3. HISTORY OF THE DISTRICT :

Dhalai District was created in the year of 1995 by bifurcating North Tripura District and

including part of Amarpur Sub-Division of the South Tripura District. It was created keeping in view

the administrative exigency of providing development & good governance to the largely Tribal

inhabited & inaccessible areas. The District is named after Dhalai river which originates in the District.

4. GEOGRAPHY:

Located in the North-eastern part of Tripura, the District covers an area of about 2426 sq

km. It is mainly located between two hills namely ‘Atharamura range’ & ‘Sakhan Range’. More

than 70% area is hilly and forest covered. The terrain is mostly undulating & hilly with small water

streams (chharas), rivers and fertile valleys intervening. Major rivers originating from Dhalai are

Dhalai, Khowai, Gomati& Manu. Major hills are Atharamura, Longtharai, Kalajhari& part of

Sakhan. The District headquarter at Ambassa is located at a distance of about 85 km from the

State capital Agartala. It is connected through National Highway (NH-44) and takes around

2(two) – 3(three) hours to reach the District headquarter from Agartala. Meter Gauge Railway

link has already been established at Ambassa. The District is surrounded by Bangladesh on the

Northern & Southern sides.

5. CLIMATE & TEMPERATURE:

7. TOURIST DESTINATIONS:

Dumboor Lake, a massive

and breathtakingly beautiful

water body of 42 sq. km with

an unending spell of luxuriant

green vegetation all around,

lies majestically with her

irresistible beauty in

Gandacherra Sub Division,

about 70 km away from

Ambassa. The looks of the lake

is like a "Damuru" of Lord

Shiva, from which the name

"Dumboor" originates. The lake

is the confluence of rivers Raima and Sarma, and is speckled with 48 islands. Various species of

migratory birds are visible in the winter and it has rich reservoir of natural and cultured fishes. In

one of the island, a "NarkelKunja" or a coconut island has been developed. There is a Hydel

Power project near the lake from where River Gomati originates.

9. MAJOR TRIBES: As is evident the District is largely a Tribal district with 59% Tribal population. The major

tribes are Tripuri, Reang, Kuki (Halam/Darlong/Hrangkhawl), Koloi & Chakma. Reangs are one of

the Primitive Tribal Groups (PTG) as classified by the Govt of India. Tribals mostly reside in the

remote hilly forested areas with the fertile valleys being occupied mostly by Non-tribals

(predominantly Bengalis).

10. ECONOMY:

Socio-economically it is most backward District of the state. In 2006 the Ministry of Panchayati

Raj, GoI, named Dhalai one of the country's 250 most backward districts (out of a total of 640). It is

the only District of Tripura which receives grants from the Union Government under the Backward

Regions Grant Fund (BRGF).

Classification of Workers

Page 5 of 70

As is evident from above diagram, an overwhelming 76% of the workers are dependent on

agriculture for their livelihood. Practice of Jhum cultivation (shifting cultivation) still continues in many

parts of the District by the tribals residing in the deeply forested hills. The fertile Valleys are mostly

occupied by the non-tribals, mostly Bengalis, and are the primary centers of economic activity in the

District. 25% of the households in the District are classified as Below Poverty Line (BPL)

The Strengths of the District are its huge natural resources, fertile land, conducive climate,

adequate and well spread rainfall, high literacy rate & strategic location of the District being well

connected by the National Highway (NH 44). If all these resources are utilized properly, rapid

development can be achieved but for lack of required infrastructure and inaccessibility of many tribal

areas the District is still very backward. The main factors for the backwardness of the District can be

summarized as follows:

- Poor Infrastructure

- Poor Connectivity & communication facilities

- Lack of stable economic activities

- Poor Irrigation facilities

- Poor Marketing facilities

- Poor Health and Sanitation facilities

TRIBAL SUB PLAN (TSP)

A special strategy was adopted during the 5th five-year plan (1975-79) for accelerated

development of the Scheduled Tribes. This strategy is called Tribal Sub-plan (TSP). It is a

mechanism under which each development department of the State Government is required to

quantify and set apart an amount of their plan budget provision for implementation of schemes

exclusively for the Welfare of Scheduled Tribes in Tripura. The fund so quantified shall not be less

than the percentage of ST population in the State. In Tripura each development Department has to

quantify at least 31% of their plan fund towards Tribal Sub-plan. In 1995-96 an important

decision was taken by the State Government to the effect that the fund earmarked as Tribal Sub-

Plan should be booked against the Budget Demand of the Tribal Welfare Department (under

Demand No-19).

LINK ROADS :

In Dhalai, almost all the habitations are now connected with Link Roads. In few residual

habitations, link roads are being constructed under various schemes like MGNREGA, PMGSY,

PWD State Action Plan, etc. Besides, financial assistance is also being received from the SC/ST

Welfare Departments of the State Government for creation of infrastructure development,

including creation/improvement of road-connectivity, in SC/ST dominated villages.

POWER CONNECTIVITY :

In December 2014, out of the total 1077 habitations of the district, 840 habitations had already

been brought into the ambit of electricity coverage; and concerted actions are now underway

to cover the residual 237 habitations too with electricity connection by September 2015 under

RGGVY (Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana) Phase-II. Besides, electricity service

connections to BPL households, of which a major chunk is of SC/ST households, are also being

provided on flexible terms under Kutir Jyoti Scheme. System Up-gradation and extension of

transmission line to extend the sweep of electricity coverage, as well as to improve quality of

service, even for consumers in remotest parts of the district, are consistently being undertaken

by drawing in financial resources available under schemes like RGGVY, BADP, BRGF, BEUP

(Bidhayak Elaka Unnayan Prakalpa), State Plan, etc.

A few tribal hamlets inhabited by Primitive Group Tribe (Reang) in Tripura situated in distant

and inaccessible areas are being covered through solar power. In order to provide electricity

and solar power in such hamlets under TSP areas, fund is provided under this scheme.

15. BRIEF ACTION PLAN FOR VARIOUS DEVELOPMENTAL ACTIVITIES UNDER

DHALAI DISTRICT IN THE YEAR 2015-16

Introduction: Dhalai is one of the most backward districts in State and India with 52 % BPL

Population, 58% Population comprising of various tribes, more than 75 % area being hilly terrain

and jungle, and having highest number of RoFR Beneficiaries i.e. more than 31500. As there is no

private capital, main mode of survival of the people is primary activities such as Agriculture in plain

areas, Jhum in hilly areas, domestic animal rearing such as pigs, cattle and poultry. At present main

source of income generation for about 80000 families out of 105000 families is income from

MGNREGA and other primary activities. Last year i.e. in 2014-15 a record 98 mandays under

MGNREGA was achieved under Dhalai District which is the highest in the State and in the Country as

well. As the year 2014-15 was a sort of base year for MGNREGA fund flow, there will be assured

fund flow for at least 97 mandays under Dhalai District under MGNREGA in every year in future.

There is huge potential under Dhalai District for sustainable income generation for the poor families

especially RoFR families through various types of income generating plantations and intensive use of

available agricultural land and animal resources.

Page 26 of 70

ACTION PLAN FOR 2015-16 IN BRIEF:

1. Generation of at least 95 mandays under

MGNREGA with 20 % material

component- Already targets have been

given to all the BDOs like previous

year(2014-15)

2. Provision of Sustainable Income

Generating Plantations under

MGNREGA which are water-scarcity

resistant and can be easily grown on

tilla/hilly land such as Rubber, Areca Nut,

Banana, Pine Apple, Lemon, Oranges,

Tea etc on RoFR land as per the demand

of the beneficiaries. Total plantation planned in this year 2500 hectares out of that 800

hectare is Rubber, 200 hectares of bamboo, 500 hectare is Areca Nut, 550 hectares of Pine

Apple, 300 Hectares of Banana (Shabari variety), 60 Hectares of Tea, 90-100 acres of

Mulberry, and some 50 hectares of citrus plantations like lemon, orange, Mausambi etc. The

plantations will be taken up throughout the year i.e. in June –July Rubber, Bamboo, and Areca

Nut, in November-December Pine apple

and in February-March Banana. Through

plantation there will be generation of

almost 80 % mandays and 20 % will be

material component on average. All the

plantations will be on clustered basis and

with the provision of 10 % gap filling

and operation and maintenance in next

three years. It is well known that any of

this plantation on one hectare of land will

generate the income of Rs. 10000-

12000/- per month per family. Already

many preparatory meetings with PRI

Representatives and officials have been

conducted from January 2015 onwards and it has been included in the MGNREGA shelf of

Project of 2015-16. As per the direction of the hon’ble Chief Minister Tripura preference will

be given to the Jhumia families residing in the border areas.

3. Action plan for construction of 25 number of brooder Houses (2000 birds capacity) under

convergence of MGNREGA and BADP for women headed SHG Groups - At present there

are only eight brooder houses under Dhalai District out of which three are under construction.

There is shortage of eggs and poultry meat under District and huge demand. There has been

direction by the hon’ble Chief Minister to construct at least 5-6 brooder Houses under every

RD Block so as to boost up the production of poultry and eggs. To construct one brooder

House, Rs. 120000/- is needed as per the estimate given by the ARDD Department. Out of

this Rs. 400000/- will be allocated from material component of MGNREGA per brooder

Page 27 of 70

house as Rs. 40000/- are permissible

for one MGNREGA beneficiary and

thus by clubbing 10 women members

under one SHG, Rs. 400000/- can be

made available. Remaining Rs.

800000/- will be allocated from

BADP and accumulated miscellaneous

interest funds from various schemes at

the disposal of district. Construction of

brooder Houses will be done by RD

Department, ARDD Department will

provide initial 2000 chicks, feed,

vaccination and training and capacity

building support and the brooder

house will be run by women SHG

selected by VC/GP. Already sites have been finalized for construction of brooder houses and

selection of SHG is under progress. This may boost poultry and egg production of Dhalai

District in significant way in the coming years.

4. Plan for provision of women SHG based 25 number of Mushroom Cultivation centers ( Rs.

100000/- each) under capacity building fund of BADP:- There is about Rs 30 lakhs of BADP

capacity building fund under Dhalai District which is still unutilized. One condition of BADP

capacity building fund is that the beneficiary must get employment /self employment after

the capacity building training under BADP and the concerned authority should certify it. There

is huge demand of mushroom in the local market and one kg mushroom is sold for Rs. 300/-

per kg. Also the production process is very

easy. Under BADP Rs. 10000/- is permissible

for one beneficiary for capacity building. For a

women SHG having 10 members there will be

Rs. 100000/- available under BADP. Out of

this Mushroom Cultivation house can be built

with Rs. 90000/- with at least 500 straw

bundle capacity. Each such straw bundle can

generate 600-700 grams of mushroom within

15 days. The training will be done by

Horticulture department and construction of

Mushroom cultivation houses will be done by RD

department as per the specifications prescribed by Horticulture department. Technical

support, capacity building and training of SHG members will be done by Horticulture

department and

5. Plan for construction of total 20000 Individual Household Latrines under Swacch Bharat

Mission and MGNREGA upto March 2016 so as to make 50 % VC/GPs free from Open

Defecation:- As per the direction by the hon’ble Chief Minister, action plan has been

submitted to the DWS Department in this regard. Out of this already 2000 IHHLs have been

constructed before March 2015 and 4700(APL) IHHLs are under construction which will be

completed by June 2015. Remaining 13300 IHHLs will be constructed by March 2015 under

Page 28 of 70

Swachh Bharat Mission and MGNREGA material

component and some funding from the State

Government (for uncovered APL household which

are not in the database).

6. Plan for construction of 50 SHG Based Vermi-

composting Units (Rs. 100000) each under SLWM

fund of Swacch Bharat Mission:- Rs 40 lakh has

been made available under Swacch Bharat Mission

for Solid Liquid Waste Management under Dhalai

District. As per the guidelines of Swacch Bharat

Mission, Vermi-composting units are permissible

under SLWM. It has been decided by the Zilla

Parishad Dhalai to construct 50 number of SHG based Vermi-composting units by adding Rs.

10 lakh from interest fund component/BADP

component for remaining 10 Vermi-

composting units. The compost so produced

will be purchased under MGNREGA for

various plantation activities so as to give

assured income to such women SHGs.

7. Plan for innovative Awareness

Generation on Sanitation, cleanliness and

malaria prevention by way of animation

films/documentaries in various remote

villages schools and hostels etc- Already

action has been taken and many such

innovative awareness generation camps have

been organized under all the subdivisions

involving PRI representatives. As the people

in the remote villages are available in the

evening, the teams are going in the evening

with generator, Projector, Screen, lights etc.

This has already faced huge response from

local people from remote areas. The

animation films on Sanitation, cleanliness and

Malaria prevention have been translated

into Kokborok/Bengali etc. Nehru Yuva

Kendra and ICA department have been

engaged as government agencies under

Awareness Generation fund of Swacch Bharat Mission for the said purpose.

8. Plan for roadside and avenue plantations and approach roads for AWCs and Schools under

MGNREGA : Detailed plan has already been chalked out.

Page 29 of 70

9. SURVEY OF TRIBAL TONG HOUSES (THATCHED KUTCHA MAKESHIFT HOUSES) UNDER

DHALAI DISTRICT : There is prevalence of

traditional Tong Houses in many remote

habitations of Dhalai District. Existence of Tong

Houses reflects the poor condition of the people

living in these habitations. The matter was

discussed with the Hon’ble RD Minister and

preliminary survey was done earlier in which it

was noticed that there are still more than 5000

Tong Houses under Various habitations of Dhalai

District till date. Now more detailed survey is

under progress to know the number of APL (poor)

families which are living in such Tong Houses but

they are not being provided with the BPL Ration

Cards due to limited BPL quota. It is to mention

that housing assistance under IAY and TSGHS is

permissible only for BPL job card holders. After

the survey special project will be submitted to the

State Government for provision of pucca houses

to these APL poor families living in Tong Houses.

10. Action Plan to provide assured irrigation facilities to the agricultural Land which remains

fallow from November to April due to

lack of assured irrigation. Out of total

geographical area 231229 hectares, 86

% area of Dhalai District is hilly terrain

and not suitable for intensive agriculture.

However in the remaining 14 % area (

31932 which is suitable for agriculture i.e.

net cropped area), it has been noticed

that 22786 hectares of agriculture is

single crop i.e. it remains fallow from

November to April due to non availability

of assured irrigation facilities. The area is

mostly under Salema, Durgachaumuhani,

Ambassa, and Manu RD Block of Dhalai

District. I have already instructed all the

BDOs to prepare five year action plan to cover this vast amount of rain-fed land (22786

hectares) under some sort of assured irrigation under various schemes such as MGNREGA,

IWMP, WR schemes etc. As the area is flat land mini-deep tube wells, small lift irrigation

works, irrigation channels can be constructed under Dhalai District which may lead to

doubling of Agricultural Production under Dhalai District in future years and it may have very

huge overall impact to reduce the poverty level of the district in future years.
