Economic Development The developmental experience of the district has been full of challenges. Apart from its late start, geographical remoteness and inaccessibility, hilly terrain, lack of infrastructure, population composition, and scarce resource base, the district has indirect effect of continuous insurgency at two districts (Tirap & Changlang), spending much of its resources on administration and related costs at the expense of development. Despite the progress made in a span of 37 years. Lohit economy still confronts many developmental challenges. Foremost among them are the difficult terrain, and inaccessibility to the rest of the world and continued insurgency at Tirap & Changlang ­ where huge chunk of resources are drained. These handicap the District’s endeavors towards industrial and entrepreneurial development, private sector partnership in spearheading development initiatives and all round planning. The Gross District Domestic Product for the year 2007­08 is estimated at Rs.46,635 lakhs with a per capita income of Rs.29,952 against state per capita income of Rs 24,264.The infrastructure Development Index (IDI) of the district is low with the state at 140.22 against the all India average of 138. It continues to confront with many inadequacies in the areas of physical and social infrastructure. The pattern of infrastructure elements for socio­economic development in the district as on 2006­07 are­ Educational institutions: 174, No. of Medical (allopathetic): 55, Postal facilities: Headpost­NIL, sub­post office­5 & EDBPO’s­29, Market/haat facilities: At Rural/Urban areas,Cooperative­3 nos & others­102 nos, no. of Commercial banks: 27 nos which includes SBI &Co­operative Apex Bank branches etc. For the development of such essential and critical areas, the district is constantly faced with acute financial and resource problems. One of the reasons for this state of affairs is the almost non­existent Tax base of the state. The tribal traditions and customs of the inhabitants have also been protected by special provisions in the constitution of India as a result of which, the state does not own any land unless purchased from the people or on compensation for specific purposes by the government. Agriculture & Horticulture: Lohit district has a gross cropped area of 30,959 ha & net irrigated area of 1243 ha as per census 2001. Though there have been remarkable achievement in the field of agriculture but the target of growth rate (in terms of value added) envisaged for the Xth plan could not be achieved due to unfavorable rain and other factors in the form of excess rain or no rain and drought like situation over the years. The average annual growth during the 2007­08 was estimated much below targeted growth rates of 4%. ‐ 5 ‐
