Abstract:
Assam is endowed with dynamic rivers and lakes which in turn facilitates a rich diversity of fish species. The western Assam geographically blessed with such a river named Tipkai. Tipkai River is a Himalayan tributary of the Brahmaputra River in the Indian state of Assam which raises in the Bhutan hills flows through the Kokrajhar (BTR) and through Dhubri district of Assam and joins the Brahmaputra River at Chatakurachar of Dhubri district. The present study deals with the extensive Ichthyological fields survey conducted over a period of oneyear from January 2021 to December 2022 based on the data collected from six locations of the river from the Mahamaya (Bagribari) to Chatakurachar. The survey revealed the occurrence of great range of diversity of fishes representing 106 species distributed under 10 orders and 31 families. Among the recorded fish species 4 species are Vulnerable (VU), 2 species are Near Threatened (NT), 3 species are Endangered (EN),86 species are least concern (LC) while 3 species are Not Evaluated (NE), 2 species are Data Deficient (DD) with 65 genus, 10 order and 30 families. The highest order Cypriniformes with 49 species, Siluriformes 27 species Perciformes 17 species. The site Khoraghat represents the lowest fish diversity among the six sites during the study period might be due to sand mining and other anthropogenic reasons which needs further analysis of water quality. Thus, this beautiful river, a small tributary from Bhutan serves the land cover and maintains its beautiful biodiversity and also the lifeline for mankind.

Abstract:
The variety described here is representative of colloquial Assamese spoken in the eastern districts of Assam. Assam is a North-Eastern state of India, therefore Assamese and creoles of Assamese like Nagamese are spoken in the different North-Eastern states of Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, and also the neighbouring country of Bhutan. Approximately 15 million people speak Assamese in India (seeEthnologue, Gordon 2005, which lists 15,374,000 speakers including those in Bhutan and Bangladesh). In the pre-British era (until 1826), the kingdom of Assam was ruled by Ahom kings and the then capital was based in the Eastern district of Sibsagar and later in Jorhat. American missionaries established the first printing press in Sibsagar and in the year 1846 published a monthly periodicalArunodoiusing the variety spoken in and around Sibsagar as the point of departure. This is the immediate reason which led to the acceptance of the formal variety spoken in eastern Assam (which roughly comprises of all the districts of Upper Assam). Having said that, the language spoken in these regions of Assam also show a certain degree of variation from the written form of the ‘standard’ language. As against the relative homogeneity of the variety spoken in eastern Assam, variation is considerable in certain other districts which would constitute the western part of Assam, comprising of the district of Kamrup up to Goalpara and Dhubri (see also Kakati 1962 and Grierson 1968). In contemporary Assam, for the purposes of mass media and communication, a certain neutral blend of eastern Assamese, without too many distinctive eastern features, like /ɹ/ deletion, which is a robust phenomenon in the eastern varieties, is still considered to be the norm. The lexis of Assamese is mainly Indo-Aryan, but it also has a sizeable amount of lexical items related to Bodo among other Tibeto-Burman languages (Kakati 1962), and there are a substantial number of items borrowed from Hindi, English and Bengali in recent times.

Abstract:
An on-farm trial under Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Baksa was undertaken to evaluate the performance of two biofortified sweet potato varieties (Bhu Sona and Bhu Krishna) against a check variety Dergaon Red. The trial was conducted in eight different locations of Baksa and Dhubri district of Assam following scientific cultivation practices. Assessing the novel varieties for performance and economic return were taken as primary objectives while designing the experiment. Randomised Block Design was used to lay out the design and statistical analysis of the growth and yield characters shows significant differences between the three varieties. The variety Bhu Sona exhibited the highest vine length (214 cm), tuber length (18.6 cm), tuber weight (152.3 g), and average yield (16.7 tonnes/ha). In some significant yield characteristics like marketable tuber yield per plant and tuber yield per plant, the two biofortified varieties were at par with each other. And with respect to days taken for harvesting from planting, Bhu Sona and Dergaon Red were at par with each other with 109.3 days. The economic analysis reflected a maximum gross income of Rs. 253500 per hectare in Bhu Sona which was 26.8% more than the check variety. The variety Bhu Krishna also exhibited a 14% increase in gross return from the check variety. The trial indicated that the cultivation of varieties Bhu Sona and Bhu Krishna is feasible under Assam conditions contributing higher economic return to the farmers.

Abstract:
Labeling speech in an audio file with appropriate dialect labels is the aim of a dialect identification system. This paper presents a method of using convolution neural networks (CNN) to identify four Assamese dialects: Goalporia dialect, Kamrupi dialect, Eastern Assamese dialect, and Central Assamese dialect. This study employed the speech patterns of four major Assamese regional dialects: the Central Dialects spoken in and around the district of Nagaon; the Eastern Assamese dialect spoken in the districts of Sibsagar and its neighboring areas; the Kamrupi dialect spoken in the districts of Kamrup, Nalbari, Barpeta, Kokarajhar, and some areas of Bongaigaon; and the Goaplari dialect spoken in the Goaplara, Dhuburi, and a portion of Bongaigaon district. Over the course of two hours, audio samples from each of the four dialects were used to train the classifier. Mel spectrogram pictures, which are produced from two to four second divisions of raw audio input with varying audio quality, are used by the CNN. The system's performance is also analyzed in relation to the lengths of the train and test audio samples. The proposed CNN model achieves an accuracy of 90.82 percent, which may be the best when compared to machine learning models.

Abstract:
The issue of Bangladeshi illegal migration has troubled the state of Assam for decades. The lack of authentic data on illegal migrant flows only adds to the discomfort. The illegal Bangladeshi migrants issue tends to dominate the political, economic and social discourses in Assam. The lack of data on migration adds to a sense of being „under siege‟ by outsiders as no one is sure as to the number of migrants visibly infiltrating all walks of life in Assam. The recent disturbances in Kokrajhar and Dhubri districts of Assam have once again brought the issue of ethnic clash between Muslim and Bodo communities. There is no evidence to suggest that the latest violence is a direct consequence of illegal immigration. The clash between Muslims and Bodos is often misinterpreted as a clash between illegal Bangladeshis and indigenous people. This clash is due to the political and communal conspiracy created by some fundamentalists and political leaders to gain their political mileage. As a consequence, a large number of innocent men, women and children lost their lives. This has certainly pushed back the development issues of the state and destroyed the fraternity between the two communities. This paper will try to examine that the recent clashes in Kokrajhar and Dhubri districts are not due to the problem of migration but the fears of losing land and identities connected with land.

Abstract:
The usefulness of the Dhuti dam and its importance for crop irrigation at the Balaghat station, located on the Waingang River in Madhya Pradesh, India, has been the focus of research on rainfall fluctuations in the Wainganga sub-basin. Wainganga is the largest peninsular river in India. Wainganga River flows for 635.40 kilometers. Until its confluence with the Wardha River, the Wainganga River has a catchment area of 51,000 km2. The basin spans the five districts of Maharashtra and three districts of Madhya Pradesh. The Wainganga Basin is also mentioned in "The Jungle Book" by the famous writer Rudyard Kipling. The Wainganga Basin is known for the production of rice and, more specifically, Chinour. Balaghat "Chinour" rice obtained G-Tag certificate in 2021, and is now internationally renowned and exported. Rice crops are irrigated mainly by water from the Dhuti dam throughout the year. The dam is very important for the development of rice crops in the region. Sir Jorge, a British engineer, built the dam between 1911 and 1921. It is one of the oldest earthen dams in India, sealed with lime mortar. Floods have affected the cultivated area and water demand in the Balaghat district area for the past few years. The intensity and duration of rainfall varies from year to year along with changes in climatic conditions. The effect of flooding in a given season, as well as basin factors such as variations in rainfall, coefficient of variance, and agricultural damage were examined.

Abstract:
The Bodos are important tribes of the North-Eastern India, particularly Assam. They belong to the Indo-Mongolian group of tribes and are inducted as Kiratas. They are mainly scattered in the districts of Kokrajhar, Goalpara, Barpeta, Bongaigaon, Baksa, Dhubri etc. The traditional Bodos celebrate Kherai as one of their significant religious festivals Brahma (2008) 14. They perform Kherai for well-being of their families, to yield good harvest and prosperity of the society. Kherai is a religious custom in which the primitive spiritual almighty is prayed earnestly. It is a prayer institution of Bwrai Bathou or Sibrai, the supreme deity of Kherai festival. Though there are mainly eighteen types of dances associated with Kherai puja but there are some additional dance-drama forms which are also counted after those eighteen dances and the main dancer of the puja is the doudini Brahma (2003) 20.

Abstract:
The Koch language is spoken in the states of Assam (Goalpara, Nagaon, Dhubri, Kokrajhar, Chirang, Bongaigao, Barpeta, Baksa, Udalguri, Karbi Anglong, Golaghat districts), Meghalaya (West Garo Hills, South-West Garo Hills, South Garo Hills and East Khasi Hills Districts). Koches are found in West Bengal (Northern part) and also in Bangladesh. The speaker strength of Koch in India according to 2011 census is 36,434. Koch community is the bilingual speakers of Assamese, Bengali, Garo, Hindi, and English. Contact situations of Koch with Assamese and Bengali languages have made the language vulnerable to language shift. The UNESCO report mentions Koch as ‘Definitely Endangered’1. Koch has gained the status of a scheduled tribe in Meghalaya in 1987. Kondakov (2013) traces six distinct dialects of Koch, viz., Wanang, Koch-Rabha (Kocha), Harigaya, Margan, Chapra and Tintekiya. He (2013:24) states, “The relationship between the six Koch speech varieties are rather complex. They represent a dialect chain that stretches out from Koch-Rabha in the north to Tintekiya Koch in the south.” This is diagrammatically represented as - Koch-Rabha(Kocha)→Wanang→Harigaya→Margan, Chapra→Tintekiya where the adjacent dialects exhibit more lexical similarity than those at the ends. Nine ethno-linguistic varieties of Koch (also mentioned in Kondakov, 2013:5) have been reported during field investigation. These are Harigaya, Wanang, Tintekiya, Margan, Chapra, Satpariya, Sankar, Banai and Koch Mandai.

Full text
Abstract:
The study examines the impact of climate change in recent years on apple shift to higher altitude in Himachal Pradesh based on climate information and farmers perceptions. It is evident that temperature in apple growing regions of Himachal Pradesh showed increasing trends whereas precipitation showed decreasing trends. The temperature trends in apple growing regions of Kullu and Shimla indicated 1.8 to 4.1 0C rise in past two decades which reflected in decrease of chill units (CU) hours accumulations. The annual snow fall decreasing rate of 36.8 mm with decreasing trends of snowfall during early winters (October & December) and late winters (March and April) clearly indicated the shrinking winter period in high hills. The CU hours showed decreasing trends upto 2400 meter above mean sea level (amsl) from Bajaura in district, Kullu at 1221 m amsl to Sarbo in district Kinnaur at 2400 m amsl. The Dhundi station situated at 2700 m amsl showed increasing trend of chill unit at the rate of 25.0 CUs per year. The increasing trends of chill units at 2700 m amsl suggested that area is becoming suitable for apple cultivation in higher altitude. These findings have also been supported by the farmers’ perceptions which clearly reflected that apple cultivation is expanding to higher altitude in Lahaul and Spitti and Kinnaur. The average landuse per farm in Lahual and Spitti showed more than two percent shift towards apple cultivation but it showed reverse trend in other apple growing regions of Himachal Pradesh. The income of the farmers increased more than 10 percent in district Lahual and Spitti whereas it showed a decrease of more than 27 percent in Kullu and Shimla districts from fruits in recent decade compared to 1995. The data on area under apple cultivation also compounded statement that apple cultivation is expanding in Lahaul and Spitti in recent decade. The climate change has demonstrated its impact of decreasing productivity of apple crop in recent years.

Abstract:
Purpose This paper aims to analyze farm-level technical inefficiency of rice farming in Assam, India, using a multiple-output generalized stochastic frontier framework. Design/methodology/approach Primary data for this study were collected in 2009-2010 from 310 farm-households in four non-contiguous districts of Dhubri, Morigaon, Dibrugarh and Cachar that are located in different agro-climatic regions of Assam. Based on a Cobb–Douglas production function for multiple rice varieties, the paper simultaneously estimates the generalized stochastic production frontier and examines effects of exogenous factors on farm-level technical inefficiency. Findings Results of this study show that the average technical inefficiency of farms is 8.5 per cent in the sample. Further, inefficiency is lower in the frequently flood prone areas, and availability of government support helps reduce such inefficiency as well. However, technical efficiency is higher for the Muslim farm-households, and it decreases with greater land fragmentation. The study also finds that the use of primitive technology like bullock reduces technical efficiency of rice farming. Originality/value This paper is based on a novel data set that has specially been collected to examine productivity and efficiency of rice cultivation in the flood plains of Assam that has not been studied before. Further, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper is the first one to model rice production as a multiple-output stochastic production frontier and analyze technical efficiency of rice production accordingly.

Abstract:
Currently, natural hazards are a significant concern as they contribute to increased vulnerability, environmental degradation, and loss of life, among other consequences. Climate change and human activities are key factors that contribute to various natural hazards such as floods, landslides, droughts, and deforestation. Assam state in India experiences annual floods that significantly impact the local environment. In 2022, the flooding affected approximately 1.9 million people and 2930 villages, resulting in the loss of 54 lives. This study utilized the Google Earth Engine (GEE) cloud-computing platform to investigate the extent of flood inundation and deforestation, analyzing pre-flood and post-flood C band Sentinel-1 GRD datasets. Identifying pre- and post-flood areas was conducted using Landsat 8–9 OLI/TIRS datasets and the modified and normalized difference water index (MNDWI). The districts of Cachar, Kokrajhar, Jorhat, Kamrup, and Dhubri were the most affected by floods and deforestation. The 2022 Assam flood encompassed approximately 24,507.27 km2 of vegetation loss and 33,902.49 km2 of flood inundation out of a total area of 78,438 km2. The most affected areas were the riverine regions, the capital city Dispur, Guwahati, southern parts of Assam, and certain eastern regions. Flood hazards exacerbate environmental degradation and deforestation, making satellite-based information crucial for hazard and disaster management solutions. The findings of this research can contribute to raising awareness, planning, and implementing future disaster management strategies to protect both the environment and human life.

Deformities of non biting midge larvae’s mouthparts are considered as indicators of environmental degradation that caused by water pollutants like pesticides, heavy metals, organic contaminants etc. The present investigation was aimed to assess the effects of 3 pesticides, viz. Cartap Hydrochloride, Carbofuran and Fipronil on deformities of chironomid larvae of the Rice fields of Village Dhunui; Memari Block-II of Burdwan district in West Bengal. The study area is dominated by the species of the genus Chironomus of chironomid community. Concurrently six (6) species were considered. The average percentage of mouthpart deformities was 14% in all chironomid larvae. Highest degree of malformation was noticed in Chironomus circumdatus in which more than 18.90% of all specimens were affected. However, further investigative efforts are essential to investigate the actual explanation in support of the occurrence of high degree of deformities in chironomid.

Abstract:
Prayer times in the Parepare city, such as at the Great Mosque of Parepare, the Senggol Grand Mosque of Parepare, and mosques in all sub-districts of Parepare City still occur differences and time differences. This is based on the author's observation on 18 October 2021. The time of maghrib prayer based on the adhan varies. One mosque calls to prayer at 5:53 pm, while another calls to prayer at 6:00 pm, 5:59 pm, and the latest at 6:02 pm. This problem is the basis of research on prayer time variations in Parepare City with a Contemporary Hisab Review and Islamic Law Analysis. The objective of this research is first, to describe the way or method of determining prayer times in Parepare City Mosques. Second, to analyse the accuracy of prayer times in Parepare City Mosques in the review of Contemporary Hisab. Third, to analyse, describe and compare the difference of prayer times in Parepare City. The result of this research is that the method of determining the prayer time of Parepare City Mosques varies (Ministry of Religion Schedule, Sheikh Sa'aduddin Djambek's Timetable, Prayer Time Application, Hisab Muhammadiyah Version). The accuracy of the praying time of the mosques in Parepare City from the perspective of contemporary hisab has three categories; accurate, inaccurate and passing the time of ikhtiyat (less and more not passing 2 minutes), inaccurate and fatal (passing 2 minutes). The variation of prayer times in the Parepare city from the perspective of Islamic law is that the schedule of the five daily prayers (Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha' and Fajr) at the Al-Azhar Islamic Centre mosque, Al-Muttaqin Mosque and Nurul Asiah Mosque (especially for the Fajr prayer) is invalid, because it has not yet entered the time for the obligation to pray.

Abstract:
Gender inequality refers to the inequality between men and women in any aspect. Educational Inequality is the unequal distribution of educational attainment including educational opportunities and achievement within a particular region. The educational attainment between men and women always varies in our society. The literacy gap between male and female is not only found in Dhubri district alone but in the state of Assam as well. The educational achievement and work participation of women is less than men in the Dhubri district of Assam. The educational achievement and work participation gap between male and female are very high in the district of Dhubri as compared to the other districts of the state. This is mainly because of various factors such as socio-cultural background of the communities; limited access to high quality education, School environment, lack of awareness etc. The study area is populated by various communities such as Muslims, Bengalis, Rabhas, Garos, Bodos, Rajbongshis etc of which Muslims are the dominant and girls are given less preference in the Muslim society in terms of education for which there is a vast gap in the educational attainment between male and female in Dhubri district. The present study will help in reducing the inequalities, be it in education, work participation, economic upliftment etc. The objective of the study is to understand the factors of inequality between men and women in terms of educational achievement and work participation of the region and also to suggest measures to address the issue

Abstract:
India cannot be developed without development in rural areas. Villages of the country are backward in every respect. Agriculture is the backbone for each of the rural economy. Dhubri district in Assam is not an exception to the general features of the villages of the country. Development of the district is not possible without active participation of the rural people in the channel of economic activities. Main objectives of the study are to know the utilisation of local resources to form resource-based industries and development in rural areas and to recommend suggestions to make utilisation of local resources for economic development. Study is based on secondary data, observation, and interaction with the rural people. In the district, growth rate of population is very high, and it is 24.44 percent. 89.55% people of the district live in rural areas. Literacy rate of the district is as low as 58.34 percent. The district is poor very poor and lagging other districts of the state. All-round development in the villages can be achieved with the establishment of local resource-based industrialisation. But this process involves several problems in rural areas like unskilled labour, rural poverty, infrastructural bottlenecks, flood problem, lack of training institute, etc. The mighty Brahmaputra flows along the district and this is boon for the district. Water can be utilised for fishery, irrigation in agricultural field and water transport purpose. There is huge production in agricultural field due to alluvial soil on the bank of the river Brahmaputra. So, there is greater possibility of growing agro-based industries. With the utilisation of local resources with people’s active participation and eliminating all hurdles faced on the path, rural economic development can be possible.

Abstract:
The present study delves into the Socio-economic Status of Farmers of Char area of Dhubri district of Assam. The study was confined to the selected Char areas of the district, namely Faujdar Char, Simlabari and Bamunpara Part IV village. The quantitative study collected information using personal interview of each farmer through a semi-structured questionnaire. A multistage purposive cum random sampling design was followed for the purpose. A total sample of 150 farmers were randomly selected from the three indicated villages during 2021. This study revealed that farmers were of poor economic condition with low literacy and knowledge about agricultural methods. The farmers grow only rice, jute, summer and winter vegetables and without any awareness about their improved management practices. It is imperative that the introduction of modern agricultural technologies can uplift the present socioeconomic status of the farming community in the Char areas.

Abstract:
As water is the most essential compound for living organism. Excess heavy metal causes health problems though some of them are essential in trace amounts. In this work, water samples were collected from 10 different locations of rapid developing Bilasiparatown. The water samples are then analyzed with standard methods for the determination of heavy metals namely As, Cr, Fe, Ni, and Pb. Arsenic concentrations of all the sample were within the WHO permissible limit (10µg/L). The average concentration of Cr, Fe, Ni, and Pb was found higher than the prescribed limit of WHO in most of the sources. The town is industrially underdeveloped, chemical contamination from industrial sources is insignificant, yet the water cannot be categorized as pollution free. Contaminated water is generally responsible for the spread, recurrence, and fatal consequences of various diseases.

Abstract:
Rice is the staple food in India. The varieties of rice used for cultivation vary with land situation. A study was conducted to know the adoption of Assam Agricultural University (AAU)’s rice varieties by the farmers in Dhubri district of the state of Assam. To conduct the study, on adoption of the said improved rice varieties, a total of 120 numbers of farmers from three Agricultural Development Officer (ADO) circles were selected. The study was conducted from July, 2021 to February 2022. Multiple regression analysis was done to determine the factors responsible for the adoption of AAU rice varieties. The study revealed that the AAU developed varieties like Ranjit sub1, Bahadur Sub 1, Prafulla, Gitesh, Swarna Sub 1 were adopted by farmers for flood affected situation. For flood free situation, the AAU developed varieties like Ranjit, Bahadur, Mahsuri were adopted. Out of the different varieties, Ranjit and Ranjit sub 1 variety was adopted by the highest numbers of farmers. The factor availability of seeds is significant at 0.01 level and educational qualification of farmers and occurrence of flood was significant at 0.05 level.

Abstract:
The Inland fisheries and aquaculture play an important role in providing cheap animal protein to the human dietary composition of the rural Assam in India. Fish groups like carps, clupeids, perches, murrels, catfishes, minnows etc. comprise a good number of species in the region. Apart from the riverine fisheries different wetland fisheries associated with the two major rivers, namely the Brahmaputra and Barak in Assam have contributed a major part in fish production. The aim of the present study is to enquire about the numerical relative abundance of fishes in Chandakhal wetland located in Dhubri district, in the state of Assam, India. This is an investigative study based on the data collected from fish catch at the designated landing stations. It finds that the numerical relative abundance of most of the valued food fishes falling under Major Fish Group is less than 1.00% and the total numerical relative abundance of the Major Group fishes constitutes only 4.05%. Among the Major Group fishes Labeo calbasu has the highest relative abundance of 0.74%. Under the Intermediate fish group, the most abundant species is Macrognathus pancalus having the numerical relative abundance 5.58%. Again, among the Minor Group, Lepidocephalichthys guntea is the most relatively abundant fish species whose numerical relative abundance is 7.92%. The ‘near threatened’ species like Wallago attu and Chitala chitala are having relative abundances of 0.23% and 0.09% respectively and the ‘endangered’ species Clarias magur is found to have the relative abundance as low as 0.08% in the present study.

Abstract:
This article problematises ‘sainthood’ as a sacred spiritual construct by the understanding and appropriation of the same. We have examined claims of Chishti and Dhuddi biraderies (endogamous kinship groups) as spiritually elevated and socially superior groups based on our recent fieldwork in three villages in the district of Vehari, Punjab. We take a case study of Chishti biraderi’ s claims of spiritual ascendency because of their descendance from Shaykh Farid (d. 1265 CE). Chishties’ position as chosen ones is contested by Dhuddi biraderi who claim their descendance from an equally famous Sufi saint Dewan Baba Haji Sher (d. 752 CE). Our research shows how claims of saintly kinship reflect the power struggle in rural Punjab where the appropriation of saintly kinship as well as contestations of similar claims are advanced by zamindar (land owner) patrons to reproduce their position of power and privilege.

Abstract:
AbstractFloods represent a significant threat to human life, property, and agriculture, especially in low-lying floodplains. This study assesses flood susceptibility in the Brahmaputra River basin, which spans China, India, Bhutan, and Bangladesh—an area notorious for frequent flooding due to the saturation of river water intake capacity. We developed and evaluated several innovative models for predicting flood susceptibility by employing Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques. The models showed robust performance, evidenced by Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (AUC-ROC) scores exceeding 70% and Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Squared Error (MSE), and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) scores below 30%. Our findings indicate that approximately one-third of the studied region is categorized as moderately to highly flood-prone, while over 40% is classified as low to very low flood-risk areas. Specific regions with high to very high flood susceptibility include Dhemaji, Dibrugarh, Lakhimpur, Majuli, Darrang, Nalbari, Barpeta, Bongaigaon, and Dhubri districts in Assam; Coochbihar and Jalpaiguri districts in West Bengal; and Kurigram, Gaibandha, Bogra, Sirajganj, Pabna, Jamalpur, and Manikganj districts in Bangladesh. Owing to their strong performance and the suitability of the training datasets, we recommend the application of the developed MCDM techniques and ML algorithms in geographically similar areas. This study holds significant implications for policymakers, regional administrators, environmentalists, and engineers by informing flood management and prevention strategies, serving as a climate change adaptive response within the Brahmaputra River basin.

Abstract:
"In agricultural sector, many policy reforms in India are introduced to achieve the target of doubling farmers’ income. Most of the recent studies and policy focuses on rural roads, while the critical part, which is still unaddressed, is the farm access roads (Pandan or Dhuri roads). We did a study in Amravati district of the Maharashtra state on the farm access roads. Farms are becoming inaccessible because of absence of proper road. Farmer are not able to take high value crops, scheduled farm operations are getting distorted and sometimes bringing the harvest from farms to home or market becomes difficult. In addition, owing to accessibility issues, farmers are not able to cultivate land, which result in low productivity and low income, especially small and marginal farmers, who are the majority, have no capacity to pay for or build farm roads. We recommend a convergence “farm road access model” implemented in Amravati district, dovetailing schemes of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee (MGNREGA), state funds and farmer’s contribution or Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds. The two types of roads under this model are as, low cost farm access road of ` 1,50,000 per kilometre and high cost road of ` 17,00,000 per kilometre. The impact of farm access roads is that farmers are able to get access to their land throughout the year and are able to do farm operations timely. Overall, it resulted in increase in farmers’ income by one third. Therefore, we strongly suggest replicating the Amravati farm access road (Har Khet ko Rasta) model across the nation."
