Assamnetters of the World UNITE! You have nothing to lose but your' BLEAK future in the hands of CROOKS and MORONS LEADING you all to destruction.' You have to speak out. If you passed matriculation Somehow -- YOU ARE QUALIFIED AND CAPABLE OF COMMENTING on this Vital Survival issue-- The Unflowing-out OF NorthEastMonsoon waters. Everybody should come out an say her/his say. I never said NO to the great Indian Thinker- the MajorSahab's Great Bold New- Deal Thoughts --- TO Flood us out of Existence. Who am I to say that? THE GOVERNMENT !!!??? is going to rebottle the BHRAMAPUTRA genie in a new bottle labelled " Brahmaputra RiverValley Authority"- controlled by 8 State Chief Ministers To control everything inside of NorthBank and SouthBank ie 50% of liveable growable Assam valley . Like all booty from Assam areRedistributed to" NE Sisters and Autonomous subsisters" --all encouraged to hate Assam out--- now there will be Direct Control by these on Whom to settle inside the River. So after passing Matriculation if you keep mum = you are Sissies!

Re: [Assam] Khobor Eta Loisu...
Glad we are back into Assamnet.
Assamnet should guide Assam's future through rational Progressive expressive
thoughts- through 'common sense'-- not common with the "Bhagya Vidhatahs of
Assam".
Assamnet should be tolerant -democratic( not the kind branded SO in India) .
Everybody should consider himself/herself as guests allowed into a platform--
not for one-up-manship efforts .
Let there be a VITAL new topic to discuss:
Howmore or how less useful will "Brahmaputra RiverValley Authority"
BRVA be -- vis-a-vis " Brahmaputra Board-BB- 32 YEARS under Brahmaputra
Board Act 1980"As Torun blirted out " BB failed-- so the Centre is asking
for our opinion on BRVA" -- AND HE PROMPTLY' AGREED'
[Who is he to agree to 'AGREE' on the fate of the lifeline of Assam to be
controlled by 7 Chief Ministers of States where the River does not flow?]
This is the Subject.The SUBJECTshould go deeper:
Because "Free India's BB " failed to do anything about Flooding +Bank
Collapse in Assam+ the unabated shallowing at Mymensingh- the exodus
continues since 1930 or so.The Exodus can be reversed only by de-shallowing
at MymensinghAs Assam wants complete Reversal of the Exodus-- deshallowing at
Dhubri> Mymensingh all the way to Ganga mouth is the Prime need .Can BB do
it? Can BRVA DO IT?On top of it all is another luggage to carry --- "National
Waterway No ??"
Lately someone from Delhi has been proposingAsom Sagor{Oxom Xagor). We
ALSO notice some enthusiasm LOCALLY" .These are"Only Solution is
impounding in Tributaries"
The kind of quackary is KILLING Assam.

[Assam] Dams and the Damned via Uttam Kr Barthakur+Facebook
Ram chandra Guha (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramachandra_Guha) has written
this piece
Dams and the damnedwww.telegraphindia.comGrowth at what cost?
A few pointshighlighted:
WROTE Jairam :-to
his PM
·
“some of the concerns that
were expressed [at the Guwahati meeting] cannot be dismissed lightly.”
·
to
engage different sections of society in
Assam particularly and in other Northeastern states( Like?) as well.
Ramesh’s "judicious, sensible recommendations" attracted hysterical
condemnation from a New Delhi newspaper wedded to the doctrine of “growth at
all costs”.{5%?}
It charged him with seeking
to “destabilize an entire region’s development”.
What
development?? Which Region?
and
integration into the rest of the
economy” As shown since 1947?
R GUHA THINKS: {Wrong Class Dam Photo }
·
The dams would largely benefit
cities in the plains, while displacing local farmers, herders,?? and
fisherfolk.??
Twenty
years ago, in our book, This Fissured Land, Madhav Gadgil and I pointed
out that, unlike Europe and North America at a comparable stage of their
industrialization, India did not have access to colonies, which she could
conquer or settle.
·
This should have
entailed a more prudent, responsible, and efficient use of the country’s
natural endowment. [Setting Assam aside as not to worry about?]
‘Tragically, since
economic liberalization we have instead adopted a more profligate pattern of
resource use.’
Guha
should now write one open letter like Ramesh did::[ To new President and
finmin] ;; “ Change or Die” .

Ranen Kumar Goswami Wrote to JUSTIFY
his own not- too-well-chosen
career:
""Eminent economist Amartya Sen, who is also
a keen observer of the socio-political developments around the globe,[ He

No substantial
famine has ever occurred in

Too many riders for a theorizer!!!
I have
following to ask :
·
What is a famine?
·
Do/can Assamese individuals including Ranen K G eat daily 1Kg
Fruits,1litre milk, 200g meat ,2 eggs 1947>>2012
In an address
delivered at the general assembly of the International Press Institute in New
Delhi on January 29, 2001, he said: ?
Consider,
for? example, the Chinese famine of 1958-61, in
which between 23 and 30 million people died.
And he did not mention the death toll in Tangshan Earthquake---==20
Million Killed at one district 1976??
Despite
the fact that the ChineseGovernment was quite committed to eliminating
hunger in the country, it did not
substantially revise its disastrous policies (associated with the ill-advised
Great Leap Forward) during the three famine years.
DID CIA Wrote his script??
We never heard of such a
famine in China.
I was in a FREE
Press country -
UK in ‘58>’61
In China
Grain is fed only to Pigs .

The Nobel-recipient economist further points out that a similar story can be
seen
in other major famines, which include the Soviet famines of the? 1970s,

Re: [Assam] assam Digest, Vol 82, Issue 6-Comments on JFA's Demand for Improved Meteorological Services
JFA demands = FROM WHOM=for improved meteorological services in Assam Guwahati: Improved meteorological service and the availability of information related to weather forecast can reduce drastically the number accidents both in land and water ways, commented Journalists? Forum Assam (JFA) in a statement, where the forum has also appealed to the media houses to provide some space for spreading the information related to weather predictions regularly. WHAT IS THE USE-- ?? ?The Dhubri boat mishap that seemingly ???drowned over two hundred passengers should be an eye opener for all of us. For crossing a mighty river like Brahmaputra that need few hours in some places, nobody should sail without proper weather updates == BUT THIS BOAT CAME ( Without any Reverse Thrusting) AND SMASHED ON THE SHORELINE .AND OTHER BOATS NEAR THE CRASHPOINT WERE UNHARMED. HOW COULD INDIA Meteorologists help?? The State meteorological office must be ACTIVATED?? WAS THERE ONE EVER??? and it should disseminate the information through various channels including its own centers and websites and also the mainstream media,? HOW COULD FERRIES USE Such Brilliant Hints A FEW DAYS LATER??? said the JFA statement issued on May 5 by its President Rupam Baruah. The JFA also argues that a large number of people have been killed in accidents taking places around the State, which can be minimized??? with the help of timely weather related information. PRAY HOW?? Preparing for a long journey, the passengers could browse information like the prediction of rain, fog, wind, storm, cyclone etc and may reschedule their trips. FERRIES TAKE 30>60 MINUTES .

Centre firm on promoting NE tourism: Sahay Staff reporter GUWAHATI, April 10 – Union Tourism Minister Subodh Kant Sahay today vowed to market North East tourism sector, both domestically and globally, which according to him would go a long way in alleviating poverty. “Let all the States of North East join hands together and the Ministry is ready help catapult the region’s tourist sector to the global map,” assured Sahay after formally inaugurating ‘MV Mahabaahu’, country’s first luxury river cruise ship at the Uzan Bazar Ghat. ‘MV Mahabaahu’, which is built under a public private partnership between Far Horizon India and Assam Tourism Development Corporation Limited, will cover various tourist hotspots including Kaziranga National Park and river island Majuli on its way. The luxury river cruise has been built at a cost of Rs 26 crore. The Union Minister further said that a vibrant tourism sector can be the biggest employment generating source and the North East has all the ingredients to be a centre of tourist attraction. On the new cruise, he said, “This is certainly a pioneering effort in the tourism sector of the region, which was missing till now.” Sahay went on to say that the Ministry has decided to make a film on the tourism sector of North East to help the region’s tourism sector to catch international attention. Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi, who was also present on the occasion, said that river Brahmaputra has been a lifeline for all activities, be it trade, commerce or tourism. “North East has its unique identity which we must promote in the global milieu. There are places which can even be tagged as unique world heritage site,” Gogoi said. “We are bad in marketing ourselves unlike some of the smaller places like Sri Lanka and Thailand. However, things are improving and we are also receiving good response from the Union Government,” Gogoi pointed out. “With the potential we have, Assam should soon find an important place in world tourist map,” he added.

UGC proposed four new models to the Planning Commission for the 12th Plan Period to facilitate entry of private players in higher education sector Submitted on 02/13/2012 - 10:15:21 AM New Delhi: In an effort to facilitate the entry of private players in the higher education set-up, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has proposed four new models to the Planning Commission for the forthcoming 12th Plan Period. The proposals for new private partnership models for expansion of higher education sector in the country come in view of the needs of the education sector in the country, which according to estimates require investment of over US $ 150 billion (Ashamed of INR?)in next 10 years. The four proposed models are: basic infrastructure model in which the private sector invests in infrastructure and the government runs the operations and management of the institutions, in turn, making payments to the private investor. The second proposed model is outsourcing model in which private sector invests in infrastructure and runs operations and management and the responsibility of the government is to pay the private investor for the specified services. Equity or hybrid model is the third model in which investment in infrastructure is shared between the two sectors while operation and management is vested with the private sector. The final proposal is reverse outsourcing model in which the government invests in infrastructure and the private sector takes the responsibility of operation and management. Sources stated that four models of public-private partnership have been proposed so as to maintain flexibility in the investment pattern. Means : Make moneys HOWEVER The government has proposed setting up of large education hubs in different parts of the country anchored by large public and or private sector enterprises funded through their allocations for corporate social responsibility. Big moneys for Himanta The government has proposed to increase the Gross Enrolment Ratio from its current 12.4 per cent to 30 per cent by 2020. “Alas I have Degrees -but no education “ For enhancing the GER to this level, about 1,000 more universities and 45,000 more colleges are needed. “”EDUCATED “” will gravitate to city- and die.

The Siang Upper hydropower facility would be the second largest in Asia after China's Three Gorges plant and would increase the state-owned utility's overall production by more than a quarter.

[Assam] DR Sanjib Barua's eulogy to great Assam Lover Dr L..C.JAIN -- some Q's
Prior to joining the WCD he chaired the Indian Planning Commission?s committee on development options for Assam for putting into effect Clause 7 of the Assam Accord. ??? Indeed in his remembrance essay on Jain published in this newspaper, a retired senior civil servant from the region and former Tourism Secretary M. P. Bezbaruah calls Jain a ?true friend and crusader for the Northeast?LIKE??known for ?his personal advocacy of NE development as one arm to fight the divisive violence.? The others -- ?? The WCD was established jointly by the World Bank and the World Conservation Union (IUCN) in 1997 in response to the controversies over large dams that were raging in many parts of the world. As a major funder of dam building projects, the World Bank was at that time embroiled in a number of those controversies. The WCD?s mandate was to ?review the development effectiveness of large dams and assess alternatives for water resources and energy development? and to ?develop internationally acceptable criteria, guidelines and standards for the planning, design, appraisal, construction, operation, monitoring and decommissioning of dams.? It is a matter of remarkable good fortune that a person who had Northeast India?s best interest in mind and a person who was intimately familiar with the developmental challenges of Northeast India?s was a key figure in the WCD. One can venture to guess that Jain?s knowledge of Northeast India had indirectly found a place in its deliberations. As a result Dams and Development has perhaps more relevance to our region than any such global document. The 12-member WCD with South Africa?s Water Resources Minister Kader Asmal as chair and L.C. Jain as Vice-Chair was designed as what is sometimes called a ?multi-stakeholder process,? that is it tried to include individuals who are "representative of the diversity of perspectives" on the question ? that is industry representatives and large dam advocates, as well as their opponents. The Commission had the support of a full-time professional Secretariat, a 68-member [ Big Bazaar]advisory Forum, and numerous experts from a variety of academic disciplines. It built a comprehensive knowledge base of large dams and it closely examined many dam projects in different parts of the world and consulted extensively with people involved in those projects and those affected by them.What will ‘talking to people’ do? WHICH PEOPLE -- 1 Bln indians?? The WCD?s report Dams and Development launched in 2000 by Nelson Mandela recognizes that ?dams have made an important and significant contribution to human development, and the benefits derived from them have been considerable.? POOR ZA –NO RIVERS!! concludes that ?in too many cases an unacceptable and often unnecessary price has been paid to secure those benefits.? In its view, notwithstanding significant gains from such projects--for instance in terms of the production of hydropower--a very high social cost have been extracted because many dam building projects had failed to recognize the complex nature of rivers and river ecosystems. For instance, the dramatic changes to ?rivers, watersheds and aquatic ecosystems? and their adverse impact on ?downstream livelihoods? have been inadequately understood and as a result, thousands who depend on river ecosystems have been impoverished because of losing their traditions sources of livelihood. LIFE ITSELF WILL BE AT STAKE DOWNSTREAM OF LXD GOGAMUKH. To ensure that future dam building projects do not extract such a heavy social cost, the WCD?s report proposes a policy framework that decisively breaks away from the idea that decisions on dams are primarily the domain of technical and economic experts. Means only TO BE DECIDED by “ELECTED LEADERS &IASs Consistent with Jain?s bottom-up and participatory view of development, the WCD?s report emphasizes the need to ensure that the affected people have a chance to make ?informed choices? and that they should be active parties in negotiations and not just passive victims or beneficiaries. Dams and Development even recommends that dam building decisions should be made only with the ?free, prior and informed consent? of the people affected by dams and that their acceptance of such projects be ?demonstrable.?WAS XUBONXIRI DAMMING DECISION TAKEN IN 1970’S AFTER CDONSULTING THE LOKHIMPURIAS and continued - Brushing aside Top INDIAN GEOLOGISTS WARNING " DO NOT BUILD HIGH AT GOGAMUKH"// It will not be hard for anyone familiar with Jain?s work to see the impact of his thinking in Dams and Development. As a Gandhian?, Jain did not like centralisation of power. BUT THEY SENT HIM AS AMBASSADOR AND DAMS CO-CHAIRMAN!! Despite being a member of the Planning Commission himself, Jain has gone on record to say that in ?more than 60 years after Independence, centralised planning had not made a dent on poverty.?WHEN-HOW LOUD DID HE? He complaine

MM PS **Should every Scientist know the facts?? H5N1, which devastates chicken flocks, first caused human disease in 1997. Since then there have been 581 confirmed cases, 342 of them fatal. Nearly all have occurred in Southeast Asia in people with close contact with infected birds. Person-to-person spread is extremely rare. The two research groups — Fouchier’s in Rotterdam and one at the University of Wisconsin led by Yoshihiro Kawaoka — created H5N1 strains that were both lethal about 60 percent of the time and easily transmitted between ferrets, the lab animals used as surrogates for human beings in flu research. The National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity, created by the US federal government after the 2001 anthrax letter attacks, reviewed the papers. It advised the Department of Health and Human Services that it ask the journals not to publish the methods for making the strains, and not to identify the specific gene sequences and mutations that appear responsible for the virus’s easy transmissibility. The journals reluctantly agreed as long as provisions were made to give all the data to scientists and governments with a legitimate need for it. Who those are and how to do it will be major topics of the Geneva meeting---.

But we should be glad that we do not have an “unconstrained technocracy” like that in China where as the Economist magazine pointed out last year, “all but one of the nine members of the Politburo Standing Committee are engineers.” Unconstrained technocracy, says the Economist has not been a guarantee of “good ideas or decisions” in cases such as the says the Economist has not been a guarantee of “good ideas or decisions” in cases such as the Three Gorges dam, the SARS epidemic or the high-speed rail network. the SARS epidemic or the high-speed rail network. But democracies can find ways of engaging with ontological politics that autocracies cannot. However, to find a way out of the impasse on Lower Subansiri the authorities will have to go beyond dogmatically asserting the authority of the elected government or of the law. Fortunately, in a democracy people who fear the potential adverse impact of a government decision has the ability to organize itself into a public. The memories of devastating earthquakes, the lived experience of frequent floods, and the knowledge of scientists, technologists and intellectuals deeply engaged with the region, have constituted an extremely well-informed regional public around the issue of Lower Subansiri. Indian democracy has to find a way of meaningfully engaging that public. View Post on Facebook · Edit Email Settings · Reply to this email to add a comment. ___ assam mail
[Assam] What was wrong when many years back AGP tried to get me to speak for THEIR idea of ASSAM in a FEDERAL India
Scottish independence referendum: Liberal Democrats deputy leader Simon Hughes calls for English devolution Simon Hughes said it could be time for an 'English devolution', adding that the current set-up was 'unjust' to the English. Picture: Getty By Eddie Barnes Published on Sunday 22 January 2012 00:00 THE prospect of the full re-drawing of the British state moved a step closer last night amid fresh calls to create an English parliament by a senior member of the Westminster coalition. In response to the moves by the SNP to take Scotland out of the Union, Simon Hughes, the deputy leader of the Lib Dems, said that it could be time for “English devolution”.Claiming the current set-up was “unjust” to the English, he also said the law should be changed to bar Scottish MPs from voting on English issues at Westminster.Hughes’ intervention came in advance of the unveiling of Alex Salmond’s proposals for the holding of an independence referendum at Holyrood this week. It emerged yesterday that the SNP may be planning to hold the referendum – planned for the autumn of 2014 – on a Saturday to boost the turnout at the polls.Although not a holder of a ministerial post, Hughes is one of the most influential figures in the Lib Dem party. An English parliament is not Lib Dem policy, but if created it would shift the UK towards a federal system, with its four nations increasingly tied only by foreign affairs, defence, and other nationwide issues. ---They wanted Delhi To control :DefenceExternal affairs including Foreign TradeCURRENCYCOMMUNICATION ITOLD THEM " DROP 2,3,4 "-- OR DROP ME OutTHEY DID NOT DROP 2,3,4.

At a meeting of the Council on Trade and Industry here, Manmohan Singh also voiced concern over the "difficult circumstances" in global economy, high inflation in the domestic front and the sharp depreciation of the rupee. "I must confess that it is a little disappointing to sometimes hear negative comments emanating from our business leadership or be told that government's policies are causing slowdown and pessimism in the industrial sector," he said at the meeting attended by leaders of private enterprise in the country. "Such comments have added to uncertainty and have emboldened those who have no stake in our economic growth," he said.

1 If Ranbaxy has to pay back $ 500 MILLION in fines= Rs 2750 CRORES -- imagine what they must be EARNING-- And HOW. I never take their medicines ! 2Karl Kraus, "Corruption is worse than prostitution. The latter might endanger the morals of an individual, while the former invariably endangers the morals of the entire nation." Uttam Teron said: "Corruption cannot be eradicated overnight but that does not mean we should silently observe the malpractices. I am trying to create an example to government schools that even with limited resources, one can deliver and make a difference in the poor people's lives," Uttam’s first 5 words are Rahul’s. But who CREATED a society full of POOR people? Rahul is scared stiff of being netted for his and his father's humongous Corruption by a Strong Lokpal aided by Sovereign CBI . That is why Mother, Son and all their Chamchas are after Team Anna.

[Assam] THE NEW AMERICAN PIRATES-- And the Ghandy-Tamil crowd-aided by yes men Torun-Himonto
THE NEW AMERICAN PIRATES ARE KILLING AMERICANS.-- Karl Marx,Lenin,Khruschev would all agree and say "I told you so". This story is not about glamorized or fictional piracy. This is, “real piracy.” Hundreds of our wealthiest leaders and most powerful corporations know that in the next few years, they will be able to siphon, skim, and steal, so much “NEW CASH,” that they and their progeny will be ultra-rich for generations to come. No, this is not funny, or fiction, or a conspiracy, it is just simple greed and simple theft. The new pirates of America have launched an all-out siege on us in order to capture, amass, and hold trillions of dollars for themselves. All of the recent political power grabs and nonsensical debating is purely a slight-of-hand deflection. President Obama, Democrats, Republicans, the International Press, and even the Tea Party, are watching the tiny pea in the shell game…while the rich and powerful “Piratical Right” is stealing America right out from under us. Consider that their combined total plunder from corporate flipping, downsizing, offshore labor, speculation, price fixing of oil and energy plus, corruption in defense, health care, banking, student loans, foreclosures, etc., etc., is a trillion dollar treasure for these pirates. Go ahead, put your own calculator to it. Are they smarter than we are? Yes, and they are laughing at us. I, we, you, and all of us, have not been able see the big picture of what is happening to our own country and to our own people. The rape and theft of America, has been cleverly packaged, promoted, and sold under the guise of “cost-cutting,” “deregulation,” and “free enterprise.” The “Piratical Right” is directly responsible for millions of people dying, getting sick, losing their jobs and homes, losing their ability to fight, their spirit, and even losing their will to live. The sick smell of this carnage now permeates the air across America. To us, this is all unimaginable, because we look for some sense or the morality of things. These modern-day American pirates however, have no moral compass. They are devoid of any conscience, humanity or soul, and are feeding on the flesh of the American people. Don’t look to the President, the Senate, Congress, the press, or any political party to help. Sadly, they just don’t see it, don’t care, or are part of it. “We the people” are on our own. Start asking questions. Demand answers. If we don’t fight back America…who will? History has taught us how to stop piracy. By Mr. S.

[Assam] What Should Progressives Do About the President? And about the ELECTED LEADERS of India /Assam?
“Progressives may sometimes feel like they're in a backdoor high-school affair with the President. You know the kind: The popular kid will make out with someone from the wrong side of the tracks. But he'll only take a rich kid from "the right kind of family" to the school dance. The President often courts the left when he needs it, only to pitch his actions to the right at clinch time. Right-wing ideology is often mistakenly called the "center" today, despite holding views that are so conservative they're often rejected by Republicans as well as Democrats.” mm ___ assam mailing list assam@assamnet.org http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org

[Assam] World's Largest Democracy
http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=1KZUGLPHxHGGUqi80ID2WxyYPOOjl8Cg Can A Movement Save The American Dream? “On October 3 activists from across the country will gather in Washington at the Take Back the American Dream conference, in the belief that only a citizens movement can save an American dream that grows ever more distant. In the face of a failed economy and a corrupted politics, the only hope for renewal is that citizens lead and politicians follow. The modern American dream was inspired by a growing middle class that was the triumph of democracy after World War II.” Looks like Akhil and Anna are being copied. But was it Democracy at all. And-Rahul Ghandy quipped at Tura --“ Only constitutional changes can remove corruption-not street corner demonstrations” He knows better. · Election Commission continues to be manned by his YES men. And Torun/Himonto always elected with thumping majority. · So also Electronic Voting Machine software writers. · 1000 Crores at a time are siphoned off using cash transfer electronics in State Bank. · The 160,00,000 Crores “given away” for/from 3G spectrums . · ‘Smart’ moves like public leaking of PranabBabu’s ‘Secret Letter’ To “P.M”—where he feltthat Digomborom could have stopped the 3G spectrum giveaway.Getting Supreme Court declare" If a rural family could spend 32Rs a day =$0.60 a day -that family is NOT below Poverty Line" Next Coming up---Subsidized ration only to Below Poverty Line families. ___ assam mailing list assam@assamnet.org http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org

[Assam] India trying hard to Overtake China - but HOW
India’s views have also been shaped by a 1962 war that ended with China seizing a chunk of the northern India state of Kashmir. The countries still have an unsettled border, and China claims a large piece of territory controlled by India. Raghav Bahl, an Indian media executive who has written a book about the economic rise of both countries, said Indians “nursed a severe feeling of humiliation” from the 1962 war that was compounded by China’s economic rise. “There is a sense that this is one race that we could have done much better in,” said Mr. Bahl, author of “Superpower? The Amazing Race Between China’s Hare and India’s Tortoise.” But he added that Indians had regained confidence recently as a result of their country’s strong economy. Many, like Mr. Chidambaram and The Economist magazine, have suggested that India could soon grow at a faster pace than China. Its economy, at $5.9 trillion, is about three and a half times as big as the Indian economy, but China’s population is much older than India’s. In China, however, India does not register as a threat, economically or otherwise. Mr. Pei, the economist, said Chinese officials, executives and even many intellectuals did not have a nuanced understanding of India. Communist conservatives maintain that “democracy is hindering India’s development,” he said. http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org
[Assam] Bee Keeping Economics
I too noticed the lost enthusiasm for beekeeping in our village and the surrounding areas. I suspect, it is a combination of the effort that goes into it, lack of adequate knowledge, resultant low yields and perhaps even low price fetched by the harvests. I understand a litre of honey in Assam these days cost around Rs. 200. That is fairly good for the villagers, but the buying power of Rs. 200 these days of essential goods not locally produced, is virtually negligible. Thus the incentive is not there. Incidentally, India is the largest exporter of honey to the USA. There is huge discontent among US beekeepers raging these days, because of Indian merchants laundering banned Chinese honey ( due to excessive use of prohibited antibiotics) and dumping in US markets at low prices, thereby driving down price of American beekeepers' produce. -- Part of the same malady -- the dependence on the useless Indian Rupee. Because nobody assures that the yield will be promptly paid for at "SUPPORT PRICE" and lifted-- HARDLY ANYBODY takes to beekeeping.Yet Assam could have a million hives -if not Crore --to forage in the girdling hills /forests Nobody extolls the great virtues of Honey-Propolis-Wax as super nutrient,Biomedicine,prophylactic-- nobody buys and takes . If there was any money to buy -- they buy PotatoSituation is same for all seasonal greats : Pineapple,Orange, Amlokhi,Tomato,Carrot,Arum(Kosu),KathAlu, Kothal, Oxomiya Nemu,-- each running to million tons/season Yesterday there was a daylong government DO -- To facilitate meeting Big names in food Processing.Euphemism for" Surrender to India ".Another fruitless Torun/Prodyut 'Investment' meet?Today's Doinik Oxom 3rdpage article blames children Not eating FOL-MUL at the root of rapid rise in Assam in anemic weak,disease prone Youth.
