iii) Adapt and develop curricula to take advantage of opportunities afforded by IT to

boost creativity, give greater access to information, and improve learning capability.

(iv) Retain the best parts of our current educational culture in the quest for high standards of scholastic attainment, with optional use of IT as a learning and educational aid.

(v) Sponsoring students opted for regular classes in MCA, MSc (IT), BE/B.Tech (Computer/IT), M.Tech/MS/M.Phil (Computer/IT), Ph.D (Computer/IT).

(vi) Training of Government Employees/Public Sectors from the level of LDC to Secretaries and all MLAs.

(vii) IT Professional training programme for educated unemployed youths of Mizoram with special focus on Networking, Database, Internet Technologies, eGovernance and e-security.

During 11th Five Year Plan, it is proposed to set up Mizoram Institute of Information Technology (MIIT) to development Entrepreneurs in the fields of Communication & IT. This Institute may not only conduct Entrepreneurs Programme but also to conduct


INFORMATION & COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGYspecial IT training programme for all the Government’s employees of the Government of Mizoram. Later, this Institute will become Software Standardization, Testing and Quality Control Centre for performing software audit & evaluation, software product certification, software testing & evaluation, software quality assurance, and software planning and control.

2.3 IT Promotional DevelopmentAnother important area that needs to be deliberated on is, evolving a suitable and effective mechanism for launching mass IT awareness campaign. IT awareness is one of the effective mechanisms for IT promotion in the state of Mizoram. The common man in the state is largely unaware of the benefits and potential of IT in his or her day-to-day life. A massive awareness campaign is therefore required to be launched, to educate people about what IT can mean for improving their quality of life. Information regarding government rules, regulations, programmes and services is an essential aspect of empowering the people. Launching of IT Yatras (journeys) and other forms of awareness campaign across the state in collaboration with NGOs, educational institutions, corporate sector and others are available options to this end.

Workshop and Seminar are also one of the important factors for governing IT Promotion in the State. IT Entrepreneurs Development programme will also be organized to promote IT Industry, IT Software and IT Services in the state of Mizoram.

Under this scheme, various activities such as publication of Mizoram IT Journal, holding of Exhibitions, Seminars, IT Mela, and IT Yatra (Journey) will be taken up in association with Mizoram IT Teachers Association, Computer Associated Industries, and Mizoram IT Promoters’ Association. Top tens of Class X & XII students in Computer & IT subject at the MBSE examination will be given one Desktop Computer each every year for promoting IT among the students.

ENVIRONMENT & FOREST

ENVIRONMENT & FORESTS DEPARTMENT

The approach for the 11th Five Year Plan incorporates the following main elements:

- Resource mobilization – harvest and sale of bamboos in view of gregarious flowering.

- Increasing forest productivity. The per hectare growing stock of Mizoram’s forest is only 35 cum as against the national average of 65 cum/ha. A massive programme for increasing productivity through people’s centric approach in afforestation is required in order to meet the growing demand for timber and fuelwood.

- Rehabilitation of jhumlands through promotion of agro-forestry/farm forestry.

- A special focus on Biological Conservation in view of North Eastern Region’s unique position as biological highway between India and the Malayan region. This will include development and conservation of medicinal plants, orchids and bamboos.

- To preserve, protect and manage the State’s forest and wildlife resources, infrastructural improvements, capacity and management interventions are also proposed which include suitable mechanisms for protection, preparation of Working Plans and strengthening of human resource planning and management, including mutation of fertile riverine forests with hill forests.

- Provision of quality planting materials through improved and innovative technologies in nursery and plantation. This will be part of the Green Mizoram Programme launched since 1999 which is a people’s movement in the State.

- Strengthening of Institutional framework for World Bank Project Cell, Bamboo Cell, State Biodiversity Board and Pollution Control Board. The JFM network will also be further strengthened for greater involvement of people and sustaining such programmes.

- Strengthening of monitoring mechanism through establishment of IT network to the Divisional/Range levels is also envisaged.

- Maintenance of forest under Finance Commission.



INTRODUCTORY NOTES ON THE STATEMENT OF XI th FIVE YEAR PLAN 2007-2012 OF ENVIRONMENT & FOREST DEPARTMENT

The XIth Plan Strategy of the Environment & Forests Department is to meet day-to day needs of local population for food, water, fuel, fodder, timber, non-wood forest products and for long term environment stability, ecological balance and economic development of the state.

The actual Forest cover in the country is monitored every two years by Forest Survey of India based on studies of Satellite imageries. The geographical area of Mizoram has dense forests and the major portions are open forests and the rest is scrub/non-forest areas. As per National Forest Policy 1988, in the hills and in mountainous regions like Mizoram, the aim should be to maintain two-third of the area under forest or tree cover in order to prevent erosion and land degradation and to ensure the stability of the fragile eco-system. As against this goal; at present notified forests (reserved/protected forests) constitute about 38% of the geographical area and even most of these are open, degraded and subject to pressure of shifting cultivation, encroachments, grazing fire, illicit felling etc.

However, Bamboo resources are abundant in the state and efforts have been made to establish tissue, culture, laboratory and bamboo sectors. Further, bamboo plantation development works shall also be taken with active participation of farmers interested in growing bamboo in farm sector.

The practice of shifting cultivation had contributed to a large scale deforestation in disturbing ecological balance considerably i.e. destruction of wild animals and their habitats, elimination of source of water and so on. It also converted vast area comprising valuable timber trees into degraded or barren land.

The survey, demarcation, mapping and settlement of land including forests lands is pre-requisite for evolving proper integrated land use system. This is yet to be completed. Hence for proper control and scientific management of forests on a sustainable basis consolidation of notified forests/reserved forests will be necessary.

More attention will be given in the productivity of forests most of which is very low. There has been very little silvicultural research to evolve technologies and practices suiting to local conditions to increase productivity.

Damages to forests by illicit fellings and removal of forests produce, fire-encroachments, grazing are common. Protection of forests from such factors would be necessary by strengthening the organizational set up and equipping the staff with vehicles/boats, Arms and communication facilities to be effective in preventing such damages. At present organization is ill-equipped to deal with above.

There is wide gap between sustainable supplies from existing forest resources and the demands to be met from them. Hence to increase production of wood and non-timber forest produce to meet local needs and to reduce the gap between supply and demand, taking up massive forest regeneration programme (both plantation and aided natural regeneration) would be necessary.Plantation created need periodic tendings in the nature of thinning, opening fire lines to prevent fire damage etc. to optimize the final yield. However, no funds could be made available after formation years of such plantations in the past with the result that for want of subsequent tendings, growth and development of plantations have been affected adversely. It would be necessary to provide sufficient funds for periodic tendings and protection of forest area already regenerated to optimize the yield from forest lands.



Mizoram is quite rich in bio-diversity and genetic resources. To conserve, protect and develop the bio-diversity and genetic resources, protected area net-work (National Parks, Sanctuaries) will need to be further expanded and those already declared consolidated for future to latest report.

To meet increasing demand of forest produce and at the same time reduce pressure on existing shrinking forest resources, extension of tree cover beyond conventional forest areas would be necessary. For the purpose, tree growing and protecting forests with active involvement and participation of private individuals and communities will need to be promoted on massive scale through appropriate extension programmes.

To cope up with increased work programmes envisages to be undertaken as above for preservation, development and sustainable management of forests through Working Plan/Scheme and wildlife, strengthening of the forests organizations with respect to man-power and the Human resource development through training, equipments and facilities would also be necessary during the plan period.

The total proposed outlay for the XIth Five Year Plan (2007-2012) and Annual Plan (2007-2008) is as follows (Rs. in lakh) :

ITEM WISE DESCRIPTION

1. DIRECTION AND ADMINISTRATION

(1) DIRECTION : The Organisational set up of Environment & Forest Department is required to be strengthened and expanded with a view to shoulder the challenges in protection of open forest wealth, wildlife, planning, execution, supervision, co-ordination, monitoring of development programmes, utilization of forest awareness and seeking participation of people in protection and development of forests, administration and enforcement of Laws on forests, wildlife and environment, research, training of personnel etc.

The present administrative set up is not considered adequate for an efficient management of forests. To bring better control and management of forest resources on scientific basis, it is necessary to have an efficient administrative organization with sufficient officers at management level and adequate staff at execution level.

Financial outlay proposed for maintenance of existing staff of 59 Nos. and establishment cost of PCCF Office and 5 Circle Offices during the XIth Five Year Plan (2007 – 2012) is Rs 625.00 lakhs and Annual Plan (2007 – 2008) is Rs 170.00 lakhs.

(2) ADMINISTRATION: This scheme is to provide expenditure towards salary/allowances towards the salary/allowances of the existing 101 nos. staff of the establishment of 11 existing Territorial Divisions besides the normal expenses to run these establishments. Financial outlay proposed during XIth Five Year Plan (2007 – 2012) is Rs 650.00 lakhs and Annual Plan (2007 – 2008) is Rs 180.00 lakhs

2. SURVEY OF FOREST RESOURCES

The main objective of the scheme is Forestry Research and Consolidation of Forests including preparation of management plans (working plans) for forest resources. Under this scheme the following 2 programmes are proposed to be taken up.

(i) Forestry Research(ii) Consolidation of Forests & Working Plans.

3. FORESTRY RESEARCH

In spite of the fact that Forestry Research is the very foundation for forestry development, till recently the same has not been taken up seriously in Mizoram. With a view to give impetus to the forestry research, the existing Forest Resources Survey Division was created during 1986-1987. Moreover, there is very poor database on Silvicultural practices to grow various trees species in Mizoram. The growth and volume data of various species found/ grown in the State are not available. No scientific management of forest resources is possible in absence of scientific data & practices derived after proper research and application. In State like Mizoram which has a diversified vegetational cover and where a massive afforestation programme is going on, forestry research to evolve technologies and practices to increase productivity from forest areas is very small. Therefore the need has been felt to conduct forestry research on various aspects as below:



(i) Tree improvement & development of seeds through seed production areas, seed Orchards, etc.

(ii) Phenological studies of important local tree species.(iii) Maintenance of sample plots, preservation plots, orchid sanctuaries etc.(iv) Standardization of nursery techniques of important indigenous species to be used

for afforestation programmes.(v) Undertaking experimental plantation of new species ( local as well as exotic) to

standardize their silvicultural practice for adoption in our programmes.(vi) Survey of Minor Forest Produce like bamboo, cane, orchids, Medicinal plants,

etc, and their development for better utility.

Present staff strength is 25 Nos. During XIth Five Year Plan, it is proposed to continue with the above research works, with the main objective of increasing productivity on forest lands. The proposed expenditure for the XIth Five Year Plan is Rs 150.00 lakhs and Annual Plan for 2007-2008 is Rs 30.00 lakh.

3. CONSOLIDATION OF FORESTS & WORKING PLAN

For proper scientific management of forests, survey, demarcation, consolidation of forests, collection, compilation & analysis of various data on resources are required to be taken up before management plans for managing forest on scientific lines could be prepared. In absence of proper survey, demarcation and consolidation of reserve, forest encroachments & disputes about land ownership are very common because of which preparing & managing the forest land properly is not possible. The works will include survey, demarcation and consolidation of reserve forest boundaries with pucca boundary pillars, compartment and sub-compartment boundaries, marking of sample plots and preservation plots, their maintenance, enumeration in compartments & sub-compartments, preparing of management/working plan etc.

Proposed outlay during the XIth Plan is Rs 40.00 lakhs and Annual Plan 2007-2008 is Rs 8.00 lakh.

5. COMMUNICATION AND BUILDINGS

The objectives of this scheme are to provide accommodation (both for offices & residences) to officers & staff and construction of approach roads/paths to forest colonies and plantations/forest areas for their access. This also provides for the maintenance of above assets created so far. There are at present 73 ranges/200 Beats/Checkposts which are mostly in the remote forest areas lacking normal civic amenities. It is necessary that appropriate accommodation with proper access to the same is made available to the staff so that they can discharge their functions effectively. Under this scheme, 2 sub-schemes as below are proposed to be taken up during the XIth plan.

COMMUNICATION

Roads/paths are very important for proper management, protection and harvesting of forests in Mizoram. Rugged terrain, steep slopes, fragile geology, preference of Mizo people for habitation on hill ranges through which generally most of roads passes are factors which make accessibility in the forest areas difficult and expensive. Further the long period of insurgency also hampered the development of infrastructure in the past. In absence of roads, cost of harvesting forest produce is quite high and their protection and management also becomes difficult. Therefore under this scheme, it is proposed to construct approach roads/paths to various field offices in


ENVIRONMENT & FORESTremote places, important plantation and natural forest areas to facilitate their protection, management and harvesting including 200 km semi-permanent bamboo extraction link roads. Besides this, existing roads/paths totaling about 110 KM in all will also required to be maintained and improved. The proposed expenditure under the sub-scheme for XIth Five Year Plan is Rs 20.00 lakhs and Annual Plan 2007 – 2008 is Rs 4.00 lakhs.

BUILDINGS

The objectives of this sub-scheme is to make provision for accommodation (both office & residential) to officers & staff. Besides this it will provide for maintenance of existing assets which are about 900 buildings including 51 nos. of Forest Rest Houses. The provision of amenities to staff & labour like drinking water, pit latrines, electrification, etc are also being provided under this scheme. The proposed expenditure under the sub-scheme for XI th Five Year Plan is Rs 64.00 lakhs and Annual Plan for 2007 – 2008 is Rs 13.00 lakhs.

The proposed expenditure under the entire scheme for XIth Five Year Plan is Rs 84.00 lakhs and Annual Plan for 2007 – 2008 is Rs 17.00 lakhs.

5. FOREST CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT (FOREST PROTECTION)Forest is a biological entity and a renewable resource subject to damages from

various factors namely fire, encroachment, illicit cutting/removal of forest produce, faulty land use practices (shifting cultivation).etc. These factors are prevalent in the State with significant extent thereby degrading and depleting the forest resources much to the detriment to its fragile geology, environmental stability and ecological balance ultimately reducing the productivity of land. With the increasing population both human & livestock and demand for wood and other forest produce which is far beyond the sustainable supplies of the shrinking forest cover, protection of forest becoming more challenging. The organisation & staff is not adequately equipped at present and is proposed to be strengthened during the plan period so that they can protect effectively the open forest wealth in the State from such damages.

During the XIth Five Year Plan, it is proposed to have at least one mobile squad to be constituted out of available staff equipped with transport and communication in each circle to check and prevent illegal activities in the forest areas. It is also proposed to equip all division headquarters, important Range headquarters and forest check gates/beat staff with wireless sets so that they can communicate with each other in case of need/emergency arising out of any illegal activity in the forest. Beside this the existing forest checkgates will be strengthened, new checkgates at strategic locations will be established and 1 storage depot for storing harvested/seized forest produce in each Division will be established. Boats and out board motor engines will also be provided wheresoever required. It should be appreciated that open wealth like forests worth crores of rupees will not be safe unless forest protection staffs are well equipped to discharge their duties effectively.

Proposed outlay for XIth Five Year Plan is Rs 820.00 lakhs and Annual Plan for 2007-2008 is Rs 45.00 lakh.

6. AFFORESTATIONThe main objectives of the scheme is to augment the available supply of

fuelwood, timber, non-timber forest produces like canes, fruit, oil seeds, etc. Due to increasing population of both human and livestock demand and pressure on the existing forests for wood and wood products is increasing day by day, which at present is beyond sustainable supplies available from the existing poor forests. As per the Forest Survey of


ENVIRONMENT & FORESTIndia, ‘The State of Forest Report 1995’ the forests in the State have an estimated Woodstock of 35m3 per ha. which is the lowest among the all North-Eastern States. Thus there is considerable potential for increasing the productivity (economic yield) from the degraded forests.

Hence, to augment wood resources by undertaking rehabilitation and regeneration programme over wasteland and degraded areas, a three pronged afforestation programme is proposed for the XIth plan. The following three sub-schemes are proposed to be taken up which would also include bamboo plantation of commercial species :

(i) Regeneration of degraded Forest(ii) Rehabilitation of Jhumlands (iii) Green Mizoram Programme

The proposed outlay during the XIth plan is Rs 100.00 lakhs and Annual Plan for 2007-2008 is Rs. 20.00 lakhs.

7. FOREST UTILIZATIONThe objective of the scheme is to provide for marking, removal/sale of

dead/dying/thinning yields from plantation areas or from areas diverted fro non-forestry purposes (development projects).

National Forest Policy 1988 clearly says that forests should not be looked upon as a source of revenue. They are National asset to be protected and enhanced for the well being of the people and the Nation considering their contribution in maintaining essential ecological processes and life support systems.

There is very limited scope for commercial felling of trees in Mizoram because of very poor stock in its forests. However, bamboos whose stock is sufficient are already being harvested contributing revenue to the state exchequer. The demand of Forest produce is mainly for domestic consumption and will be regulated keeping the Silvicultural consideration in view. However silvicultural thinning’s in old plantation areas is envisaged to be done by the Departmental which will also earn some revenue to the state. If such Silvicultural operations in forest crops are not done timely, it will result in poor growth and value from the final yield from the area.

He has also to be a good public relation man to communicate with common people to educate and make them aware about the importance of preserving, protecting and developing forests and wildlife and their role in caring for the same for maintaining the environmental equilibrium. Therefore training and extension activities assume great significance to protect and develop an open and living wealth like forests.

Besides this, a Mini Zoo at Aizawl and a small Deer Park at Thenzawl are also being maintained.



Chief Wildlife Warden is the overall incharge of the State’s Wildlife assisted by Wildlife Warden in the protected areas and Divisional Forest Officers in the Territorial Divisions.

The importance of conserving wildlife and bio-diversity is increasing all over realizing this, to oversee the management of wildlife in the State, the post of Chief Wildlife Warden in the rank of Conservator of Forests was created during 1994-1995 and its office was created during 1996-1997 without any supporting staff. At present the Wildlife Organisation is inadequate in respect of trained man-power, equipments and facilities. Hence, to manage the protected areas properly in the line of scientific management, Wildlife Wing organizational set up will need strengthening adequately.

The protected areas mentioned above will be maintained and provisions of Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 enforced more seriously in the State. Protection and Development works namely patrol paths, water holes, trace paths, etc. will be further taken up and old one maintained.

Though the field works of NSS State Sample are completed regularly, the data so collected was not analysed and tabulated for severeal rounds due to non availability of adequate material and manpower resources. A wealth of valuable information on various topics is collected through NSS every year and not processing collected data is sheer wastage of resources. The infrastructure at NSS Wing may be strengthened with computer personnel to meet the requirement. The need for NSS Wing in terms of hardware and software requirement and related user-level training requires no emphasis.

A sum of Rs. 48.87 lakhs is proposed during 11th Five Year Plan for maintenance of existing staff and creation of new posts. A sum of Rs. 15.40 lakhs is proposed for continuing schemes during Annual Plan 2007-08.

5. ESTIMATION OF STATE INCOME : Under this Scheme, the department is estimating Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) and Net State Domestic Product (NSDP) of Mizoram as per methodologies given by National Account Division, Central Statistical Organisation (CSO). Besides collecting necessary data from different agencies various baseline surveys are undertaken to arrive at the aggregated data for estimating State Income.

Apart from the on-going surveys, estimation of State Income necessarily involves incorporating of all the newly emerging economic activities which are considered to have significant contribution to the State’s economy. Fresh and new surveys will also have to be conducted to update the data of new activities. Such surveys necessary to provide data for estimating State income is proposed to be continued during the 11th Five Year Plan for which an amount of Rs. 5.00 lakhs is provided.

Although estimation of State Domestic product is an important indicator of economic growth highlighting the performance of 13 sectors of the economy every year it is sad to mention that no separate post have been created till today under this scheme. It is therefore porpose to create one post of Research Officer two post of Inspector of Statistics and one post of Sub-Inspector of Statistics to be continously engaged under this scheme. The financial implication is Rs. 5.00 lakhs during the 11th Five Year Plan. A sum of Rs. 2.00 lakhs is proposed for survey during Annual Plan 2007-08.

6. DATA BANK : This Department being the apex body in the state statistical system and the nodal agency for collecting various types of data the role of the Department in terms of keeping a series of data, disseminating and bridging data gaps have increase tremendously.

This department has been involved in various surveys and census, and collects different types of data even from the village level through statistical agencies available at every Rural Development Block Headquarters. However till doday, there is no efficient system and procedure by which these data are maintained with proper record.

Statistical data is a vital input for decission making and timely availability of Statistics is the essence of efficiency in the State Statistical System. Hence, to provide easy and timely of statistical data to the administrators, enonomist and other users it is proposed to set up a comprehensive data bank / database at the Directorate Office and extended to district office in due course. Under this scheme different types of data or official statistics will be maintained, necessary surveys and censuses will be conducted to fill the data gaps.



A sum of Rs. 14.00 lakhs is proposed during Five Year Plan 2007-12 and Rs. 2.00 lakhs is proposed for conducting surveys and Census during Annual Plan 2007-08.

7. PUBLICATION : The Department being non-developmental department, publication is the major indicator of achievement. Owing to limited fund under Publication head, only few publications are brought out in a limited copy. The following

CHAKMA AUTONOMOUS DISTRICT COUNCIL


BRIEF INTRODUCTION OF CHAKMA AUTONOMOUS DISTRICT COUNCIL: The Chakma Autonomous District Council was created in 1972 comprising of a portion of Chakma inhabited areas of the erstwhile PL-Regional Council. It has an area of 1500 sq. Kms (approx.) with a population of 34528 souls, as per 2001 census. The literacy rate of the area is 57% against the states literacy 88 %.

The Chakma Community is a civilized community of Indian origin having a long historical background and rich cultural heritage. They are honest, hardworking, peace loving and unpretentious.

The topography and the quality of soil of the area is suitable for wet-rice cultivation and other cash-crops like oil-seeds, gingers, chilies, sesamum, turmeric, black pepper, jatropa and various other horticultural plants. The area is also endowed with numerious water bodies which is considered highly potential for Fisciculture. Inspite of such high potentiality and Conducive conditions the area remained tragically backward till date as road communication facilities is still not built up and hardly any well-planned schemes/projects has so far been implemented in the area. Amidst such innumerable inconveniences, considering the pitiable condition of the people, the Chakma Autonomous District Council has been striving hard to bring about a change in the lots of its people.

1. Estimate of resources for the 11 th Five Year Plan: It is indeed true that in every planning the most vital factor is pre-estimation of the available resources. In making planning for development of Chakma Autonomous District Council area for any given period the main hindrance for the Council is very limited resource of its own as so far hardly any infrastructure has been built up in the area for resource mobilization. Hence, the Council is still dependent on financial support in the form of grant-in-aid. It is equally true that once the infrastructure such as, Road Communication, Land development, Irrigation, Forestry, Horticulture, Pisciculture, Food processing and other Small Scale Industries, proper Survey of land and introduction of Border Trades, etc are well developed, there will not be any dearth of Council’s own resource. Whatsoever the limited resource of the Council may be, it is estimated that during the whole 11th Five Year Plan period, the Council will be able to generate a sum of Rs. 1,50,00,000/- as its own resource/Revenue. The rest fund is to be made available in the form of grant-in-aid.

Autonomous District Council could complete the following infrastructures which is considered for transfer under Non-Plan sector. Those are Chakma Autonomous District Council Guest House at Kamalanagar, (2) Chakma House at Aizawl, (3) Bazar Building at Kamalanagar, (4) Schools buildings, (5) ARO Office at Barapansury and Longpuighat, (6) Teachers Inn at Kamalanagar and (7) Children Park at Kamalanagar.

2. Prioritization of resources : As stated in the introductory note, the most abundant and valuable resource of the Council is development of its land, for cultivation of food stuff and other cash crops, creation of forest in the de-graded land, development of human resources by providing quality education, skill improvement , and opening of scopesfor the youths in the field of sports and other Youth Welfare programmes,social welfare and women welfare. It is note- worthy for implementing such development programmes, building of infrastructures like office building, quarters, procurement of necessary equipments and accessories, and above all creation of road connectivity is a must.



3. Integration into global economy & power to private enterprises:

To cope up with the trends of globalization of economy and also more power to private enterprises, development of road connectivity in the area should be considered as a top agenda. At the same time, there should be concentrated effort for successful implementation of programmes for increasing production of agro-based produces and their value edition. At the same time necessary measures should be taken by introduction of Border Trade with the neighboring countries, which will certainly open scope for private enterprenures.

5. Grassroots level Planning : The Autonomous District Council itself is a grass root level Local body. So this 11th 5 year Plan, 2007-2012, if approved in to to shall address the very vision of the constitution as endowed in the 73rd and 74th amendments. However, to ensure addressing the very vision the Village Councils of the area are also involved in preparation of this 5 year Plan.

6. Welfare of the SC’s & ST’s : It is a matter of great satisfaction that the Planning Commission of India has given much stress for the Welfare of SC’s & ST’s. The Tribal Sub-Plan for the ST’s had always been appreciated and fruitful. During 70s it was known to all that there exist a Tribal Sub-Plan which meant solely for the undivided Chhimtuipui District in the State of Mizoram. But it is unfortunate that during early 80s the Tribal Sub-Plan in the state was stopped for reason not known to us. The State of Mizoram although almost 100% ST state but the micro-minority ST’s who are mainly concentrated in the three ADC areas and along the Indo-Bangla Border of Lunglei and Mammit Districts, are still legging far behind from the majority Scheduled Tribes of the Mizos. This was proved beyond doubts from the 2001 Census report where the Lawngtlai District and the Saiha Districts was declared the most backward Districts in the State. For the very reason a Special Development scheme under the banner of RSVY is launched in Lawngtlai District and National Food for work Programme was launched in Saiha District.

The guidelines for the formulation of 11th 5 Year Plan which gave stress for the Welfare of Scheduled Tribes in the way of introducing Tribal Sub-Plan is really heartening for the people of the Chakma Autonomous District Council area and it brought a ray of hopes towards our aspirations to get developed at par with the mainstream population of Mizoram.

In our endeavor for the repaid development of the area during the 11th Five year Plan priority is given to Road, communication infrastructure, building and development of Human Resources, Agriculture, Rural Development, Forest, Water supply and other development Schemes are also in corporated on preference.

The Sector wise allocation on priority basis for the 11th Five Year Plan 2007-2012 and Draft Annual Plan 2007-2008 is as under: -

SCHOOL EDUCATION

SCHOOL EDUCATION

During the 10th Five Year Plan the Department had undergone a lot of financial hardships due to severe fund constraints faced by the state Government. However, for the coming 11th Five Year Plan, the Department looked forward with great hope that sufficient funds may be allocated to the department for smooth functioning.

Programmes to be continued under 11th Five Year Plan :

1. Sarva Shiksha Abiyan (SSA) :- SSA was launched during early 10th Plan Period in which the pattern of State Share was 75:25. In the coming five year Plan the share is likely to be in the ratio of 50:50 for which adequate fund is to be provided for successful implementation in the State.

Continuing Education :- A Continuing Education Scheme meant for post literacy under Adult Education was implemented with Central Assistance under C.S.S during late 9th Five Year Plan, carried over in the 10th Five Year Plan is to be taken over by State Government from 11th Plan. Therefore, fund for the purpose may be allocated.

At the same time, a massive Special Literacy Drive towards Western Belt of the State bordering Bangladesh launched in the name of “Eradication of Residual Illiteracy Project” (ERIP) needs to be continued for which additional fund will be required.

3. Vocationalisation of Secondary Education :- In order to enhance employability to the youths and promote job opportunity skill oriented Vocational Education was introduced with Central Assistance. This scheme needs to be continued with adequate provision of funds.

4. Absorption of C.S.S to State Sector :- There are a good number of incumbents employed under Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS). These employees will be needed to be carried over to new Five Year Plan, to be absorbed as State liabilities.

5. Development in Infrastructure :- It is understood that the Department is having no fund to bridge the urgently needed infrastructural gaps especially for Secondary and Higher Secondary Schools for which at least a certain amount if not adequate be provided.

New Schemes proposed during 11th Five Year Plan :-

1) Establishment of Sainik School :- The Department intends to establish a new Sainik School in the state as was already done by neighboring States, so as to pave ways for youngsters for easier entrance in the field of defence corridors. Land is readily available at Chhingchhip. A Detail Project Report (DPR) amounting Rs. 70.00 Crores for infrastructural development had been prepared.

2) Establishment of Schools under need based such as Service Oriented Schools, Technical Oriented School and Establishment of Physical Training Centre for the Department is felt imperative for which a huge amount of funds will be required.


SCHOOL EDUCATION

Draft Annual Plan 2007 – 2008 :-

The main thrust of the Department during the Annual Plan 2007-2008 will be qualitative progress within and outside education system as well as capacity buildings. Therefore, the programmes are set to achieve this goal as far as possible.

Due to inadequacy of fund in the past, proper training could not be imparted to teachers particularly in secondary and above. It is observed that this affects the efficiency as well as quality development. Therefore, it is decided to provide adequate fund for the purpose so as to train the teachers to enhance their growth towards quality education. This will in turn require engagement of substitute teachers for those who underwent training.

Despite the fund received from DoNER Ministry for construction of a number of school buildings, the condition of many school buildings which are out of touch by the DoNER Ministry is far from satisfactory as the buildings are too old, crumpled and dilapidated. Therefore, these schools are proposed to be constructed during this Annual Plan in a phase manner.

The new perspective will be in favour of preparing students for self employment and an organised sector of work force. It is expected to meet the sub-professional need of various professions at secondary levels and above.

The proposed amount to be allocated to the department for the coming 11th Five Year Plan 2007-12 and Annual Plan 2007-08 is as below :-

SECTORAL APPROACH TO ELEVENTH FIVE YEAR PLAN 2007-2012 AND ANNUAL PLAN 2007-2008 IN RESPECT OF MEDICAL & PUBLIC HEALTH

INTRODUCTION

Mizoram is a far flung area of the country with limited access to the rest of the country. It is sandwiched between Myanmar in the east and Bangladesh in the west. Its population growth is one of the most favourable in India though there is lots of influx of population from the east and west across the borders. The primary health care facilities in the State are fairly good and it may be one of the best in the country, but it still need lots of improvement.

APPROACHHealth is a fundamental and integral part of productive life,

development, quality of life and a major social investment. It is inter-sectoral and involves individuals, families, communities, states and nation. It is a wide world social goal.

With increasing of population, bad communications, infrastructure requirements, the existing health care facilities in the State are not adequate to meet the health care of the people especially to rural areas. Moreover, patients who require surgical intervention, whether it is general surgery, gynae and obstetric, surgery, eye, ENT including emergency life saving operation are sent mostly to Civil Hospital, Aizawl the State Capital at a great distance from many villages in the interior. Therefore, to provide health care facilities improvement of primary health care is imperative. At present there are 351 Sub-Centres, 57 PHCs and 9 CHCs in the State of Mizoram. Out of this only 11 PHCs and 6 CHCs the basic requirement like X-Ray machine can be provided from the State Plan Budget. However, the minimum requirement is proposed during 11th Five Year Plan to function all the institutions as a full fledge institutions.

MAIN HINDRANCES/DEFICIENCIES :

As nearly 65% of the Annual Plan Budget has to spent for salaries; procurement of equipments which is the minimal requirement for functioning of PHCs and CHCs could not be done from the State Plan Budget. This created a lots of problem to the people in rural areas as they have to travel a great distances from their early diagnoses.

Over and above, it may be reiterated that most of the staff quarters and institutional building are voluntarily constructed by the villages ten year back, there is hardly provision for reconstruction and renovation even for repairs. Thus, the Department is really handicapped in providing fund even on emergency.

PROPOSALTo provide the minimal requirement of the State in Health Care the

following proposal amounting Rs. 22,333.00 lakhs during 11th Five Year Plan and Rs. 2665.00 lakhs in the Annual Plan 2007 – 08.

HOSPITAL & MEDICAL EDUCATION (HEALTH)

HOSPITAL & MEDICAL EDUCATIONIntroduction

Recently Government of Mizoram has approved bifurcation of Health & Family Welfare into two Directorate viz. Hospital & Medical Education and Health Services where all the district Hospitals including T.B. Hospital, College of Nursing and School of Nursing are placed under the purview of Directorate of Hospital & Medical Education. A separate budget is provided for the two Directorates.

Approach

Health is a fundamental and integral part of productive life, development, quality of life and a major social investment. It is inter-sectoral and involves individual, families, communities, state and nation. It is world wide social goal.

As Directorate of Hospital & Medical Education is a newly bifurcated establishment, it requires a lot of infrastructures in providing quarters to all the staff working in the District Hospitals. However, to facilitate the Hospitals into a full fledged Hospital, adequate supply of equipment and machinery is essential to provide Health Care to the patients who required surgical intervention, whether it is general surgery, gynaecological surgery, eye, ENT including emergency life saving operation. Therefore, to improve the Health Care facilities in all the District Hospitals such as Civil Hospital Lunglei, Saiha, Kolasib, Champhai, Serchhip, Mamit and Lawngtlai, sufficient provision is ear marked during 11th Five Year Plan 2007-2012 as well as Annual Plan 2007-2008 for procurement of Hospital equipments, medicines and creation of various disciplines of new posts so as to avoid many patients who were referred outside the State for treatment as the Government incurred financial loss for their medical treatment outside the State.

Moreover, on the basis of the inspection conducted by the Indian Nursing Council, the existing School of Nursing is permitted for B.Sc. Nursing Programme with intake of 30 seats where the Government of Mizoram has also approved the proposal for upgrading the existing School of Nursing into College of Nursing. Therefore, with a view to establish a full fledged College of Nursing, certain posts are proposed during 11th Five Year Plan 2007-2012 for engagement of qualified teachers in a new established College of Nursing.

Therefore, to function this new established Directorate, it is expected to provide adequate fund during 11th Five Year Plan 2007-2012 so that functioning of all District Hospitals will be effective.

WATER SUPPLY & SANITATION

WATER SUPPLY & SANITATION (PHE)Introduction:

The Public Health Engineering Department is dealing with Water Supply and Sanitation in Rural and Urban areas. During the 10th Five Year Plan, the main activities of PHE Department were in the Water Supply sector with very limited activities in Sanitation Sector. The outlay of 10th Five Year Plan under State Plan was Rs. 12,333.00 lakh out of which Rs. 7,772.00 lakh was for Rural Sector, Rs. 3,373.00 lakh for Urban Sector and Rs. 1,188.00 lakh for Other Sector. In the meantime, the outlay under CSS was Rs. 40,940.00 lakh out of which Rs. 8,840.00 lakh was for Rural Sector; Rs.32,000.00 lakh was for Urban Sector.

In the Rural Sector the Govt. of India has launched new initiatives called BHARAT NIRMAN PROGRAMME in which all the Non-Covered (NC) and Partially Covered (PC) habitations are to be provided with Water Supply fully by the year 2008-09. Provision of Low Cost Sanitation facilities in rural areas as per TOTAL SANITATION CAMPAIGN PROGRAMME launched by Government of India is also one of the major components.

In respect of Urban Sector, Urban Water Supply, Sewerages and Sanitation and Solid Waste Management are the main components, which will be implemented under various newly introduced Programmes like Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission(JNNURM), Urban Infrastructure Development Scheme for Small and Medium Towns(UIDSSMT), Non-Lapsable Central Pool Resources(NLCPR) etc.

Over and above, it is also aimed at strengthening the existing infrastructure of Public Health Engineering Department by creation of some new key establishments.

Operation and Maintenance of Urban Water Supply is one of the formidable task and fund-consuming programme. Public Health Engineering Department has to invest about Rs 36.00 crore per annum for this purpose. During the 11th Five Year Plan period, feasibility study for Public Private Partnership (PPP) or Privatisation on O&M shall be conducted and attempt shall be made to enter into PPP in some of our Urban Water Supply Maintenance.

With all these aim in view, 11th Five Year Plan is formulated on Need-Based with due consideration on the volume of work that the Department will be able to handle within a span of Five Years time. The total proposed outlay for the 11th Five Year Plan is therefore, Rs 38,046.00 lakh under State Sector.

The Annual Plan 2007-2008 is also incorporated in the 11th Five Year Plan. The anticipated expenditure during 2006-2007 under PHE Department is Rs. 7219.00 lakh. The proposed outlay of the Department for Annual Plan 2007-08 is Rs. 9997.00 lakhs.



A. RURAL SECTOR:

1. Rural Water Supply:a) Water Supply: Rural Water Supply comes under Bharat Nirman

Programme launched by Government of India. As per the Bharat Nirman Programme, all the Non-Covered (NC) and Partially Covered (PC) habitations as per 2003 Habitation Survey are proposed to be put under Fully Covered (FC) status by the year 2008-2009. The status of Rural Water Supply as per 2003 Habitation Survey pertaining to Mizoram is as shown in the Table given below :

NC PC FC Total297 430 159 886

Public Health Engineering Department prepared Action Plan as per the requirement of the Bharat Nirman Programme in which the fund requirement for coverage of Partially Covered and Non-Covered Habitations during 11th Five Year Plan period worked out to be Rs. 43,700.00 lakh. In the current funding pattern of Rural Water Supply, the Government of India contribution is 50% under ARWSP and 20% of ARWSP allocation for Swajaldhara Scheme, which is also funded by Government of India. The State Government has to provide equal amount of ARWSP allocation as a matching share.

However, the State Government will not be able to achieve the Bharat Nirman Action Plan unless the funding pattern is revised to 25:75 between State Government & Central Government for which proposal have been initiated from North East States and Others hilly States of India.

Note : Swajaldhara is a reform initiative formulated by Government of India where emphasis is made for public involvement in selection, planning and design, implementation and partial capital cost contribution by villagers. Presently 90% of the capital cost is provided by Government of India and 10% by Villagers in cash/kind/labour.

b) Water Quality Monitoring and Surveillance: Water Quality Monitoring and Surveillance is of the support services under Rajiv Gandhi National Drinking Water Mission (RGNDWM). The National Workshop held on 7-9 August, 1999 on Water Quality Monitoring and Surveillance had recommended institutionalisation of Drinking Water Quality and Surveillance System in the country a catchment area approach which will be adopted by involving various grass root level, Educational and Technical institutions. Under this scheme, training on the use of Field Testing Kit will be given to the villagers and some educational and technical institutions so that the public themselves will be able to test their water quality. A three-tier structure of laboratory facilities namely Level-I (Village Level), Level-II (District Level) and Level-III (State Level) will be set-up.

For implementation of this Programme, the Department has prepared Project Report amounting to Rs.398.00 lakh and Government of India had allocated an amount of Rs. 73.40 lakh during 2006-07. Fund needs to be provided from the State Plan for upgrading the existing State Laboratory into State Referral Institute which will serve as the training centre apart from water testing activities.



c) Sustainability and Development of Catchments Area: Most of the water supply sources yields very low discharge due to the geographical as well as geological conditions. In order to make our water sources sustainable, sustainability measures by way of recharging water sources by construction of Water retaining structures or catchments area development has become one of the most important activities due to which Government of India also included this programme under Sub-mission. Programme.

d) Operation and Maintenance: In respect of maintenance of rural water supply, attempt is being made for entrusting the Operation and Maintenance activities to the Community. However, it is still practically not possible to entrust 100% Operation and Maintenance activities to the community due to various reasons like 1) Problem in raising O&M fund 2) Lack of capable and technically qualified man–power. 3) Lack of effective institutionalisation for effective O&M activities etc. The Public Health Engineering Department therefore has to take active role in maintenance of water supply asset by way of procurement of spare parts, arrangement of skill personnel etc. The Department has therefore, to invest huge amount of fund towards Operation and Maintenance.

Usually, 15% of ARWSP fund released by Government of India is utilised for O&M of Rural Water Supply which amounts to approximately Rs 200 lakh per year.

e) Communication and Capacity Development through IEC activities: Awareness creation among the masses on the impact of save drinking water supply and save sanitation practices has become one of the priority sectors for successful implementation of water supply and sanitation programme. In many cases water supply and sanitation facilities are being provided but the consumers do not appreciate and not utilise properly making the ultimate goal not fulfilled. It is therefore, felt necessary that the public should be first educated to accept and recognised the importance of having potable drinking water and safe sanitation practices for up-liftment of their general health.

With this in view, a small cell called ‘Communication and Capacity Development Unit’ in PHE Department was created under the assistance of Govt of India where 100 % financial assistance will be provided for Three years, i.e 2006-07 to 2008-09 beyond which the expenditure will be shared between Central and State at 75 : 25 respectively.

B. Rural Sanitation Programme (Total Sanitation Campaign):

1. Construction of Sanitary Unit in Educational institutions and providing incentive to BPL families including Mass Awareness Campaign: Under Rural Sanitation Programme, the Government of India had launched a reform initiative called Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC) in which public involvement is the main theme.

Detailed Project Report of Total Sanitation Campaign in all eight Districts in Mizoram has been approved and implementation is in good progress. However, the Project will be spilled over to 11th Plan period. Moreover, due to the revision to Unit Cost of sanitary latrine and inclusion of Solid and Liquid waste

management under the scope of the programme, the Project needs to be revised. The total Project cost is to be shared between Government of India, State Government and beneficiaries.



2. URBAN SECTOR1) Urban Water Supply: There are 1 City and 21 Census Towns in Mizoram.

Lawngtlai, the Capital of Lawngtlai District, having a population of 14600 souls as per 2001 census, which is not yet declared as Census Town by Census of India, is considered as Town by PHE Department resulting in the Number of towns to become 23 Towns as per PHE Department’s record.

Mizoram is still having long way ahead in achieving the National Norm of Water Supply Level in Urban Water Supply Programme. Detail status of Urban Water Supply in Mizoram is as shown below:

During the 11th Five Year Plan, all the On-going/Spilled over Projects will be completed and all partially covered and non-covered towns will also be put under fully covered with Water Supply from various Programmes of Urban Development Ministry, Government of India.

a) On-going Projects:(i) Greater Aizawl Water Supply Scheme Phase-II: The Greater Aizawl Water

Supply Scheme Phase-II with a revised Project cost of Rs.113.47 crore is in progress. From the whole Project, prioritised item amounting to Rs.96.08 crore only will be taken up at present. Government of India, Ministry of DoNER will provide Rs.69.12 crore out of which Rs.58.00 crore had so far been released leaving a balance of Rs.11.12 crore yet to be released. The total State Government contribution is Rs.18.98 crore out of which Rs. 17.95 crore had so far been released leaving a balance of Rs.1.03 crore yet to be released.

ii) Greater Champhai Water Supply Scheme: The Greater Champhai Water Supply Scheme with an estimated cost of Rs.30.00 crore was submitted to Government of India. However, the Project got finally, without technical justification, approved at 13.71 crore which would be funded from NLCPR. The Project is in progress and the Government of India, through Ministry of DoNER funded Rs.13.53 crore which has been fully released. As the approved Project cost is not able to complete the full project, The State Government released Rs.2.00 crore and the project has been commissioned with Raw Water in December 2006

As all the distribution systems are yet to be implemented, separate Project Report needs to be prepared and got approved as Phase-II Project which will be roughly Rs.7.00 crore. An amount of Rs 6.30 crore is provided under Central Sector and Rs 0.70 crore is provided under State sector

2) New Projects:During the 11th Five Year Plan period all the remaining non-covered and partially

covered towns will be covered under various Government of India Programme like JNNURM, UDISSMT, NLCPR etc. The followings are the towns to be covered during 11th Five Year Plan.

Non-Covered Partially Covered1) Khawhai 1) Saitual2) Biate 2) Zawlnuam3) N.Vanlaiphai 3) Bairabi

4) Khawzawl5) Tlabung6) Hnahthial7) Saiha8) Lawngtlai9) Thenzawl

A combined Project covering the above non-covered towns viz., Khawhai, Biate and N.Vanlaiphai has been surveyed and the Detail Project Report is under preparation. The total Project cost will be roughly Rs.40.00 crore. Considering the funding pattern under JNNURM, UIDSSMT etc. where the cost sharing is usually 90:10 between Government of India – State Government. A sum of Rs.36.00 crore is provided under Central Sector and Rs. 4.00 crore under State Sector in the 11th Five Year Plan.



Regarding the above, 9 Nos. of partially covered towns rough survey and investigations have been carried out in 8 towns excluding Lawngtlai for which Detailed Project Report amounting to Rs.38.86 crore have already been submitted to DoNER, Government of India. Detail Survey and preparation of Detail Project Report in 8 towns are yet to be done. The approximate fund requirement for water supply to these 9 town will be roughly Rs.108.72 crore.

Besides these, Improvement and up-gradation of existing Aizawl Water Supply Scheme Phase – I is very much required. The Scheme was commissioned in the year 1988 with the designed capacity of 10.2 mld. The Pumping Machineries are all out-lived and require replacement, and even the distribution system requires extension as the Aizawl City itself has now spread over a large areas. As this Aizawl Water Supply Scheme Phase – I shall also run simultaneously even after commissioning of Aizawl Water Supply Scheme PH – II, Detail Project Report for improvement amounting to Rs 48.28 crore was prepared. It is now under consideration.

In addition, 4 Nos. of fully covered towns i.e Serchhip, Lunglei, Darlawn and Sairang up gradation / renovation/improvement of the existing water supply scheme i.e distribution system, pumping machineries, water sources etc are necessary and a token provision is made during 11th Five Year Plan under State Plan.

b) Operation and Maintenance:- Mizoram is wholly mountainous region with almost all towns and cities situated on the top and hill slopes. As such, the entire major water supply scheme is of pumping scheme with very high static head. As power supply is not usually not very reliable most of our pumping schemes are operated with Diesel Engines. Due to the above reason the O&M cost in Mizoram is comparably high as compared to O&M cost in plain areas. Presently the annual O&M fund requirement for maintenance of urban water supply scheme including wages and salaries, fuel cost, repair of machineries etc. is Rs. 30.00 crore. The no. Of pumping scheme is growing further due to commissioning of new projects, which result in increase in O&M fund requirement.

In order to make the urban water supply scheme self sustainable or at least reduce the O&M cost feasibility study for privatisation/public private partnership (PPP) is being under process within the Department. However, due to limitation of financial expert and legal experts concrete decision could not yet be made.

In order to sort out this problem the Department require the assistance of Planning Commission, Government of India to provide legal and financial expert in our feasibility study.

B. URBAN SANITATION :

1. Sewerage and Sanitation:- There are no Sewerage facilities in all the Cities and Towns of Mizoram. City Development Plan of Rs. 225.00 crore for Sewerage Scheme in Aizawl City was prepared recently to be implemented under JNNURM during 11th Five Year Plan period.

It is also proposed to implement Sewerage System at Lunglei Town, which is 2nd Capital of Mizoram. Detail survey and investigation and preparation of Detailed Project Report are yet to be done as such a token provision under Central Sector and under State Sector are provided during 11th Plan.



2. Storm Drainage and Land-slip Protection:- Mizoram has heavy rainfall with an average annual rainfall of 2500 mm which is mainly distributed during May to August. Due to this intense rainfall compounded with steep hill slope and loose topsoil, natural disaster due to landslide frequently occurs during monsoon period. Strom water management and land-slip protection is one of the vital projects for Mizoram. City Development Plan on Storm Water Drainage and landslip protection for an amount of Rs. 17,500 lakh have been prepared for Aizawl City which will be funded under JNNURM during 11th Five Year Plan in which 90% shall be the Government of India share and and 10% will be raised by State Government.

During the 11th Plan period Storm Water Drainage and Landslip Protection will also be taken up in other 7 Districts Headquarters viz. Lunglei, Lawngtlai, Saiha, Serchhip, Champhai, Kolasib and Mamit.

3. Solid Waste Management: There is no systematic Solid Waste Management System in all the city and towns of Mizoram, the present practice now adopted for Aizawl City is only shifting of Solid Waste without any safe or scientific disposal system.

A City Development Plan on Solid Waste Management for Aizawl City was formulated at an estimated cost of Rs. 65.00 crore to be taken up under JNNURM during 11th Five Year Plan period.

It is also proposed to implement Solid Waste Management System in other 7 District Headquarters viz. Lunglei, Lawngtlai, Saiha, Serchhip, Champhai, Kolasib and Mamit for which detail project report are yet be prepared.

C. OTHER SECTOR:Direction and Administration:

Presently, the Department is headed by Chief Engineer, who is assisted by one Additional Chief Engineer and one Superintending Engineer (Monitoring). There are four Working Circle and thirteen Divisions. To cope up with the ever increasing work loads due to rapid growth of population and increased in the demand, the Department is badly in need of strengthening and up gradation.

Monitoring and Investigation Units: – For effective Planning, Monitoring, Investigation and implementation of Projects,

accurate survey and investigation is a must especially in water supply works. For achieving accurate results of investigation, scientific source finding techniques has to be deployed using sophisticated instruments for studying and investigation of rainfall characteristics, soil structures, ground water potential etc. Even with the availability of accurate results of investigation, effective planning and implementation of any project largely depends on the quality of monitoring. Realising this aspects, Government of India insisted upon creation of Monitoring and Investigation unit in Public Health Engineering Department.

Training :- Technology is developing very fast due to which Engineers and Scientist have to continuously update their technical knowledge to keep themselves abreast of new development.



Researched & Development: Fund for Research and Development is provided to the State by the Rajiv Gandhi National Drinking Water Mission in order to give support to the programmes implemented under ARWSP . The policy guidelines on Research and Development for Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Sector focussed on priority areas which are-i) Water sources exploration, assessment and exploitation related technology

development.ii) Technology Development for improvement in water extraction techniques.iii) Water scarcity reduction and related technology Development.iv) Technology for water quality enhancement for rural areas.v) Watershed management to optimise drinking water supply.vi) Water Health interaction in the socio economic cultural setupvii) Development of approximate rural sanitation technology.

BRIEF DISCRIPTION OF THE SCHEME

1. LOW INCOME GROUP HOUSING:During the 10th five year plan many household were given LIGH loan at the rate of 0.50 lakhs. This is an important scheme for developing dwelling houses in urban centre and is proposed to be continued in the 11th plan at the same rate. Each and every annual plan target has to be taken up as new items while the scheme itself is a continuing one. The 11th five year plan scheme is to grant LIGH to 920 household each at the rate of Rs. 50,000/- within an outlay of Rs 460.00 lacs and the annual plan 2007 - 2008 is to benefit 140 household within an outlay of Rs 70.00 lakhs, as shown below.

2007-2008 Rs. 70.00 lakhs for 140 household2008-2009 Rs. 80.00 lakhs for 160 household2009-2010 Rs. 90.00 lakhs for 180 household2010-2011 Rs. 100.00 lakhs for 200 household2011-2012 Rs. 120.00 lakhs for 240 household TOTAL Rs. 460.00 lakhs for 920 household

2. MIDDLE INCOME GROUP HOUSING:The 11th five year Plan scheme is to benefit 862 household at the rate of Rs 80,000/- per household within an outlay of Rs 690.00 lakhs and the target of the Annual Plan 2007 - 2008 is to benefit 125 household within Rs 100.00 lakhs as follows:

2007-2008 Rs. 100.00 lakhs for 125 household2008-2009 Rs. 120.00 lakhs for 150 household2009-2010 Rs. 128.00 lakhs for 160 household2010-2011 Rs. 144.00 lakhs for 180 household2011-2012 Rs. 198.00 lakhs for 247 household TOTAL Rs. 690.00 lakhs for 862 household

3. COMPOSITE CASH LOAN (HBA) TO GOVT. EMPLOYEES:During the 10th Plan Rs 15062.00 lakhs was utilised for giving loans to 10829 government employees in the form of HBA for house Construction under this composite cash loan scheme. Loan recoveries and interest payments are affected from pay bills through treasuries. The scheme has been formed to be very beneficial and fruitful and a proposal is made to continue the scheme during the 11th plan 2007 - 2012 as under.

2007-2008 Rs. 3100.00 lakhs for 2583 2008-2009 Rs. 3200.00 lakhs for 2666 2009-2010 Rs. 3400.00 lakhs for 2833 2010-2011 Rs. 4020.00 lakhs for 3350 2011-2012 Rs. 4415.00 lakhs for 3679 TOTAL Rs. 18135.00 lakhs for 15111

4. SITE AND SERVICES:The scheme is meant for developing House Site in the expanding portions of the towns by constructing initial link road and house site plan at a nominal rate of Rs. 1000/- per house. It is proposed to allocate fund amounting to Rs 67.00 lakhs for 12400-house site during the 11th five year plan.


HOUSING (LAD)

5. LAND AQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT:It becomes imperative to develop lands for human settlement in the towns and sub towns with a view to checking further mass migration and reduce the growth rate of urbanisation in the state capital i.e. Aizawl. The programme is mainly for land development to make plan for house site, roads, steps as well as for direct land acquisition. So as to make land available for infrastructure development in Aizawl, Lunglei, Champhai, Kolasib, Mamit and Serchhip. Rs 1250.00 lakhs is proposed for developing 625 hectares of land during the 11th five year plan .

6. IMPROVEMENT OF CEMETERYThis is a new scheme to be introduced during the 11th plan period. The system of burial is the tradition of Mizo people permanently. So every locality had their own cemetery separately or shared one cemetery by two/three localities. Construction for improvement of existing cemeteries like terracing, tree planting, fencing etc. is very important programme. Besides, dispute cases on sharing of cemetery between the localities always occurred.

POLICE HOUSING

The Eleventh Five Year Plan 2007 – 2012 : Police Department, Mizoram.

Introduction :

1. It may be mentioned that no proper sources of financial aid except Police Housing Plan existed for construction of Residential & Administrative buildings of Mizoram Police. Under Plan (Police Housing) a small amount of fund approximately amounting to Rs. 401.00 lakhs had yearly been provided for the last 10 Five Year Plans. Prior to this, lesser amount of fund far below the above mentioned fund had been provided. With the help of the above said grants, residential & administrative buildings had been constructed for upgradation of Mizoram Police Housing.

2. It may further be stated that the Govt. of India, Ministry of Home Affairs, Bureau of Police Research & Development (BPR&D) had fixed the target of satisfaction level for providing of residential accommodation to Police all over India as follows :-

Target1. Lower subordinate level 60% of total strength2. Upper subordinate level 70% of total strength3. Supervisory level 100% of total strength

3. It is regretted to mention that the total residential quarters provided so far to

Mizoram Police as on 1.8.2006 is very less in comparison with the prescribed scale of

BPR&D as indicated below :-

Detail Satisfaction level Present Position

Shortfall

Lower subordinate level 70% 15.75% 54.25%Upper subordinate level 60% 17.68% 42.32%Supervisory level 100% 43.35% 56.65%

4. Since the total residential accommodation so far provided is far below the prescribed satisfaction level of Govt. of India, it is proposed to take up construction of more residential buildings during the next 11th Five Year Plan. Some of the administrative buildings such as office buildings and buildings for Police Stations and Out Posts are also in need of new construction.

The Draft 11th Five Year Plan 2007-12 and the Annual Plan 2007-08 is formulated in such away as to achieve the prescribed satisfaction level by proposing an outlay of Rs. 1078.00 lakhs and Rs. 600.00 lakhs respectively.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SCHEME

As the Department (Urban Development & Poverty Alleviation) was created by the Government of Mizoram during the last part of 2006 – 2007. Hence there was no actual expenditure for the last five years plan i.e. 10th. Plan. Then, the preparation of 11 th. Five years plan cannot be based on the previous five years plan as well as the annual plan for the year 2007 – 2008 has no base and merely proposed as per the present requirement.

There are 22 census towns in Mizoram which are likely to be felt under the umbrella of Urban Development & Poverty Alleviation Department, and most of the proposed schemes below other than MATCHING SHARE OF SJSRY and MATCHING SHARE OF JN-NURM will dealt with those urban areas.


URBAN DEV & POVERTY ALLEVIATION

1. CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE OF LINK ROAD WITHIN URBAN AREA:

This is proposed as a new item. The scheme is to be utilised for construction as well as maintenance of link roads within urban area including approach to Departmental land like, Garbage Dumping Ground, Solid Waste Management Centre, Site offices, District offices and staff quarters. Rs. 70.00 is proposed for construction of 70 kilometres of roads during the 11th five year plan.

2. CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE OF PARKS AND RECREATION CENTRE WITHIN URBAN AREA:

Aizawl city and other district headquarters had their own respective local parks under the maintenance of concerned NGO at their locality without financial assistance from the Government. It is, therefore, proposed to promote such parks as far as possible by giving financial helps as and where necessary. Also every wards (locality) within urban area needs some recreation places like small playfield, children play station etc. Such recreational places may be required to construct in new or to maintain the existing one. Hence, Rs 45.00 lakhs is proposed during the whole period of 11th five plans for this Scheme. It is to be applied the Public Private Partnership (PPP) method in this scheme, as such the requirement had also decrease in year by year. 3

3. CONSTRUCTION OF STEPS, RETAINING WALL, FOOTPATH and fly over WITHIN URBAN AREA :

City and towns in Mizoram are situated on spur of Hills which steep down to the gorges of stream below / between the spurs. Roads and residential line go on the spurs in horizontal lines. It is required to construct Steps and Footpath for vertical link between the adjacent rows like staircases in multi-storied buildings. As the inhabitant areas are spur hills, construction of Retaining wall is badly required to prevent some disaster like landslide etc. as the landslide is phenomenon especially during the rainy season as it is known that the Mizoram lies in the Monsoon region. So it is proposed to earmark Rs 47.00 lakhs for construction during the 11th five year plan

4. URBAN TRANSPORT AND PARKING LOT SYSTEM:Traffic congestion is now a serious problem in the state capital. This is mainly due to

lack of Urban Transport Management and Parking Lot within the city. It is proposed to make land available by means of direct land acquisition. Extension of road at every suitable locations, projection of RCC slab over culverts will be taken up for purpose of parking. Rs 234.00 lakhs is earmark for the whole period of 11th five year plan.

5. SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT The Department had taken a new step to follow a modern method of waste management technology and being constructed Solid Waste management Centre at Aizawl with the help of grants under 12th Finance Commission (ULB). As initiative, the Department had installed a number of Garbage Trailers in various places within a city, collecting of garbage from this trailer is being taken up with a system of privatisation basis. The detailed process is in progress. A part from this, the Public Private Partnership (PPP) system is being considered to be adopted within the middle part of 11th plan period. Hence the expenditure under this scheme should be considered as diminishing and proposed Rs 700.00 lakhs for the whole period of 11th five year plan.

6. PROVISION FOR URBAN FORESTRY:this scheme is to be introduced in the 11th plan. It is a well known perception that tree planting in urban areas and protection of trees in and around the city is a long felt need. The


URBAN DEV & POVERTY ALLEVIATIONGREEN MIZORAM programme under the auspices and brain child of the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Mizoram, tree planting at road sides, Govt. Complex, School compounds are now became an important state level programmes every year. The programme has diverse importance for environmental protection, Pollution control, water conservation, protection of land slides, beautification and wild life protection. It is proposed to make financial support to this valuable programme. NGOs will be associated in the activities for planting of more trees, up keep and protection of trees. The system of Public Private Partnership (PPP) may be applied with cost effective. Rs 200.00 lakhs is proposed to be earmarked for the 11th five year plan and Rs 200.00 lakhs is earmark for the year 2007 – 2008 annual plan.

7. DOMESTIC WASTE DISPOSAL LINE:The problem of drainage system is enormous. In the past experiences, landslides were cause due to the absence of domestic waste disposal line. While allotting the house sites, there might be no plan for providing perfect small drain for disposal of waste matter to be shared by the householders. Normally, all the households disposed their wastewater from their respective buildings to a short distance thereby dispersing and saturating the soil nearby. The most effective way to prevent the problem will be to provide small drains to be shared by four or five household to link the nearest big drain / side drain. During the 11 th five year plan, it is proposed to construct 125 nos. of such small drain with allocation of Rs 125.00 lakhs.

8. PUBLIC UTILITY AT URBAN AREA:The ideas is to create public assets and utilities like bus waiting shed, Shed for viewing gallery, pay and use toilet, drinking water point at public places etc within the Aizawl City. The system of Public Private Partnership (PPP) will be adopted and management of assets will be handed over to Private/NGOs by sharing revenue earned from the assets and provide a tiny amount for maintenances. Rs 150.00 lakhs is proposed at a diminishing rate for targeting creation of 26 public utilities during the 11th five year plan. Rs 74.00 is proposed for the year 2007 - 2008

9. BEAUTIFICATION OF CITIES AND TOWNS: ‘Cleanliness Week’ was always taken up during the past year especially for the purpose of meeting all expenditure in connection with ‘Observance of Cleanliness Week’ every year. With a formation of a separate of CLEAN MIZORAM SOCIETY, to pursue cleanliness work, a need is felt to concentrate on beautification programme by the Department at urban area. It is a fact that, no separate programme for beautification activities has been taken up during the previous five year plans. Hence, to make the city and towns more attractive, relaxing and decorating, it is proposed to take up various beautification works at important public places and Rs 130.00 lakhs is earmarked for the whole period of 11th five year plan.

10. DISASTER MANAGEMENT:There is a policy to incorporate ‘Disaster Management Programme’ in the plan in every Department under the State Government. In case there is any kind of disaster, the Government Department is expected to make funds available in any form. It is difficult to project specific requirements. It is proposed to spend funds for upkeep and maintenance of machineries & equipments held by the Department like vehicles, etc. Rs 50.00 lakhs is proposed during the whole period of 11th five year plan to be in readiness when deployment are required in tunes of disaster.

11. INFORMATION, EDUCATION AND COMMUNICATION:It has been experienced that without having a proper information, education and communication, most of the schemes and programmes cannot be implemented effectively. Most of the scheme requires detailed examination, verification, education and communication at various levels. This programme will help in the progress monitoring, evaluation etc. Not only that, the Right to Information has been introduced in the state Government, which will


URBAN DEV & POVERTY ALLEVIATIONrequire preparation information to be supplied to the requestors. In order to furnish those information, a separate cell for RTI is required to establish in the Department. During the period of 11th five year plan, Rs 65.00 lakhs is proposed for the purposes mentioned above.

12. MATCHING SHARE OF SJSRYThis can be treated as a new scheme to continue various programme under SJSRY for the purpose of poverty eradication. The norm of the matching the CSS of SJSRY by the state plan fund is 75:25 ratio. At present the scheme cover only the three district capitals viz. Aizawl, Lunglei and Saiha. It is desirable to extend the programme even in the remaining five district capitals. Therefore expecting to receive more grants annually, hence Rs 140.00 lakhs is proposed for the 11th. plan period.

13. MATCHING SHARE OF JN-NURMThis is a fresh scheme launched by the Govt. of India, Ministry of Urban

Development in the last part of the 2005 – 2006. The programme covers the whole of India. Urban perspective framework for a period of 20 – 25 years indicating policies, programmes and strategy of meeting fund requirements would be prepared by identified city. The mission contains four programmes like: (1) Urban Infrastructure and Governance (2) Basic Services to Urban Poor (3) Integrated housing and Slum Development Programme (4) Urban Infrastructure Development Schemes for Small and Medium Towns. Aizawl is one of the identified city and the first two programmes (1&2) are to be taken within the Aizawl city. The other two programmes (3&4) are to be taken within the seven district capitals.

Besides, the Government of India, Ministry of Urban development has launched a new scheme namely Urban Infrastructure Development Schemes for Small & Medium Towns (UIDSSMT). The Scheme aims at improvement in urban infrastructure in towns other then Aizawl City

Parks at Kolasib and Lengpui (New Airport) are now under construction, and It is also intended to create another parks at the remaining District Headquarters such as : Champhai, Serchhip, Mamit.

Beside many towns and village already had their own respective local parks under the maintenance of concerned NGO at their locality without financial assistance from the Government.

Hence, Rs 720.00 lakhs and Rs. 400.00 is proposed during the whole period of 11th five Plan and Annual Plan 2007-08 respectively.

3. Step, retaining wall & FOOTHPATH: This can be stated as a new scheme during the 10th plan period. It is taken up separately as ‘Step & Retaining Wall’ and ‘RCC Footpath’.

URBAN DEV. (LAD)

5. Domestic waste disposal line: This is a fresh scheme to be taken up during the 11th five year plan. The problem of drainage system is enormous. In the past experiences, landslides were cause due to the absence of domestic waste disposal line. While allotting house site, there might be no plan for providing perfect small drain for disposal of liquid waste matter to be shared by the householders. Normally, all the households disposed their waste water from their respective building to a short distance thereby dispersing and saturating the soil nearby. The most effective way to prevent the problem will be to provide small drains to be shared by four or five household to link the nearest big drain / side drain. During the 11th five year plan, it is proposed to construct 200 nos. of such small drain with allocation of Rs 230.00 lakhs. Rs. 86.00 lakhs is proposed for 2007-08 Annual Plan.

Therefore, Rs 100.00 lakhs is proposed for the said works during the 11th five year plan. Rs. 20.00 lakhs is proposed for Annual plan 2007 – 08 .


URBAN DEV. (LAD)7. Beutification of cities and towns: The existing scheme known as ‘ Cleanliness and Beautification of City’ was taken up during the 10th plan especially for the purposed of meeting all expenditure in connection with ‘ Observance of Cleanliness Week’ every year. With a formation of a separate of CLEAN MIZORAM SOCIETY, to pursue cleanliness work a need is felt to concentrate on the beautification programme by the Department at Urban area. It is a fact that, no separate programme for beautification activities has been taken up during the previous five year plans. Hence, to make the city and towns more attractive, relaxing and decorating, it is proposed to take up various beautification works at important public places and Rs 200.00 lakhs is earmarked for the whole period of 11th five year plan. Rs. 130.00 lakhs is proposed for 2007-08 for Annual Plan.8. MACHINERY & EQUIPMENT: There is a policy to incorporate ‘ Disaster Management Programme’ in the plan in every Department under the State Government. This will also be a fresh scheme.

It is proposed to spend finds for upkeep and maintenance of machineries & equipments held by the Department like vehicles, etc Rs 25.00 lakhs is proposed during the whole period of 11th five year plan to be in readiness of machines etc when deployment are required in tunes of disaster. Rs. 40.00 lakhs is proposed for Annual Plan 2007-08.

9. CLEAN MIZORAM: This is a continuing scheme to be considered as a new scheme. CLEAN MIZORAM SOCIETY has been formed by the Government of Mizoram to propagate the gospel of cleanliness in the whole of the state since the last part of 2004 – 2005. The programme is beneficial to impart awareness and instrumental in the cleanliness drive. Cleanliness campaigns were held in many educational institutions, towns and villages.

10. INFORMATION, EDUCATION AND COMMUNICATION: This is a fresh scheme for 11th five year plan. It has been experienced that without having a proper information, education and communication, most of the schemes and programmes cannot be implemented effectively. Most of the scheme requires detailed examination, verification, education and communication at various levels. This scheme will help in the progress of monitoring, evaluation etc. Not only that, the Right to Information has been introduced in the state, which will require preparation of information to be supplied to the requestors. In order to furnish those information, a separate cell for RTI is required to establish in the Department.

INFORMATION & PUBLIC RELATIONS

INFORMATION & PUBLIC RELATIONSDuring the decades of insurgency, the Department was engaged in the Counter-

insurgency activities providing a link between the government and the public. Public relation works was carried out extensively in various forms to wean the public specially the youth away from militancy. The department is instrumental in winning the hearts and souls of the people for a lasting peace and progress. This task was not easy. Peace, been having achieved, development is making headway in various directions and the state is now poised for celebration of twenty years of peace and progress in the State.

In the same vein as winning the hearts of the people for peace, ensuring public participation and acknowledgement of the various opportunities provided by the many benevolent development projects made by the government has to percolate down to the grass root population. For this very important purpose of making peace stay in the land, a good two way communication is essential. This department of Information & Public Relations is a vital tool for acceleration, co-relation of peace and development, feed the public and get feed back. Peace and the process of development is now the envy of visitors from our neighbouring States. Thus well-informed people is the key note for building confidence, satisfaction and trust in the government and a power point for doing away ignorance and mis-conception.

INFRASTRUCTURE NECESSITY :

Construction of permanent assets in the form of re-inforced cement construction of office buildings with a provision for Conference Hall, Auditorium and Technical room would be most beneficial for carrying out the desired human contacts with rural residents. This would provide meeting place and showing of visual publicity and interaction with various groups of people and organisations.

The eight district headquaters are still bare of these facilities. It is desired and proposed to kindly provide fund as a special project for making peace stay and bring economic prosperity in the State. An estimate of Rs. 1920 lakh is submitted for construction of the proposed buildings and staff quarters in the eight districts as enclosed.

Modernisation of equipment : Media supported with visual have tremendous impact for dissemination of development news and events. As seeing is believing, capturing of important projects for telecast through electronic media both local and Government channel and through projector would bring the people and development works closer, would register better participation and a sense of pride with ownership in the mind of the people. This would be able to cover all corners of the villages.

These equipments would be housed in the proposed office building cum-auditorium or public meeting place for interaction and creation of awareness to various projects. Mizoram being on the border state, quenching the thirst for information of the people for active participation in government programmes would also enhance the security and defence of the country.

Evince interest, Vigil and Transparency : In most project executions the people at large and also of the specific project areas are often a silent spectator and show no interest, whereas all the government projects are very much people oriented with sole targets to bring conveniences and better means to the public. Foremost priority seems creation of awareness, education and alert the people specially around the areas and the


INFORMATION & PUBLIC RELATIONSdistricts and thereby evince sincere interest and vigilance to the projects against sub-standard execution or manipulation by various agencies. For this, tools of information and correct media exercises would bring the desired transparency and implementation of works.

The proposed outlay for the 11th Five Year Plan and the Annual Plan are Rs. 1036.00 lakhs and Rs. 297.00 lakhs respectively . Schemewise write up and proposed outlays are given below :

1. Capital outlay-during the 11th 5 Year Plan the Department proposes construction of the following buildings. The existing old Directorate building was constructed in 1975. It has become old and overdue for re-construction. In addition to the earlier three Districts, another five new Districts were created without any provision of additional fund. The office buildings and staff quarters in these 3 old districts were constructed way back in 1973 in Assam type building. These buildings are in a dilapidated from and need re-construction while the five new districts have no infrastructure assets for office or staff quarters. Hence, new buildings are the urgent needs to enable them to function properly. Therefore, Rs. 157.00 lakhs is proposed for the 11th Five year Plan while Rs. 50.00 lakhs is earmarked for 2007-08.

Out of Rs.126 lakh, an amount of Rs.50 lakh is earmarked for the year, 2007-2008.

2. Production of Films :- To project the image of Mizoram state and its people as well as the developmental projects and achievements of the State Government the Department has been producing numbers of documentary films. This has been highly effective among the rural and the grass root population who have no opportunity to witness the steps taken by the Government in different areas beyond their reach. The documentary films to a high degree remove the feeling of neglect and create sense of participation and pride as “ seeing is believing”.

In addition to this, the Information & Public Relations Department has been doing Live Telecast of the Assembly Sessions since 1994 and send copies of the visuals to interior places where Live Telecast is not possible. To intensify introduction and improve the standard and quality and to cope with the needs and demands of the day, better equipment and technical know-how are required. Hence the above proposal is made for improvement and modernisation of production of film with modern technique. For which Rs. 59.00 lakhs is proposed during 11th Five year Plan while Rs. 10.00 lakhs is earmarked for 2007 – 08.

It is proposed that an amount of Rs.59.00 lakhs may be provided during the 11th

Five Year Plan. Out of which Rs.10 lakh is earmarked for the year 2007-2008.

3. Public Exhibition of Films : With the growing menace of drug abuse and social evils it has become necessary to intensify public exhibition of films shows to educate the mass of the people. For procurement and purchase of films on National Integration, Family Planning, Drug Abuse, and other educational films and purchase of 2 vehicles for films shows in the interior villages, an amount of Rs.60.00 lakh is proposed for the entire 11th Five Year Plan. Out of which Rs.10 lakh is earmarked for 2007-2008.

4. Others :(a) Training in Mass Communication : With the advancement of new techniques in Mass Communication, Public Relations and Journalism it is necessary for the


INFORMATION & PUBLIC RELATIONSofficers of this department to undergo training courses to catch up with modern technique and better skills even as to enable them to function as trainners of the local media, an amount of Rs.30.00 lakh is proposed out of which Rs.9 lakh is earmarked for the year 2007-2008.

(b) Research and Reference :The department is putting up Photo gallery and Book gallery which serve as a valuable archive which facilitates researcher and students in their research and studies and also provide documentary evidences and necessary information for the Government as well.

This has to be up-graded and modernised. An amount of Rs.30.00 lakh is proposed during the 11th Five Year Plan out of which Rs.9 lakh is earmarked for the year 2007-2008.

5. Advertising and Visual Publicity :It is the core of Publicity for building the image of the government. Public

Relations works through various Visual and print media agencies. Due to forbidding of high tariff at the National level it is so far being almost impossible to project the image of the state and its people in the National media which results in ignorance about the state and its people to the rest of the country, thereby obstructing mutual understanding and stand on the way of National unity and emotional integration.

Apart from creating the image of the state and its people, advertising and Visual publicity is an extremely useful tool for comenting National Integration and communal harmony. Hence, an amount of Rs.51.00 lakh is proposed during the 11th Five Year Plan. Out of which Rs.20 lakh is earmarked for the year 2007-2008.

6. Information Centre :Altogether we have 6 (six) Information Centres in the Rural areas and 1 (one) Information Centre in New Delhi.

The need for strengthening Information Centre in New Delhi is reflected in the minutes of the meeting held under the Chairmanship of Shri Darshan Kumar, Adviser (SP), with the Resident Commissioners of the North Eastern Region and Sikkim in his chamber on 17th June, 1996 at 11:30 AM. The extract of the minutes reads- ” The need for an Information counter ” in each of the Resident Commissioner’s Office was also appreciated. It was noted that since Chief Ministers, Ministers and Senior Officers of the State Government are often visiting Delhi for attending the meetings they do need the reference materials available at the State Houses. Central Government officers also need reference material from state Houses.

To strengthen and upgrade the Information centres it is proposed to set up data base and Information Kiosk not only in the Delhi Information Centre but also in all the Mizoram Houses in Mumbai, Kolkata, Vellore, Guwahati, Shillong and Silchar. In addition to this, it is also proposed to install Information Kiosk in the directorate, all districts Information offices, Lengpui Airport and the existing six rural Information centres in Mizoram.

An amount of Rs.140.00 lakh is proposed during the 11th Five year Plan which include rent for Information Centres and providing reading and Visual materials in the rural Information Centres. An amount of Rs. 40 lakh is earmarked for the year 2007-2008.



7. Press Information Services :The department is subscribing three services of PTI at Raj Bhawan, Chief Minister’s office and the Directorate and another 3 services of UNI at the mentioned three offices. During

the 11th Five Year Plan we proposed to subscribe PTI services for all the eight district offices to bring Mizoram in the news Map of India.

As a nodal department for media in the State, we have to subscribe all the newspapers and Magazines in the State for monitoring and feed back of the reports. We also have to subscribe National papers and Magazines which are instrumental for our daily functioning.

As a part of creating the feeling of National Integration, Journalist tours from Mizoram are necessary as the media is a powerful instrument for creating Communal Harmony as well as Communal flare up.

Hence, an amount of Rs.83.00 lakh is proposed during the 11th Five Year Plan. Out of which Rs.20 lakh is earmarked for the year 2007-2008.

8. Field Publicity : While the Government lays emphasis on rural development and bringing democracy at the grass-root level, it is necessary that Field Publicity in all the districts, sub-divisions and wherever we have Rural Information Centres and major villages. Mizoram being sandwiched between Myanmar and Bangladesh with more than 700 Kms of International boundary it is extremely necessary to educate and sensitise the people along the International border about the developmental projects and about India. For this purpose maximum mobility is necessary to reach the interior most part of the State to give them opportunity to see the works of the Government through visual media to give them the feeling of ownership and belonging. This sentimental and emotional feeling can create a human fencing along the International boundaries which are very much porous. For this purpose mobile video Van equipt with LCD Projectors and Screens for attracting and moulding the minds of the people in those far-flung areas are necessary.

Hence, an amount of Rs.71.00 lakh is proposed for the entire 11th Five Year Plan. Out of which Rs. 35 lakh is earmarked for the year 2007-2008.

9. Songs and Drama : Cultural exchanges and interactionamong the youth of different communities from different States have been found highly effective for bring about emotional integration which is the core of National Integration. We have been receiving cultural troupes from various States and we are also sending cultural troupes to other States for fostering mutual relations. Hence, an amount of

Rs.48.00 lakh is proposed for the entire 11th Five Year Plan. Out of which Rs.18 lakh is earmarked for the year 2007-2008.

10. Photo Services : This department has been serving almost as an archive for recording important functions and historical events. It covers the entire Government functions including Video and Still coverage through out the State on all occasions. This include processing like editing, multiplication of video tapes/disc, printing and distribution of photographs to all media agencies both print and electronics media and keeping of records. The equipments for these has to be modernized and upgraded to the latest new techniques to catch up with the computer and internet Kiosk.

An amount of Rs.77.00 lakh is proposed for the entire 11th Five Year Plan. Out of which Rs.20 lakh is earmarked for the year 2007-2008.



11. Publication : Mizoram being on top of literacy chart, reading materials are in great demand which is still hightened by the introduction of the Right to Information Act. Publication of brochures, leaflets and information about Mizoram served almost an invitation to tourists to visit Mizoram from the mainland and abroad.

To enable to work effectively on this, we proposed an amount of Rs.94.00 lakh

for the entire 11th Five Year Plan. Out of which Rs.32 lakh is earmarked for the year 2007-2008.

12. Community Radio and Television : The Department is continually receiving heartening feed back from the rural and border areas regarding installation of community listening sets and community viewing sets. It has been found that these electronics sets are highly instrumental in deflecting foreign influences through their signals particularly among the people of border areas. This will serve in bringing to home against the feeling of geographical and communal isolation from the mainland. It is therefore proposed to intensify to install community viewing and listening sets in the rural areas to achieve the desired results. Hence, an amount of Rs.48.00 lakh is proposed for the

entire 11th Five Year Plan for purchase of community listening and viewing sets, technical equipments and generators. Out of which Rs.4 lakh is earmarked for the year 2007-2008.

13. Cultural and Social activities : Most of the rural population have not had a chance to see their own State capital not to speak of the national capital at New Delhi. In this regard, the refrain cannot but be national integration. It is therefore found necessary to organise Aizawl Dharsan and Bharat Dharsan for the people who do not afford to go to Delhi or Aizawl. The department has been regularly sending Tribal representatives to witness Republic Day celebration in New Delhi every year. The department is also requested by the central Government to present Republic Day Tableaux in New Delhi accompanied by cultural troupe. As such, Rs. 88.00 lakh is proposed for 11th Five year Plan and Rs. 20.00 lakh is earmarked for 2007-08.

A total outlay of Rs 625.12 lakhs has been allotted for the establishment of new ITI at Lunglei and Saiha including strengthening / modernising the existing ITI, Aizawl under the Prime Minister’s Economic Packages for North Eastern States during 10th Five Year Plan. Under the Scheme there are 38 posts already filled up on contract basis. As the packages for the North East cover 10th Plan period, the State Govt. have to take over the scheme from 11th Five Year Plan for which a sum of Rs 21.00 lakhs is earmarked:-

To start with the scheme, the Govt. of India has approved an introduction of four trades each at Lunglei and Saiha and nine more new trades to the existing ITI, Aizawl increasing the intake capacity of trainees by 192. Thus the total seating capacity becomes nearly 660. The workload and the status of the ITI. Aizawl are also simultaneously enhanced qualifying the ITI for being headed by Senior principal in the rank of Deputy Director. Students are paid monthly stipend of Rs 500/- and annual book grant of Rs 1000/- each and as also uniform. Yet there is no Assistant in the office of the Principal. Again as per Govt. of India, DGE&T norm for every 8 units of Vocational Trades there should be one group Instructors, whereas this ITI does not have even one single Group Instructor. Hence, the need for 3 Group Instructors. Still more, presently Draughtsman Civil and Radio & TV [Mechanic] trades are also functioning in the ITI. Both are of two units of two years duration. Yet there is just one Instructor each for these two trades, These acute shortage severely hampers the normal training stream and requires to be rectified urgently.

The existing ITI Bus is over 15 years old and has outlived its life-span. With the heavy increase in the intake capacity of trainees it is eminent large chunk of the entrants would be from the sub-urban areas of Aizawl City and the existing rickety bus is of no use at all. In order to cope up the rust of trainees from Sihphir, Durtlang, Zemabawk, Luangmual, Hlimen etc. two new buses are proposed as additional Bus and the other as a replacement of the old one which can be fruitfully used for training purposes in the ITI.

The total outlay proposed for Craftsman training during 11th Five Year Plan 2007-2012 is Rs 249.00 lakhs and total proposed outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08 for maintenance of existing scheme is Rs 65.00 lakhs.

(c) Youth Development Centre :-

Youth Development Centre (formerly known as De-addiction-cum-Rehabilitation Centre) is located at Sethawn on Aizawl to Silchar 54 National Highway, about 70 km. From the State capital i.e. Aizawl.

Social Welfare Department had been running De-addiction-cum-Rehabilitation Centre with its own State Plan Fund since 1990. With the coming up of a good number of Non-Governmental Organizations (N.G.O.s) in the field to take up the primary tasks of detoxification and rehabilitation of drug addicts and alcoholics, the Govt. of Mizoram converted the Centre into an Aftercare Centre (Youth Development Centre). The Youth Development Centre is proposed to cater to the needs of youths who are facing unemployment problems in the State and also to act as State Referral Centre for recovered addicts. In Mizoram, urbanization is growing at a much faster rate than the infrastructures, and services to cope with it. A large populace of the rural villages migrating to the State capital and a few big towns, which provide better facilities such as health services, education, water supply, electricity, employment etc. But the employment opportunities are open only for theose youth who have the required qualifications and skills. This in turn has created frustration among the youth. Rising youth unemployment has been arousing increasing concern in the State. It is, therefore, important to plan manpower generation programmes for the youth who have been dropped out of schools and also for those who cannot make use of the educational degrees they obtained from schools and colleges and even from the Universities.

Because of this, youth problem, cases of ruined lives, crime, drug addiction, lost hopes, social fears, reduced productivity, raised social expenditure and disdain for authority are becoming today’s social scenario in Mizoram. The unemployed youth are easily lured by the easy way of earning money through illegal means such as forcible collection of fund in the name of donations etc. It is a fact that the problem of unemployment is one of the causes of anti-social activities in all the Northeastern States. The inevitable result of this practice would be armed rebellion where they can be much more effective with the weapons and fear they would then wield. It is, therefore, important to plan programmes before it is too late to lead the youth in the right way and at the same time provide self employment to them. The proposed Youth Development Centre would reduce the problem of unemployment among the educated youth by equipping them with skills for different types of employment. It also aims at providing discipline to youth through physical conditioning and teamwork and to make them law-abiding citizens. There is also a growing apprehension that unless corrective measures are immediately initiated and steps taken in that direction, more youths who are


SOCIAL WELFARE bereft of employment in Mizoram will become volatile and the society itself will soon be a time bomb ticking away minutes towards the big explosion when the state will be infested with armed insurgents like the states of Manipur, Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura and Nagaland.

The initial proposed trades are :- (i) Computer (ii) Electronics(iii) Automobiles (iv) Carpentry

In addition to the above proposed trades, it is also proposed to provide basic skill trainings to the trainees in Agriculture, Horticulture, Sericulture, Animal Husbandry and Vetenary fields. As for the courses in Computer, it is planned to run the courses in collaboration with DOEACC Centre, Aizawl, Mizoram. The proposal for inclusion of basic skill trainings in the field of Agriculture, Horticulture, Sericulture and Animal Husbandry is to enable the trainees to acquire basic knowledge and skills in these fields so that on completion of the trainings, they would become productive and good citizens.

Thus, the existing infrastructure including the staff in the Centre would continue during the 11th Five Year Plan with some modifications as mentioned above.

(i) Food Analysis Plant :- The food habits of the Mizos is very different from the rest of the Indian States. The indigenous food items that are consumed in the daily diets of the people deserved special attention. Hence, Research Centre in the form of Food Analysis Plant needs to be set up for Mizoram in particular in order to explore and research the nutrients and chemicals present.

This Food Analysis Plant is a dire necessity for the State, and Mizoram would greatly benefit from it as it could serve not only as a research Project but also revolutionalize the Nutrition Awareness.

It is felt that this important issue should be addressed in a proper manner starting from this financial year.

An amount of Rs.2.00 lakhs only is proposed for the year 2007-08.

The existing jails in Mizoram are given below:1. Central Jail, Aizawl2. District Jail, Aizawl3. District Jail, Lunglei4. District Jail, Saiha5. District Jail, Kolasib6. District Jail, Champhai

The sub-jail at Tlabung is now ready for occupation and establishment of jail.

The jail buildings are also needed for extensive repair and renovation. A provision of Rs.150.00 lakh is made in the 11th Five Year Plan and Rs. 14.00 lakhs is proposed during 2007 – 08.

ADMINISTRATIVE TRAINING INSTITUTE

ADMINISTRATIVE TRAINING INSTITUTEAdministrative Training Institute ( ATI ), Aizawl, Mizoram was established

in 1983. It is the premier and the only institute of its kind in the State. It imparts in-service training to almost all levels of Government employees under Government of Mizoram on courses like Refresher / Orientation / Foundation / Accounts Courses, Establishment & Administration, Financial Management, Disciplinary Proceedings, Senioriry & Promotion, Pension Rules, Computer Concepts, Mizo Short-Hand, RTI, etc. The Institute also conducts training on Disaster Management for Government officials as well as for the public as part of Government’s drive to generate public awareness on the subject.

The role of the Administrative Training Institute in capacity building of the State Government machineries is, therefore, not only vital but centrepiece to capacity building initiatives of the Government of Mizoram.

The total outlay proposed for 11th Five Year Plan 2007 – 12 and Annual Plan 2007 – 08 are Rs. 300.00 lakhs and Rs. 100.00 lakhs respectively.

EXISTING POSITION OF ATI At present, Administrative Training Institute is accommodated in a rented

building at Tuikhuahtlang, Aizawl. A new Administrative Training Institute Complex is being constructed by NBCC at the new Capital Complex, Khatla, Aizawl with the fund provided by the Ministry of Urban Development, Government of India. The Complex is likely to be ready for occupation during the current financial year 2006-2007.(1) Officers / Faculties & Staff(a) Director - 1 no.(b) Joint Director - 1 no.(c) Dy.Director(Admn) - 1 no.(d) Dy.Director of Acctts(Trg.)- 2 nos.(e) Asstt.Director - 4 nos.(f) Superintendent - 1 no.(g) Assistant - 2 nos.(h) Steno-II - 1 no.(i) UDC - 2 nos.(j) LDC - 2 nos.(k) Machine Operator - 1 no.(l) Driver - 2 nos.(m) Depatch Rider - 1 no.(n) Duftry - 1 no.(o) Group D - 6 nos.

Total - 28 Nos.

In addition to the training programmes conducted at the Institute, the faculty members also conduct peripatetic trainings at District Headquarters other than Aizawl for which they have to travel extensively. Moreover, they are also often required to attend seminars, workshops and trainings at reputed institutions outside the State.


ADMINISTRATIVE TRAINING INSTITUTE

1. Strengthening of ATIThe existing strength of officers and staff of ATI is felt inadequate to

carry out the various training programmes to the desired level. Moreover, it is proposed to add new courses on the training schedule. Occupation of the new ATI Complex will also definitely necessitate engagement of additional staff.

In view of the above, it is considered necessary to strengthen the faculty members and staff accordingly during the the 11th Plan 2007 – 12.

2. Strengthening of Disaster Management Cell

At present, Disaster Management Cell (DM Cell) is functioning with Central Assistance. With the existing staff of 1 (one) Head Faculty, 1 (one) Research Officer and 1 (one) Steno-III without any supporting staff, it is indeed difficult to run the DM Cell smoothly and efficiently. It is, therefore, proposed to strengthen the DM Cell by creating some posts during 11th Fiv e Year Plan 2007 – 2012.

3. Establishment of ATI HostelAs there is no Hostel Building in the new ATI Complex, it is considered

necessary to establish one Hostel Building to accommodate the trainees coming from out-station places. It is expected that the site for Hostel Building will be allotted to ATI by the Government near the new ATI Complex.

Moreover, creation of the some posts will be necessary for the Hostel Building in due course.4. Furnishing, etc of New ATI Complex

(1) The new ATI Complex consists of four blocks, viz., Administrative Block, Lecture Halls (including Computer Labs, etc.), Guest Rooms and Auditorium. The existing furniture and fixtures, and equipments of ATI are inadequate for the new ATI. Besides, they have become old and worn-out, and are likely to be condemned soon. So, new and additional furniture and fixtures like almirahs, bookcases, tables, chairs, carpet, beds (for guest rooms), seats (for auditorium), etc., and equipments like intercom, PA sets, computers, LCD projectors, V – Sat , etc., have to procured.

For furnishing of the New ATI building additional fund of Rs. 30.00 lakhs was allocated during 2006-07 and the fund was fully utilized for furnishing of Administrative Block, Training Halls and Conference Halls. However, it is required to furnish the Auditorium, Guest Room and Library which can not be furnished during 2006-07. Therefore, requirement of fund under (13)-O.E. and (50)-O.C. for Annual Plan 2007-08 has been increased from the normal size under this two sub-heads.

(2) Water Connection: This is to be executed by PHE Department under supervision of ATI. Since the new ATI Complex is far-flung from PHE distribution tank, more pipes and fittings than are usually necessary will be required.

(3) Electric Connection & Internal Wiring: The work will be executed by Power & Electricity Department under supervision of ATI.

(4) Library : It is of utmost necessity to procure more books to cater to the need of the faculties and the trainees. Moreover, the library room of the new ATI has to be furnished with bookshelves, tables, chairs, etc.


ADMINISTRATIVE TRAINING INSTITUTE5. Minor Works

In order to safeguard the new ATI Complex, construction of proper fencing is a must. Moreover, construction of retaining wall, approach road and parking area is also necessary.

6. Hiring charges of Vehicles

The new ATI Complex is a bit far-flung from the city proper. As such, one Staff Bus is necessary to pick up and drop the staff, trainees etc. and for field visits. The matter was pointed out in the Review Meeting of Plan Fund under the Chairmanship of Commissioner, Planning/Finance Department held on 8th Nov.,2006. However, purchase of bus was not recommended since maintenance and engagement of Driver and conductor cannot be afforded from the State Plan Fund. However, it was advised to make arrangement on hiring basis of private bus instead of purchasing a new one. Since the new building is ready for occupation and the Institute is being shifted from private buildings, there will be no requirement of fund for hiring charges of private building for which Rs. 4.15 lakhs was earmarked annually can be conveniently utilized for hiring charges of private bus. Hence, requirement of fund under (13)-O.E. has been increased and the sub-head (14)-Rents is deleted in the proposed Annual Plan 2007-08. 7. Capacity Building

Capacity building is one main objectives of ATI. The Institute intends to send its faculty members to attend more training programmes within India and abroad. At the same time, it is intended that more training programmes be organized on specialized topics in the Institute by bringing in experts and professionals from outside the State.

In view of the above consideration, the proposed outlay for the Eleventh Five Year Plan 2007-2012 is Rs. 308.00 lakhs. Since the Administrative Training Institute, Mizoram has been allocated Rs. 90.00 lakhs for the Annual Plan 2006-07, the Annual Plan for 2007-08 has been increased by Rs. 100.00 lakhs ( i.e. about 10% increase) as summarized under :-
