North-East India: Land, People and Economy
Author: K.R. Dikshit
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9400770553
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 828
Book Description
North-East India, comprising the seven contiguous states around Assam, the principal state of the region, is a relatively unknown, yet very fascinating region. The forest clad peripheral mountains, home to indigenous peoples like the Nagas, Mizos and the Khasis, the densely populated Brahmaputra valley with its lush green tea gardens and the golden rice fields, the moderately populated hill regions and plateaus, and the sparsely inhabited Himalayas, form a unique mosaic of natural and cultural landscapes and human interactions, with unparalleled diversity. The book provides a glimpse into the region’s past and gives a comprehensive picture of its physical environment, people, resources and its economy. The physical environment takes into account not only the structural base of the region, its physical characteristics and natural vegetation but also offers an impression of the region’s biodiversity and the measures undertaken to preserve it. The people of the region, especially the indigenous population, inhabiting contrasting environments and speaking a variety of regional and local dialects, have received special attention, bringing into focus the role of migration that has influenced the traditional societies, for centuries. The book acquaints the readers with spatial distribution, life style and culture of the indigenous people, outlining the unique features of each tribe. The economy of the region, depending originally on primitive farming and cottage industries, like silkworm rearing, but now greatly transformed with the emergence of modern industries, power resources and expanding trade, is reviewed based on authentic data and actual field observations. The epilogue, the last chapter in the book, summarizes the authors’ perception of the region and its future.

Employment and Labour Market in North-East India
Author: Virginius Xaxa
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 0429823452
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
This book examines the structural changes in the labour market in North-East India. Going beyond the conventional study of tea and agricultural sectors, it focuses on the nature, pattern and structure of work and employment in the region as well as documents emerging shifts in the labour force towards farm to non-farm dynamics. The chapters explore historical developments in employment patterns, labour market policies, issues of gender and social-religious dimensions, as well as point to growing forms of casual, informal and contractual labour across sectors. Through large-scale data and detailed case studies on unfree labour in plantations and those employed in crafts, handloom and the manufacturing industry, the book provides insights into labour and employment in the region. It also delves into the temporal and spatial dimensions of non-farm employment and its relationship with rural income distribution and labour mobility. By bringing interdisciplinary perspectives from scholars working on North-East India, this work fills a major gap in the political economy of the labour market in the region. The volume will be useful to scholars and researchers of development studies, North-East India studies, labour studies, economics, sociology and political science as well to those involved with governance and policymaking.

The Act East Policy's Socio-Economic and Political Impact on North-East India
Author: KHRITISH SWARGIARY
Publisher: ERA, US
ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 31
Book Description
This study examines the socioeconomic and political impacts of India's Act East Policy (AEP) on NorthEast India. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, including surveys, interviews, and focus group discussions across five NorthEastern states, the research evaluates the policy's effectiveness in fostering regional development and integration. Findings indicate significant improvements in infrastructure, trade volumes, and employment rates, with a 50.06% increase in road connectivity and a 188.19% rise in export volume. The study also reveals a 30% decrease in insurgency-related incidents, suggesting enhanced regional stability. However, challenges persist in ensuring equitable distribution of benefits, particularly in rural areas. The research highlights the need for more inclusive governance structures and sustainable development practices to maximize the AEP's positive impact on NorthEast India. This comprehensive analysis provides valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders involved in regional development initiatives.
