NAHARLAGUN, August 7: The first Assembly day of Arunachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly was celebrated at the Nokmey Namati hall of Assembly Secretariat here today in presence of State Governor Lt. Gen(Retired) Nirbhay Sharma, State Chief Minister Nabam Tuki, Speaker Wanglin Lowangdong, Ministers, MLAs, former MLAs and top government officials of the state. Arunachal Pradesh Governor, Lt Gen (Retired) Nibhay Sharma, while speaking on the first Assembly Day of Arunachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly here today said, the State Legislative Assemblies are the Temples of democracy. The people of Arunachal had a vibrant system of self-governance and a bottoms up democracy for centuries. The tribal culture imbibes the basic tenets of true democracy and good governance by being fair, transparent and accountable in meeting the aspirations of their respective tribe/group. The people of this state lived in harmony with nature and were at peace with themselves. Even today, in the North East region of India, the state of Arunachal Pradesh is an island of peace. He hoped that the occasion will always act as a reminder for us to renew our commitment to secularism, pluralism, dignity of every citizen and eliminate social discriminations. The best interests of the people of Arunachal Pradesh will get adequate voice for all time to come. The day commemorates the commencement of democratic process to enable the people of Arunachal Pradesh to chart their own destiny. The date August 7, is historic because in 1975 on this date exactly 38 years ago, the actual process of giving effect to the Legislative Assembly began and the Union Government agreed to demands of the people converting the Pradesh Council into the Provisional Legislative Assembly. Complimenting the Speaker, officials of the Legislative Assembly and the state government for giving this date its due by holding this commemorative function, he said it is yet another first by the state of Arunachal Pradesh. Well done! Looking at the history of growth of political process in the state, it has to be noted that the North East has been a distinct frontier region and its administrative system was quite different from the rest, even during the British India. Although in 1914, North Eastern

State Legislative Assemblies are the temples of democracy : Governor

Frontier Tracts (as called then) was placed under Assam Province but most of the administration was left to the local tribal chiefs. A full-scale and integrated administration was ushered in. Subsequently in 1965, based on the recommendations of Daying Ering Commission, NEFA administration was transferred to the Ministry of Home Affairs. Consequently five divisions of NEFA became its five districts. The same Commission is instrumental in the introduction of the Panchayati Raj system in 1965. The change from age-old tribal society and the administrative system to the modern democratic set up has taken place. It is to the credit of our visionary national leaders and those present here today and also their predecessors that Arunachal Pradesh is now part of the main stream of India and ranks rather high in economic and running through. The emergence of different tribes and differences in their customs and culture have essentially come up due to geographic isolation and should now be a model of unity in diversity and nothing less. Strategically, Arunachal Pradesh is very significant, sharing a border with Bhutan, China and Myanmar. Considering the border dispute with China, we need to develop the infrastructure and ensure that the state is secure. The development of border region is therefore important from this perspective as well. All this boils down to good governance i.e. meeting basic needs of the people in terms of food, shelter, health, education and security. This has to be on the plank of self-governance starting with Gram Panchayat, which must retain a healthy blend of tribal traditions and institutions, with the modern system of administration. Panchayat Raj Institutions. A thorough understanding of provisions of the 73rd and 74th Amendment Act and other rules and regulations would enable them to deal with local issues with more confidence. Even the Legislators, will benefit from a refresher on vital issues of constitutional wisdom, he said. Lauding the efforts of the state government, he said, the endeavor to generate employment with a target of 1 lac in a year though ambitious but is doable and indeed laudable, and so is the constant fight against drug menace. The state government has also very forcefully raised its voice to Delhi to enhance the connectivity and provide resources to harness the economic potential of the state. However, the efforts to instill a sense of security in the masses and creating a conducive environment for development are yet to fructify fully. This has to be not only sustained, but

up the issue with the Ministry of Environment and Forest so that clearances are granted on time. Due to delay in grant of environment and forest clearances our people are being deprived of road connectivity in several parts of the state, he observed. The Chief Minister also called for a road connecting all the foothill areas of the state that mostly borders Assam. He pointed that the under-construction Trans-Arunachal Highway will connect almost all the district headquarters of the state internally. However, the foothill areas, which are mostly backward, will not be connected by it and hence an alternate road connecting all the foothill areas internally is needed, he said. Tuki also pointed to the Union Ministry that only construction of roads does not complete its job. He said maintenance of these roads is of utmost importance and suggested that sufficient funds are allotted for it. Referring to the ambitious project of Government of India the East-West Corridor, Tuki said the East West Corridor will never be complete if it does not touch Arunachal Pradesh. (contd. on P-7)... NAHARLAGUN, August 8: Arunachal Pradesh Governor, Lt Gen.(Retired) Nibhay Sharma has greeted the people of the state on the occasion of Id-ul-fitr. In his message, the Governor said, On the festive occasion of Id-ul-fitr, which marks the end of the holy month of Ramzan, I convey good wishes to people of Arunachal Pradesh. I hope that the festival would inspire all the follow

social parameters. However, it is still a work in progress. In the economic field, we are yet to harness our full potential and reap the harvest of natures bounty. The hydropower potential of the state by itself can make the state financially selfsufficient and even more. Add to this, the fields of agriculture, horticulture, tourism and so on, the state is waiting to become Switzerland of the East. In fact, rather than looking at the Central Government to give the financial aid, we will be a donor state and contribute to the National basket. Socially, the state prides itself in maintaining communal harmony and brotherhood of exceptional order. However, we are yet to cross some of the tribal barriers fully. Historically, Arunachalees are broadly of the same stock and have a common thread

It is very relevant here to mention that Panchayat Raj Regulation Act was passed during the NEFA period i.e. in 1967 and a three tier Panchayat Raj system was adopted. The traditional Village Councils, which were already recognized under North East Frontier Administration of Justice Regulation 1945, were accorded the status of Gram Panchayats. Though there are no written rules, the spirit of customs and traditions of the Village Councils is in tune with the modern concept of jurisprudence and parliamentary democracy. Hence, we need to preserve and promote and integrate traditional wisdom of these councils in the context of the 73rd Amendment Act, he said. I strongly feel the requirement of training the newly elected Municipal Councillors and the members of

given further momentum. We owe it to the people of this magnificent state and in particular to the Generation next. Seeing the enthusiastic participation of the members he said, I am confident that you all will continue the excellent tradition of the State Legislative Assembly, which is one of best in the country. The decorum maintained in our Assembly is exemplary. This Assembly has been the guiding institution on the path of democratic development. I convey my sincere admiration to the past and present members of the esteemed Assembly. However, I must remind the members of this august Assembly that it is incumbent upon you to work towards meeting the economic, social and strategic challenges faced by the state. Inculcating the best practices

of democracy in terms of healthy and well informed debates make for a good legislative body, the Governor said while stating that the need of hour is to grasp the opportunity, harness the natures bounty and develop the human resource to place the Land of Rising Sun on a pedestal of peace and prosperity. He asked all to share the optimism and rise above differences and challenges to realize the dreams and give shape to the aspirations and reinforce the bonds of the composite society with new strength and renewed commitments. Impressed by the photo gallery, which he inaugurated on the day, he advised the officials to keep it open for the next one week or so, for the people, especially the students, so that they get to know the political development in the state through the richly illustrated photographs. Complimenting the Speaker and Deputy Speaker for organising the Assembly Day Celebration, Chief Minister Nabam Tuki said it holds the essence of the growth of democracy in this tribal land. Arunachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly has a glorious history since its inception on 7th August 1975. Therefore, it is indeed a noble endeavour of the Assembly Secretariat to celebrate the day to commemorate the humble beginning of our State Legislative Assembly and it should be made a regular feature of the Assembly activities. He informed that considering the recommendation of the Daying Ering Commission (1965), the NorthEast Frontier Agency Panchayat Raj Regulation Act was passed by the Parliament and put on implementation by the Government of India in 1967. As per provision in this Act, the Agency Council was formed at apex level followed by Zilla Parishads at District level, Anchal Samitis at Block level and Gram Panchayat at village level. The traditional village councils which were already recognized under the NorthEast Frontier Administration of Justice Regulation, 1945, were accorded the status of Gram Panchayats. Outlining the history of formation of state Assembly, Tuki said that it has been a long and tedious journey for Arunachal Pradesh since the state was conferred the status of a full-fledged state on February 20, 1987. Keeping in stride the ups and downs, we have progressed and emerged as an identity distinct and determined in the last 26 years, he said, adding all through these years (contd. on P-6)...

GUWAHATI, August 2 : Chief Minister Nabam Tuki today asserted the urgent need of having a by-pass road for the capital cities of Itanagar and Naharlagun, besides widening of the existing national highway (NH52 A) to ease burgeoning traffic congestion. Speaking during the Review Meet on National Highways and other centrally sponsored road projects in the North East at Guwahati today, Tuki urged the Union Minister for Road, Transport and Highways, Oscar Fernandes to consider 4-laning of the

NH52 A from Chimpu to Banderdewa including the proposed by-pass sections at Itanagar and Naharlagun. He informed that the state government has decided to by-pass the sections of NH-52A at Itanagar and Naharlagun towns and develop it to 4-lane to ease the traffic congestion. Appreciating the concern of the Union Ministry for development of road connectivity in the region, Tuki, however, regretted that several projects were being delayed for want of environment and forest clearances. He requested the MoRTH to take

Wood carving is a traditional craft associated with some of the tribes of Arunachal Pradesh. The Monpas, Khamtis and Wanchos occupy significant place in this art. The Monpa wood carvers make beautiful cups, dishes, fruit bowls and magnificent masks for ceremonial dances and pantomimes, while the Khamptis make beautiful religious images - like figures of dancers, toys and other objects. The Khambas and Membas of West Siang also make wooden masks. The traditional woodcarving system is most popular among the Wanchos of Longding and Noctes of Tirap districts. In fact the area is the chief center of wood carving. The art and skills of wood carving practiced among the Wanchos is closely associated with their age-old religious beliefs and cultural practices. This unique wood carving art is intimately interwoven in the socio-cultural fabric of the people. The wood carving based economic activities are an intrinsic part of the life of the people of these two districts as these two tribes have been practicing it for a long time. In early days, the Noctes and the Wanchos used to make wood carving to decorate the posts and log drums in the Morung or Paa (boys dormitory) or to decorate the village chiefs house. The subject they choose used to be simple based on their day today experiences and objects. But with the change in time, the range of subject has increased manifold like - figures of eminent personalities, human figures, animals and birds. Among the Noctes, the people of Huakan, Laho, Moktowa, Lapnan and Hualam villages are known for this wood carving art, while there are many wood carvers among the Wanchos. The wood of a certain wild tree called Pongmo in Wancho is used for wood carving as the wood is soft, smooth and does not develop cracks easily. The best time to cut this tree is in October November. Normally it takes 20-25 days to complete a human figure. With the demand for this ethnic art at the national level especially in cities, wood carving has the potential to grow into a major cottage industry in the state of Arunachal Pradesh. But unfortunately, this traditional art had suffered a setback in recent decades as the local artisans, who solely depend on woodcarving for their livelihoods are in dwindling position. Hence concerted effort is needed to make the industry traditionally reliable and economically sustainable along with government policy to popularize and market the wood carving in a professional manner by opening more wood carving centers to meet the growing demand.

The Sound
Taron pulled his cotton blanket over his prostate body as fully as he could to get a cozy sleep in the cold winter night. He glanced towards the hearth before he pulled the edge of the blanket over his head. The fire had begun to Almost instinctively, Taron looked at the direction of the sound by uncovering the blanket from his head. Raising his head he peered at the dark plank wall across the hearth. Then he fumbled for the new Eveready torch placed away from one of the shelves, his eyes glinting against the light. The sound still dragged on mysteriously sending a wave of apprehension over him. Taron looked for his dao hung in an antler peg in the middle post and even before he neared it, the sound disappeared suddenly. Below the bamboo floor the family pigs slept, the young piglets occasionally quarrelling and jostling for their mothers milk. For a moment Taron wondered if the sound came from it. But he dismissed the idea as the sound was distinct from the neighing and grunting of pigs with which he was familiar with. Was it the distant mowing of a cow searching for her calf, he imagined. He could not conclude for sure. He put away the pot of pig wash still faintly simmering on the trivet and lit the fire in the hearth again, raking up the woods which had almost begun to ebb. He sat beside the hearth, troubled by the strange sound. The nearest likeness of the sound Taron could imagine was of

he thought and pointed his torch all around the ground. A few piglings began to jostle for their mothers milk under the floor as he approached them under the floor. He flared his torch all over the ground under the bamboo platform, then across the wooden stilts, at the squirmy pigs and the few cows masticating silently near the bamboo platform. He could no more hear the sound but he continued to seek out its source. He tiptoed towards the forlorn jackfruit tree and standing near its trunk, scanned the branches and the leaves, by flashing powerful beam of the torch. A few birds fluttered away, flapping their wings frantically, alarmed. It could not be these birds, he thought to himself and headed for the wooden ladder placed near the entrance. He scratched his head both in confusion and consternation. The strange wheezing sound was also like a labored breathing of a cow suffering from respiratory problem, he surmised at last, and decided to scan the herd yet again. He checked each of them one by

What a heavy sleeper! He often fumed at his wife especially when some friends or neighbours called on him late at night on some errands. Always sleeping like a sprawling log in the field and never to awake soon despite rousing! The thought made his blood boil every time it occurred to him. He dismissed the thought, then rolled on sideways and curled up his feet so that his two thighs tightly pressed against his stomach. Except for the occasional neighing of pigs and bleating of calves outside the courtyard, stillness ruled the night in the remote, little village. In such times even a faint sound, a rustle caused by a raiding cat or scurrying rats in kitchen shelves, get amplified to the ear in the clear, serene night. Sleep had almost begun to get into the weary body when he caught a peculiar sound. An odd, unfamiliar sound appearing from what he imagined, from across the dim hearth.

beside the pillow and given to him by Opang, his eldest son now in the police department. Just then the sound died down. Having found the torch, he held it in his hand and took a deep breath. He tried to figure out the peculiar sound. Probably it was a constricted, troubled breathing of a sick cow outside, he thought, and put the torch back near the pillow. He cursed at the electricity line installed months ago with great fanfare in his village that showed up its power just once in a blue moon. There was much excitement among the villagers and great announcement by the local MLA. How these politicians befool people like him! He cursed them often on such crucial occasions. Then he pulled over the edge of the blanket over his head and again curled up his legs as before. Just as his body began to slowly gather warmth under the tightly pulledover blankets, the sound reappeared. Reflexively, with the right hand Taron flicked away the blanket end from his head and pointed the torch across the hearth. He sat up on the bed and ran the bright beam around the walls, then at the bamboo shelves. A cat leaped

Even as he mulled this, the scary sound reappeared. Taron instantly grabbed the torch and armed with his dao crept outside the room like a ghost, lest the sleeping family members awakened. He had already searched indoors. It must surely be from somewhere outside the house, one by directing his powerful beam in their faces and minutely observing their breathing. A few of them got up and sauntered a few feet away, annoyed. He could not detect any unusual breathing, not least akin to the one troubling him over and over. No! It is not from these, Taron concluded. Perplexed, he (contd. on P-4)...

Know Your State

Arunachal Pradesh is rich with plenty of beautiful natural lakes in all districts out of which Glaw Lake in present Lohit District is one of the most prominent ones. Glaw Lake has a popular myth behind its origin according to Mizo Mishmi folk tradition and, therefore, this natural lake is closely associated with the culture and consciousness of the Mishmi communities. The lake is situated at a distance of about 24 kms from Wakro, an EAC headquarters on the left of the famous Lohit River. It is situated on the north-east side of the township and can be reached by trekking on hilly and undulating tracts along the Kamlang River that joins the Lohit in the west. This is a massive lake with about 8 sq miles in area spread around at the foot of surrounding hills. The nearest settlement is Kalai village which is located at a distance of 8kms before reaching the lake. According to some experts the site was a volcanic mouth which might have been formed ages ago before any human settlement in the adjoining area. This theory of being a volcanic mouth seems logical from the perspective of its geographical features as the lake has formed on a bowl like formation below a range of surrounding hills. Located at an altitude of four thousand feet from sea level, the lake is rich with aquatic life, especially fishes with varying species. The surrounding area is full with thick forest cover

Glaw Lake
where plenty of wild animals and birds are found including wild elephants, deer, and bear etc. The place is cool and the scenic and being full of flora and fauna, it has a tremendous potential for tourism in future. Because of its remoteness and absence of road, not many visitors get to see this beautiful place. But interested trekkers can make a trip to the lake by arranging local guides for enjoy the beauty of this unexplored tourist destination.

The Stupid Pupil

(A Jataka Tale)
-Chow Bilaseng Namchoom
In my childhood, I was always captivated by the charm of the Jataka Tales and later realized that the Jataka Tales contain deep truths, and are calculated to impress lessons of great moral beauty. The obvious lessons are many of them suitable for my little friends, and beneath the obvious there are depths and depths of meaning which they may learn to fathom later on. The oriental setting lends an additional fascination. Quaint humor and gentle earnestness distinguish these legends and they teach many wholesome lessons, among them the duty of kindness to animals. Jataka stories speak eloquently of those human values, which contribute, to harmony, pleasure and progress. For developing moral conduct and good behavior, there is little more instructive foundation than Jataka stories. All Jataka stories hold out advice on how to correct our ways. They played and continue to play in some societies an enormous role in the cultivation of peace and generosity. The Jatakas, or Birth-stories, form one of the sacred books of the Buddhists and relate to the adventures of the Buddha in his former existences, the best character in any story being identified with the Master. The Jataka tales are dated between 300 BC and 400 AD. The Jataka stories, over millennia, have been seminal to the development of many civilizations, the cultivation of moral conduct and good behavior, the growth of a rich and varied literature in diverse parts of the world and the inspiration for painting, sculpture and architecture of enduring aesthetic value. Many of the tales are set in or near Benares, now called Varanasi, a city in north central India on the Ganges River. One of the worlds oldest cities, Varanasi is the most sacred place for Hindus, Buddhists and Muslims also have important religious sites nearby. According to tradition, Buddha began his teaching at Sarnath a short distance from this city. Part of the canon of sacred Buddhist literature, this collection of some 550 anecdotes and fables depicts earlier incarnations sometimes as an animal, sometimes as a human of the being who would become Siddhartha Gautama, the future Buddha. Jataka stories are well depicted in Amaravati, Nalanda, Ajanta, Ellora, Bharut, Nagarjunikonda, Borobudur and Angkor Vat. At this point I wish to draw the young friends special attention to the story of The Stupid Pupil, from the collection of Nangaleesa Jataka-123. When you read or listen to these very old stories, if you wonder how much it is really true, you should test the meaning, weigh or consider it, and depend on your own intuition to know the truth of it. Then follow and practice what you know to be true. Happy Reading!

In a Gurukula (school), several students studied under an Acharya (Teacher). There was an idiot among them. He could not learn anything due to his stupidity. But, he served his Teacher very honestly. He performed all the duties like a slave. So, the Teacher would not let him leave the Gurukula. One evening, as the Acharya lay down to sleep after the meals, the stupid pupil came to serve him. He gave him a good massage. The Acharya felt sleepy. As a leg of his cot was weak, he asked the stupid pupilSon! Put a support under the cot when you leave. But, the pupil could find no support. So, he supported it on his thighs and sat there the whole night so that his teacher could have a sound sleep. At sunrise, the teacher was surprised to see him sitting there. He askedWhy are you sitting here, my son ? Teacher! I could find no support for the leg of the cot, so I have supported it on my thighs. The Acharya was moved by his pupils innocence. He thought that the pupil served him devotedly. He was an idiot whereas other pupils were intelligent and therefore learnt all the skills. How could he make him wise? Therefore, he thought of a plan. He decided to teach him through simile. !I will send him to the forest to bring wood and leaves, and ask him what he saw there. Thus, I will make him familiar with new objects. I will let him learn by himself, and make him wise. Thus, he will be able to learn all the skills like other pupils and succeed in his life, the Acharya thought. He called the pupil and told him-

My son! Now, when you go to the forests to bring wood and leaves, try to memorize what you see there and eat. And, recall it to me when you return. Very well, said the pupil. One day, he saw a snake in the forest. He told his teacherTeacher! I saw a snake today. Son! How is a snake? It is like the blade of a plough.

Very good, Soh! You have made a good simile. A snake is definitely like the blade of a plough, the Acharya said, and thought that the pupil could be made wise. Once, the pupil saw an elephant in the forest. He told the teacherTeacher! I saw an elephant. Son! What is an elephant like. Like the blade of a plough. The Acharya was puzzled. He thought that the trunk of an elephant is, of course, like the blade of a plough. But, its tusks and other parts are not like the blade of a plough in any way. Perhaps, he cannot describe them separately on account of his idiocy. He kept quiet. On another occasion, the pupil sucked a sugar cane in the forest. He told the teacher-

Teacher! Today, I sucked a sugar cane. What was it like, my son? Like the blade of a plough . ! The teacher thought that the pupil was correct to some extent. So, he kept quiet. But he was not convinced. The following day, the stupid pupil went to attend a party with his mates, where some of them ate jaggery with curd while othefs took jaggery with milk. The stupid pupil told the teacher on returnTeacher! Today, we took milk and curd at the party. What is milk and curd like? Like the blade of a plough. The teacher fell silent. He sat there brooding over the stupid pupils prospects. He thought- This pupil compared the snake with the blade of a plough, which was all right. He compared the elephant with the blade of a plough, and perhaps did so considering its trunk, which was also right to some extent. He compared the sugar cane with the blade of a plough, which could be passable. But, how can one compare milk and curd with the blade of a plough? The milk and the curd are white, and they take the shape of the container they are put in. This is a wrong simile. I cannot teach the stupid boy. And, he saidAsabbatthagamim vacam, Balo sabbattha bhasati. Nayam dadhim vedi na nangaleesam, Dhadhibhyamam manjati nangaleesam.

initiated in this direction, which again in unison to the hypothesis made in the thesis. Entrepreneurial lack: In the North Eastern Region, the unemployment problem has become a paradox because the unemployment in the region is growing, not because there is lack of opportunities, but because the unemployed youths have failed to take advantage of the opportunities available to them. It is an accepted fact that the availability of entrepreneurship is the most important determinant in the process of industrialization. The Government in its efforts to create entrepreneurship provides various monetary and non-monetary incentives like the development of an infrastructure, assistance in marketing and procuring raw-materials, providing finance or granting subsidies on investment. Various state and central organizations have accordingly been created to cater to the needs of entrepreneurs. But reality in field draws

the Legislative Assembly has played a pivotal role as the highest platform of decision making and shaping the future of Arunachal Pradesh. It has been aptly declared as one of the best functioning legislative assemblies of the country, a recognition well deserved. Whatever the state and its people have achieved till date is nothing but the contribution of this august house, the Temple of Governance. None could succeed and rise the ladder as an elected leader until and unless entering such a house to prove his capability. It is a day for introspection what we all have achieved so far but what a great distance is left for us to walk to reach our goal. On the occasion he paid respects to all the former legislators who walked the corridors of this Assembly and were major contributors in the development of state. The celebration of assembly day will not be complete if we dont remember and pay respect to the members of the erstwhile Agency Council, Tuki added. Paying glowing tributes to Prem Khandu Thungon, Late Tomo Riba, Late Tadar Tang, Late Sobeng Tayeng and Wangpa Lowang, the pioneers of politics in the early days of the state and laid the foundation of the glorious

steps of the common man. The intention of organizing todays Assembly Day is to look back at our own glory and to march forward with pride. We now propose to celebrate the Commonwealth Day and the Assembly Day every year. We have a plan to decentralize the meaning of these events particularly the Youth Parliaments by organizing them at district levels. With this in view, we also have the idea of empowering Committees to have their sittings in locations other than Naharlagun so that people can have the taste of their mandate functioning before their own eyes, he said. He appealed the government to increase the frequency and duration of sessions and to accommodate more Private Members business so that debates become lively; meaningful and goals of the Constitution stood achieved. Long absence of the Assembly may weaken the democratic fabric. We are not having an executive type of democracy here but a Parliamentary form, where animation of the Assembly for longer durations is both integral and indispensable for the very survival of democracy. Informing that all the members are being given Laptops for empowering e-legislative activities said that this is

those who are marginally in the middle income group or doing an ordinary grade government job cant think of maintaining the family chore without depending on house maids. During the field visits it had been a common scene that the workers were outsiders. Power: Power is one of the major infrastructures for the growth of industrial activities of any size. Arunachal Pradesh has a huge potential for the development of hydroelectric power because of its many torrential rivers. The per capita consumption of electricity in A. P. was 86.9 kwh in 2001-02 against the all-India average of 335 kwh (Mandal,2007). In addition to water resource, the state has oil, natural gas and coal resources that can be used in the production of electricity. The government of India has taken initiative for large scale production of hydropower. Such initiative will also have the spin-off benefits like

It can be argued that that lack of entrepreneurial skill of the local people and their deficient interest to invest and innovate has contributed in preventing the evolution of modern economic system in the State.

history of the Legislative Assembly, he said their contribution in the evolution of this Assembly will be written in golden letters not only in the history of this August house but also in the history of Arunachal Pradesh. He invited the members to resolve to walk together, work together and achieve the goal together. It is far but achievable if we all adopt the Team Arunachal spirit, he maintained. Speaker of Arunachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly Wanglin Lowangdong in his inaugural speech said, legislature constitutes the nerve centre of governance structure. In computer terms, it is like the Central Processing Unit occupying vital space. When the Legislature malfunctions, democracy dies and when its role and relevance are enhanced, it thrives. When I say Legislature, I include popular governments, as these arise out of the lower Houses in all Parliamentary forms of government. On this auspicious Assembly Day, it has, therefore, become imperative for all of us to remind ourselves of our cardinal duty to devise ways and means as well as to take serious steps to strengthen the Legislative Assembly, the institution of Presiding Officers, the Committees and the Secretariats. Thirty eight years ago, the first Legislative Assembly of the Union territory met, and after Statehood, the Assembly met for the first time twenty-six years before. Since then, the Arunachal Assembly had been marking its glorious history in terms of legislations, resolutions, motions and other debates. The Arunachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly has been scripting and shaping the destiny of the people of Arunachal Pradesh in myriad dimensions, he informed. Democracy is not a caged bird within the walls of the Legislative Assembly building; he said and insisted that it must permeate the minds and hearts of all citizens like fragrance from a flower. This will happen only when democracy is taken to the door

part of digitizing the environment and marching towards a Paperless Office. We have to train our officers and staff in digital skills besides training MLAs and their Private Secretaries in using computers. Training to the MLAs and officers and staff in constitutional and parliamentary matters is absolutely necessary so that Legislative Assembly becomes a vibrant forum of popular action, hence enormous emphasis on training of human resources. As part of the reform and improve the functioning of the Assembly secretariat, the Secretariat of the Assembly need to be Memberfriendly. Stating that these tasks, which are of very high priority, with objectives to strengthen the democratic fabric of the state required liberal financial support from the government, he appealed the government to support the ventures so that a responsible government is constructed through the Legislative Assembly. He further appealed the Chief Minister to concede the administrative and financial independence of the Speaker as mandated under article 187 of the Constitution of India, which will enhance the functional efficacy of Assembly Secretariat. Dedicating the entire celebration to all those eminent men and women who form the basic bricks of the democratic citadel-the Legislative Assembly, he paid tributes to all members.

blurry picture of entrepreneurs. It can be argued that that lack of entrepreneurial skill of the local people and their deficient interest to invest and innovate has contributed in preventing the evolution of modern economic system in the State. One example of their lacking interest in setting up enterprises is that those tribal boys/girls who go for craft training do not want to have their own business but like to join as craft teachers in government organizations. The mindset of the most of the contemporary tribal of the State are not to establish their own enterprise but to venture either in politics, contract business, or government services to earn easy money. This mindset can be termed as psychological barrier which has emerged very strongly in the present socio-economic context of the State. Some tribal people within a very short period of time have experienced income and wealth inequalities to a high degree. Very few of them have been found to become very rich overnight and enjoy luxurious life and prefer conspicuous consumption which has been adversely affecting the rest of the society. The income inequalities in the tribal society are very strong. Some are very rich and some are stark poor. The presence of high degree of corruption at all levels and existence of underground economy is also a deterrent to States economy. Taking undue benefits of subsidy linked Scheme: It has been in common practice that the persons seeking financial assistance under Government sponsored schemes normally prepare their scheme proposal by considering only the upper financial limit as it has direct bearing with the quantum of subsidy entitled. This fact has clearly emerged through field investigations as bigger projects have higher failure rates. It is commonly observed that the beneficiaries and sometimes even the implementing agencies do not consider the economic viability of the proposed projects. The concerned financial institution gets limited scope to appraise the projects to suit their prescribed norms. As a result in the present practice, majority of government sponsored schemes fail miserably. License issuing system: The outsiders who want to venture business in the State are to obtain license in the name of an Arunachalee who gets rent from the concern businessman for the license. These trading people earn money and mostly siphon off in their respective home because they dont get the right to buy property for independent business. This status largely refrain the private investors in coming and opening up ventures in Arunachal Pradesh. Institutional credit for trade and industries are available to the local people but they lack entrepreneurial skills and show hardly any interest in industrial activities. Therefore, like Inner Line permit, the License issuing system of the Government has also discouraged the opening up of KVI units in the State. Lack of dignity of labour: The contemporary Arunachalees, mostly are oblivious of their age-old pride of dignity of labour and even for petty household works they depend on assisting hands. This has quietly uprooting the habit of doing productive works on self help basis and making them dependent on others. This is contrary to the entrepreneurial trait. The concept of depending too much on servants for the whole lot of household chore has become almost a glamour or vanity of neostatus concern tribal families. Even

employment avenues, increase in consumption of industrial products, roads, schools, banks, health care, postal facilities, and training centres etc. In the study 72.5% respondents opined that their activities were hampered by power supply irregularities. Transportation: The service of transportation is a prerequisite for economic development. The road density in the state is very low. In 2001, the road density was 17.36 km per 100 sq. km of area as against the national average of 82 km per 100 sq. km. The main reasons for this low density are: the difficult topography and undulating terrain, the late start of development process, and the high cost of construction in the inaccessible and remote hostile terrain areas. The states does not have lateral roads connecting districts, since roads run vertically connecting places via Assam with districts or sub-divisions of the state. This has not only resulted in high transportation costs but also affected by disturbed law & order situation and insurgency problem of Assam. The State at all has no railways except 1.26 Km metre gauge railway line laid in 1989 connecting Bhalukpong with Indian railway map. This is a major handicap and supplemented by the

Subsidy and Various Incentives: Lack of adequate knowledge and proper training to State Government officers dealing with the subsidy are some of the important factors responsible for not utilizing the subsidy to the maximum extent. Hence, it is suggested that besides these incentives, the Government should impart proper training to Government officials dealing with subsidy schemes, etc., to get the work done efficiently and to conduct intensive campaign to make available the various incentives at the door of the prospective entrepreneurs quickly. The Government should also evolve a procedure by which the procedural delays are minimized. The Government should also provide some suitable channels of marketing to market the small industry products and give them incentives, like price preference, exemption from sales tax, etc. Raw material depots should be set up for prompt supply of materials in sufficient quantity. Basic infra-structural facilities should be developed. Efforts should be made to minimize cost of production and increase their productivity. Equitable Regional Distribution of KVI units: The most important problem of KVI is that of obtaining necessary finance. The artisan requires finance for purchasing raw materials, for stocking the same and for holding finished articles. The artisan generally very poor and there are facilities of cheap credit available to them because they do not have the asset which is the requirement as security with the banking institutions. Naturally they fall into the clutches of money lenders who charge exorbitant rate of interest, or else they borrow from the dealers of their goods, who exploit them thoroughly by compelling them to sell their products at very low prices. Technique of manufacture: In KVI, the technique of manufacture is poor and primitive. The KVI workers have no idea of the recent development and improvement in the art of the technique of production and they use old methods and implements, with the result that the technical efficiency is increasing the cost or production and is rendering them unfit to compete with the large industries products. While it is essential that KVI should receive the maximum support in terms of State policy and specific assistance from the government, these measures cannot have more than short-term values unless the technique of production

field feed back. Raw materials: some of them are faced with the problem of raw materials procurement. They are not always supplied in time and in adequate quantities. Hence, the entrepreneurs have to postpone the production or incur heavy expenditure on transportation to get the same from the area where it is available abundantly. KVI are suffering from acute shortage of raw material. The KVI workers do not get regular supply of raw material required by their trade. They are very much handicapped in getting adequate material due to their financial position and have no arrangement for stocking raw materials which are obtained seasonally have to be used throughout the year, e.g. oil seeds. Besides, there is also considerable lack of reliability in the equality of raw materials sold by the middlemen with the result that it destroys the reputation of the artisan who uses them. Thus, the artisan does not get enough of what he wants and what he gets is of poor quality and that too has to be bought at higher prices. The only way to meet this problem is to form the collective or cooperative societies. Infra-structural facilities: Another problem faced by the entrepreneurs is the availability of adequate infrastructural facilities in backward areas. In spite of the Governments efforts to develop infra-structural facilities for attracting entrepreneurs to backward areas, entrepreneurs are reluctant to go to these areas and start an industry. Most of these areas are not developed industrially, mainly because of the absence of basic pre-requisites to industrial growth i.e., there is lack of adequate infrastructural facilities, like transport and communication, good roads, railways, recreational and educational facilities, etc. In some cases the entrepreneurs come forward to set up an industry in backward areas which are in close proximity to a metropolitan city, only with the objective to avail of the incentives granted by the Government. In such cases, most of their time is wasted in going and coming to factory and home.

of KVI improves rapidly. The utmost importance must be attached to arrangements for Research and Training in KVI. Standardisation and marketing of KVI products: The most important problem which the KVI workers are facing is with regards to the difficulty of marketing their products. From handloom weavers to the ordinary potters, all have to face this difficulty. Some of them are that lack of finish and uniform quality on the part of KVI products, higher cost of production, as compared to machine made goods,

The modern economic development involves large-scale use of power. Due to its geographical location and its hilly terrain, Arunachal Pradesh has an immense hydel potential to use the power of water to produce electricity in comparison to the other states of the country. The State is of turbulent perennial rivers and major streams, which possess enormous hydro-electric generation potential. The National Hydro Power Corporation (NHPC) has undertaken survey and investigation works of Siang and Subansiri basin mega hydro power project with an estimated installed capacity of 20700 M.W. Inspite of having high potentiality of hydro power, to fulfill the present requirement of the power the State has to import of States share from central sector and to purchase from Assam State Electricity Board (ASEB). But, in near future Arunachal Pradesh is expected to be made a Power Surplus State so much that after fulfilling the home demand it would earn much revenue by exporting power to rest of the country. Therefore, Arunachal Pradesh, having such untapped estimated hydro power potential of 48991MW of the major five rivers, may emerge as Power House of India when this potential is fully harnessed (Mandal, 2007). In addition to water resource, the Stare has oil, natural gas and coal resources that can be used in the production of electricity. Advertisement: In the modern age, the strength of every business depends on the strength of advertisement. The sector needs more advertisement for its product through all modern media. The free web-space provided by the KVIC in their website (www.kvic.org.in) for the State KVIBs should be filled with worthy information relating to the State and the APKVIB. This may be done by engaging professionals or with the help of National Informatics Centre. 90% respondents of the KVI unit owners demanded more advertisement. Border Trade: The North Eastern Region is isolated, landlocked which shares only 2% of its border with the country and rest with Bhutan, Bangladesh, Myanmar and the Tibetan region (China) and China. Most of this international border has been artificially created. The result has been the elimination of the regions trade, commerce and other linkages, which existed in the pre-independence days. These North Eastern States are very close to the dynamic South-East and East Asian economics. It is imperative to develop a coherent policy linking this area. The observation is in factual fitness to the State or the region as revealed from the investigation. As the three sides of the state is bounded by Bhutan to the West with 440 km, China to the North with 1630 km and Myanmar to the East with 160 km., there is a great possibility for border trade, if it opens, the KVI would develop automatically. 64% respondents bore in favour of border trade while 36% remained silent, the researcher thought that they had no clear idea about the potentiality of border trade. Therefore, priority to develop border trades with Bhutan, China and Myanmar should be opened. Flow of relevant information: 68% needed more flow of relevant information so as to enable them to keep the entrepreneurial world abreast

The modern economic development involves large-scale use of power.

lack of suitable market organisations and lack of ability to wait for better prices due to poverty, non-availability of market information, etc. The KVI department of the State may also see that the KVI workers move with the time and produces those goods which can be readily sold at remunerative prices. The problem of marketing will not be successful solved unless he artisans themselves act collectively and to form an efficient marketing system which is essential. Solutions In order to have better implementation and monitoring of KVI programme in the States, KVIC has to initiative more to put foothold of its presence and establish its field officials in the entire region of the state. KVI may occupy a unique position in the rural economy of this region and collaborative approach may have been initiated. Under Rural Employment Generation Programme (REGP), concession facilities are extended more to the weaker section. Accordingly, 30 percent Margin Money is provided to the entrepreneurs of north east region, whereas margin money for other than north east is 25 per cent. In spite of many concession facilities extended to the region, contribution of KVI sector is not satisfactory, though KVI has a bright future in this region.

with the recent trends. The Department of Industries may launch a periodical bulletin and ensure its circulation to all far and wide prospective entrepreneurs. Any good development, success stories, whatsoever minute it may be, around the entrepreneurial world in the State need to be highlighted through this periodical. This doses a moral boost and confidence building. Performance of Banks & Financial Institutions: 86% seemed that the banks & Financial Institutions should play more constructive role in lending credit support to technically feasible and economically viable proposals. The Arunachal Pradesh Industrial Development and Financial Corporation, which is at doldrums, needs to be revived with view to participate in the efforts of industrial development. The presence of North Eastern Development Finance Corporation Limited (NEDFi), Guwahati, which has a branch office at Itanagar, in the State, needs to make perceptible with adequate flow of assistant out of North East Equity funds. The monitoring machinery needs to be strengthened which should essentially include detection of sick industrial units and draw up a nursing plan for their rehabilitation. The Department of Industries should outline the plan. (To be contd. on next issue)...

(This story is reproduced from 1970 issue of NEFA INFORMATION)
In a message broadcast on the occasion of the Republic Day, 1970, the Governor of Assam & Nagaland, Shri B.K. Nehru, assured the people of NEFA of all possible assistance for their economic and political growth. The Governor remained the people of the great responsibility resting on them as inhabitants of a sensitive border area and expressed confidence that they would discharge this responsibility with faith, determination and cheer. The full text of the Governors message is reproduced below; I am extremely happy to speak to you on this auspicious occasion of our national life. 26th January is an important day for us, because 19 years back on this day, the nation adopted for itself a constitution and Indian became a Democratic Republic guaranteeing to the people all the fundamental right necessary for leading a free and democratic life. On this day we should all renew our pledge to maintain national unity and territorial integrity. As inhabitants of a sensitive border area, the people of NEFA carry on their shoulders great responsibility. Similarly, the officers and staff of various departments working in NEFA also have a very heavy responsibility and will discharge it with faith, determination and cheer. NEFA presents a fine example of national integration with people from different parts of the country, speaking different languages and professing different religions, life together in peace and amity. I am confident that this glorious tradition will not only be maintained but further strengthened and NEFA would show the way to the rest of the country in leading a secular, peaceful, friendly and democratic life. I have been greatly impressed by the striking progress which the NEFA Administration has been able to achieve in providing the people to NEFA the basic amenities of modern life and other welfare institutions. During the last 20 years tremendous progress has been made in different spheres of activities in NEFA. The people also develop healthy aspirations and strong urges for social and economic progress. Due to sheer forces of circumstances this north-east frontier region of the country has remained under developed for countries. Combined efforts have now been made by the people as well as the Government to jump the centuries and make up for the past deficiencies. The pace of development in NEFA would be evident from the figures of expenditure on various plan projects during the last three consecutive Five Year Plan. I would like to quote very many figures and shall only briefly mention the amount of money spent in various development schemes during the plans. Expenditure during the Third Five Year Plans. Period was almost double of the combined expenditure of the First Five Year Plan and Second Fife Year Plans. For the year 1969-70 the proposed Plan expenditure of the order of Rs. 3.50 crores which will be the highest amount proposed to be sent in one single year. The provisional Fourth Plan of NEFA envisages an expenditure of Rs.16.29 crores. It is expected that it will be possible for the Planning Commission of the Government of India to provide the necessary fund for our Fourth Plan. It will be seen, therefore, that the rate of developmental work in NEFA has been growing every year. I hope that is tempo would be maintained in years to come. In the field of agriculture, the annual food production has gone up to 68,000 Tons and serious efforts are being made to make up the short -fall in agriculture production to make the area self sufficient as quickly as possible. In the field of health services, as against only 15 hospitals and dispensaries in the entire agency in 1947, there are today nearly 100 hospitals and dispensaries with various specialized services providing medical coverage to the local people. As against only 168 kilometers of motor able roach in 1947, there are about 18,000 kilometres of such roads in NEF A today, thus greatly facilitating internal mobility and opening up the region. Educational facilities have expanded by more than 150 times during the last 20 years. There are now more than 500 schools of various standards and a college in NEFA with an enrolment of about 23,000 students. In 1947 there were only 3 schools in the entire Agency with about 30 students in the roll. These figures are only illustrative and not exhaustive, and would speak for themselves. The most important achievement during this year has been the introduction of the Panchayati Raj in NEFA. On 3rd of December, 1969 the Agency Council, which is the apex institution under the Panchayati Raj system in NEFA, was inaugurated and with it a new era of social and political resurgence in NEFA has begun. Establishment of Panchayati Raj has not only created new hopes and aspirations among the three and a half lakh people of NEF A, but has also marked the beginning of further social and political advancement of the people of NEF A on democratic lines. The 3rd December, 1969, is therefore, a red letter day in the history of NEFA, for it marks the beginning of the exercise of statutory power by the people of the Agency to manage their internal affairs. It is now for the people to make a success of this institution by offering fullest cooperation to the Panchayati Raj institutions. I have no doubt that such assistance and cooperation will come in abundance and the people will be able to promote social and economic development and also take larger share in the administration through this institution Now that Panchayat system has been ushered in, I have every hope that the ageold vigor of NEFA will find better channels which will lead to further material wellbeing as well as their closer relationship with the rest of the country. One of the basic objectives of administration in this territory has been to achieve emotional integration of the people living in these parts of the country with the rest of the nation. These people, due to geographical and other reasons, had to live an isolated life. In this fast changing world it is neither desirable nor possible to keep them in isolation. It is imperative in the national interest as also in the interest of the people of this territory to break this isolation and bring them into the main stream of Indian life. The officers of the NEF A Administration and workers of various agencies engaged in welfare activities in NEFA will have to work towards this end with sincerity and determination. I may assure the people of NEFA that the advancement and safety of their region are very much in the mind of the Government of India and the administration will offer all possible assistance for their economic and political growth. I also fully appreciate the problems and difficulties facing our officers and staff in the interior areas of the Agency. Theirs is an onerous task, but I am sure that they will face up to these difficulties cheerfully and serve a great national cause. I wish you all a prosperous and happy future Jai Hind.

Putting her best efforts, Srivastava contacted the DC Aalo and asked him to ensure to keep 33 KV line healthy by the EE/AEs of Aalo upto Gini village which is hardly 10 kms away from Aalo headquarter. At the same time, she directed the ADC Boleng to improve telecommunication service in Pangin-Boleng area liaising with the BSNL authority. She said that it has been experienced that when there is power cut, telephone service goes off and the Engineers of Pasighat fail to contact Pangin sub-station to collect information for immediate restoration of power supply. Sometimes it takes hours together or more than a day for necessary rectification etc. She hoped that such kind of negotiations and efforts will definitely bring some positive results in days to come.

PASIGHAT, August 4: Challenging the drought like situation in the district, Foxtail Millet locally known as Ayaak was reintroduced in Mebo subdivision under RKVY (Rastriya Krishi Vikash Yojna). It is healthier than rice and a generation back this was the common food of the people. According to Ojong Yomso, East Siang DAO, it is fairly tolerant of drought and due to its quick growth, this can be grown as a short-term catch crop. People cook it as rice and the high fiber and protein content make sure that one can stay full for a long time after eating millets. This wonder grain is extremely diabetic friendly and contains carbohydrates, iron and very rich in magnesium which reduces migraine, severity of asthma and keeps blood pressure under control. The DAO further informed that a five days demonstration was conducted by Mebo ADO, Borik Megu with modern method and techniques to the farmers to ensure bumper productivity.
