Surface Communication
It is an established fact that the Development of Roads along with Bridges and Culverts are indispensable for Economic Development of an area. The Hill district N.C.Hills of Assam comprising 4,888.00 sq. km. is socially and economically under developed which has 1,626.00 km. of road length. The road network as such comes to 32.00 km./100.00 sq. km. against road of 40.00/100.00 sq. km. as laid down by the Indian Road Congress for Hill areas. Great attention is to be given in construction of Roads in the Hills District of Assam. The total length of various categories of Roads in N.C.Hills District are shown as under:-

Construction and maintenance of road is being taken up in the district under plans programmes like District Autonomous Council, Border Area Development, R.I.D.F, P.M.G.S.Y, A.R.I.A.S.P, N.E.C, N.L.C.P.R etc.

N.B. :- There have been severe landslides, road erosion, blocking total connectivity of the district for days together due to heavy rain-fall last year which even lead to famine condition for non transportation of food staff, medicine, etc. to the rural people as well as persons engaged in law & order duty. In such situation untold miseries and hard hits felt for non availability of excavator, dumper truck and recovery van even on rent also for immediate restoration. Under this circumstances these infrastructural items under PWD are being proposed which may however be engaged on rental basis for private use also which will bring the cost of repairing and maintenance. For this purpose no person to be appointed. Under this state of affairs responding to the felt need of the people of the district represented by the members of the Autonomous Council of N.C. Hills these unavoidable infrastructure items are proposed under PWD if at all these are not admissible under RSVY state level committee of RSVY proposed the following schemes as substitute of infrastructure for expenditure of Rs. 100.00 Lacs. Ensuring connectivity benefit to 2000 people.

Community Based Eco – Tourism For Conservation and Development.
The land use pattern of N.C. Hills is as follows:
(A) Geographical Area : 4888 sq. km.
(B) Reserved Forests : 663.17 sq. km.(13.56%)
(C) Proposed R.F. : 83.79sq km. (1.71%)
(D) Unclassed State Forests : 4143.04 sq km. (84.73%)
Under this land use pattern and with an ever increasing interest and growth in tourism development, the obvious marketing strategies associated with this industry and its components needs to be developed. Community based tourism includes eco–tourism, nature based tourism, adventure tourism, cultural tourism and so on.
Eco-tourism globally has grown faster than tourism generally and this will probably continue over the next several years. Eco-tourism demands will evolve over time and the District’s eco - tourism sites will need to adopt to these changes. Eco-tourism is responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and sustain the well being of local people.
The factors during this pattern of growth will include rapidly growing income, dynamic trade and investments, Government promotional measures and relative political and security stability in the district.
Considering the scope and extent of eco-tourism possibilities, the following projects are proposed to augment the tourist inflow. An attempt has been made to promote eco - tourism, trekking, Angling and river rafting on Kopili River at Panimur.
(A) Ethnic village: Jatinga, a small beautiful village in N.C. Hills, is already world famous for the yet to be explained phenomena of birds, migratory and local, being attracted by lights. This village has already attracted many tourists and ornithologists including Dr. Salim Ali. To further argument the tourism potential of this beautiful place, it is proposed that an ethnic village will be developed with ethnic collages. This will combine cultural tourism with nature tourism. All the 13 (thirteen) tribes inhabiting the Districts will be allotted one hut/cottage built in the model of their traditional architecture. The cottage will be self sufficient for tourists to camp for short duration. Ethnic food of all the tribes will be available in the village.
An information - cum interpretation centre will also be constructed for facilitating the tourists. This centre will also work towards the capacity building of the local tribes. The ability of local people to participate actively in bottom-up, small scale tourism development can be enhanced. This will teach the stake holders to learn, adjust and sustain.
(B) Trekking path : A trekking path is proposed to be built to the second highest peak of the State of Assam i.e. Hempeupet (1748 meters).The trekking path will be in the beautiful rain forest area of Borail Hill with excellent Bio - Diversity.
The length of the trekking path is approximately 5km. There will be steps at places to overcome the steep gradients wherever necessary. A proper camping site will be developed with all facilities as far as practicable. Trekking equipments will also be made available to the adventurous tourists including folding tents etc.
(C) Hajong Tortoise lake : An unique feature of the District, the Hajong tortoise lake is situated within the Langting–Mupa Reserved Forests. It is an excellent habitat of many endangered spices of turtle and tortoises.Due to lack of proper funding for this lake, it has degenerated. The Hajong tortoise lake can be developed in to a full fledged tortoise conservation centre. This will ensure the preservation and development the endangered species and will attract tourists in large numbers.
(D) Panimur Angling and Rafting centre:Panimur can boast of being one of the most scenic place in the whole of Assam. A river rafting centre can be developed alongwith Angling, which is a major tourist attraction sport. A small cottage for the tourists to freshen - up as well spend a night or two will be developed.
This will also be along the traditional pattern of the local tribe. Panimur also boasts of a beautiful small waterfall. It is a major pilgrimage centre for the Dimasas specially during Magh Purnima festivals.
Constraints & gaps
· The district is highly deficient in tourism infrastructure despite having tremendous scope for eco-tourism. Since most of the tourism activities are forest based it is proposed that the Forest Deptt. will endeavour to uplift the tourism activities.
· The cultural diversity of the district with more than thirteen nos. of tribes is indeed enchanting. These resources should be developed with a view to marketing and popularizing this cultural richness.
Impact
· It is estimated that 4 lakhs mandays will be generated directly from the activities proposed in this scheme.
· A huge potential for permanent employment for more than 200 families will be created.
· The inflow of tourist both national & international is expected to go up drastically.
· Trade & economy of the district will get a major boost.
