PREFACE Since disadvantaged segments of a society can not remain as

disadvantaged in a Welfare State, the ‘development deficits’ must be addressed through a method so as to bring them at par with national average. It has been experienced that few social groups which are termed as minority groups are either oppressed or stigmatized on the basis of racial, biological or other characteristics. Marginalization takes place where a social group starts lagging behind other social groups causing social exclusion . A particular segment of a society experiences deprivation either of resources or of social links. Economic benefits provided to these groups may remove the deprivation which causes social exclusion. The Sachar Committee looked into the relative deprivation of Muslims and focused on the deficits and deprivations of Muslims in it’s report. Later on, the Govt. of India decided to identify districts on the basis of minority population, namely Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Buddhists and Parsis and backwardness parameters such as literacy rate, female literacy rate, work participation rate, female work participation rate, percentage of households with pucca walls, safe drinking water, electricity and water closet latrines etc. and the result is Multi-sectoral District Development plan for Minority concentrated district so as to remove the deprivations.

Bongaigaon District is one of 90 Minority concentration districts in the country and classified in category ‘A’ i.e. the district is having both Socio-Economic and Basic amenities parameters below national average.

Based on the guidelines of Ministry of Minority Affairs, Government of India, base line survey of the district was carried out by Omeo Kumar Das Institute of Social Changes, Guwahati, Assam. On the basis of the survey the Multi Sectoral Development Plan for Minorities has been drafted for the district.

Plan schemes covering 24 sectors have been prepared under this programme. Priorities have been given on better infrastructure of schools, pucca housing, drinking water, basic health, all weather roads, critical infrastructure linkages that are required for optimizing services, skill development, marketing facilities which are required for improving living conditions besides beneficiary oriented schemes for creating income generating activities .

While preparing the schemes, views of the members of the District Level Committee on PM’s New 15 pt. programme have been obtained along with the PRIS.

The Plan/Project has been approved by the District Level Committee. The MSDP, which will change the socio-economic scenario of the minority people of Bongaigaon District, may be implemented successfully only through joint effort and responsibility of the Govt. functionaries as well as PRIS.

Proper evaluation and external monitoring will be carried out at the time of implementation. There is no doubt that inclusive growth, accelerated development

and improvement in the quality of life of the people will be arrived at in the District of Bongaigaon with the help of all.

CHAPTER -II A BRIEF PROFILE OF BONGAIGAON 1. Area and location

Bongaigaon District was created in 1989 carving, out areas of Goalpara and

Kokrajhar District with its headquarter at Bongaigaon. It is surrounded by four districts,

namely Barpeta in the east, Goalpara in the south-east, Kokrajhar in the north-west and

Dhubri in the south-west.

The major portion of the areas of erstwhile Bijni and Sidli estates along with tracts

of Eastern Duars was carved out of Goalpara and Kokrajhar District in October, 1989 in

order to create a new district of Assam, i.e. Bongaigaon, Although the rationale behind the

creation of this new district was no doubt an administrative one, however, political and

economic exigencies were also responsible behind its creation. The District falls within

26028/ N to 26054/ N latitude and 89028/ E to 90096/ E longitude. The district has a total land

area of 2152 sq. km. as per the records of Census 2001, of this total rural area is 2123.92 sq.

km. and urban area is 28.08 sq. km.

2. Administrative Division.

Administratively, the district is divided into three subdivisions viz. Bongaigaon,

Bijni and North Salmara. There are five revenue circles and seven community development

blocks (CD) in the district.

3. Resource Base

3.1. Population

As per the Census data 2001, the demographic profile of the district shows that

45.08 percent of the total rural population in the district belongs to the minority community

of which Muslims comprise 94 percent. The population density in the district stands at 420

persons per sq. Km. is significantly higher than the state average which stands at 340

persons as per the 2001 census. With a total of 168556 households, the district comprises

145300 rural households and 23256 urban household.

The population distribution of religious minority groups in the rural areas is shown

in the table below. The percentage of total Muslim population in the rural population of

Bongaigaon district is estimated to be 43% approximately. The Muslim population in

district which was 23.38 percent as per the estimates of 1991 census has increased to 24.77

percent as per the estimates of 2001 census data. The share of ST population in the district is

12.23%.

3.2. Sex ratio

An important indicator of gender equality is the number of females per thousand

males. As per the 2001 census data, the sex ratio of Bongaigaon stands at 945 females per

thousand males while the child sex ratio for (0-6 years) is 972. Significantly, the sex ratio

for rural areas in the district stands higher than the district total. Caste and religious group

wise sex ratio shows that although the Muslims and Hindu SC population have low sex ratio

6

in the district however, the Muslims fare better than the SCs. The sex ratio of the ST

population comprising mainly the ethnic groups of Bodo Kacharis which is equal is

traditionally less gender unbiased society.

The literacy rate in the district as per the Census, 2001 is lower than the state

average. Although the female literacy rate in the urban areas of the district is same as that of

the state average for urban female, however in rural areas the female literacy rate is much

lower than the state average which clearly shows the poor status of educational attainment

for women.

Religious community wise literacy rates in the district reveal that literacy rate for

Hindus is not only the highest among the religious groups of the district but is also

significantly higher than the district average rural literacy rate. The literacy rate of the

Muslims is much below the average rural literacy rate of the district particularly the Muslim

female literacy rate in rural areas. This low level of literacy and consequent educational

attainment has its bearing on the employment and livelihood opportunities of the Muslims.

The main reason for educational backwardness of Muslims is poverty due to which children

are forced to drop out after the first few classes. This is particularly true for Muslim girls.

Little children are expected to provide for their families by working in karkhanas (small

workshops), as domestic help or by looking after their siblings while their mothers to work

(Sachar Committee Report, 2006). The opportunity costs involved in sending children to

school is also too high for poor and illiterate parents. The community specific factor for low

7

educational achievement is that Muslims do not see education as necessary translating into

formal employment (Sachar Committee Report, 2006).

Table-3.1. Literacy rate by religious groups and place of residence in Bongaigaon.

Christians District Total 58.72 66.66 50.62

Christians Rural 57.27 65.44 48.93 Source : Census of India, 2001.

The gender discrepancy in terms of sex ratio and literacy rate is thus more

prominent for Muslim females in Bongaigaon district which corroborates the findings of

Sachar Committee Report.

3.4. Workforce

The workforce distribution of the total population in the district shows that only

32.41% of the population is in the total workforce, while 67.59% of the total population of

the district is non workers. The urban work participation rate (31%) is marginally lower

than the rural work participation rate (32%). Cultivators comprise the major work rural

force in Bongaigaon. However, the size class wise landholding distribution in the district

shows that 66% of the total landholdings in the district are less than one hectare which

shows that most of the farmers have landholding, sizes less than marginal size class, 22% of

the cultivators have marginal holdings and 12% have landholdings of more than two

hectares. The phenomena of fragmentation and land alienation are well captured by the fact

that while there has been 52% decrease of cultivators in the workforce in the district,

simultaneously the agricultural workers has increased by almost 25% compared to the

figures for 1991.

Religious groups wise work participation rate reveal that although Hindus comprise

55% of the total rural population in the district, 60% of the total rural workers in the district

are Hindus. On the contrary, although 43% of the total rural population in the district

belongs to Muslims, the share of the community in the work force is only 37% which

indicates that 73% of the Muslims are without any work.

Further disaggregated figures on gender based work participation rate indicate that

female work participation rate is one third the rate of males in the district. The differences

are more pronounced in the urban areas where the female work participation rate is only 8%

compared to 51% for males.

This indicates that with almost 80% literates among urban women, there is however

limited work opportunities for them. Religion and gender based disaggregated data shows

that Muslims women’s work participation is only one fifth of their male counterparts. The

share of female workers in the total rural female population in Bongaigaon is 21% while the

same for Muslims is only 10%. The gender discrepancy in terms of sex ratio, literacy rate

and work participation is therefore more pronounced for rural Muslim women in

Bongaigaon district.

3.5. Education and Health

The educational level of the population of the district is abysmally low. Stage wise

enrolment figures for the district shows that pre-primary enrolment in the district is 13%

while the same for primary level is 55%. The enrolment rate in the middle school is merely

20% while at the high school and higher secondary level the figures stand 9% and 3% only.

The poor educational attainment in the district also reflects the poor quality of employable

human resource and low work status for the vast majority of the workforce. The educational

attainment of the total literate population in the district as per Census 2001 shows that 2%

are just literate without any attainment level. The educational attainment for pre-primary is

32% and primary is 24%. The educational attainment of the district in respect of middle and

high school/ higher secondary and diploma is 19% each. The corresponding figure for

graduates is only 4%.

An important indicator of health status is the sex ratio especially of children in the

age group of 0-6 years. The child sex ratio in the district as per the estimate of Census, 2001

is higher than the state average. Although the rural child sex ratio in the district stands

higher than the state average, the urban child sex ratio in the district is much lower than the

state average. A comparative picture across religious groups shows that child sex ratio

among the Muslims in the district is the highest across all religious groups. The high child

sex ratio of the Muslims can be attributed to high birth rates. Although the rural child sex

ratio of the Muslims is significantly higher than the state and the district average, the urban

sex ratio is the lowest across al religious groups and is significantly less than the state and

the district average. The infant mortality rate in the district which stands at 122 per thousand

live births is the second highest among the districts of Assam as per the estimate of the

Assam Human Development Report (AHDR) 2003. The health index of the district as per

the AHDR (2003) ranks second from bottom at 0.129.

3.6. Human Development Index

In respect of Human Development Index (HDI), Bongaigaon is one of the lowest

ranked districts of Assam. The district ranks 21 in respect of HDI with an index value of

0.263 which is much lower than the state index at 0.407. The Human Poverty Index (24.03)

as per the AHDR (2003) indicates that almost a quarter of the population in the district is in

poverty. The Gender related Development Index (GDI) for Bongaigaon in 2001 is estimated

to be 0.376, which is far less than the state average of 0.537. The GDI rank of Bongaigaon

which stands at 16 is higher than the HDI rank at 21. The high GDI rank compared to HDI

indicates low gender disparity in the district.

4. Natural Resource Base

4.1. Land and its quality

Among the 15 agro-climatic regions of the country, categorized/ identified on the

basis of homogeneity in agro-characteristics, Bongaigaon falls in the Lower Brahmaputra

Valley zone. The agro climatic conditions of the district are conducive for various

agricultural activities. The topography of the district represents mostly plain lands except a

small portion of isolated hills in Bijni sub-division, bordering Bhutan. The district is drained

by the Brahmaputra on the south and two of its major tributaries viz. Aie & Manas flowing

from the north to south. About 72% of normal rainfall is received during May to August.

Heavy rainfall coupled with high intensity of wind causes severe soil erosion, particularly

on upper reach and in flood prone areas. Sheet Gully erosion and riverbank erosion, are the

main types of erosion commonly seen in the district. It may be observed that there is vast

scope for land development activities, water management and soil conservation in the

district. The total estimated potential area for land development activities is 15700 hectares

in the district.

Agriculture in the district is characterized by over dependence on rainfall,

predominance of seasonal crops and traditional methods of cultivation. Agriculture is the

predominant economic activities of the district. Paddy is the major crop of the district and

covers 75% of the total gross cropped area. Net area under different crops in the district

works out to forms about 38% of the total geographical area.

4.2. Forestry

The forest cover in the district is estimated to be 56598 hectares i.e. 22.6% of its

total geographical area as per the estimates of Forest Statistics of Assam 2005. The per

capita forest coverage in the district is 0.07. Although the total area under reserve forest in

the district is 48953.13 hectares, the rate of deforestation of reserved forest during the

period 1994-2005 in the district has been estimated at 9% per annum. In respect of farm

forestry, the district has vast scope for development of bamboo sector. The Manas National

Park falls in the northern part of the district.

4.3. Soil and Water

The district falls under Brahmaputra river basin. The district has large reservoir of

water resources with the river Brahmaputra and its two tributaries of Aie and Manas. The

soil type is generally sandy to sandy loam with alluvial deposits. The soil is highly porous

and therefore, lacks moisture retention capacity and is susceptible to erosion. The water

level in the district is very low. The rivers also act as reservoir for fisheries. The district has

a total of six registered beel fisheries. The district experiences annual rainfall in the range of

2500 mm to 3500 mm. Goalpara Soil Conservation Division with its head quarters at

Kokrajhar is the nodal agency to oversee the soil conservation and water management

works in the district. There is only one range office in the Bongaigaon district which was

under the jurisdiction of Goalpara Division. The district approximately shares four percent

of the usable ground water resources in the State of which only 15% is usable for drinking

water purpose. This indicates the necessary for harnessing alternative water use facilities as

source of drinking water in the district.

5. Economy

5.1. Agriculture

The economy of Bongaigaon district is basically agrarian in nature with about 80%

of the population dependent on agriculture. Paddy is the major crop. Other important crops

include oil seeds, pulses, cash crop like jute, vegetable etc. The agro climatic conditions of

the district are conducive for various agricultural activities. Agriculture in the district is

characterized by over dependence on rainfall, predominance of seasonal crops and

traditional methods of cultivation. The sector contributes 38% of the total income in the

Gross District Domestic Product while secondary sector contributes 19%. The tertiary

sector’s contribution is estimated to be 43%. The per capita Gross District Domestic Product

of Bongaigaon estimated at Rs.7619 is the second lowest among the districts of the state.

5.2. Industries and mineral base

The district is endowed with natural mineral resources and has high industrial

growth potential. The existing industrial base of the district comprises the BRPL

(Bongaigaon Refinery & Petro Chemicals Limited) one of the large scale industries of the

whole NE Region which has given more than 1700 Nos. direct employment. The two

spinning mills at Noapara near Bijni and Boitamari, LPG Bottling Plant at New

Bongaigaon, Bharatpur Oxygen Gas, Dhaligaon, are the other major industrial units in the

district. Further, there are about 867 SSI units functioning in the district.

The district has one industrial estate at new Bongaigaon with 35 sheds. The total

number of registered SSI units in the district is 867 (1.71% of State total) and 36 registered

factories which comprise of wood and wood products, saw timber etc. and food product and

beverages. The largest concentration of industry is in around Bongaigaon due to availability

of various infrastructure facilities. The infrastructural facilities available for the

entrepreneurs include industrial estate with an area of 2,73,600 sq. ft with 35 sheds of which

only 26 are functioning. There is an industrial area at new Bongaigaon with an area of

2,73,600 sq. ft where M/S Brahmaputra corporation and S.S. Dying industry have been

established. There are four Commercial Estates one each at North Bongaigaon and

Abhayapuri and Bijni. The commercial estate at Khasikotra has been developed for the ST

population. The district has two growth centres at Khazira and Dhaligaon and the centre has

been used for promoting pork processing unit.

5.3. Livestock and veterinary facilities

Dairying is practiced by most of the small and marginal farmers and landless labours in

the district and to them this activity provides economic security by serving as a hedge against

crop failure. The economy of the district is highly dependable on agriculture and allied

activities. Traditionally, diary farming is a subsidiary occupation of the farmers of the district.

Despite the large population of live stock, the milk production in the district is low mainly due

to predominance of local cows with a poor genetic make up.

Though the district has conducive climate condition for poultry farming, particularly

commercial broilers, the activity has not made any significant progress as majority of the

population practicing poultry farming are under SF/MF categories whose risk bearing

capacity is very less.

5.4. Sericulture

The agro-climatic condition of the district is suitable for sericulture. The activity is

specially practiced by the local people including SC/ST families in the district. Since

sericulture mainly involves women in rearing and spinning, it has great potential for

creating employment opportunities for them. Round 159 villages in the district are involved

in sericulture activities. The present status of development is as follows.

The silk and weaving industry of Assam is one of the traditional handicraft activities

which has generated employment and provided livelihood opportunities to people in the

14

district. It is the most important agro based cottage industry in the district in terms of

employment and income generating activities.

5. 5. Plantation and Horticulture

The district of Bongaigaon is under the North East Sub Tropical horticulture zone of

India. The district has favourable agro climatic conditions for the development of various

plantation and horticulture crops. However, the horticulture & plantation crops are generally

not grown on commercial scale in the district. Approximately 104454 farmers are involved

in growing horticulture crops. As per the estimates of PLP, NABARD 2006-07); the total

area under plantation and horticulture in the district is 18839 hectares. The district has high

potential for growth of citrus fruits, pineapple, areca nut, and medicinal and aromatic plants

besides rubber plantation.

5.6. Roads Infrastructure and Connectivity

5.6.1. Roads

The road density in the district per lakh population which stood at 79.4 km. in 1991

has increased to 109 km in 2005. Per sq. k.m road density in the district has increased from

25.5 k.ms. in 1991 to 39 kms. In 2005. the total road length in the district is 990 km of

which only 25% is surfaced.

5.7. Banking

Access to credit and banking facilities is an important indicator for socio-economic

development. The total number of reporting offices in the district stands at 38 which

comprises of SBI, SCB and OSCBs. The population coverage of banking services is

estimated to be 26,613 persons per bank office as per the number of offices in 2006. the

credit deposit number in the district ratio in the district which stands at 47.18% is much

lower than the stipulated norm of 60%.

5.8. Health and Educational establishments

The health infrastructure of the district includes 23 PHCs, 95 sub-centres and 10

dispensaries. The number of beds available in the government health institution is 90. the

district has a total of 25 birth and death registration centres. Thus every PHCs/Subcentre in

the district covers 6738 persons while number of beds is only 11 per one lakh population in

the rural areas of the district. The educational establishments of the district are shown in the

table below.

An estimate of the teacher pupil ratio in the district shows that for every 51 primary

students there is one teacher while in middle school the number of students is only 19 per

teacher. In high school and higher secondary the teacher student ratio stands at 11 students

per teacher. The high school student teacher ratio in the primary level is perhaps one reason

for high drop out rate from primary to middle level school. The density of primary school in

the district was estimated at 38 schools per sq. km. area in 2005.

5.9. Basic amenities

As per the records of Census of India 2001, the housing types in the district shows

that 18% live in permanent houses, 39% live in semi permanent and 43% occupy temporary

houses.

In respect of amenities in rural areas, there are facility wise variations. The total

number of census villages in Bongaigaon district is 917 as per 2001 Census while the total

number of inhabited villages in the district stands at 881. The population of the villages as

per Census 2001 is 795053 persons. The caste wise distribution of village population shows

that 10% of the village population belongs to SC while 13% belong to ST.

The census data for the district reveals that access to safe drinking water is available

in 99% of villages in the district. The connectivity status of the villages shows that 34% of

the villages have bus services. The census records on conditions of approach road shows

that 39% of villages have paved approach road while only 44% have mud approach roads.

The infrastructural gaps in the villages have a bearing upon the overall economic status of

the population and the employment scenario in the villages.

A casual analysis of the development deficiencies in the rural areas of the district

reveals that three major deficits in the rural areas are: connectivity-both physical and

telecommunication, education-secondary and vocational educational institutions and access

to credit particularly farm credit for investment. It may be noted that demand for investment

credit in agriculture is also adversely affected by low level of electricity consumption for

agricultural use in the villages. The deficit need critical intervention for synergizing the

growth process in the district.

CONCEPT PAPER

1. Introduction:

The Agricultural Engineering Sub-sectoral Plan for the ensuing three year Multi Sectoral

Development Plan (MSDP) for Development of Minority community in Bongaigaon district

envisages support to the growth of the minority community in the district in the crop husbandry

sector by increasing farm power availability from 0.5HP/Hact to national average level, increasing

trained manpower in farm machinery repairing manpower in the district, improving current STW

irrigation coverage and improving post harvest management of crops by promoting use of modern

storage methods which prolong the self life of agricultural produce. A modern cold storage plant is

planned to be constructed with an amount of Rs 200.00 lakhs under PPP (Public, Private and

Partnership model). A plan involving Rs.500.00 lakhs for the period 2008-09 to 2010-11 under the

two following prioritized projects , namely a) Farm Mechanisation Project with Farm Machinery

Training & b) Establishment of 2000 tonne capacity Cold storage plant, has been formulated with

this aim.

2. General Agricultural feature of the undivided Bongaigaon district

2.1 Agroclimatic condition: The district of Bongaigaon falls under Lower Brahmaputra

valley zone C based on variation in altitude. Against the total geographical area of 162840

hac, the undivided district has 102703 hactre cultivable land , out of which 39674 hac is

flood prone. The district is further divided into five different Agro ecological situation as

follows:

Table-12. The blockwise division of the district into different zones is as follows:

Land area (hac) Name of Block

Foot hill Flood prone Flood free Char Hills

Manikpur - 12617 15420 - -

Dangtol - 1206 16884 - 6030

Boitamari - 6020 7224 7224 3612

Sidli - - 19104 - -

Total 21353 39672 77570 12955 11284

2.2 Rain fall: The district receives average rainfall of around 3000 mm with about 140 days of

rainy days, mainly during the Kharif period of May-September. . But the spatial variation is

wide among the various sub agroclimatic areas. Borobajar & Sidli blocks on the Himalayan

25

border receive much lesser rainfall than the Srijongram & Tapattary blocks on the

Brahmaputra. During the Rabi period of Nov-April, the northern areas under Chirang

district are badly deficient in moisture & the other blocks also are moderately deficient in

rainfall.

2.3 Drought & Flood: The incidence of drought in the Kharif period was pronounced mild

in the year 2001, leading to destroyal of mainstay Sali paddy crop of 10% of the farm

families. Similarly severe flood occurred in the same season in 2004 & 2007 played havoc

with kharif agriculture affecting 48% farm families in Tapattary block, 40% in Boitamari ,

30% in Manikpur, 31% in Borobajar, 28% in Srijangram & 12% in Sidli block. (Data:

SREP, ATMA). This proves how much dependent, the farm sector on the mercy of the

nature.

2.4 Land based Agriculture system: Agriculture is the source of livelihood of 70% of the

rural population. Rice is the main crop of the district occupying 57% during Kharif & 43%

during the Rabi season. The other important crops are Wheat, Rape & mustard, Jute,

Sugarcane, vegetables, ginger, turmeric, cocnut , arecanut, pineapple, banana , jackfruit

2.5 Cropping System:. The common cropping system followed in the district are as follows:

Manikpurblock: a) Ahu-Sali b) Ahu-Pulses

1. Borobajar: a) Ahu-Sali b) Ahu-Pulses c) Ahu- Oilseeds

2. Dangtol: a) Ahu-Sali b) Sali-Wheat/oilseeds/pulses

3. Sidli: a) Ahu-Sali b) Sali- Oilseeds/pulses

4. Boitamari: a) Ahu-Sali b) Sali- Oilseeds/pulses c) Ahu- vegetables

5. Tapattary a) Ahu-Sali b) Jute- Sali c) Ahu-vegetables

6. Srijongram: a) Ahu-Sali b) Sali- Vegetables c) Sali-Oilseeds 2.5.1. Crop Production:

2.6.1 Soil Type: The soils of the district are mostly red, alluvial and mixed red. The soil texture is sandy loam to clay loam The soil is acidic in nature.

2.7 Operational Land holdings: Against total landholdings or farm families of 73, 832 nos

in the district, 66.14% are small & marginal having 74.8% of land under their possession). Big

farmers constitute 11.7% but they possess 25.2% of the land. There are 18,790 nos. of landless

families owning only 4087 hac of land.

2.8 Irrigation Status: 77% of the Net cultivable area is rainfed & only 23% is irrigated through

canal lift irrigation & STW.

3 Importance of Agricultural Engineering in Bongaigaon district:

Agricultural Engineering discipline plays an important supporting role to agricultural

production activities through Farm Mechanisation leading to increased availability of farmpower

to do quick succession of unit operations for double/triple cropping, e.g land preparation,

interculture operations, efficient application of water , seed & fertiliser, harvesting & post

harvesting operations like threshing, milling & storage. Prolonging the self life of perishable

agricultural commodity like vegetables & fruit require storage at cold temperature & controlled

humidity.

The table above shows that the nos. of tractors & powertillers available per village is very

low. As the nos. of operational irrigation systems are only around 10-12, STWs are providing

crucial irrigation support to Rabi crops. Here again, the nos of STW vailable per village is quite

low. NABARD has reported that the district should have 26000 nos. of STW to give agriculture

its full potential .

3.1 Identification of Critical Issues & Problems

Based on the data available with the department, the critical issues concerning agriculture

from the point of view of agricultural engineering are summarized below:

Low availability of Farm Power per hac cultivable land

a) Predominance of rainfed agriculture

b) Low nos. of STW available for Rabi crop irrigation & preponderance of diesel

driven pumpset leading to low income per Hac

c) Very low availability of 3 phase electric line in rural areas affecting the prospect of

use of electric motor driven pumpset for irrigation ( as 3 phase power supply is

required for electric motors above 3 HP)

d) In adequate agro processing facility & value addition

28

e) Non adoption of machinery for rice transplantation

f) Inadequate post harvest handling in vegetables & fruit

g) Lack of cold storage

3.2 SWOT Analysis of Agricultural Engineering Sub Sector:

Strength:

1)Abundant availability of ground water

2) Hardworking minority farmers , willing to take up challenges

3) Suitable climatic condition for fruit & vegetable cultivation

4) Diversified crops present for exploitation

5) Educated manpower available in rural areas

Weakness:

1)Low investment capacity of farmers to take bank loan for machinery

2) Very low nos. of trained mechanics

3) Lack of 3 phase electric line, low use of electricity in agriculture

4) moist soil prevent use of heavy machinery like combine harvester

5) Very less facility available for agro processing & vaddialuetion

Opportunity

1)Potential for setting up agro processing units

2) Unavailability of cold storage in nearby Goalpara & Barpeta

3) Very good communication facility due to rail & National highway

4) Trained manpower can take up provide self employment

5) Different types of agro clinics can come up & survive in largerly agrarian economy

Threat:

1) Flood & drought

2) Frequent bandhs affect supply of machinery in time

3) Erratic electric supply

4) Decreasing size of land holding

5) Presence of large nos. of landless farmers with low investment capacity

4 Existing Schemes of Agricultural Engineering:

The following schemes are in operation under the department:

a) Land Reclamation

b) Agricultural implements production

c) Microwatershed Management

d) Agro Service center : Quantum of plan fund available under these salary driven

schemes is very low. At present the following projects are running:

29

e) AACP: Farm Mechanisation project: provision of tractor & power tiller at 20: 30:50

basis to 10 & 5 member ASG/SHG respectively

f) AACP Irrigation project: provision of STW & LLP to 3-5 member ASG/SHGs at 50%

subsidy

g) AACP Land development Component: Microwatershed based small flow irrigation &

drainage projects at 70% subsidy.

h) AACP Market development project: Rural wholesale & Haatts at 80% subsidy

i) Provision of subsidized tractor & powertiller under State Priority Sector scheme, Assam

Bikash Yojana & Macromanagement mode of agriculture & Rashtriya Krishi Bikash

Yojana (RKVY)

5. Development Deficits of Minority Community Identified in Farm Mechanisation :

The baseline survey of the Omeo Kumar Das Institute of Social Change & Development clearly

states the following deficits among the minority community in undivided Bongaigaon district

a) Out of about 60000 rural minority households, as per survey 15% & as per departmental data

7000 own a pumpset which is a critical input tool for any agricultural family living in the

flood prone area.

b) 35% of minority households don’t possess any worthwhile tool for production

c) 67% possess a plough.

d) Only 15% of minority use tractor & 16% use power tiller for cultivation

e) Mechanised farm practice is low with low farm productivity

f) Machinery or engine repairing trained manpower among the minority is very low

g) The minority farming community is predominantly dependant on rainfall &

predominantly doing seasonal crop depending on traditional method of cultivation

h) Electricity in agriculture is only 15%

The baseline survey is clear that agriculture related services can raise income of farm

families & the dependant wage labourers.

5.1 Critical Gaps Identified:

The following critical gaps are identified for action

a) Farm Power availability has to be increased

b) Trained manpower availability in farm machinery repair

c) Use of electricity has to be increased

d) Perishable agricultural commodity has to be stored in cold storage

e) Agro processing has be encouraged for value addition

5.2 Goals Adopted to fill the Critical Gap

The following goals are set up to address:

a) Each minority village will have at least one power tiller

30

b) Each of 57 minority inhabited GP will have one farm machinery repair shop

c) Instead of use of 5.0 HP diesel pumpset , minority farmer Agri service Groups(ASG)

of all villages will be encouraged to use 2.0 HP electrical motor driven pumpset.

d) Agro processing of turmeric, chilli to be encouraged & modern packaging machinery

to be brought

e) A Freon Cold Storage of 2000 MT capacity to be built with help of Private sector

5.3 Strategy for Overcoming the Deficits:

The following two projects a) Farm Mechanisation & 2) Cold Storage Construction are planned

to be taken up under Multi Sector Development Plan for Minority during 2008-2011:

6. Brief details of the projects planned:

Project No 1. Farm Mechanisation Project with Machinery Training

This project is planned with a view to improve the availability of modern farm

machinery in minority areas from current level to a desired level at the end of year 2011. The

availability of trained manpower & workshops is planned to be addressed in a systematic manner

by establishing a Farm Machinery Training Centre at Bongaigaon where course curriculum is to

be adopted from the Central Farm Machinery Research & Training Centre , Biswanath Chariali.

Four nos of Farm processing units are planned under this scheme where SHGs will be

encouraged to process, package & market their produce in a modern fashion. The following

three components are placed with details:

6.A Component : Subsidy for Farm Machinery

Farm Mechanisation involves introduction and use of modern prime mover based

machines for all the sub processes of entire gamut of agricultural crop production like ploughing,

fine tilth preparation, sowing, and interculture operations like, weeding, fertilizer application,

harvesting, threshing and packaging for storage. Use of tractor and power tiller in the district is

limited mainly to soil preparation activity only. The district including Chirang has about 100 nos

tractors and 290 nos. power tillers apart from locally available bullocks to help prepare land for

cultivation. It is estimated that another 350 tractors and 700 power tillers will be necessary for

three crops per year use of the land for maximising agricultural production.

Zero tillage planters, tractor drawn harvesters and self propelled reapers, tractor drawn

land levellers, potato planters & diggers, rotavators etc. are new agricultural machinery which

need introduction in the district for use by the farmers. The following are the point wise

procurement for farm mechanization proposed under MSDP during the project period -

1) Procurement of powertiller 140 nos. at 50% subsidy with max. of 0.84 lakh

2) Procurement of sprayer 1200 nos. at 50% subsidy

3) Procurement of STW with electrical pumpset at 50% subsidy

4) Procurement of mechanized Paddy cutters at 75% subsidy

5) Procurement of manual equipments150 nos @0.02 lakh at 100% subsidy

6A.1 STW with Electrical Pumpset- The total cultivable area under the district is 1.03 lakh

hac under 660 villages in 5 blocks. Against this, under the Irrigation Department there are six

32

working DTW schemes providing 2408 Hac Net Irrigated Area (NIA). Agricultural Engineering

has constructed about 11,325 Shallow tube Wells(STW) with diesel driven pumpsets in the

undivided Bongaigaon district from 1989 to 2004. And under AACP program 1000 nos of STW

have been installed against target of 3000.

As per the survey report of OKDIDR, the ownership pattern of pumpset among minority

community is about 73%. It is estimated that against this 12,325 nos. of pumpsets in the district, about

8,4 00 nos i.e. 75% is owned by about 40,000 odd minority families in the district. Increase in both

rainfed Rabi crop area and irrigated land area is absolutely essential to produce more pulses, oilseeds

and cereals for achievement of a 2% growth rate in agriculture sector. Ownership of pumpset by 3-5

member group of minority families belonging to the BPL strata will help increase the Rabi crop area

as about 75% of the minority families live in flood prone areas. Actual field observation indicate to

need of eradication of following two prominent constraints:

1) The lower strata of minority is still unable to own pumpset due to the maximum limit of

10000/- per STW prescribed by the World Bank.

2) Almost zero use of electricity in irrigation & the resultantly high input cost of diesel &

kerosene is reducing the per Hac income of farmers to a very low level

Hence emphasis on water use efficiency by using sprinkler irrigation set in Char areas is

required. Moreover, there is a need to shift to electric motor driven pumpset as per situational

feasibility ( use of 2 HP motor in case of single phase line & above 3 HP motor in case of

3 phase power line) is the need of the hour. The following two components are proposed to be

implemented under MSDP:

Provision of electrical pumpsets for STW Irrigation- It is proposed to take up 3000 nos.

additional STWs under MSDP during the period 2008-09 to 2010-11 to bring another 3600 hac

under irrigation in the minority in habitated areas. It is expected that 2000 nos. of STW will be

additionally provided to minority areas under currently running (2004-2010 AACP program.

Taking the NABARD approved unit cost of Rs 0.29 lakh per STW, a total amount of Rs 435.00

lakh will be required against total cost of Rs.870.00 lakh. Against the unit cost of Rs 29000.00 ,

the selected Agril Service Group of 3-5 farmers will have to bear Rs 14,500.00.

6. B. Farm Processing Component :

Post harvest processing of spice crops like chilli, turmeric, ginger etc produced in he

minority areas require unit operations like threshing, drying, winnowing, storage and packaging

locally for value addition. This will help the future efforts of farmers to grow more, in diversified

items and in a sustained manner. Secondary processing of food items is of industrial nature.

Hence, keeping in view of the possible growth of primary agricultural growth of about 2% in next

FYP, specially in minority areas, it is proposed to take up measures which enhance the capacity

of the farming organizations like FMCs, primary cooperatives, Bajar committees etc. to buy spice

products like Onion, Turmeric, Chilli etc from the farmers, do primary processing on it and sell

it for market consumption in packaged form . The following items are proposed under this

component

6.B.a).Onion Dehydrator Unit : 5 nos. of onion dehydration unit s are proposed to be set up

@Rs2.25 lakh each in Srijongram , Tapattary , Manikpur, Dangtol & Bijni blocks. The amount

of Rs 2.0 lakh will take care of the plant & machinery part & Rs 0.25 lakh will be spent for

training. Eligible SHG/FMCs will have to link with a commercial bank for working capital . The

SHG will have to arrange the house of the unit.

6.B.b) Turmeric Grinding Unit : Similarly 5 nos. of turmeric grinding & packaging units are

proposed to be established in turmeric growing areas of Dangtol & Manikpur block. The amount

of Rs 2.0 lakh will take care of the plant & machinery part & Rs 0.25 lakh will be spent for

training. Eligible SHG/FMCs will have to link with a commercial bank for working capital . The

SHG will have to arrange the housing of the unit.

6.B.c) Chilli Processing Unit : One no. of chilli drying units is proposed to be established in chilli

growing areas of Srijangram block . The amount of Rs 2.0 lakh will take care of the plant &

machinery part & Rs 0.25 lakh will be spent for training. Eligible SHG/FMCs will have to link with

a commercial bank for working capital . The SHG will have to arrange the housing of the unit.

In view of the set target as above, the following components are planned :

6.C.a Establishment of District Farm Machinery Training Center - Introduction of

large nos. of new rural machines will require trained manpower to operate, maintain and repair

these machines. It is proposed to establish one training center at Bongaigaon under the

Department in the District agriculture Office campus or any other plot of land prescribed by DC,

Bongaigaon. Implementation of the same will require about Rs.12.0 lakhs for the civil works &

8.0 lakh towards machinery. The detailed project report will be submitted on receipt of approval

from the Govt.

6.C.b Rural Mechanics Training- As shown in the survey report, the availability of

mechanical skills among youth of minority community is very low. Even for minor repairing of

powertiller & tractor , farmers have to run to Barpeta Road town for mechanic. It will be

attempted to train 1000 nos. of rural youths @ Rs 1000.00 per trainee the amount being spent for

training material, food & to & fro charges. . The training will be conducted by the department in

collaboration with ITI & company concerned & in repair and maintenance of agricultural

machinery like diesel engine, kerosene engine, tractor, power tiller & electrical pumpset It will

cost Rs.10.00 lakhs for the period. The detailed project report will be submitted on receipt of

approval from the Govt.

6.C.c Incentive to Rural Mechanics to open self employment workshop : 20 nos. of

selected & trained youths will be provided with lumpsum assistance of Rs 20,000.00 each to

open Rural workshops in various rural centres where this facility is not available at present. This

will entail an amount of Rs 4.0 lakhs. The detailed project report in consultation with local ITI etc.

will be submitted on receipt of approval from the Govt.

BRIEF PROJECT PROPOSAL ON CONSTRUCTION OF COLD

STORAGE IN MANIKPUR BLOCK. 1. Introduction

Cold storage is one of the major infrastructure lacking in the district of Bongaigaon.

NABARD has identified that lack of storage facilities for excess quantity of perishable

agricultural product like pineapple, mango, orange, jackfruit and different types of vegetables is

creating problems for the farm producers community. The quantum of excess vegetables

produced and traded in the Manikpur and Borobazar blocks has been identified as the main basis

for establishment of a cold storage of about 2000 metric ton capacity. All the vegetable and fruit

farmers especially, for the minority community will be able to abstract benefit out of the project

with this. The self life of the produce can be extended.

2. Objective of the Project

Though Bongaigaon is traditionally a agrarian one, the farmers are not able to produce

up to their potential capacity due to inability to prolong self life of vegetables & fruits. They

require a controlled atmosphere to keep their produce natural with freshness for about 100 days

time. The objectives of the proposed Cold Storage are:-

1. To avoid wastage of perishable agricultural commodities.

2. To provide incentives to the farmers to produce up to maximum capacity.

3. To avoid distress sale of their produces particularly during peak season.

4. To provide maximum returns to the farmers compared to their investment in the

production of horticultural produces.

36

5. To motivate farmers to produces more perishable commodities since the Cold storage is

available for their producers.

6. To generate more employment in the respective district as well as neighboring districts

of Bongaigaon.

2.1.A) Background of the Project : - The climatic condition, land type and topography, soil

condition etc. being highly congenial for the practice of various kinds of crops and vegetables

throughout the year, the productions and yield of crops are significantly high.

The region itself is the major grower of vegetables like potatoes, chilies, peas, brinjals,

cauliflower, cabbage, spices like ginger, turmeric, bay leaves, black leaves, black pepper, and

fruit oranges, pineapple, passion, fruits, guava, palm etc.

Preservation by cooling and enhancing the life of perishable fruits and vegetables in

organized sector to get proper value of produces, would contribute to the economic growth and

industrialization.

Availability of perishable fruits and vegetables becomes abundance during its harvesting

seasons and currently has sold at very cheap rates by the farmers of the District. As a result, the

farmers cannot realize its value and incur losses and finally get discouraged. At present, there is

no cold storage available in the district where the perishable fruits and vegetables can be

preserved and bring to the market when its harvesting season is over and farmers can realize its

proper value in order to make agricultural business a profitable business out of their own

products.

(B) Location

(i) Proposed project site selection in Manikpur block on NH 31 between Patiladoha &

Rakhaldubi

(ii) Assessment of Environmental impact on the Project site: - The project site selection is to

be away from major human habitat. Further, it does not cause any environmental pollution.

As such, obtaining clearance from Pollution Control Board is not necessary.

(iii) Availability of Cold Storage in nearby areas: One cold storage is in final stage at

Kokrajhar. Another one is coming up at Kajalgaon. Barpeta & Goalpara have no cold storage

facility.

(C) Description on Initiative of the Proposed Project :-The proposed Cold storage of 600 m2

will be equipped with sufficiently spaced Truck yard, unloading bay, screening and grading

rooms, security check post and their change cum rest room, Office room with Bank facilities and

an auction yard. Specious internal road for the movement of vehicle bringing materials for the

storage and auction shed for auction, parking place for the visitors vehicles also have to be

incorporated in the report.

37

Staff quarter with Gr. IV staff along with garage and water facilities are also kept in the

project.

Provision for storage of water and electric power back – up for uninterrupted power

supply is to be made by providing a diesel Generator of 340 KVA. For cold storage. Provision of

boundary Walls, Streetlights and amenities for public utilities, and proper drainage facilities.

(D) Technology : The proposed Cold Storage is planned as a multi commodity cold storage with

2000 MT capacity comprises of four chambers to be maintained at a temperature of 2° C to 8 ° C

using Freon Refrigerant. This technology being new is commonly used in many new and

renowned Cold Storage in India, now a days.

This technology for Cold Storage was developed after studying the requirement of the

storage temperature of perishable commodities. Carrier/ Fedders/ KIRLOSKAR COMPRESSOR

“KC” series having guarantee and durable for longer period with maintenance is proposed in the

Project Report.

(E) Management Arrangement:- It is proposed in the Project report that the Cold Storage will

be set up under the management of PPP (private public partnership). It is proposed that the

Assistant Executive Engineer (Agri.), Bongaigaon, of the Department of Agriculture, Assam will

be the nodal Officer for implementation of the Project.

Detailed estimates are enclosed in Annexure I, II & III respectively”.

39

(F) Financial and Economic Analysis: -The farmers & traders of Horticultural crops of the

Districts are willing to extend their cooperation to utilize these facilities proposed to be created.

It is estimated that 2000 MT of potatoes and chilies etc contained in 24000 bags each of 85 kg

will be made available for storage for one season of crop, remaining period, milk and its product

& other vegetables like peas, fruits like oranges, spices like ginger, turmeric, black pepper,

coriander will be stored. As a result, whole year there will be crops available for the Cold

Storage.

Income from the Project: In the proposed project, the realization out of potato and chilies rent has been considered.

The prevailing rate of potatoes & chilies per bag of 85 kg is Rs. 80/bag/season of 3-4 months,

and for extension of storage period for another season will be at half rate i.e. Rs. 40/bag. These

rates are very reasonable which the farmers can afford and by charging these rates the operator

will earn a reasonable profit. On the other hand the grower and the traders will also be benefited

out of this Project.

Fixed Expenses:-

(i) Electricity Bill

(ii) Salaries to Manager & operator/Chowkider

(iii) Insurance on Plants & Machineries, Building etc

(iv) Expenses on publicity & advertisements etc

(v) Running expenses of Machineries on fuel, salt, oil & gas etc.

(vi) Repair & maintenance, which will vary every year

(vii) Expenses on Telephone Bill

(viii) Legal expenses

(ix) Depreciation on plants & Machineries and Building every year

On the other hand, the income will generated out of the products stored in the Cold

Storage, rent on Auction Shed & Bank facilities and reimbursement of Electricity Bill from the

Govt.

The detailed Financial Analysis with calculation on internal rate of return(IRR), break-even

point etc. of the project will be formulated after Expression of Interest is float from interested

Private Partners & their private equity participation.

(G) Post- Implementation Management issues Relating to the Subsidy :- Setting up of a new

Cold storage or expansion of the existing one requires permission from the State Government

through the Director of Horticulture, Marketing Assam. On completion of the Project, Factory

40

License is provided on furnishing the completion reports. The concerned Department/

Organization normally do operation and maintenance of the Project.

The proposed Cold Storage will be a new one to the Bongaigaon area, since there is no

Cold Storage installed earlier in the area. The operation & maintenance of the Project will be

done by the private operator through the Department of Agriculture. The Private operator will

have to bring in promotional contribution and working capital requirement from a commercial

bank. In lieu P.O. will provide lease rental to the Govt. A detailed EOI will be called shortly to

invite proposals.

There is ample of opportunities for marketing facilities of the stored products at

Guwahati, Tezpur, Tura, Dimapur & other oil towns etc. Considering the quantum of inflow of

goods to be stored and the availability of marketing facilities, it is certain that the Project will be

self sustainable in future.

(H) Return of Investment:- It is estimated that out of spending an amount of 240.00 Lacs,

including private participation of 40.0 lakh, the return will start from the successive year and

will continue to rise every year. All expenses, depreciations of the machineries maintenance etc

the pay back period is calculated to be 7 years, which is considered to be a viable project.

(I) Means of Finance & Sources of Fund: - The project investment is proposed from MSDP

scheme. National Horticulture Board will be approached for 33% subsidy (Max. 66 lakh)

C. AGRICULTURE MARKETING 1. Introduction

The district is predominantly an agricultural district, where more than 80% population are

farmers. The percentage is a bit higher in minority community. Due to economic hardship as well as very low land holding, they cannot afford for costlier technology of modern agriculture. Even though the district is gradually up taking the recently developed practices in agriculture. At present the district is producing about 75054 MT of food grains, 36241 MT of fruits, 58929 MT of kharif and Rabi vegetables and 16765 MT of different spices. Most of the horticulture produce get damaged very soon due to lack of cold storage and adequate market sheds in the rural hats, farmers are compelled to go for distress sale during peak harvest season. Moreover, they are being exploited by the middleman as well as consumers.

Agriculture marketing can play a vital role to overcome those troubles by organizing sufficient numbers of Growers Committees, who can look after all the operations involved in the movement of the produce from the field to the consumer. It includes the handling of product at farms, initial processing , grading and packing in order to maintain quality and to check wastage.

At present the district has nearly 45 nos. of rural markets. Agriculture growers societies have been constituted in some pockets also. But due to lack of some basic needs they are not performing properly. The department is also not capable of assisting them with regular budgetary provision. Ongoing Schemes:

a. Scheme for development of marketing of fruits and vegetables (State Plan). b. Scheme for development of rural market ( State Plan). c. Scheme for development of market intelligence (State Plan).

Impact of existing schemes: a. Few farmers are gaining more profit by marketing through organized marketing

societies, Growers Societies. b. Due to development of rural markets, the growers are gradually becoming more market oriented.

There is need to construct “Market sheds” in some Rural Markets of minority area.

Marketing Problems: The basic problems which need attention are - a. Market density. b. Enactment of market legislation. c. Market infrastructure. d. Organized Marketing. e. Processing facility. f. Storage facility. g. Market information. h. Post harvest. i. Domestic market.

2. Proposed intervention under Multi Sectoral Development Plan 2.1. Development of rural market- Construction of Market shed :

It is proposed to construct 8 nos. of market sheds in 8 rural markets where no market shed

facility is available. The scheme will be implemented in three years. Proposed Fund allocation

under Govt. share is Rs. 5.0 lakh per shed and beneficiary share will be Rs. 1.0 lakh at (20%) total

fund requirement Rs. 48.0 lakh where Govt. share will be Rs. 40 lakh for 8 Market sheds. Target

will be adjusted accordingly.

CONCEPT PAPER

Name of Scheme

Construction of dwelling houses with Low–cost Sanitary Latrine and Hand-Tube well

for the beneficiary of Minority Communities Boangaigaon District. (2000 unit @ Rs. 35,000/-

per unit)

1. Socio –economic feasibility with justification :

As per the records of census of India 2001, the housing types in the district of

Bongaigaon shows that 18% live in permanent house, 39% live in semi permanent and 43% in

temporary houses. The base line survey conducted by the “Omeo Kumar Das Institute for Social

Changes & Development, Guwahati, Assam” indicates that housing is a major developmental

deficiency in the district due to poor coverage of IAY and hence a provision of 2000 nos. of

dwelling houses is proposed for the beneficiary of the minority communities.

2. Critical gap:

In housing sector, National programme like IAY gives coverage only 15% in

construction of dwelling houses for the minorities. On looking into holistic approaches of the

minorities dwelling much more attention is needed for construction of more houses for giving

coverage to more house hold along with amenities like safe drinking water and sanitation etc

3. Goal and strategy:

Our goal and strategies are too obvious in improving Socio economic parameters by

providing a dwelling house with basic amenities like safe drinking water, sanitation etc. Though

minority families who are residing in a temporary house, they are to be given priority, our goal

may be 100% coverage of those minority families having not a single permanent house but our

step would be at present 2000 houses to be provided under this Multi-sectoral Development

Programme (MSDP) for minorities.

4. Out come and benefit:

Out effort may not lead us to spectaculars strict in the area of minority development but

it undoubtedly uplift the Socio-economic condition of the minority communities including a

better sanitated life.

5. Milestone:

Providing 2000 houses to the minorities in this district after successful implementation of

the programme would become first milestone of monitories development.

CONCEPT PAPER

Bongaigaon District of Assam has been identified as minority concentration district during

a fresh exercise based on population figures and the following backwardness parameters of 2001

Census:

(a) religion – specific, socio – economic indicators at the district level:

(i) literacy rate;

(ii) female literacy rate;

(iii) work participation rate;

(iv) female work participation rate; and

(b) basic amenities indicators at the district level:

(i) percentage of households with pucca walls;

(ii) percentage of households with safe drinking water;

(iii) percentage of households with electricity; and

(iv) percentage of households with water closet latrines.

The Public Health Engineering Department of Assam being the line Department for taking

up the matters relating to the point Nos. (ii) & (iv) of (b) has the responsibilities of giving due

attention for submission of the plan accordingly.

Regarding the households with water closet latrines, it may be mentioned here that, a

project, viz: Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC), is in force for the entire district, where all the BPL

families of the district have been proposed to cover by providing one low cost latrine to each

families with a subsidy of 80% from the Central and State Govt. funds, besides covering all APL

families under the project. Also, it has been aimed that all the Schools and Anganwadi Centres shall

be covered within 2009. so, the department has not proposed any woks for sanitation.

Regarding the households with safe drinking water, it has been observed that although

water sources are provided in different times to different localities as per Govt. norms under

different programmes, but it does not seems to be adequate in practical field, which have been

mentioned in the report by the expert agency. Also the existing sources are in non-functional stage

due to improper maintenance by the users. So, the proposal for providing with Singur Hand Pumps

to the entire district @ 1 No. Singur hand Pump per 250 population of the minority population, for

the entire district has been prepared which shall uplift the water supply scenario of the district in

general and minority population in particular, which have been identified as minority district.

60

Keeping in view the fact that all the households of the district are supplied with safe

drinking water upgrading the disadvantageous minorities, it has been proposed to install 847Nos. of

Singur Hand Pumps in all the Gaon Panchayats with minority population within the district.

There are all total 65 Nos. of Gaon Panchayats in the newly created district of Bongaigaon

in Assam, and depending upon the population pattern the proposal has been formulated so that all

concerned should get the benefit of safe drinking water. And it has been seen that minority

communities are spread over 47 Nos. of GP. So the proposal has been prepared accordingly.

All the existing P.R.I.s have been consulted regarding the proposal and all of them have

consented over the matter. They also assured to bear all the maintenance cost to be born for

maintaining the created assets.

The entire project has been target to be completed by 2010-11 and for that year wise

physical and financial break-up have been made and enclosed with this project.

It is also presumed that after installing these sources in the district the critical gap in respect

to safe drinking water in the district shall be minimized specially with reference to the

disadvantageous minorities.

It shall be worth mentioning here that, the sources proposed in the district shall be

technically feasible and viable for the entire district.

The cost of 1 (one) number of Singur Hand Pump is Rs. 0.177 Lakh and therefore the total

cost of the project, which consists of 847 Nos. of Singur Hand Pumps, shall be 150.00 Lakh. The

estimate for this purpose has been prepared by this department following the latest schedule of rates

which is for the year 2008-09.

1. SOCIO ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY WITH JUSTIFICATION:

The inhabitants of Bongaigaon District are mainly cultivators and some of course, are

businessmen and very limited are service holder. So, the main lively hood of the district is

cultivation. Social status of the rural as well as the urban peoples are not up to the mark and they

are very simple in nature. The minorities are spread over around the district in all the areas. The

social status of the minorities in particular are not up to the mark and to uplift them up to the mark

the multi sectoral development plan shall play a vital role in the coming days.

2. CRITICAL GAP:

1) Almost all the minorities population in the district are facing immense problem for their

safe drinking water. Although in past some water supply arrangements have been made by

the Govt., due to lack of maintenance facilities those sources are lying non-functional for

years together. Moreover, there seems to be no organized water supply facilities in and

61

around the areas of the minority concentration. So, they very much feel the necessity of

safe drinking water. Keeping in view the above need the proposal for installation of Singur

Hand Pumps in the minority dominated areas of the district have been prepared, which

shall be feasible in the district. The reason for selection of Singur Hand Pumps is that, the

maintenance cost of a Singur Hand Pump is very less. The Singur Hand Pumps have been

proposed to be provided @ 1 No. Pump per 150 minority population and it is hoped that

this shall minimize their long standing grievances pertaining to safe drinking water. This

shall also reduce the critical gap which has been developed among the minority community

in respect of the safe drinking water.

3. GOAL & STRATEGIES:

1) The main goal of the project is to provide safe drinking water to all the masses of the

minorities within the district.

2) The strategy for implementation of the project shall be formulated as per prevailing APWD

Rule.

4. OUTCOME & BENEFIT :

1) The provision of such Singur Hand Pumps among the minority communities shall fulfill

their need for safe drinking water and also these shall develop the health scenario of the

masses which shall ultimately help in developing the nation as a whole.

5. MILESTONE:

1) The entire project has been proposed to be completed within three years time frame, viz:

2008-09, 2009-10 & 2010-11. The details of the year wise phasing has been enclosed with

the project.

6. APPROXIMATE COST OF THE PROJECT & YEAR WISE TARGET:

1) The total cost of the project has been estimated as Rs. 150.00 Lakh. The year wise phasing

are, 2008-09 = Rs. 47.082 Lakh for 266 Nos Singur Hand Pumps, 2009-10 = 59.472 Lakh

for 336 Nos Singur Hand Pumps & 2010-11 = 43.365 Lakh for 245 Nos Singur Hand

Pumps.

7. PRIVATE INVESTMENT PARTICIPATION:

1) As the minorities in the district are economically very backward, so the beneficiary’s

contribution in the project has not been considered.

62

8. LAND AVAILABILITY:

1) For installation of the Singur hand Pumps in different localities within the district, land

shall be made available by the beneficiaries.

9. INTENDED BENEFICIARIES:

1) Mostly all the minorities over 37 Nos. of G.Ps. of the district has been targeted as

beneficiaries.

10. DURATION OF THE PROJECT:

1) The Project has been estimated to be completed within 2010-11, if everything goes right.

11. IMPLEMENTING AGENCY:

1) Public Health Engineering Department being the line department for the job, shall be

implementing agency.

12. EXISTING & PROPOSED MECHANISM FOR IMPLEMENTATION:

1) The PHE department has sufficient mechanism for implementation of the project.

13. MANAGEMENT / OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF ASSETS CREATED:

1) Operation and maintenance of the assets so created shall be done by the beneficiaries.

CONCEPT PAPER

1. Socio Economic Feasibility with Jurisdiction: - Keeping in view of M.S.D Plan, we

have spotted two areas namely village Dhaknabari and Baghpara which are inhabited by

Muslim and Christian Communities respectively, whose primary source of lively-hood is

agriculture. It is found that there is no any irrigation systems in the areas for which

cultivators are fully dependable on monsoon rain for growing crops. As such their

economic conditions are not sound. So, two irrigation schemes are proposed to improve

their cultivation system and thus to improve their economic conditions.

2. Critical Gap:- At present, the existing stream water found in the areas have not been

utilized in irrigation purpose. After completion of the scheme, the stream water will be

fully utilized for irrigation purpose for growing multiple crops.

3. Goal and Strategies: - Our aim is to provide irrigation facilities to the down trodden

cultivators by constructing boulder weir over river lets. These will create community

assets by means of which the cultivators will be able to raise the production of multiple

crops.

4. Out come and benefits: - At present, the cultivators use to grow only Sali crops

depending upon rain water and production rate is very low and irregular. On

implementation of the proposed scheme, the food productions could be improved by

growing multiple crops.

5. Mile Stones: - The schemes will improve the economic condition of the farmers by

increasing food productions.

6. Approximate Cost of the Project: - Rs. 1.30 crores (as per ANNEXURE-I and

ANNEXURE-II)

CONCEPT PAPER

1. Socio-economic feasibility with justification :

The Bongaigaon district falls under the Brahmaputra river basin. The district has large

nos. of water resources in the form of Beel Fisheries, Dead River, Low-lying Areas, Community

Tanks and Private Ponds. The Brahamaputra and its tributaries of Aie and Manas is also regarded

as the main fishery resources. The District has 5 nos. of registered Beel Fishery and about 79 nos.

of unregistered beel fisheries, covering a water area of 1850.00 Ha . The biggest beel is having

water area of 818.00 Ha and the rest are small minimum of which is 0.50 Ha. The district has

about 7121 Nos. of private pond having water area of 801.10 Ha. There are about 195 nos. of

Community Tank with a water area of 93.62 Ha. At present there are 3 nos. of Hatchery in the

district , out of which 1 no is producing fish seed and the rest 2 nos. will start production from

next season. The Fish production from all resources in the district is 4915.00 MT. The nutritional

demand of fish in the district is 6319 MT. So, there is a wide gap between production and

demand.

Out of the total fish production 1602.00 MT(approx) comes from private ponds and tanks

which is about 33 % of total production. The nos. of private ponds in the minority area is more ,

approximately it is 60 %. So , 60 % of production of cultured fishery comes from minority area.

But, regarding capture fishery the picture is quite different. Most of the natural resources

are out side the minority area. The natural resources in the minority area are Dead River, Low

lying area, small beel which are lying almost unutilized. If this water bodies are reclaimed/

converted to ideal fishery by constructing embankment, providing outlet /inlet, this will produce

quite a large nos. of fish which will enhance the fish production of the district. The fish

production will uplift the socio economic condition of the locality. During implementation of the

project, a large no of rural employment will be created which will also contribute to uplift the

socio economic condition of the minority area.

2. Critical Gap :

The natural resources in the minority area are under developed and as such production is

not as expected.

The Fish farmers of the area are also not aware of scientific fish culture. Most of the

farmers are poor and they are not in a position to provide the required inputs in the pond . So,

they culture fish in traditional way as a result of which they do not get the expected production.

More over, they are also not aware of the fishery rules and acts. One of the main problem in fish

culture is availability quality fish seed. Quality fish seed plays a very vital role in fish production.

So, it is necessary to give more importance on quality fish seed. In minority area there is no any

hatchery at present.

101

To over come this gap it is necessary to develop the natural resources of the minority

area, to make aware the fish farmers by providing training on pisciculture, arranging awareness

camp and constructing Eco- Hatchery in the suitable minority area. Importance has been given in

the Multi Sectoral Development Plan in this respect.

3. Goal and Strategies :

The Goal of the Multi Sectoral Development Plan in Fishery Sector is to develop the

resources of the area, uplifting the Socio Economic condition of the locality and create

employment generation, create awareness about scientific fish culture and fishery Rules and

Assam Fish Seed Act, to provide quality fish seed and at the same time enhancement of fish

production.

To achieve this goal following strategies has been taken up.

i. To develop the available beels and dead river.

ii.. To construct Community Tank.

iii. To reclaim the community Tank

iv. To construct Eco Hatchery.

v. To construct tank of SHGs.

vi . To train up the fish farmers

vii. Create awareness amongst the people about Fishery Acts & Rules.

4. Outcome and benefit :

The production of the natural resources at minority area is very meagre ,which is 50.00

kg to 100.00 kg per ha. After development, if proper care is taken up , production will go upto

more than 1000.00 kg / ha.

At present, the average production of the private ponds are 2000.00 kg / Ha . It can be

raised to 3500.00/4000.00 kg / ha by providing training. At the same time supply of quality fish

seed from the hatchery will play a very important role in fish production.

5. Milestone :

If the strategies proposed are achieved it will be considered as a milestone in respect of

production in the minority area.

6. Approximate cost of Project:

The approximate project cost of the proposed schemes are enclosed. The approximate

cost of the projects for 3 years is Rs.100.00 Lakhs.

7. Year wise Physical & Financial Target :

Year wise physical and financial target is enclosed.

102

8. Private investment participation :

There is no any private investment participation.

9. Project Location :

The project will be located Block/GP minority area.

10. Land availability :

Land is available for the proposed project.

11. Intended Beneficiary :

The villagers surrounding the beel/ dead river, Community tank will be the beneficiary

of the scheme. In case of tanks of SHG , the members of the SHG will be the beneficiary. The

workers engaged in the development work are also considered as beneficiary of the project.

12. Duration of the Project :

The duration of the project is 3(three) years.

13. Implementing Agency :

The Fishery Department is the implementing agency.

14. Management /Operation and maintenance of assets created :

Almost all the projects proposed are community based. After completion of the

development work of the project, the projects will be handed over the local committee and the

committee will be responsible for management of the project. Departmental officer will be

member of the committee. Technical guidance for management will be provided by the

department.

15. Schemes proposed :

In the Multi Sectoral Development Plan for Minorities of the district following schemes

has been proposed for up lifting the socio economic condition of the minorities at the same time

enhancement of fish production of the district.

15.1. Development of Beel Fisheries/ Dead River : Most of the beels are lying

unutilized, infested with heavy aquatic weeds. Fish production in the beels are very negligible. It

ranges from mere 50.00 to 100.00 kg / ha. But this beels can be converted to ideal fishery by

clearing the infested weeds, construction of perimeter bundhs , stocking of fish seed ,

implementing fishery rules etc. Production of fish may be raised to 1000.00 Kg / ha/ year.

At the same time a large nos of employment will be generated.

Like beel fisheries, the dead rivers are also a good source of fish production . But dead

rivers are also at present lying unutilized and fish production is very meagre. These can be

converted to ideal fishery by construction of embankment , construction of outlet – inlet ,

103

clearing of aquatic weed , stocking of fish seed. There are some dead river having patta land.

This can also be developed by constituting fishery co-operative society by the patta holders. It

has been proposed to develop 15.00 Has of Beel Fisheries/Dead River during the plan period. At

the time of implementing the scheme, a large nos of rural employment will be generated.

15.2. Construction of Community Tank : Construction of village community tank can

be taken up to raise the socio economic condition of the village people. At the same time fish

production of the district will also be raised. It has been proposed to construct community tank

of 3.00 Has water area .

15.3. Development of Community Tank : The Community Tanks of the villages are in

a dilapidated condition . These can be developed /renovated for better use and for more fish

production. It has been proposed to develop community tank of 5.00 ha water area in the plan

period.

15.4. Consturction of Eco Hatchery : To meet the demand of quality fish seed of the

fish farmers of the district, it has been proposed to establish at least 2 nos of Mini Eco Hatchery

The hatchery will produce quality fish seed and at the same time employment will be generated .

The management of the hatchery will be given to the SHG of the locality. Training and technical

know how will be provided by the department to the SHG.

At present there are only 3 nos. of hatchery in the district . Out of these 2 nos in pvt.

Sector and 1 no. is in govt. sector. Out of 2 nos. of pvt. sector, one hatchery is operating well and

other will start operating in next season.

15.5. Construction /Renovation of Tank of SHG/Integrated Fish Culture : There are

some fishery SHG running with small sized tanks . Fishery tanks may be constructed for the

SHGs having their own land . This will generate more income to the SHGs. It has been proposed

to cover 3.00 Has of water area in 3 years. It is also proposed to take up a project on integrated

fish farming in one community tank.

15.6. Training : It is proposed to train up the beneficiaries of the above mentioned

schemes along with other non beneficiary fish farmers.. It is proposed to take up training

programme of 5 days duration to train the fish farmers . It is proposed to train up 400 nos fish

farmers in 3 years. Stipend will be provided at the time of training.

15.7. Awareness Camp : Most of the farmers at present taking up fish culture in

traditional way. Also most of the people are not aware of the fishery Acts and Rules. So, it has

been proposed to hold 10 no. Awareness Camps in the district at various places to make people

aware about scientific fish culture, conservation of fish and fisheries, Assam Fishery Rules and

Assam Fish Seed Act.

An amount of Rs.100.00 Lakhs has been proposed for the Multi Sectoral Development

Plan for the Minorities for a period of 3 years for 2008-11.

CONCEPT PAPER

1. INTRODUCTION :

Animal Husbandry plays a very vital role in Socio-Economic development of rural

people as well as creats Self Employment opportunity to rural Youth & women folks. The

modern scientific Piggery, Goatery, Dairy, Poultry & Duckery farming provides ample scope for

upliftment of rural economy to the people living below poverty line. On the other hand

adoption of livestock and poultry farming with modern technology will enhance the production

of Vet commodities and thereby fulfill to some extent the demand of milk, meat & eggs for

human consumption.

Livestock sector plays a crucial role in rural economy & livelihood. The prolificacy of

Goat,Pig and poultry are the influencing factors. The returns are quick , losses if any recovers

soon and the poor can afford it. This sector plays vital role in providing nutritive food, rich in

animal protein to the public and in supplementing family incomes particularly among the

landless, small marginal farmers.

Animal Husbandry provides additional employment avenues to the rural people

specially woman folks who manage the livestock in the household and thereby uplift economic

status in the family.

The entire project amounting to Rs.150.00 lakhs will be implemented during the period

of 5 years i.e. 2007-2012. Location of the project and selection of beneficiaries are to be done

in Minority concentrated area of the Bongaigaon district of Assam amongst the SHG of

unemployed youth and women folks.

The District Administration in collaboration with A.H. & Veterinary Deptt. of the

District will be the sole implementing agency to implement the entire project, Where as the

management and maintenance of assets will be made by the beneficiaries concerned.

CONCEPT PAPERCONCEPT PAPER 1. INTRODUCTION :

Modern and scientific approach to dairy farming not only helps in increasing the per capita

availability of milk but also take part as a major tool for socio-economic upliftment of the rural

masses, who belong to the poorer section of the society. Keeping this in view Dairy

Development, Govt of Assam, along with Central Government has been taking up various

projects and schemes like Assam Agricultural Competitiveness Project (AACP), Integrated Dairy

Development Project (IDDP) Phase-I & Phase-II, Milk Village Scheme and other collaborative

projects with the other state departments or with the financial institutions. But unfortunately none

of these projects or schemes have been undertaken in Bongaigaon district.

Therefore under the above circumstances for growth and increase of milk production

along with the creation of it’s processing facilities viz-a- viz to uplift the economic status of rural

population for the district, a project proposal is prepared to be implemented under Multi Sectoral

development plan for improvement of the quality of Minority people targeting vigorously the

welfare of each Minority household and villages during 11th five year plan.

2. SOCIO ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY :

As the economy of Bongaigaon district is of an Agrian one, according to the baseline

survey conducted by Omio Kumar Das Institute of Social Change and Development, Guwahati,

43% of the total rural population in the district belongs to Muslims but the share of the

community in the work force is only 37% which indicates that 73% of the Muslims are without

any work. Further the share of female workers in the total rural female population in Bongaigaon

District is 21% while the same for Muslims is only 10%. Therefore the discrepancy in work

participation is more pronounced for rural Muslim women in the district.

It indicates in the baseline survey that 66% of the total land holding in the districts are

less than one hectare which shows that most of the farmers have land holdings sizes less than

marginal class size. With the increase population rate of 24.77% among the Muslim population,

land becoming scare to cover more crop areas for agriculture production because land could not

be expanded horizontally; rather it is depleting day-by-day for various purposes other than

agriculture. Moreover, the yield of the most of the hybrid crops is saturated to their optimum

point beyond which it’s production may not be possible to increase.

Therefore, among the allied sector Animal Husbandry especially Dairying is the most

promising proposition next to agriculture which could absorb the unemployed and

underemployed people of this vast Muslim work force of the rural areas.

122

In National scenario the Indian Dairy Industry acquires a substantial growth which has

not only placed the Dairy Industry first in the World but also represents sustained growth in

availability of Milk and Milk products for the burgeoning population of the country. Most

importantly, dairying has become an important secondary source of income for millions of rural

families and has assumed the most important role in providing employment and income, giving

money 2 times a day.

Therefore by improving the dairy sector in Bongaigaon district would create self

employment for a large number of Muslim rural masses including women participation in this

sector with dignity like in the advance States of Gujrat, Hariyana, Panjab etc. where most of the

Dairy Husbandry work is done by the women folk only.

1 Without M.S.D. Plan 85 gms 86 gms 87 gms 89 gms 2 With M.S.D. Plan ---- 88 gms 91 gms 94 gms 3.2. Critical Gap in Organized Production:

In Bongaigaon district per capita availability of milk is only 85 gms which is per below

the requirement of 208 gms recommended by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR).

This unavailability of milk in turn results capital out flow in the tune of Crores of rupees annually

123

for import of milk and milk products from out side the state. In Assam, and in that case in

Bongaigaon district also a large section of rural population consisting of small and marginal

farmers and Agricultural labourers, are traditionally cattle rearers but their cattles are of non-

descriptive breed, temporarily dry, barren, feeble and hence low productive. The farmers do not

have the adequate facilities or resources for either proper rearing or improving these animals. In

fact their approach of such rearing is very casual.

For organize production of the milk at the village level, Primary Dairy Cooperative

Society is an indispensable organization. But in Bongaigaon District there is not a signal milk

producers Cooperative Society is functioning or existing as on today. Therefore much has to be

done to organize the disperse farmers under the umbrella of D.C.S.s.

3.4. Critical Gap in Organized production and Marketing:

At present there is no milk processing plant in the district . With present production as

stated in the above table a minimum of 5000 LPH plant is required. Due to paucity of fund only

2000 LPD plan is proposed in M.S.D. Plan which is urgently required to boost up the initiative

of the farmers for more production.

Whatever little milk is produced in the district, marketed by the unorganized sector

comprising mainly innumerable middlemen, vendors, small processors and retailers of

indigenous milk products like Khowa, Paneer, Dahi and milk based sweets etc. But the main

problem in unorganized sector is quality which creates threats to the health of the consumers.

Unsanitary local condition, unhygienic containers, sub-standard processing equipment, poor

handling methods, breaks in cold chain etc. leads to poor quality and unsafe milk supplied by the

unorganized sector .

Therefore, to fill up this critical gap in production, processing & marketing in dairy

sector a huge resource is necessary; however a concerted effort is made through this M.S.D. plant

with limited fund at least to start the opening of the Dairy Industry in the district.

4.1. Goal:

1) At the end of this project an additional milk production of 4800 ltrs. per day will be

achieved along with the normal production of milk which will increase the per capita

availability of milk from present 85 gms to 94 gms.

2) The project will create the milk procurement network through organization of

primary Dairy Cooperative Societies.

3) At the end of the project milk processing capacity of 10000 ltrs. per day will be

achieved.

4) There will be a marketing network created under the patronized of the processing plan.

5) Deliverance of quality milk to the door step of urban consumers who are presently

exploited by the middle man.

4.2. Strategies:

1. Formation of 8 numbers of Primary Dairy Cooperative Societies in a cluster basis at

potential minority concentrated villages in the line of “Milk Village” scheme of the

Department.

2. Impart management training along with exposure visit to successful Dairy

Cooperative Societies within and outside the state.

3. Managerial and other infrastructural assistance to the Dairy Cooperative Societies for

their successful running.

44.. Creation of procurement Network.

55.. Induction of Cross Bred Cows/ Improve buffaloes to the societies through credit

linkage.

66.. Creation of processing infrastructure at Abhayapuri town along with marketing

facilities.

5. OUT COME AND BENEFIT:

Milk production : Additional increase of 4800 ltrs. of

per day along with normal production

House hold directly benefited : 240 Nos.

Population served : 48076 (through processing plant)

In addition to this there would be indirect employment in the field of support services

like supply of medicine and vaccine, concentrated feed and fodder, retail marketing of milk and

125

milk product besides in the field of providing transportation facilities for the above activities by

private entrepreneurs.

6. MILESTONE:

i) To increase per capita milk availability from present 85 gms to 94 gms.

ii) To create employment opportunities and thus improving the economic status of rural

minority population including women folk.

iii) The farmers will be organized under of Dairy Cooperatives Societies (DCS) for

better production management.

iv) In time these Primary Dairy Co-operative Societies will form the district level union

who will subsequently manage the entire activities after the project completion.

v) A corpus fund will be created among the Primary Co-operative Societies for running

the district level Union.

vi) In the Primary Dairy Cooperative Societies supports services like collection centre,

milk testing facilities will be created.

vii) Milk produced by the farmers will be collected and tested in the rural milk collection

centre and payment will be made according to fat & SNF content of milk. The

collected milk will be transported from rural milk collection centre to the dairy plant.

viii) The procurement, processing and distribution of milk would be organized in order to

give remunerative price to the farmers as well as providing hygienic milk to the

consumers through elimination of middlemen who are at present exploiting the

farmers on one hand and selling adulterated milk through unhygienic reconstitution

of solids coming from out side the state.

ix) The milk processing plant will be run by the proposed milk union or through the

interested N.G.O’s or private parties under Public Private Partnership (PPP Model)

by drawing suitable Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) among the Dairy

Department and the Party concerned.

x) Milk will be processed in the Dairy Plant as per the norms laid down by

MMPO/WTO and will be marketed through the modern selling booths.

xi) All the beneficiaries will be imparted training programme and selected beneficiaries

will be sent for exposure visit to the other parts of the country. This is crucial for

standardization of milk production as per standard laid down by the new trade

agreement under WTO.

CONCEPT PAPER

1. Background:

Bongaigaon district is one of the important minority concentrated district of

Assam. The Socio- economic and basic amenities parameters of the district are below

national average. It is also a relatively backward district of Assam.

As per the census data of 2001, the demographic profile of the district shows that

45.08 percent of the rural population in the district belongs to the minority community of

which Muslims comprise 94 percent. The population distribution by religious minority

groups in the rural areas is shown in the table below.

Religious distribution of rural population in Bongaigaon district (as per census,

2001)

Religious group wise work participation rate reveal that although Hindus

comprise 55% of the total rural population in the district, 60% of the total rural workers

in the district are Hindus. On the contrary, although 43% of the total rural population in

the district belongs to Muslims, the share of the community in the work force is only

37% which indicates that 73% of the Muslims are without any work.

Further disaggregated figures on gender based work participation rate indicate

that female work participation rate is one third of the rate of males in the district. The

differences are more pronounced in the urban areas where the female work participation

rate is only 8% compared to 51% for males.

133

2. SOCIO ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY WITH JUSTIFICATION:

The common people particularly the Minority Community of Bongaigaon District

is economically very backward although there is tremendous potential for gainful self

employment through entrepreneurial activities in the handicraft sector. There exists

sufficient raw material for Agro based and allied activities based on which a good

number of Micro Enterprises may be created by the unemployed youths. For example

jute is abundantly grown in Bongaigaon District and a large number of quality items can

be produced from Jute fibre which possess good market in India and abroad.

For this purpose the youth folk of the District should get proper entrepreneurship

training at suitable and affordable location with congenial atmosphere.

Hence creation of suitable training hall one at Bongaigaon and another at

Abhayapuri sub division and arrangement of entrepreneurship Dev Trainings on Jute

Diversified products are felt feasible & justified for the District.

3. CRITICAL GAP:

In spite of having sufficient raw materials & man power, Bongaigaon District is

lagging behind in respect of Entrepreneurial activities compared to other parts of the

country. The main reason is that the District possesses poor Industrial Infrastructure and

the common people are ignorant about the potentiality of creating Micro Enterprises

based on local raw material. There is not a single suitable training hall in the District

where long term Entrepreneurship Development Training program can be arranged.

However, this gap of infrastructure and Entrepreneurial Knowledge can be reduced to

some extent by creating some Training Halls and arranging long term training programs

at those halls.


Construction of Entrepreneurship Dev. Training Hall at Bongaigaon and

Abhayapuri Sub Division and arrangement of three months Training program (batch

wise) on Jute craft in the Centres for at least 500 youths from minority community of the

District will encourage a section of local people to create micro enterprises.


The common people particularly the economically backward minority people will

get opportunity to have sufficient entrepreneurship Development Training with all-round

practical knowledge at suitable location of affordable distance. This will encourage at

134

least a section of the people to establish micro enterprises/ cottage industry based on Jute

fibre and this will certainly uplift their socio economic status.

6. MILESTONE:

After completion of project, the EDTHs will be assets of the District & will be

used for the same useful purpose for creating entrepreneurs of different ventures.

Moreover, the micro enterprises that may be created by some Trainees after

completion of their training will be the pioneer units for the District.


The approximate cost of the project is Rs. 57,99,700/- (Rupees Fifty Seven Lakhs

Ninety Nine Thousand & Seven Hundred) only.

8. YEARWISE PHYSICAL & FINANCIAL TARGET:

Year Physical Target Financial Target 2008-2009 & 2009-2010

9. PRIVATE INVESTMENT PARTICIPATION:

No private participation required.

10. PROJECT LOCATION:

The proposed locations are:

a) Industrial Estate, new Bongaigaon under Bongaigaon Sub Division.

b) Commercial Esate, Rowmari, Abhayapuri under North Salmara Sub Division.


There are sufficient land available at the locations mentioned above for

construction of EDTHs.


Educated unemployed youths particularly from the minority areas will be

benefited from the project.

13. DURATION OF PROJECT:

The project will be completed within 3 years.

135


The implementing agency will be District Industries Commerce Centre

Bongaigaon. For successful completion of training programme, National Centre for Jute

Diversification, Guwahati and NGOs/ Master craftsmen from Bongaigon and

neighbouring Districts will be involved.

15. EXISTING AND PROPOSED MECHANISM FOR IMPLEMENTATION:

DICC, Bongaigaon possesses experienced mechanism for construction of

infrastructure as well as for arranging Training in the field of entrepreneurship

Development.

16.MANAGEMENT/ OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF ASSESTS CREATED:

The management/ operation and maintenance of assets created will be as

follows:

1) For Entrepreneurship Development Training Hall at Industrial Estate, New

Bongaigaon - General Manager, DICC Bongaigaon.

DETAILS OF PROJECT:

PHASE I: CONSTRUCTION OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP DEVELOPMENT TRAINING HALLS

DICC, Bongaigaon proposes to set up 2(two) Entrepreneurship Development

Training Halls at the following locations:

i) Industrial Estate, New Bongaigaon under Bongaigaon sub division.

ii) Commercial Estate, Rowmari, Abhayapuri under North Salmara Sub Division.

It is observed that some Training Institutes connected with the development of

Industrial activities like – IIE, NEITCo, NEDFi, MSME, NSIC, DICC, National Centre

for Jute Diversification etc. arrange training programmes time to time for awareness and

entrepreneurship development for the minorities and other backward classes of the

district. But due to lack of proper infrastructure they have to face various difficulties for

arranging the progremmes smoothly.

Therefore, DICC, Bongaigaon proposes to construct 2(two) nos. of

Entrepreneurship Development Training Halls accomodating at least 50 nos. of

Entrepreneurs in each Hall. For construction of the Halls we have identified suitable

vacant Government land in the I/E, New Bongaigaon under the control of MD, AIIDC

Guwahati, Assam and in Commercial Estate at Rowmari (earmarked for S/C

Community earlier) under the Control of Director, Industries & Commerce, Assam falls

under North Salmara Sub Division. The vacant land at Rowmari is lying unused since

inception for last about 25 years which is under control of the Director, Industries &

Commerce, Assam.

THE EDTHs AT A GLANCE:

a) Type of Building : Assam type building with steel roof truss.

b) Total Plinth area of each EDTH : 160.7 Sqm

e) Total Cost of each EDTH : Rs. 15,04,850.00

f) Total cost of the two EDTH : Rs. 30,09,700.00

(Rupees Thirty Lacs Nine Thousand Seven Hundred only

137

PHASE II: TRAINING PROGRAMME ON JUTE CRAFT/ JUTE DIVERSIFIED PRODUCTS FOR THE UNEMPLOYED YOUTHS OF MINORITY COMMUNITIES OF THE DISTRICT:

a) INTRODUCTION:

Jute is an important agricultural product which is abundantly produced in Bongaigaon

District. A large numbers of household as well as industrial products can be made using raw or

processed jute fibre. Jute diversified products are nice to look at and very useful for day to day

use in modern societies and as such these have good demand in our country and abroad.

These products also possess good exporting potential. With the recent global trend

towards eco-friendly products, jute has regained its importance in global market and thus

throwing a tremendous potential for diversified jute products.

A large number of jute based quality products can be made in the handicraft sector using

minor tools & equipments. Traditionally our artisans produce verities of jute products. If they get

proper training & technological support they will be able to produce wide range of quality jute

products.

Jute fibre craft is encouraged by various Agencies like Development Commissioner of

Handicraft under Ministry of Textile & Handloom, Govt. of India, National centre of Jute

Diversification, Artfed etc.

Another vital point is that no huge amount of money is required to start up jute based

venture by the artisans.

In view of these, DICC, Bongaigaon proposes to arrange long term Training

Programmes on Jute Craft/ Jute Diversified Products for the Minority Communities of the

District.

b) SOME JUTE BASED PRODUCTS:

1. Decorated Hand Bag. 2. Marketing Bag. 3. Wall hanging

4. Dinning Mat 5. Door Mat 6. Cushion Cover

7 Pen Stand 8. Chappal 9. Hat/Cap

10 Carpet etc.

c) OBJECTIVE OF THE TRAINING PROGRAMME:

1. To impart training for general awareness as well as skill development for the

youths under Minority areas.

2. To provide gainful employment opportunity to the youth folk.

3. To grasp the benefit that have accrued under various programme on jute.

4. To introduce technical know how.

5. To encourage to set up micro units by the Entrepreneurs.

6. To provide backup and marketing support.

138

d) TRAINER ORGANISATIONS:

Besides National Centre for Jute Diversification, local experienced Master

craftsmen/ NGOs involved in training programme will be engaged for imparting training.

e) POST TRAINING ACTIVITIES:

1. Trainees will be encouraged to setup micro units based on jute fibre.

2. They will be sponsored under Govt. Scheme for getting financial assistance if

possible.

3. They will be encouraged to form Self Help Group/ Cooperative Societies in

consultation & guidance of DRDA, Bongaigaon .

CONCEPT PAPER

1. SOCIO ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY WITH JUSTIFICATION :

The Bongaigaon District has about 45.08% of minority population of which Muslims

constitute 42.7% of the total. The remaining communities namely Sikh 0.01%, Christians 2.27%,

Buddhists 0.02%, Jains 0.01%, and others 0.001%.

The agriculture is the main occupation of the 80% of the rural population. It is the

predominant economic activities of the district. Paddy is the major crop covering 75% of the total

cropped area.

The forest cover of the district is very low. As per National Forest Policy 1/3rd of the

total geographical area should be under forest but the district has only 6659 ha of forest land

(5.54% of total geographical area). Obviously the district has very low output on forest produce

such as fuel, fodder, timber, fibre and non-timber forest produce.

Fuel decades back the paddy field of the district has adequate no. of trees as alley crop.

The species like Simul, Ajhar, Bel, Paroli, Bhatghila etc. which contributed immensely for

maintaining ecological balance and agricultural productivity. The trees provide subsidiary

income to farmer during crop failure due to flood/drought etc.

There exists a critical gap on the above requirement of rural population, hence it is

proposed to narrow the gap by taking up the Social Forestry scheme with the following

components.

1. FarmForestry/Agroforestry 120 ha = Rs 5.00 Lakh 2. Medicinal and Aromatic Plantation- 68 ha = Rs. 26.00 Lakh 3. Nursery:- i) MAP Nursery (0.5ha each 2nos.) 1.00 ha = Rs. 5.00 Lakh ii) Forest Nursery 0.5 ha. = Rs. 2.00 Lakh 4. Income Generating Activities :- Providing bee hives to farmers 150 nos. = Rs. 1.50 Lakh 5. Community Welfare :- Providing Bio Gas Plant 27nos. = Rs. 5.00 Lakh 6. Awareness/Training of farmers on bee hives MAP cultivation/Nursery = Rs. 1.25 Lakh Total = Rs. 45.75 Lakh 2. GOAL & STRATEGIES :

(1) Considering the agrarian background of the district the above components of the

scheme as it integrates trees and animals with the main objectives of reducing risk

and increasing productivity per unit area. The farmer of the district is ready to adopt

the model which is technically feasible ecologically sustainable, economically

viable and socially acceptable.

141

(2) It will provide source for rural, village and cottage scale industries and to build up

resources for fuel, fodder, timber, floss, Herbal/Ayurvedic medicine.

(3) To create employment of casual and semi permanent employment for creation,

upkeep, protection, harvesting and recreation, restoring much needed ecological

balance which is at stress due to global warming vis-a-vis pollution.

(4) To demonstrate the people about the growth and yield rate of different species of

CONCEPT PAPER

1. INTRODUCTION:

It is a fact that among all the problems/ constrains in the country, unemployment is a

major problem and which becomes a bottleneck for the upliftment of the society as a whole. It is

also noted that a huge nos. of educated unemployed youths (job seekers) form minority

communities are registered at Employment Exchange, Bongaigaon.

The number of educated unemployed youths registered at Employment Exchange,

Bongaigaon are in such figures –

Muslim Community Christian Community Sikh Community

14774 354 58

However total nos. of job seekers registered for employment assistance:

Male Female Total

56776 10942 67718

The above stated figures of educated unemployed youths from minority communities are

available on Live Register of the Employment Exchange, Bongaigaon till 30th June, 2008.

The present employment generating scenario in the District is very poor. Also it is not

possible for government to provide government service to all these job seekers and due to lack of

proper employment & guidance activities these youth may become frustrated day by day and

their minds may be diverted towards some unlawful activities.

The only way to solve this burning unemployment problem among minority

communities is to create efficient man power by way of organizing career counseling and

guidance programmes for the student; imparting some needful trainings to the unemployed youth

on different self employment ventures and also to keep them alert and prepare for different

competitive examination. As these youths are the future of the society, hence in need base they

may be taken up under Multisectoral development plan for minorities. In this regard, different

literatures on careers and occupational information’s may be prepared & printed locally based on

the literatures received from the Directorate General of Employment & Training, New Delhi &

Directorate of Employment & Craftsmen Training, Assam and make arrangement for distribution

of the same at the time of career counseling & vocational guidance programmes which are

proposed to be conducted by Employment Exchange. Bongaigaon at different Schools &

Colleges of areas having substantial minority population.

153

Moreover, total population of Bongaigaon district (2001)is as such:

Residence Persons Hindu Muslims Christians Total 904835 535464 348573 18728 Urban 109782 98783 8861 718 Rural 795053 436681 339712 18010

Source: Census of India 2001

From the above table of population distribution, it is observed that majority of the

minority populations generally lives in various rural remote corners of the district. Hence,

eligible unemployed youths may not often register their names at Employment Exchange for

some employment assistance due to their ignorance about the function and existence of

Employment Exchange. Therefore, there is a need to register their names by way of mobile camp

registration programmes at different remote minority dominated corners of the district to be

conducted by Employment Exchange Bongaigaon.

Detail Project Report is prepared by the Employment Exchange, Bongaigaon with the following

D. Organize training programmes for educated unemployed youths of Minority communities on different self employment ventures:-

There is a steady growth of unemployment persons who desire to have paid jobs. Since

there are limited opportunities for such jobs, the unemployment problem is poising a serious

threat not only the government but to the young people also. Wise boys and girls will have to

bring about attitudinal change and set for themselves the aim of self employment rather than paid

employment.

The central and state govt.’s have realized the importance of self employment & are

trying to offer as many facilities as possible. Banks and Industries development corporation are

coming forward with loan on easy terms.

Training programmes may be organized on several self employment ventures depending

on feasibility and viability of the programme at their locality.

An indicative list of self employment avenues :

1. Workshop for 2/3 wheeler vehicle. 11. Barber’s shop 2. Bee keeping 12. Black smithy 3. Bakery & Confectionary items. 13. Beauty Parlor/Centre 4. Building materials sale 14. Dry cleaning 5. Door to Door breakfast service. 15. Envelope making 6. Book binding. 16. Fruit vegetable vendor 7. Footwear shop and repairs 17. Fruit juice shop 8. Fisheries 18. Floor mill & Masala grinding. 9. Piggery 19. Dry Cleaning/Dying 10. Fashion Tailoring 20. Readymade garment making etc. It is proposed that two numbers of small training programme on different self

employment avenues are to be carried out per year.

CONCEPT PAPER

1. RELIGION SPECIFIC SOCIO-ECONOMIC FEASIBILTY :

The various socio economic indicators are

i) Literacy rate ; ii) Female literacy rate ; iii) Work participation rate ; and iv) Female work participation rate The literacy rate in the district as per the Census, 2001 is lower than the state average.

Although the female literacy rate in the urban areas of the district is same as that of the state

average for urban female, however in the rural areas the female literacy rate is much lower than the

state average which clearly shows the poor educational status for women .

Religious community wise literacy rates in the district reveals that literacy rate for Hindus is

not only highest among the religious groups of the district but is also significantly higher than the

district average rural literacy rate. The literacy rate of Muslims is much below the average rural

literacy rate of the district particularly the Muslim female literacy rate in the rural areas.

The main reason for educational backwardness of the Muslims are poverty, for which they

are forced to drop out after the first few classes. This is particularly true for Muslim girls. Muslim

children are force to work at a very early age . Parents are unable to bear the cost of sending their

children to schools.

2. GOAL & STRATEGIES :

Goal : Development plans for minority concentration in Bongaigaon district under Social Welfare

Sector of Integrated Child Development Services Scheme .

Strategies : The programme of ICDS envisages the delivery of the following package of services

:

Non-formal pre-school education Supplementary Nutrition Immunization Health Check-up Referral Services Nutrition & health education

To improve the health and relevant knowledge for adolescent girls ( 11-18 yrs) .

3. OUTCOME AND BENEFIT :

3.1. Objectives of Non-formal Pre-School Education : Pre-school education at the Anganwadi should aim at the total development of the child–

physical , psychological , moral , social and the development of language and intelligence. The

161

following are the main objectives of pre-school education :

i To develop in the child a good physique, proper muscular coordination and motor

skills .

ii To develop its creativity and imagination , initiative and curiosity .

iii To develop attitude of social responsibility and desirable relationships ; to help the

child to learn to live with other children and to respect the rights of others .

iv To control the child’s natural aggressiveness and destructiveness ; to channelize

spontaneous energies to good behaviour and work; and to inculcate human values

like concern for others, sharing, cooperation with others , patience , tolerance ,

fairness, truthfulness, integrity , modesty , courage and equanimity .

v To help the child to grow intellectually and emotionally , acquire the ability for

expressions in its own language , recognize and name the objects in its environment ,

recall and compare events and objects , and form clear concepts of things and events

around itself.

vi To encourage the child to learn to work and play independently and to be able to

accept help and guidance from adults.

vii To develop good habits of health and hygiene.

Thus pre-school education plays an important role in the total development of the child’s

personality. Therefore devote proper attention to this important component of the ICDS

Programme.

3.2. Materials and Equipments : The materials and equipments to be used in the Anganwadi for non-formal pre-school

activities should be of indigeneous origin , designed and made by the anganwadi workers or local

artisans , and inexpensive . Dependency upon non-indigenous play equipments should be

minimized and emphasis should be on the improvisation of materials from local resources .

Anganwadi workers should play a leading role in the designing and making of these materials.

Materials like sand , clay , seeds , leaves , twigs , water etc have immense possibilities. Slides ,

sandpits, resting frames, crayon and brush drawings and paintings, paper cuttings, beads etc . have

been found to be more popular with pre-school children than sophisticated dolls , toys and other

equipments . The traditional festival dolls and folk toys have a great deal of educational

possibilities but have largely remained untapped so far . Similarly picture books are of great interest

and importance to young children. They develop reading interests in children and facilitate their

language development.

3.3. To improve the health and relevant knowledge for adolescent girls (11-18 yrs) : i Improve decision making capabilities.

162

ii Enhance literacy and mathematical skills.

iii Improve/upgrade home-based and vocational skill.

iv Gain awareness of health , hygiene , nutrition , and family welfare , home

management , and child care.

v Understand the consequences of marriage before 18 yrs.

vi Understand environment related social issues and the impact on adolescent girls lives.

vii Initiate various activities to be productive and useful women of society.

Groups of adolescent girls have been formed with each groups consisting of 20 adolescent

girls.

4. MILESTONE :

Anganwadi Centre : No. of Anganwadi Centre (AWC) covered by Minorities:316 Nos.

To develop the pre-school education in the minority area supply of pre-school material &

equipment to the Anganwadi Centres is necessary .

Adolescent Girls : At present in the Bongaigaon district we are having 805 Nos. of

Adolescent Groups in minority areas. During the recent survey we have found out that

there are around 204 Adolescent Groups still uncovered.

In order to make them self employed as well as self dependent, strengthening as women

workforce of society we have proposed to distribute sewing machines, knitting machines & beautician

kits among these Groups.

5. APPROXIMATE COST OF THE PROJECT :

(1) Supply of Anganwadi material & equipments : As per our recent survey: Total no. of Anganwadi Centre (AWC ), ( Covered ) ------316 Nos.

For pre-school education necessary materials cum equipments are not available in Anganwadi

centre .

Estimated costs of supply of materials & equipment for the development of

Pre-School Education in the AWC’s = Rs. ( 316 x 5481/- ) = Rs. 17,31,996/-

(2) Estimated cost for distributing sewing machines, knitting machines & beautician

kits etc. to Adolescent Groups :

According to recent survey ,

Total no. of Adolescent Groups already formed under 316 No. Minority AWC = 805 Nos

No. of Proposed Adolescent Groups in Minority Area = 204 Nos.

Total No. of Adolescent Groups = 805 + 204 = 1009 Nos.

All the char villages of Bongaigaon district are located in the remote isolated char areas

of the river Brahmaputra. The people are very poor and literacy rate is much below the district

rate and deprived of other basic amenities like proper education, health, sanitation etc. This is

due to poor road connectivity and degradation by yearly flood and erosion. Most of the people

depend on agriculture. They mainly grows rabi crops as the kharif is only a chance crop. As a

result a major portion of the people migrated to other places in search of livelihood. Over the

years, they are using traditional method of cultivation by bullock driven country plough. Hence, a

consorted afford should be made to increase the productivity of field crop by using improved

method of cultivation. All the char villages are minority concentrated area having 99%- 100%

muslim.

3. CRITICAL GAP :-

This proposed scheme will promote the local infrastructure as well as in income

generation.

“MULTI-SECTORAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN

FOR MINORITY” OF

BONGAIGAON DISTRICT

FOR

BONGAIGAON MUNICIPALITY


2007-08 To 2011-12

CONCEPT PAPER

1. AREA AND LOCATION :

Bongaigaon District was created in 1989 curving out the Goalpara and Kokrajhar

Districts and surrounded by Barpeta in the east, Goalpara in the south-east, Kokrajhar in the west

and Dhubri in the north west. Bongaigaon Town is the District Head Quarter of the District.

2. INTRODUCTION:

Bongaigaon is situated at an average altitude of 62.6 m with the cardinal points 26028”

east latitude and 90034” north longitude. The town is situated at a distance of 200 km west from

the State Capital and occupies an important place in the communication network in Assam as

well as north east India. The New Bongaigaon railway station is a major junction connecting

Assam with rest of India. This town is also very well connected by road through the National

Highway 31 B and 31C. This connectivity and the strategic location of the town in the regional

set up has helped it to emerge as an important center in trade and commerce in Western Assam

serving a vast hinter land.

Bongaigaon represents a cultural mosaic as it was under the rule of various of ethnic

groups at different points of time. Out of the all rulers the ‘Koch’ ruled this area for a few

centuries and Kamata King Narnarayan and his brother Generalissimo Bir Chilaray was famous

of them. It came under British rule 1826.

The town occupied a place in the map of Indian Railway with the establishment of the

railway station in the year 1908. Most of the institutions like ITI, Bongaigaon College, Office of

the Assam State Electricity Board in the early 60’s and infact the very base of the development

of the town was laid in this decade only. The development further gained momentum with the

establishment of the Bongaigaon Refinery and Petro Chemicals Limited (BRPL) Complex in the

year 1972 at Dhaligaon and also Thermal Power Plant at Salakati. Though these area are not

within the limit of Bongaigaon Municipality the town also caters to the demand of this

population.

The Bongaigaon Town Committee was first constituted in the year 1961 and was

upgraded to a Municipal Board in the year 1977. Presently the Municipal Area consists of 25 nos.

of wards covering an area of 14.31 sq m.

3. SOCIO-ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY WITH JUSTIFICATION:

Bongaigaon Town is cosmopolitan in nature. Socio economic feasibility for

adoption of sectoral development plan for the Bongaigaon Town can be well justified if

171

we look in to the table below stating the religion wise population of the town.

Table - 26. Religionwise Population .

Hindu Muslim Christian Sikh Budhist Jain Others/ not stated 54946 3860 317 329 117 747 11 91.07% 6.40% 0.53% 0.55% 0.19% 1.24% 0.02%

Total Population = 60327

The data regarding religion wise population is available at town level only and the same

at ward level is not presently available. A glance at the religion wise population states that the

Muslims constitute 6.40% of total minority population which the highest and the Budhist

constitute the lowest percentage which is 0.19%. The concentration of population of religious

minority had to be determined through reconnaissance survey and with the help of concentration

of holdings. The survey reveals that the pockets in the town where the minority population is

concentrated are not well knit with the infrastructure network of the town and hence requires a

special attention to bring the standard of the infrastructure at par the standard of the town.

4. CRITICAL GAP :

There are total 25 nos. of ward in Bongaigaon Municipal area and out of these the as per

survey carried out religious minority are concentrated at the ward nos. 6, 8, 9, 10, 12 and 13. The

town basically lacks in the infrastructure sector and in most of the localities, roads are in

dilapidated conditions. Further in the rainy season, in the absence of proper drainage facilities,

the situation worsens. This has made the communication to and fro from this area difficult and in

absence of drainage facilities the area gets submerged during a heavy shower damaging public

properties. Further there is no such community places in these areas which can be expeditiously

used by the communities for their overall development.

Accordingly the analysis carried out on the existing infrastructure facilities for the minority

sector reveals the critical gap in the following two major sectors-

1. Basic infrastructure facility namely roads and drains

2. Community places like hostels and guest houses

5. GOALS AND STRATEGIES :

The strategy now will be to put resources in minimizing these critical gap in a planned

way. On the basis of the above analysis following goals have been identified for this sectoral

development plan for the town

1. To provide with roads along with side drains in Kadamtoli Area (ward no. 12)

2. To provide with roads along with side drains Gurunanak Nagar (ward no. 13)

172

3. To provide with modern guest house for minority communities.

4. To provide with youth hostels for minority students.

.6. OUTCOMES AND BENEFITS :

It is proposed that by achieving these goals the critical gap that exists presently can be

fulfilled and the communities should be able reap the benefits of the overall development of the

town. Further this will go in a long way to raise the living standards communities. Once the

schemes are implemented the communication as well as the drainage of the area will be

improved. The people as well as the students commuting to and fro from the town will be able

use the facilities.

10. PRIVATE INVESTMENT PARTICIPATION :

No private sector investment in the project has been envisaged at present.

11. PROJECT LOCATION :

The location of the roads and drains as proposed shall be in the minority concentrated

area namely the Ward No. 12 and 13. The location of the Guest House and the Youth Hostel shall

be suitably selected within the Municipal area in such a way that all the minority group can reap

the benefit of these facilities.

12. LAND AVAILABILITY :

Land for roads and drains have already been earmarked and is available. Land for the

youth hostel and the guest house is also available within the town.


The schemes are selected in a way to benefit all the minority community of the town.

However these schemes will not only serve the local population but also a vast area along with

the public commuting through these area to North Salmara Chapaguri Road as well as to the

National Highway. The provision for roads and drains in Gurunanank Nagar area will also

improve the communication to the parade ground and police reserve and also help in draining out

the water from this locality.

174

14. DURATION OF THE PROJECT :

The duration of the project will be 4 (four) years and every effort will be initiated to

finish the project within the stipulated period.


The implementing agency for the project will be the Bongaigaon Municipality under the

Directorate of Municipal Administration, Government of Assam.

16. EXISTING AND PROPOSED MECHANISM FOR IMPLEMENTATION :

The works can be basically implemented through departmentally under the supervision of

the Executive Officer. Wherever necessary contractors and suppliers can also be involved.

17. MANAGEMENT/ OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE ASSETS CREATED

The assets created can be handed over to the communities for maintenance. The hostels

and guest houses can be managed by a committee who will provide the service at a nominal cost

which can be in turn utilized for the maintenance of the assets created. However this may not be

possible for the roads and drains and therefore these are to be maintained by the Municipality.

CONCEPT PAPER

1. SOCIO-ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY WITH JUSTIFICATION:

Bongaigaon District was created in the year 1989 bifurcating the erstwhile Kokrajhar and

Goalpara District with its Headquarter at Bongaigaon Town. The total land area of the district is

2152 Sq.km. as per the record of 2001 census.

As per 2001 census, the total population of the district is 904835 and out of this religious

minority population is 367301. As per census data of 2001, the demographic profile of the

district shows that 45.08 percent of the rural population belongs to minority community of which

Muslims comprise 94 percent. The people from minority community of Sikhs, Buddhists and

part of Christians reside mainly in urban area. Almost 80 percent projects of MSD plan of the

district are proposed in rural minority dominated area. Hence to make benefited the other

minority community also, it is proposed to construct separate community hall for Sikhs and

Buddhists at Bongaigaon. Further in some minority dominated villages, there is no any public

infrastructure where the people can get together. For such villages 8 Nos. of community hall or

Rest House has been proposed for construction at different places of the district.

2. CRITICAL GAP:

Except the religious centre like Gurudwara for Sikhs, Monastery for Buddhists and

Church for Christians no other infrastructure for these religious minority communities where

they can get together. Hence construction of separate Community hall for scattered minority

community of Sikh and Buddhist at Bongaigaon Town is necessary. Further community hall or

cultural centre is proposed in those minority villages where no any public institution is exists.


In the community hall, the people of the same community may sit together and chalk out

plan for the community. Further the same may be used by the people of the community to

perform any function including marriage ceremony and celebration of other rituals among the

community.


If properly used then the community hall may be used for various developmental

purposes of the community. This may be a centre for learning among the people of the

community.

5. MILESTONE:

After completion of the project all the community halls will be assets for the respective

community.

182


The approximate cost of the total project is Rs.3.89 Crore (Rupees three crore and eighty

nine lakhs ) only. Out of this total project cost Rs.0.886 crore, Rs.0.285 crore and 2.72 crore has

been earmarked for construction of community hall for Sikhs, Buddhists and other minority

communities respectively.

The estimate has been prepared on the basis of the Schedule of Rates of the P.W.D. Building (Civil works) for all divisions under P.W.D. Assam for the year 2004-05. A premium of 20% on the SOR has been considered as per the circular of the Chief Engineer, P.W.D. (B) Assam vide no. SMC / 40 / 2007 / 20 Dtd. 31st July / 2008. Table-28. Year wise physical and financial target:

8. PROJECT LOCATION:

The proposed locations of the project will be at Gurudwara complex near Paglasthan for

Sikh Community Hall, Dharmadut Bihar, Natunpara for Buddhist Community Hall respectively.


The Sikh Community of Bongaigaon has no other land except the Gurudwara complex.

The committee of the Sikh community has proposes vertical extension of a part of the complex

for providing the community hall. As per the comment of the committee, that part of the building

has foundation of four storey building. However from the technical point, column of one side of

the building is required strengthening. Hence the DPR has been prepared accordingly. The land

for Community Halls for Buddhists is available in the respective project location. The land for

community hall for other minority communities is also available at various places of the district.


From the proposed project, all the people of each minority community will be benefited .

11. DURATION OF PROJECT :

The project will be completed within two years in all respect.

TOTAL LITERACY CAMPAIGN


2007-08 To 2011-12

CONCEPT PAPER

1. INTRODUCTION :

Based on Omio Kr. Das Institute for social changes and development, Guwahati, Assam

project proposal has been prepared under "Multi Sectoral Development Plan" for Minorities.

Literacy is an essential tool and a pre-conditions for activating and promoting people's

participations in the success of a true-democracy in general and well being of the mass.

It is a matter of great concern that all individuals of the minorities areas are yet to be

covered by literacy programmes. This is due to various factors inherent in their society as well as

state.

The literacy scenario in minorities area of the district is not encouraging. As per 2001

census, the member of illiterates in Bongaigaon minorities area of age 9 to 45 yrs. total

60,000male 25200 and female 34800 out of 239850 population. To cover the all minorities area

in each Panchayat of minorities area by literacy campaign and cover the School drop out, to

impart literacy to semi literacy for achieving literacy levels by NLM.

TLC’s aim is to provide facilities to functional Literacy, stabilization, reinforcement and

upgradation of learners.

PLP is a component of continuing education intended to consolidate basic literacy skills

and to make self motivated, effective living of life.

Emphasis will be given for development of skill. Programme will be integrated in PLP

continuing education, vocational and skill development training. Programme for neo literates

women empowerment training, job oriented skill with reading skills, formation of SHG groups in

ncovered areas and impart training to various self help groups. u

After completion of PLP, the continuing education programme will be started in the

minorities areas in the district. Continuing education centre will provide permanent resources to

the neo-literates for skill development. If handloom training centre and multisectoral centre is

established in each Block for neo-literates, V.I. and continuing centre will also be established in

every panchayat.

2. STATUS OF FEMALE LITERACY :

Factors responsible for poor female literacy rate. Historically, a variety factors have been

found to be responsible for poor female literacy rate viz.

• Gender based inequality.

• Social discrimination and economic exploitation.

• Occupation of Girl child in domestic works.

• Low enrolment of girl in school.

189

Strategies adopted by the Government for improving the female Literacy and

empowerment of women in minorities areas.

1. Zilla Saksharata Samitee for imparting functional Literacy.

2. Non formal education and

3. Primary Education.

3. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES :

The aim of a literacy campaign is to identify who have never joined in formal system of

education or who have dropped out. The targeted population for this is 9-35 years. The time

frame is 6th month. As per 2001 census, the number of illiterates in the age group of 9-35 is

above 60000.

The objectives of literacy campaign are :-

1. To create awareness for a better life.

2. To enable the people to participate in the economic development of the society.

3. To enable people to take advantage of the various welfare scheme of the Govt.

4. To create awareness among the people of their rights as a citizen.

5. Bring changes for modernistic and scientific approach to life.

6. To promote the spirit of cultural unity.

On successful completion of the Literacy Programme, it is expected that about 90% of

the total population in the age group of 9-35 years will be literate.

4. AREA OF OPERATION :

Literacy campaign will be operated within the administrative jurisdiction of the entire

Bongaigaon district. At present the district has 5 nos. Dev. Block, 35 no minority concentrated

Gaon Panchayats.

5. WHY LITERACY IN MINORITIES CONCENTRATED AREA :

The education scenario of Bongaigaon district had never been very bright. Bongaigaon

has literacy rate of 59.33% in comparison to 63.25% of Assam. Lack of infrastructure, socio-

economic backwardness, migration from neighbouring countries are the reasons of

backwardness. Religious community wise literacy rates in the district reveals that literacy rate for

Hindus is not only the highest among the religious groups of the district but also significantly

higher than the district average. The literacy rate of the Muslims is much below, only 40.17%.

Communication is a major problem in Char areas. Manas and Aie river remains inaccessible

during the rainy season. People in general are very poor and lack of proper Medicare facilities

brings ill health, malnutrition etc.

All this shows education to the back of their list of priorities. The immigrants have come

in masses to settle in the area, who are practically illiterate with no concept of planned families.

The growth rate of population has escalated. Moreover despite the setting up of a number of

industries, most of the people are agriculturists. This has necessitated the starting the literacy

programme as the primary agenda for the overall development of minorities people.

191

6. GOAL AND STRATEGIES :

1. To create on effective learning structure for illiterates and neoliterates to strengthen their

existing skills

2. Make learning relevant to actual life situations by providing technical and vocational skills.

3. Encourage creative thinking through participative group activities

4. Active participation in such a way so as to lead community ownership of the scheme.

5. Active linkages with other development departments at the grassroot level.

6. Make the programme sustainable by making it need based and demand oriented.

7. The problems of illiteracy to be take in a holistic manner.

8. Total Literacy and post literacy phases to actually constitute two operation stages in the

learning continues.

9. Progress of Literacy efforts to be made goal directed.

10. Literacy campaigns to continue running in areas with large pools of residual illiteracy

11. Active participation of Panchayati Raj in literacy programme in keeping with the

constitutional responsibilities.

7. SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS OF THE PROJECT :

a. Individuals and minorities communities have been sensitized into socio Economic

development deep and abiding consciousness about ecological issues

b. At the individual level, self esteem and self confidence have increased Manifold.

c. Neo-literates shall acquire a sense of Self belief and desire to increase awareness levels,

to know more about the outside world and to escape from the shackles of entrenched

beliefs, antiquated ideas and both social and religions dogmas.
