1.1 BACKGROUND

The baseline survey is to create socio-economic profiles of the targeted districts, and received inputs that

would help to show the current position and potential areas of industrial and overall economic development.

The survey would more specifically try to identify the gaps in (1) availability of resources (2) availability of

infrastructure (3) critical linkages like rural road, ITIs, banking facilities, markets etc. and also (4) identification

of artisan’s income generating activities in which have comparative advantage.

1.2 METHOLOGY

As the covid-19 pandemic situation had restricted the movement of the personal from visiting the district.

Therefore, the District Industrial Potential Survey of Dhubri was prepared from the secondary data. It was

collection of datas from published research, state government surveys publications, information collected from

the periodical journal, etc. By studying the different parameters of different publications on the district and the

information collected from the DICC sources and earlier survey, the report of District industrial Potential

Survey of Dhubri is prepared.

1. Brief Profile of Dhubri District:

Dhubri District is an administrative district in the Indian state of Assam. The district headquarters is

located at Dhubri town which is situated at 290 km from Guwahati. This was also the headquarters of

erstwhile undivided Goalpara district which was created in 1876 by the British government. In 1983, Goalpara

district was divided into four districts and Dhubri is one among those. In 2016, Dhubri was further divided

again to form South Salmara district.

History: In the past, Dhubri district was the gateway of western Assam and a meeting place of different

racial groups which mingled together and formed a unique cultural heritage and historical background. The

growth of blended culture in this region, particularly in the areas of language, art and religion is due to the

continuous process of assimilation of various races, castes, and creeds of local people, invaders, and migrated

people. However, after the bifurcation of Bangladesh, waterways and railways were closed and the air traffic of

the airport, Rupshi in Kokrajhar district was neglected and lying unused.

Geography: Dhubri District is bounded both by interstate and international borders: West Bengal and

Bangladesh in the west; Goalpara and Bogaigoan district of Assam and Garo Hills district of Meghalaya in the

east; Kokrajhar district in the north; and Bangladesh and state of Meghalaya in the south.The district is located

on the globe between 89.42 and 90.12 degree east longitude and 26.22 to 25.28 degree north latitude and

situated at 30 meters above the sea level on an average. General topography of Dhubri district is plain with

patches of small hillocks like Tokorabandha, Dudhnath, Chandardinga, Boukuamari, Boropahar, Chakrasila,

etc. All these are situated in the north eastern part of the district. Mighty river, Brahmaputra is flowing through

this district from east to west with its tributaries like Champabati, Gourang, Gadadhar, Gangadhar, Tipkai,

Sankosh, Silai, Jinjiram, etc. The average annual rainfall of the district is 2,916 mm.

Economy: Dhubri district is primarily an agrarian district and agriculture is the main livelihood which

people dependent on agriculture and forest products. The main source of income is paddy (both winter and

autumn) with surplus production. Jute and mustard seed occupy the major share of cash crops. Wheat, maize,

pulses and sugar cane are also grown moderately. From forest, mainly timber and bamboo add to the income,

though boulders and sand are also available. Fish, milk, meat, and eggs have small contribution to the economy.

Currently three tea gardens, whose contribution to the district economy is almost negligible, cover an area of

1362.33 hectares. It’s rich natural wealth is yet to be explored and believe that proper utilization of natural

resources could provide a boost for the struggling economy.

Dhubri district is considered to be one of the most industrially backward district of Assam. With the

backwardness in literacy and in absence of rich-industrial infrastructure, the general socio-economic

condition of the district is poor. The growth rate of population multiplied by influx problem from across the

border is causing severe pressure.

Transport: Availability and assess to infrastructure are the primary requirements of socio-economic

progress of a region. Of the infrastructure facilities, transport like road ways, water ways, rail ways and airport

which provide the logistic transportation.

Airways: Rupshi in Kokrajhar district is the nearest airport in Dhubri which is about 15 km away from

the town. It was constructed during World War II by the British Govt. mainly for military purposes. Till 1983,

Indian Airlines and some private commercial flights operated regularly between Calcutta, Guwahati. At present

the Airport is under the National Airport Authority of India and lying unused.

Waterway: The town had a very busy river port on the bank of the Brahmaputra, which was used as an

international trade centre with the neighbouring countries, specially in British era. At present, the port is lying

idle. Its importance was decreased when direct line to Calcutta was snapped after partition as the line ran

through the erst-while East Pakistan (presently Bangladesh).

Railway: The importance of the Railway station and the MG line was also decreased since 1947, when

the direct line to Calcutta was snapped as it ran through erstwhile East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). The train

service has newly started on 2010 again, and it is functioning smoothly.

Road: Three National Highways are passes through Dhubri district and NH-31 is one of the base root to

connect Assam with West Bengal and other states.

The Dhubri district has natural resources like forest wealth besides adequate water from many rivers

covering major part of the district. Based on these resources, productive units may be established. The district is

potential enough to set up industries based on the raw materials available in this district, such as Jute, Bamboo,

Paddy, Pulses, Wheat, Potatoes and Mustered Oil seed. Moreover, the district can play significant role in

respect of food processing industries.

Food Processing: The sector has the potential to grow at a rapid pace in Assam with the increasing

demand for processed food. The wastage of perishable goods is due to non-availability of adequate processing

infrastructure. With the favorable agro climatic conditions that are conducive for a wide range of products,

opportunities in the sector abound in processing, sourcing, inclusive farming, logistics and cold chains.

Promotion of food processing industries in the small scale sector will not only check the wastage of these

valuable resources and add value to them, but will also encourage the growers to grow more fruits.

Sericulture and Handloom based industries: Assam state government has established a number of

silk processing and spinning units in the state. The state also provides a host of other infrastructure services

necessary for sericulture industry. The women in the district can weave dream on their looms-handloom

weaving is basically a leisure time activity of the women folk of Handloom is the oldest and widespread

industry in the district. The traditional handloom silks hold a prominent position in the markets and score over

factory-made silks in the richness of their textures and designs, in their individuality, character and classic

beauty.

Banana fibre craft: The fibre is made from banana stems, which in turn used for making various

articles. The people in the district are skill enough in this making fibre and articles. So, there is a scope and

potential develop further and help more employment and at the same time more district GDP.

24

Clay potteries and clay bricks: The art of making clay potteries is famous in the district and in the state

and also well known in the country. Therefore, there is a potential and many more people can be engage in this

field of art. Also as the development demand more burn bricks, so it has more scope in this field.

Jute and bamboo craft: The district is growing jute and therefore, there is huge potential in developing

the jute craft, which could engage a big share of employment and help the grow of district GDP. The district

also has a reserve of bamboo, therefore there are considerable opportunities in bamboo related crafts.

Animal Husbandry based industries: Animal Husbandry is potentially one of the most important

sectors for rapid socio-economic development of the State. Livestock is basically a component of production

system and is contributing to sustainable agricultural system. Fast growth is essential not only to achieve higher

productivity levels in livestock products but also for income generation of rural households of the district.

Livestock in the State is thus highly livelihood oriented and is generally owned by small and marginal farmers

and landless agricultural labourers.

Mineral based industries: Deposits of stone like Granite, are available in various shades and colours

and have a huge domestic as well as Export market.

Tourism based industries: the mighty Brahmaputra River and its many tributaries, and many beels

(lakes) have immense potential for tourism development like river cruises connecting the tourism destinations

and water sports, white water rafting and kayaking. River tourism along with water based adventure tourism

integrated into other tourism developments like rural and wildlife tourism will be a major thrust of tourism

promotion

Service based industries: Service-based industries are now playing an important role in the overall

economic activity. The important servicing units consists of automobile repairing workshops, battery charging,

electrical goods repairing, electronics items assembling repairing, Photostat, lamination etc. There is good

potential of service based industries in the districts of Assam.

Engineering based industries: Engineering industries like steel fabrication, aluminium door-window

fabrication, small manufacturing units has good prospect in the state considering ever rising local demand

River Transport and Port Township: The state government is planning to increase inland waterways

transportation’s share of cargo traffic from 3% to 10%, making it 35 metric tonnes per annum. The district has

the Brahmaputra and a numbers of its tributaries flowing in the district. Therefore a lot of scope to introduce

ferry services, which will provide safe, efficient and economical service to 18 mn passengers per annum.

Border Trade: The district is sharing international border with Bangladesh and thus has scope to enhance

trade with this country. To facilitate foreign trade with neighbouring country a new initiative was taken to create

all infrastructure facilities for the exporter of the region for development of Trade & Commerce. The State

Government has approved for setting up at Mankachar and Golokganj in Dhuburi district to facilitate border

trade with neighbouring country, Bangladesh.

8. Major Issues / requirement

As per the survey, it is observed that almost all the Potters

are making the earthen pots with old techniques due to the

financial problem. If they are provided financial and

technical support with modern apparatus, definitely

production will increase and price will be reduced with

beautiful shape and design of various earthen pots to meet

the present demand.

9. Presence of capable “Asharikandi Terracotta Doll Making Samabay Samity

27

institutions Ltd.”

10. Thrust Areas Increasing rate of plastic use is creating serious solid

waste pollution and land degradation. Therefore, it is now

becoming in-evitable for maximum use of earthen pots

instead of plastic to save our earth from plastic pollution.

11. Problems & constraints Lack of modern facilities for production.

Lack of expertization on present demand.

Lack of product planning.

Lack of good working condition.

Lack of community enterprise.

Lack of direct marketing linkage.

Lack of awareness on self security.

Lack of knowledge on modernization of different

earthen utensils.

Lack of public awareness on the benefit of earthen

pots.

Present status of the cluster: -

Due to lack of agricultural land, the potter’s communities have no other option apart from making

earthen pots for their survival. Making earthen pots are the only source for their livelihood as they are not

having the agricultural land. Unfortunately due to lack of direct marketing facilities they are even not getting the

actual price of their making utensils.

9.2.2. Jute Cluster at Bagulamari

Present status:

1) Phase wise Design Development Workshops has been conducted in the cluster and after the Design

Development Workshop, the existing but improved cluster products as well as the newly developed products

10. Access to Export Market Jutefibregrade-wise availability, jute diversified products, Adequate arrangement for collection and storage (warehouse)

10. SELF RELIANT INDIA MOVEMENT UNDER FIVE PILLARS OF ATMANIRBHAR BHARAT;

Economy: The economy of the district in particular has a potential to bring change in a big way as it

was an important centre before the bifurcated India and Bangladesh. It was a main centre during the British

which was the gateway of Western Assam state. The Economy of the district can be developing in corporation

with the neighbour country, Bangladesh by opening and developing border trading. So, the state government

had initiated in this line to facilitate border trading in two places, one at Mankachar and another at Golakganj in

Dhubri district. Besides, it can initiate resources base industries like jute related industries, silk textiles,

handicrafts & handloom, embroidering & designing, food processing, etc which could make a big push to the

district economy. Terracotta (means burnt clay) craft was occupies a prominent position throughout the

country and abroad. This craft is practiced among the kumbhakara or Kumara (potter) community of

Asharikandi village near Gauripur in Dhubri district. Pith craft is a living folk art of Kuhila practiced by the

Malakar or Bhuimali communities of Dhubri district residing at Gauripur, Golokganj and Bilasipara area. It is

29

locally known as "Sola" or Kuhila which are available in the marshy land. So the economy of the district can

be develop with the way which the locally endow resources, practice and have sufficient marketing facilities.

Infrstructure: Availability and assess to infrastructure are the primary requirements of socio-

economic progress of a region. Of all the infrastructure facilities, transport and communication, power and

energy, and banking are considered essential sectors. The district has mostly relies upon road transport. Air and

water transport system have not been well developed in Dhubri. Besides, railway connectivity is not sufficient

to meet the transport need of the people. Considering road transport, the average share of road length per

thousand populations is low and it needs to develop and built more connectivity. The communication system for

the rural community in Dhubri district is mainly the postal service. Telecommunication networking has not

touched the most of the rural areas which needs more better connectivity for mobile and digital connection.

The power and energy is one of the most essential for development. The state government had initiated

in all sources to provide the sufficient power and energy. Therefore, the state had installed capacity of power

generating plants –thermal, hydro, gas, solar, and wind to provide the sufficient and require power supply in the

district and in the state.

As per Economic Survey, Assam, 2019-20, Dhubri district had 54 offices of Commercial Banks with a

total deposit of Rs. 2493.2 Crore as against Rs. 1404.2 Crore as credit, the credit deposit ratio (%) of 56.3 of the

district. Also Dhubri district had 12 offices of Regional Rural Banks with a total deposit of Rs. 296.3 Crore as

against Rs. 118.8 Crore as credit, the credit deposit ratio is 37.7 % of the district. The ccommercial banking is

not up the satisfaction in the rural areas of Dhubri. Besides, a sizeable amount of fund is transferred from the

rural areas for low credit worthiness of the rural people.

Technology: Technology is a driving force that leads the country to develop economic or country. The

modern technologies are the education base activities. So it needs a good infrastructure to educate citizen in the

country to adopt technologies and apply the modern technologies in their activities.

The Dhubri district is a rural base district which 89.55 % of the pupolation are living in the rural areas

and around 70% of the population are engaged in the primary economic activities, also 61% literacy rate in the

district. So, the people in the district are less educated and less knowledge about the modern technology.

Therefore, the district needs more emphasis to empower the human resources by imparting regular education as

well as the skill development programmes and training to adopt the modern technology in operating their

economic activities.

Demography: Demography is one of the important factors in the economy development. To build the

country a self-reliance country needs quality human resources. To have quality human resources in the country

needs to educate and empower every citizen in the country. So that every citizen has knowledge of the rights,

duties and power that one has to contribute something for the change and betterment in our country.

The Dhubri district has low literacy rate of 61%, which means less people are adopted the modern

technologies in their economic activities. Therefore, a good number of population in the district, the quality of

the human resource are primitive and needs more emphasis for modern and formal education system. It needs to

encourage the citizen to go for modern education system and adopt the modern technologies. The state

government had also taken various steps to empower through incentive like scholarship, giving prize in the

30

form of laptop, bicycle, two wheeler etc., which are doing well in studies beside the regular free government

education institutions system in the state.

Demand: Demand and supply are the important chain factors in the economic. However, the smooth

functioning of the demand and supply and to meets at the desirable position, it needs citizen to have an ability,

good knowledge, infrastructure about it. So that the full potential can be achieve in the economy.

The Dhubri district is one of the backward districts in Assam. The large number of population in the

district are engage in primary sector for their living and economic activities. Most of them are just self-sustain

and living in the rural areas. Therefore, the people in the district have less ability or capacity to demand or

supply from their activities. However, the government had taken various steps to push the economic

development by like introducing MGNREGA and other development works, creating the border trading

facilities with Bangladesh at Mankachar and Golakganj in the Dhubri district. Beside it, Industrial estate was set

up at Gauripur, Marketing infrastructure for agro food processing at Raniganj which could help to push for

industrialisation with the resources base of the district.
