North Cachar Hills

Agriculture & allied activities

 Agriculture, Horticulture & Marketing

        All the tribes living in this hill district are mainly depending on agriculture. The primitive system of Jhuming cultivation are common among all the tribes. The practice of Jhuming not only destroy the micro flora and fauna but also affect ecological balance by destroying forest.

        So, an attempt has been made through this scheme to replace Jhum by permanent cultivation, terrace cultivation. Moreover the Soil of this hilly region is very suitable summer as well as winter paddy.  

        Horticulture is the main occupation in the district of N.C. Hills farmers. The altitude varies from 800meters to 1200 meters and average rainfall around 2300 mm and temperatures varies from 6 to 12 degree C in winter and 17 -33 degree C in summer. Out of total geographical area of 4888 sq. km. around 1.88 lakh hectares is suitable for cultivation and 80% of the cultivable land is suitable for horticultural crops. Potential for horticultural development is very bright along with canning and processing industry as this district produces huge quantity of quality pineapple, oranges and ginger through purely organic method as use of agrochemicals is virtually non-existent.

        However, all the tribes of this hilly district are mainly dependant on destructive slash and burn method of cultivation or Jhuming and in the process forest cover has been largely denuded and ecosystem has been damaged. According to topography, rainfall and other geographical factors the district has been divided into three parts, consisting of the development blocks,

1^st  Part--- Diyungbra ITDP and Diyung valley Block.- This particular area comprises  mainly of foothill and plains is suitable for field crops such as Sugarcane, Maize, Oil seeds, paddy, pulses and tropical horticultural crops like coconut, areca nut, cashew nut, mango, mousambi, litchi etc.

2^nd  Part---Sangbar development block has both low altitude and high altitude areas and crops suitable are both tropical and sub tropical crops.   Main cultivated crops are sugarcane, Ginger, Turmeric, Pineapple and oranges.

3^rd Part ---comprises mainly of Jatinga valley block and Harangajao ITDP. Major crops grown are Paddy, Oranges, Ginger, Turmeric, Girenium etc.

EXISTING SCHEMES BEING PRESENTLY IMPLEMENTED

Major state sector schemes that under implementation are as follows

. Saturation of HYV.

. Dev. of Sugarcane. .

. Dev. of pulses.

. Dev. of oilseed.

. Farmers' Institute.

. Incentive to Farmers.

. Plant Protection campaign.

. Bio- Fertilizer and Manures.

IMPACT OF EXISTING SCHEMES.

        After five long decades of development efforts total area under settled cultivation has risen to around 33 thousand hectare and there has been increase in the production of food grains like paddy, oilseeds and noticeable among them are paddy, sugarcane pineapple and oranges. Vegetable cultivation has been nonexistent among tribal farmers even a few decades back but now it's getting popular. Though, area under Jhuming has not decreased, dependence on Jhuming has diminished significantly mainly due to increase in area under settled cultivation and introduction of HYV and improved and scientific farming practices. Area under horticulture and paddy has significantly and average production of paddy in the district is higher than the state average.

CONSTRAINTS AND GAPS

       * Roads and communication is the primary hurdle in the way of agril development hampering both developmental activities in the interior villages.

       *Adoption and use of modern farming knowledge and technology leaves much to be desired mainly due to remoteness of villages, lack of all weather roads, insurgency and the relatively backward  tribal populace.

       *In case of field crops more than 95% area is under single cropping system due to low status of Farm mechanization, and weak agril extension system owing to communication and insurgency problems.

PROPOSED INTERVENTION UNDER RSVY

. Area expansion drive under Oil seeds, Pulses, Tuber crops in part -A areas is being proposed to cover an area of 1108 hectares with financial outlay of  Rs.4, 42,00,580.00 @ Rs.37, 843.00 per hectare, over a period of three years.

. Farmers' field level training & demonstration on appropriate technology to inculcate the theories and principles of sustainable and eco-friendly methods of permanent cultivation against the prevalent destructive jhuming practices. It is proposed to take up 75 numbers of such training and demonstration on Integrated pest management (IPM) and Integrated Nutrient Management(INM) in five Development Block areas over a period of three years with  proposed allocation of Rs.11.2 Lakhs.@ 15,000.00 per Trng. & Demonstration covering 40 nos. of trainee/training total beneficiary 75X40 = 3000 nos.

. Establishment of 60 nos. of mechanized ‘gur’ making units to be managed  by 60 nos. of SHG already engaged in sugarcane cultivation in sugarcane belt with a financial outlay of Rs. 60 Lakhs.

. Organised irrigation under govt. sector being utterly inadequate there is felt need among tribal farmers for water pumps mainly for paddy cultivation, which is the staple food of the tribes. Hence, for lift irrigation purpose  it is proposed to provide 200 nos. of 5 HP diesel Pump with a financial outlay of Rs.44.00 lakh @ Rs.22,000.00 per pump and planting materials like litchi, cashew nut, banana, assam lemon, moushambi, guava and vanilla etc. will be provided to all the farmers with an allocation of Rupees 30 lakhs for three years @ Rs.10.00 lakhs per year. The total subsidy up to 70% would be provided and 30% contribution would be borne by  the beneficiaries. The modern technology as well as know how of cultivation and demerits of jhuming cultivation would be published in pamphlets and displayed in sign board in local languages so that all the cultivators can understand.

To increase the cropping intensity of N.C.Hills district from 107% at present to  120% over the span of next three years.

Apart from traditional winter paddy and jhum paddy, spring paddy and summer paddy are proposed to be grown with the help of field irrigation with diesel pump.

The diesel pump with accessories will be supplied to the beneficiaries where water source is available with 70% subsidy and the beneficiaries shall bear the cost of digging canals, other expenditure like diesel and maintenance. The diesel pump sets are proposed to be provided in the plain areas like Diyungmukh, maibang, Harangajao and Langting area.

.  Decreased dependence on destructive jhuming practices.

.  Improved level of Self-sufficiency in cereals, oil seeds, pulses.

. Improvement of farming knowledge and farming skill of the tribal farmers.

 .  Increase in irrigation potential and food production through  power pump &    power tiller apart from creation of more than 300 direct and indirect employment avenues.

. Better knowledge of eco friendly and green methods of cultivation through IPM (integrated pest management) practices. 3000 farmers will be benefited.

. Discouragement of jhuming, encouragement of sustainable permanent cultivation practices. Likelihood of more jhum areas to come under settled cultivation.

. Introduction of scientific grain storage facility for the first time in N.C.Hills and almost 200 farmers families will be benefited

.  It is proposed to bring 960 ha. of land from age old destructive jhum.

Abstract of all the schemes mentioned above is shown below.

Horticulture

        Horticulture is the main occupation of the people in the district of N,C, Hills and 80% of the cultivable land is suitable for horticultural crops and potential of horticultural development is highly promising owing to suitable agro climatic condition.

          ONGOING SCHEMES.

. Intensive horticultural development project.(lHDP)

. Development of progeny orchard. .

. Potato Development scheme.

CONSTRAINTS AND GAP

        These schemes are implemented by utilizing state sector plan fund. Inadequate and stagnant fund provision acts as obstacle in the road of vast potential of horticultural development.

        Area expansion under horticultural crop faces with the problem of marketing as all produce are perishable and farmers are at the mercy of the middleman due to absence of marketing infrastructure and non-existent road communication network. Nearest market for sell of produce is often 4-5hours walk through difficult terrain.

        Absence of canning and preservation industry does not guarantee any support price for the horticultural produce. Dissemination  alarming technology and knowledge through the extension mechanism is also hampered due to the above-mentioned reason.

        Vast untapped potential for horticultural development exists and to realize the potential extensive training and motivation coupled with exposure and study tour inside and outside the state and incentive for area expansion of existing successful crops and introduction of high value, less perishable, low in quantity crops like cashew nut, black pepper should be provided to the farming community. Keeping in view the above conditions the following schemes are being proposed for implementation for the development of N.C. Hills.

          PROPOSED INTERVENTION UNDER RSVY

. Area expansion  of banana, pineapple, moushambi, litchi, areca nut in Zone-I covering  an area of 100 ha is proposed with an estimated outlay of 22 lakhs. For Zone-III covering area of 100 ha for proposed orange plantation @ Rs. 22,000 per ha. Estimated outlay is around Rs. 22 Lakhs.

. Canning and fruit preservation facility with estimated outlay of Rs.47.04 lakhs is being proposed.

. Horticulture kit containing essential orchard management items, for 800 orchard owners @ Rs. 2800 per kit with a total outlay of Rs. 22.40 Lakhs.

. Introduction of mushroom cultivation among tribal farmers to be implemented with an estimated outlay of Rs20.77 lakhs.

. Project of vermicompost production at block level with an estimated outlay of 15.00 lakhs.

. Plant protection scheme for arresting citrus decline and citrus rejuvenation with financial outlay of Rs.23.75 lakhs. . Establishment of  5 nos. of Horticulture nursery @ Rs. 3.5 lakhs each.

. Procurement of 500 nos. of tree sprayers @ Rs.2000 each for distribution among orchard owners. Total outlay Rs. 10 Lakhs.

        The SHG would be formed in Jatinga, Dehangi, Harangajao, Mahur, Maibang area where land is suitable for Horticultural Crops and beneficiaries of these would be benefited.

IMPACT OF INTERVENTION

. Overall increase in area and production of horticultural crops thus benefiting the farming community by increasing their economic threshold.

. Nutritional requirements of the rural as well as urban population would be effectively met thus improving quality of life.

. Area expansion of different fruit crops is expected to generate temporary employment of 5000 mandays per year.

. Mushroom production vermicompost production project are expected to increase self employment opportunities among the local rural people.

. Fruit canning and preservation centres is expected to provide around 150-200 direct and indirect avenue.

. Establishment of horticultural nursery has the potential of generating around 5000 mandays every year.

. Citrus rejuvenation project is expected to generate around 6000 mandays per year.

        Marketing as we all recognize, plays a pivotal role in agriculture and more precisely so for horticultural crops which are generally perishable in nature. To strengthen the marketing infrastructure so as to ensure remunerative prices to the farmers of N.C. Hills of their products urgent steps needed to be taken.

PROPOSED INTERVENTION UNDER RSVY

.  Construction of Market shed in registered rural market with an estimated outlay of Rs, 7.5 Lakhs.

.  Construction of market stall with a total out lay of Rs. 6.00 Lakhs.

.  All the schemes under horticulture will be executed through SHGs giving priority on area expansion of horticultural crops and canning.

_MINOR IRRIGATION

        There are 19 (nineteen) M.I. schemes brought under irrigation coverage up to March / 2004 is 36.50% of the total cultivable area. The remaining 63.50 % of the cultivable area is dependent on rainfall which is scanty. Further there is some rain shadow areas where average rainfall  is only 1000 mm.

        There are 19 (nineteen ) Nos. of completed flow schemes with a command area of 1194 ha. And 16 Nos. of completed Water Harvest schemes with total command area of 296 ha. under this Division. Further, there are 14 (fourteen) Nos. of ongoing schemes covering 1553 ha.

        New Minor Irrigation schemes (Flow) for acute rain shadow areas  have been proposed  under RSVY programme with an allocation of Rs. 148.74 lakhs .

CONSTRAINTS AND GAPS.

16.           Training of Institution Vety. Science  -- 01 nos.

17.           Rural Dairy Creamery Center/ Rural Dairy Center     - 02 Nos.

        This district being the habitat of 13 ST(H) groups are basically dependent on Agriculture and allied activities like Animal Husbandry & Vety. It is the place where more than 90% of people take meat, fish,  egg etc.

        The middle classes and elites used to keep dogs as a status symbol and also as requirement for watching. They are found to have taken the pups of improved varieties like Doberman,  German shepherds, Labradors etc. from outside like Calcutta.

        The chevon (goat) is also a delicious food which is however taken as important dish by the tribal as well as non-tribal people of the district.

        The piggery is an important and unavoidable livestock of the district as the pig meat is very popular in the district and as well as it has a wide demand in the areas of our neighbourhood in Meghalaya, Nagaland, Mizoram and Manipur etc.

Constraints & Gaps:

1.    Non availability of good quality breed.

2.    Scarcity of quality feed.

3.    Lack of scientific knowledge of rearing pig, poultry and goatery etc. with advanced scientific know how.

4.    Transport Communication bottlenecks.

5.    Non-availability of feed supplements, medicine, equipments etc.

6.    Financial shortage.

Intervention:      Under the above condition we would like to propose the intervention of SDA under RSVY to meet up the deficiencies.

        Interventions:

1.     It is therefore planned to take up establishment of 35 nos. of broiler units with an allocation of Rs. 32.90 lakhs to benefit 350 people by generating self employment to 35 SHG which will be monitored by A.H. & Vety. Deptt.

2.     It is proposed to establish 35 nos. of poultry layer birds of improved varieties in the district like commercial birds of varieties like BV 380, golden christen etc. with an allocation of Rs. 87.50 lakhs. @ Rs. 2.5 lakhs per unit which will be benefited by generating sustained self employment to 35X10 =350 persons organized into 35 SHG.

3.     With the intervention of SDA under RSVY it is proposed to allocate Rs.72,90,000.00 for establishing 25 nos. of pig unit @ Rs.2,91,600 per unit and this will benefit 250 persons with sustained self employment by organizing them  into 25 SHG.

4.         Under SDA(RSVY) it is proposed to establish 10 nos. of goat unit in the areas representing different ST communities with an allocation of Rs. 19.50 lakhs @ Rs. 109,500.00. This will benefit 100 persons by creating sustained self employment and will be organized into 10 SHG for maintenance after proper training to be conducted by the A.H. & Vety. Deptt.

5.     As the keeping of dog is felt necessary by the middle classes and upper middle classes of N.C.Hills, Karbi Anglong, Barak Valley and Guwahati it is proposed to establish 5(five) modern dog breeding units with an allocation of Rs.8,37,400/ by which 50 persons organized into 5 SHG will get sustained self employment. The annual return of these 5 farms will be around Rs 15 lakhs.

6.     In order to maintain standard feeds for the above mentioned livestock units establishment of a feed mill is felt inevitable. This feed mill is being proposed with an allocation of Rs.1,38,00,000( Ruppes One Crore thirty eight lakhs). This will benefit 1100 nos. of AH & Vety growers and 110SHG will get direct benefit of self employment and this will definitely benefit more than 1 lakhs individuals indirectly with the supply of quality Vety. Products.

        Necessary arrangements for vety. care services are planned accordingly with the additive provisions of SGSY.

Following Schemes are approved under RSVY.

Details of the Veterinary Schemes

All these units shall be established through SHG and co-operative farm. The SHG shall continue finance either by own contribution or bank finance for maintenance of the farm. The concerned department shall only guide and supervise the establishment and maintenance of these units and they are organized into Groups for better supervision.

   ESTABLISHMENT OF POULTRY UNITS

        Poultry eggs and meat are the important sources as high quality protein to balance the diet of common people.  Poultry farming can provide gainful employment if done on a commercial scale to harness the tremendous market potential in the District.  Though the district has a moderately favourable climate for Poultry farming,  particularly commercial broilers and commercial layer activity has not made any significant progress, due to lack of enthusiasm among the farming community as well as due to non-availability of critical in puts at right time.  Further, majority of the population are under ( small units ) as made good progress due to the favourable environment availability in the district. 

        The existing infrastructure and allocation the existing poultry Farm, Haflong can not meet the entire demand. As such new farms requires to be established and proposed the following amount for taking up the progress in phase manner.

Establishment of Poultry Units

  Establishment of Poultry Layer Commercial Unit

        The Commercial layer bird will start laying egg from the age of 4 months and lays egg up to 300 nos. per year till  18 months of age weighing 2.2 kg.The egg can also be sold at Rs. 1.5 per egg and as such one layer can earn Rs. 450.00 per year apart from the meat. Thus a farm may earn   eggs 2.85,000 nos. per year and total production of meat 20.9 quintals.

        The Farm will serve as productive as well as practical demonstration farm from the trainees of this district  with a total allocation of Rs. 180 lacs there is the proposal for production of meat sufficient for the district.

  Establishment of Pig Unit

                Pig rearing is common among the farmers in the district, majority of farmers being small & marginal, those activities are able to provide them supplementary income.  The activities are thriving in the district due to the excellent demand for the pork and meat.

                The existing Pig Farm, Haflong can not meet the demand of pork & piging for the farmers & public.  The following requirement of fund are proposed for new programme of Pig Farm, Haflong.

Establishment of Pig Unit

   PROJECT REPORT FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF GOAT UNIT

INTRODUCTION  :       The North Cachar Hills District of Assam with Geographical area of 488800 hectors.

                                The climatic conditions according to geographical location is suitable for esstt.  Of Goat Project in N.C.Hills District.  The evergreen grass and natural trees welcoming goat rearing in this hilly areas.  There are sufficient fellow and waste land with green grass where goat project can be established.

STRATEGY          #      The hill people generally take meat as their protein food local stock of goat are not available to meet the growing demand of meat. 

 Establishment Goat Unit

LAND                 #      At least 250/ 300 bighas of land are to be required for infrastructure facilities, Fodder plot and for grazing land.  The site is required near the river or spring for water supply facility.

COMMUNICATION  #    The site is required where road communication facilities are available.

POWER SUPPLY   #      This is also necessary near site for taking up power supply to the project.

MARKETTING FACILITIES   #   N.C.Hills itself is a good market for meat and input.  The surplus stock can be sold nearby Meghalaya state Silchar, Nagaon or at Guwahati. 

STAFF                #      01 (one) officer, 01 S.V.F.A., 02 V.F.A. 01 Accountant, 01 LDA and 03 grade IV staff can be placed from the existing staff of the deptt.  But 03 nos. technicians for processing of meat, preparation of wool etc. are to be sent for training from the existing staff.

   MODERN DOG BREEDING UNIT

The middle classes and the upper middle class use to keep dogs as a status symbol and also as requirement for watching. They are found to have taken the pups of improved varieties from out side the state. And attempt has been made through this scheme to breed improved varieties of dogs.

      FEED MIXING PLANT

                The Govt. Feed Mixing Plant at Haflong has been established with a view to supply balanced feed at a reasonable price to the departmental farms and other private farmers of N.C.Hills District.  At present, the plant is supplying feeds to the only Govt. Pig-cum-Poultry Farm, Haflong and other small private farms of N.C.Hills District.  In a short period of time the plant has become popular particularly to the Farms of the District as they are giving more profit by procuring feeds from this Feed Mixing Plant.  The nos. of pig of the Govt. Pig-cum-Poultry has increased to 3 times more within 1 year of inception of this plant.  As there is one new Govt. Pig Farm called Pig seed production project, Umrangso is going to begin recently and numerous small private farmers are coming-up under the sponsorship of DRDA in N.C.Hills.  Now the Feed Mixing Plant may not be able to meet the entire demand of supplying feeds as it is increasing day by day.  Further, the requirement for establishment of Dairy demonstration farm, Haflong will also be proposed in this plant.  As such, more fund for purchase of ingredient and supplement are necessary to increase production yearly.  The following schemes to increase production id proposed. The proposed Modern Feed Mixing Plant will be set up on co-operative basis organizing the SHGs in to a co-operative unit.

ESTABLISHMENT OF MODERN FEED MIXING PLANT

  ESTABLISHMENT OF FODDER FARM

                A Fodder Farm with a view to produce green grass, seed and for demonstration purchases for the farmers and for departmental farms is most essential.  To establish this farm the follow land of  the existing farm of Pig-cum-Poultry Farm is to be utilized in a scientific manner.  The following scheme is prepared for establishment of the farm.  For the time being 05 (five) bighas of land are to be utilized for the farm.  Scheme is prepared as follows :-

  TRAINING AND RESOURCE CENTRE WITH ACCOMMODATIONS AND COMPUTER FACILITIES

        The government department and the NGO’s have been trying to uplift the rural masses by providing many inputs, but since the district does not have a proper training and resource centre the govt. officials and the NGOs become ill equipped to impart training as well as acquire training.

Objective:  The objective of establishing a training and Resource centre with accommodation and computer facilities are as follows.

a)    To provide training on livelihood issued to jhum cultivators.

b)    Rural Technology centre.

c)     Support to NGOs and SHGs

d)    District Resource Centre.

e)    E-commerce.
