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 SocioEconomic 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. (Dr. M. Angamuthu, IAS) Deputy Commissioner Bongaigaon

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.

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.

3.3. Literacy 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 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.

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.

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.

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
16
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.

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

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 .

6.C Farm Machinery Training Component 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.

(F) Financial and Economic Analysis: -The farmers & traders of Horticultural crops of the Districts are willing to extend their co- operation 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

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) Estimated cost

Vegetables 6,807
Spices 2,174
Area in Ha. Total 13,569
2. ONGOING SCHEMES : Technology Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture, MM-II. 3. CONSTRAINTS & GAPS: The scheme is being implemented by utilizing the Central Fund. But it is not enough to increase the area under Horticulture crops to the desired level. Moreover, the minorities living mostly in char & charlike area, which is not feasible for all types of fruit crops, except banana. Therefore, the Multi Sectoral Plan for Minorities has been prepared incorporating the compact area demonstration programmes of Potato & Banana with latest high yielding varieties, training of farmers in recent development of cultivation practices, establishment of Mushroom production units. To achieve this farmers have to be motivated and helped with the supply of high yielding planting materials.
4. PROPOSED INTERVENTION UNDER MULTI SECTORAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR MINORITIES: 4.1. COMPACT AREA DEMONSTRATION OF VEGETABLES & FRUITS:- Based on the Agro climatic situation, it is proposed to expand area of Potato & Banana. Under this programme, Seed/ Seedlings of high yielding latest varieties will be procured and supplied to the farmers. The compact area demonstration programme of the two crops with 20 Nos. of units of 10 Ha for potato and 50 Nos. of units of 1 Ha for Banana have been proposed, covering a total area of 170 Ha. in three years where 37% of the cost will be borne by the beneficiary. The scheme will be implemented with suitable beneficiary share of Rs. 72.34 lakhs out of the total cost of Rs. 267.34 lakhs. The target will be adjusted accordingly.

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.

“MULTI-SECTORAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR MINORITY” OF BONGAIGAON DISTRICT
FOR PUBLIC HEALTH ENGINEERING
PROJECT COST – Rs. 1.50 CRORE 2007-08 To 2011-12

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)
(b)
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
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.

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.

FOR DAIRY DEVELOPMENT
PROJECT COST – Rs. 1.50 CRORE 2007-08 To 2011-12

CONCEPT 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.

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 nondescriptive 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.
124
4. GOAL AND STRATEGIES: 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.

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.

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) Total Muslims Christian Sikhs Buddhists Jains Others Not Minority stated 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 358372 339712 18010 113 147 56 8 326 (45.08) (42.73) (2.27) (0.01) (0.02) (0.01) (0.001) (0.04) 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. Percentage of workers by religious groups in total rural workers Religion Hindu Muslim Christian Total Rural

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. 4. GOAL AND STRATEGIES: 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. 5. OUTCOME AND BENEFIT: 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. 7. APPROXIMATE COST: 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 2008-2009 & 2009-2010 2010-2011 & 2011-2012
Physical Target Financial Target Construction of EDTH with arrangement of Rs. 30,09700/furniture. Completion of training program on jute craft Rs. 27,90,000/(10 no batches)
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. 11. LAND AVAILABILITY: There are sufficient land available at the locations mentioned above for construction of EDTHs. 12. INTENDED BENEFICIARIES: 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
14. IMPLEMENTING AGENCY: 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. 2) For Entrepreneurship Development Training Hall at Rowmari, Abhayapuri– Asstt. Director of Industries & Commerce, Abhayapuri, North Salmara Sub Divn. 17. PROJECT AT A GLANCE : PHASE I : Construction of 2 ( two) nos “ Entrepreneurship Development Training Halls”- one in bongaigaon sub division and the other in North salmara sub division. Estimated Cost:-
Rs. 30,09,700/-
PHASE II : Arrangement of training programmes on
jute craft/ jute diversified
products for the unemployed youths of minority community of the district with an objective of employment generation. Estimated Cost:-

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

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. 2. 3.
4. 5. 6.
FarmForestry/Agroforestry 120 ha Medicinal and Aromatic Plantation- 68 ha Nursery:- i) MAP Nursery (0.5ha each 2nos.) 1.00 ha ii) Forest Nursery 0.5 ha. Income Generating Activities :Providing bee hives to farmers 150 nos. Community Welfare :Providing Bio Gas Plant 27nos. Awareness/Training of farmers on bee hives MAP cultivation/Nursery

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 trees/MAP and help in selection and identification of the species required for his own private land planting for different micro-climatic and adapting conditions.
3. STRATEGIES: To implement the scheme the following measures will be taken up (1)
Awareness programme/training/demonstration would be carried out in selected sites of project area.
(2)
(i) Planting material would be made available at project cost in five nurseries to be set up at different places.

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

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.

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. So, based on the above concept a Multisectoral Development Plan for minorities with a Detail Project Report is prepared by the Employment Exchange, Bongaigaon with the following aims & objectives.

D.
Organize training programmes for educated unemployed youths of communities on different self employment ventures:-
Minority
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.

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)

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

Others/ not stated 11 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 sectors1. 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.

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.
3. GOAL AND STRATEGIES: 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.
4. OUTCOME AND BENEFIT: 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
6. APPROXIMATE COST: 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.

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.

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, socioeconomic 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.
