AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT 

CROP HUSBANDRY 

The Annual Plan 2004 - 2005 is prepared by keeping the policy of increased food 

production in view but within the limitation of fund constraints. 

Under Crop Husbandry priorities are land development, construction of Link Roads 

and replacement of local variety of seed of different crops such as paddy, pulses, oilseeds 

etc., with High Yielding Varieties. Farm Mechanisation is given due weightage as the 

farmers have taken the scheme favourably. The other schemes are in line with the major 

schemes, supporting each other. 

Some important such as Commercial Crops Development, Oilseeds Development and 

Development of Pulses are also figured again after omitting for some years due to certain reasons. 

To attain self sufficiency in foodgrains, pulses, oilseeds, fruits, spices and help the 

farmers to adopt settled cultivation, the Govt. of Mizoram launched a special Scheme 

known as Mizoram Intodelhna Project (MIP) during 2002-2003. The programme will be 

continued during 2004 - 2005 with an outlay of Rs. 2,000.00 lakh. In addition to 24,306 

families assisted during 2003-2004, 35,000 families will be assisted during 2004 - 2005. 

The Annual Plan 2004 - 2005 Outlay is Rs. 2,900.00 lakhs for Crop Husbandry while 

the approved Outlay for the 10 th Plan is Rs. 3,266.00 lakhs.

SCHEME NO. 12 

Famine visits Mizoram at regular intervals during the flowering of Melocanna 

baccifera and Bambusa tulda. The occurrence of the past famines is due to the outbreak of 

rats, which devour the fruits/seeds of the flowering bamboos and after finishing the 

fruits/seeds of the bamboos, they continue to attack the rice crops, thereby causing a 

famine in the state. Thus, the government of Mizoram has initiated the formulation of a 

comprehensive programme of assistance for the farmers to combat bamboo flowering and 

famine, with an aim to reduce poverty among farmers during famine period. It is expected 

that large-scale bamboo flowering will take place around 2007. 

This programme would be achieved through adoption of intensified and diversified 

cropping system through mechanization in agriculture, post harvest technology, 

connectivity for market linkage, water harvesting ponds and Rodent Control Programmes.

SOIL & WATER CONSERVATION DEPARTMENT 

SOIL & WATER CONSERVATION 

INTRODUCTION 

Food, fibre and shelter are the basic needs of every human being. All these are 

obtained from the soil. Water gives life to vegetation. Water remains in soil mostly in 

moisture, liquid and gas forms. Moisture or liquid in soil keeps the plant food in soluble 

forms available to plant intake. To ensure healthy vegetation, it is imperative that soil 

should be rich in nutrients and water. Nature in its own scheme of eco-conservation 

maintains soil in healthy condition. Unfortunately, man and animal in their living and 

working environment disturb the soil cover, accelerating the erosion of soil and depletion 

of water. With enhanced erosion, soil fertility deteriorates and vegetation growth capacity 

reduces. Soil erosion also leads to depletion of water content and results in desertification 

of land. 

1.10: Soil erosion in rainfed areas is mainly caused by surface run off/flood. When the 

flow of water is free of any obstruction, then it starts eroding the surface bed. Under 

excessive rainfall condition, as exist in Mizoram, enormous volumes of water generates 

velocities and hydraulic dynamics causing heavy erosion. This results in formation of 

galleys and ravines. The impact is tremendous and the volume of soil loss is very high. 

1.20: The terrain in Mizoram is hilly and the entire landscape varies from mild to very 

steep gradients.. The intensity of rainfall is also very high and the total annual rainfall is 

2500 mm. “Jhum” or shifting cultivation has been the traditional mode of livelihood for 

the tribal people in the State. Pertinent statistics reveal that around 40,000 hacs is covered 

by this primitive system of land management. Burning of the soil along with the dried 

vegetation during jhum leads to soil fragmentation and increases land vulnerability to easy 

erosion during the monsoons. 

1.30: The monsoon that the state receives is both intensive and extensive. Torrential 

rainwaters storm down descending gradients at high velocity in undefined directions. The 

resulting floods cause excessive bank erosion and removal of debris over long distances. 

The low lying areas which are cultivable lands, thus get avoidable silt cover, apart from 

causing damage to standing crops. Another inevitable impact of such erosion is the 

decreasing filtration of water towards sub soil layers reducing soil moisture content. 

1.40: The excessive rainfall in habited locales and environments, along roadsides, where 

subsisting unregulated drainage systems are ineffective causes substantial dislodging of 

soil mass with frequent havoc causing landslides, landslips, area sinking etc. These are the 

visible signs of soil erosion that can cause immediate disruption to human and other 

forms of activity. However, the loss of fertile topsoil is not visible. 

1.50: Jhum cultivation, by virtue of its shifting nature, is a low productivity technology 

applicant. This is why a “Jhumia” migrates from one location to another ever so frequently. 

Arising out of this age-old practice, abandoned jhum plantations serve very poorly for 

agro-horti-forest crops cultivation. 

1.60: The hilly terrains such as ours, human settlement are traditionally located on the 

upper hill ridges. Notwithstanding the abundant rainfall that the state received annually, 

yet these settlements suffer inadequate water supply especially during the dry season. 

That apart, depleted moisture content in the soil layers, because of speedy runoff and 

cumulative soil erosion, dries up even otherwise flourishing vegetation. The spectre of fire 

and forest fires looms large all over the state.

- 30 - 


1.70: Off-season agriculture typically tends to take place in remote and undulating areas, 

access to which is tough, time and labour consuming. This adversely affects the health of 

the agriculture labour rendering it vulnerable to disease and pestilence. Premature aging is 

often the result. Labour costs thus become prohibitive. It is essential to connect cultivable 

and potentially cultivable areas with main and arterial roads- which although expensive is 

inescapable for the speedy economic development in the state. 

1.80: The absolute need for soil and water conservation measures in the state is a 

prerequisite for effective socio-economic development. Public awareness, education, 

association and participation in soil and water conservation is a matter of public concern 

and priority. 

1.90: The Agro-climatic conditions prevalent in Mizoram are entirely conducive to 

successful agriculture practices through soil and water conservation measures and 

objectives. 

2.00: Keeping in view of the above stated strategy, the Soil & Water Conservation 

Department proposes the following schemes to implement during the year 2005-2006.

2.01: All the schemes from I - XIV are State Sector Schemes and these are continuing 

ones. These scheme characters are that these are implemented as a new schemes at new 

locations with fresh group of beneficiaries. 

2.02: The Schemes at XV above under CSS programmes. (1) The Singla Project is a River 

Valley Project and it is a spill over programme from 9 th Plan. Total outlay approved is 

Rs.419.30 lakhs plus Rs.163.14 lakhs i.e. Rs.582.44 lakhs during 9 th Plan Rs.197.03 lakhs is 

being spent. The agreed outlay for 10 th Five Year Plan is Rs. 385.41 lakhs and that for 

2003-04 is Rs.100.00 lakhs. It is 100% CSS programme. (2) The AIBP - Mat Catchment

- 31 - 


Treatment Scheme is an approved program of 9th Five Plan. It is 1:3 (State:Central) 

matching shared programme. Due to non-availability of State matching share, this scheme 

could not be undertaken till date. Total outlay is Rs. 537.00 lakhs over 2 years. Outlay for 

1st year is Rs. 254.00 lakhs State matching share for the project is Rs. 84.70 lakhs for 2 

(two) years. 

3.00: It is also being approved for Tlawng catchment RVP/FPR Scheme costing Rs.10.00 

crores to include in the 10 th Five Year Plan. 

3.01: The Mat Catchment Treatment Project that was earlier posed for EAP take off will 

be approved again during 10 th Five Plan. Total cost was Rs. 40.00 crores. This was 

prepared by engaging consultancy of CSWR & TI, Dehradun under the sponsorship of 

Planning Commission. This scheme is submitted through the State Planning Department to 

Planning Commission. 

3.02: In the Catchment of Tuirial, Serlui ‘B’, Tuivai and Bairabi Hydel Projects, there is 

Soil & Water Conservation shares of activities. Total approved outlay is Rs.3.19 crores of 

which Rs.66.11 lakhs to be revalidated for execution during 2004 - 05. 

4.00: The Annual Plan, 2004-05 outlay approved is 360.00 lakhs under State Plan Sector. 

5.00: Priority will be imposed on Commercial Cash Crop of Coffee and Large Cardamom 

plantation expansion in the marginal farmer’s sector. 

SCHEME DESCRIPTION 

6.00: DIRECTION: 

For maintenance of vehicles, machineries, purchase of office contingencies 

including machineries & equipments, etc. in the Directorate, a provision of Rs. 33.07 lakhs 

are approved in Annual Plan 2004-05. 

6.02: ADMINISTRATION: 

There are 8 functional and one Engineering Divisions in the Department for 

implementation of the Projects/Schemes. Further, there is one Training Institute for 

training of field staff up to Demonstrators level. These functional units are under staff at 

Officers level. Some extension unit of Ranges and Soil & Water Conservation Centres are 

also under staff. Besides, there is pressures from public to open some centres and Ranges 

at some potential areas as Saitual, North Hlimen, Mamit, etc. which cannot be afforded to 

open at the existing staff strength. There is also instruction from Government to post 

ASCO(SDO) ranked officers in newly opened civil sub-divisions. For that it is unavoidable 

to create some new posts. Rs.103.00 lakh is approved during 2004-2005. 

6.02.1: The present post of Principal is required to be upgraded. This is essential for his 

higher responsibilities to entrust in the Institute. Also this is essential when it is seen for 

the future of the Department. After 2005, there shall be no Joint Director to overtake the 

responsibility of the Head of the Department.

- 32 - 


6.02.2: Publicity & Advertisement, Monitoring and Evaluation, Planning Cell, Engineering 

Division, Plan Formation Cell are part of administration. Reasonable fund provision is 

made to run these wings efficiently and effectively. Provision for Rs. 20.02 lakh for 

Annual Plan 2004-05. 

7.00: SOIL & LAND USE SURVEY: 

Project survey, investigation and project preparation. An area of 400 ha. in 2004- 

05 Annual Plan will be undertaken. To conduct these works, Rs. 1.00 lakh is approved 

during Annual Plan, 2004-05. 

8.00: SOIL & WATER CONSERVATION PLANTATION: 

For stabilisation of sliding zone along the lifeline National Highway and State 

Highways, there is hardly any other alternative than tree planting and deep rooting grass 

planting. Further, vegetation roots and leaf litters allows, in Situ, water retention over 

longer period and that reduces the chances of run-off causing landslides and reduces 

threat to life and property in human dwelling zone. To such a situation soil conservation 

plantation is the only effective preventive remedy. 

9.00: CASH CROP SPICES DEVELOPMENT: 

The Department has demonstration plantation of Coffee, Rubber and Large 

Cardamom in various locations of the State. The purpose of this plantation is to support 

demonstration and training to the farmers and data formation. Particularly from Coffee 

plantation a good amount of return is received every year. Rubber plantation also pays 

return but due to lack of fund during the past few years maintenance part could not be 

attended properly. Similarly, the Black Pepper cultivation in Coffee plantation is required 

to be introduced and therefore, from 10 th Five Year Plan it is approved to intensify care 

after of these plantations for profitable return in addition to other goal. The Coffee 

plantation requires replacement planting or rejuvenation. For this purpose, provision is 

made for rejuvenation and maintenance for Rs. 21.50 lakhs in Annual Plan 2004-05. 

10.00: PRODUCTION OF QUALITY PLANTING MATERIAL: 

From 2001-2002 Annual Plan of 9 th Five Plan, priority importance has been imposed 

on Expansion of Coffee and Large Cardamom in the marginal farmers sector. For a 

meaningful production of yield of this crop it is essential that the planting material to be 

of good quality from known seed origin. The reliable planting material production, it is 

experienced to be had from Departmental nursery and therefore, the Department has 

approved establishment of these nurseries near the planting areas and their maintenance. 

2004-2005 Annual Plan projection is Rs. 21.30 lakhs. 

11.00: WATER RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT: 

To overcome the water difficulties in nursery growing, it is essential to construct 

water harvesting device near living spring close to the nurseries. Also in plantation water 

need is unignorable. Above all needs the water resource development near the plantations 

gets the priority for its water use by the plantations in clusters. Besides plantation it is 

necessary to improve the water condition in the rural areas. In villages it is approved to 

construct and improve water points. During 2004-05 Annual Plan Rs. 7.70 lakh will be 

spent.

- 33 - 


12.00: RESEARCH, EDUCATION AND TRAINING: 

For conducting training and education of the grass-root level staff of the 

Department it is essential to continue this Training Institute at Durtlang. The training in 

Departmental technical activities which are up-dated due to technical updation. The 

training course is also being arranged for farmers in the plantation technology and other 

soil conservation activities in the 10 th Five Year Plan. 

The salary of teaching staff is committed to Non-Plan during 10th Plan onward. But 

the training expenditure and maintenance expenditure on infrastructures including office 

expenses are approved to be provided under Plan sector. Rs. 14.21 lakh is approved under 

Annual Plan 2004-05. 

13.00: RURAL ECONOMY INCENTIVE COMMERCIAL PLANTATION (R.A.D.): 

Under this scheme expansion of Coffee, Large Cardamom has been given high 

priority since the year ending 9th Five Year Plan. Under the existing agro-climatic and 

edaphic condition these crops are found growing jubilantly under the virgin forest of the 

State. Coffee per ha. yield is recorded 13 quintals from Bualpui experimental and 

demonstration Coffee plantation of Coffee Board during 2000. The crop yield is found to 

be higher than national average. The Cardamom is also shows encouraging yield in the 

recent past that preludes for going for the plantation in jhumia sector. It is necessary to 

keep the farmer attentive to his plantation during his peak jhum working season. For 

expansion of this cultivation Rs. 19.10 lakhs has been provided in Annual Plan 2004-05. 

14.00: RUN-OFF RETARDING SCHEME: 

On a slope ground surface rainwater moves faster with high erosive fertility from 

up level downwards in intensive rain. The surface run is a mobile flood and this causes 

intensive erosion damage. The damage is in terms of soil volume that includes Plan 

nutrients and soil. 

An open area cultivation is not productive and therefore, amendment of soil 

surface is required. This method of amendment of slope land is terracing, contouring and 

any other type of land use method across the slope is a safety measure for protection of 

soil and moisture. 

Soil & Water Conservation Department recommends this terrace construction on 

moderate slope land for its use in agriculture, horticulture or forest plantation 

development. This shapes the soil and soil fertility. The terracing programme provides a 

scope for developing agri, horticultural platform near the residential area of a farmer and 

agriculture exercise nearer the residential areas experiences high scope of success as the 

farmer is able to pay close attention to his farming. Under the present nature of 

habitation, the agricultural potential areas had been placed at a considerable long distance 

from the habitation areas. To remove this gap it is compelling that the agricultural land 

which are stable and can be used year after year for vegetables and other crops should be 

developed nearer to the habitation areas. Even a small plot of 0.25 ha. in the kitchen 

garden of a farmer should be encouraged so that self-sufficiency for a particular family is 

assured. Thus, this scheme is envisaged.

- 34 - 


Terracing above 5-25% slope is proposed, as it is the safest for conservation of soil 

and moisture. The terrace shall be constructed with all technique parameters so that the 

terrace does not get damage with the annual rain impact. These terraces will be 

constructed in the near habitation area only. Rs. 6.00 lakh is provided in Annual Plan 2004- 

05. 

15.00: SOIL CONSERVATION ENGINEERING: 

The Soil Conservation Engineering Works provides facility for protection of land 

damage by run of flood during peak monsoon. The agricultural land in the plateau, river 

banks and foot hills are ravaged by such kind of damages. The farmers who hold land in 

these areas are very much in need of such kind of assistance to engineering works. The 

main works of long term permanent are rock fill, wire boxes, spurs and stream course 

straightening. Rs. 8.00 lakhs is approved under Annual Plan 2004-05. 

16.00: MICRO-WATERSHED MANAGEMENT: 

Micro-Watershed Management is given a priority importance by the Government of 

India under Central sector programmes. These programmes are supported on detail 

project report preparation. Therefore, for survey and preparation of detail project reports 

of such programmes in the State sector a token fund of Rs. 1.00 lakh is provided in Annual 

Plan, 2004-05. Within this amount it is also targeted to take up one sample microwatershed 

project near Aizawl capital. 

7.00: OTHER EXPENDITURE: 

The expenditure on construction and maintenance of buildings and roads and 

machinery and equipments are placed under this head of expenditure. The Department 

has as many as 240 buildings which are quite old and needs maintenance badly. The 

Divisional and Range headquarters are connected with approach road. These approach 

roads required annual maintenance and improvement. Provision is made for taking care of 

these approach roads. Rs. 16.10 lakhs is approved in the Annual Plan 2004-05. 

13.00: INPUT SUPPLY: 

To meet the various needs for essential tools and implements, fertilizers and 

chemicals and time spelling requirements for plantation development and maintenance of 

the various sectors, it is approved Rs. 8.00 lakhs in Annual Plan 2004-05. 

14.00: BAFACOS: 

Bamboo flowering and famine combating scheme (BAFACOS) for Soil Conservation 

Engineering works consisting of Land development, Water Harvesting Pond, Gully control 

and Stream Bank Erosion Control for maximum mandays generation provision is made 

Rs.80.00 lakhs in the Annual Plan during 2004-05.

FISHERIES DEPARTMENT 

FISHERIES 

1. Background 

The Annual Plan allocation of Fisheries Department for 2004-05 is Rs.182.00 lakhs 

which has two components, viz. — (1) Annual Plan outlay of Rs.82.00 lakhs for 

implementation of all the ongoing Annual Plan Schemes as shown below & (2) Baffacos 

outlay of Rs. 100.00 lakhs. 

Scheme-wise Break-up and Additional Requirement of Fund 

Highlight of Fresh Water Aquaculture Scheme: 

The Scheme has 2 major components, viz., (1) Baffacos and (2) Fish Farmers 

Development Agency (CSS). Under Baffacos programme, the tentative target is to cover 56 

ha. of water area for construction of new ponds / renovation of existing ponds and 

training of beneficiaries (fish farmers) under the scheme. Detailed Action Plan on Baffacos 

during 2004-05 has already been submitted separately to Planning Department, 

Government of Mizoram. 

The second component under Fresh Water Aquaculture is Fish Farmers 

Development Agency (CSS) under which it is targeted to bring another 194 ha. of 

additional water are for renovation of fish ponds during 2004-05 through Fish Farmers 

Development Agency (CSS). Under the scheme only 25% of expenditure will be borne by the 

State Government and 75% of by the Government of India as per the pattern of assistance 

of Government of India. The Government of India has already sanctioned an amount of 

Rs.32.00 lakhs as Central Share under Fish Farmers Development Agency (CSS) and 

therefore, a State Matching Share of Rs. 12.50 lakhs (25% of the expenditure) has to be 

provided in the Annual Plan 2004-05 so as to enable to utilise the Central Share for 

renovation of fish ponds in the culture sector for production of fish flesh. The preliminary 

formalities, viz., verification of ponds are completed. 

Now, since the Sectoral Allocation of Annual Plan 2004-05 is restricted within 

Rs.182.00 lakhs including Baffacos, there is no scope for providing the State Matching 

Share separately under Annual Plan Outlay for 2004-05 and hence, it is approved to 

provide the State Matching Share for Fish Farmers Development Agency (CSS), i.e., Rs.12.50 

lakhs under Baffacos allocation during 2004-05 if the Planning Department, Government 

of Mizoram agrees, viz. — (i) Rs. 87.50 lakhs for Baffacos and (ii) Rs. 12.50 lakhs for State 

Matching Share of Fish Farmers Development Agency (CSS) as mentioned above. Details of 

the Scheme may be seen under the Scheme-wise description under Chapter-II. 

Marketing: 

Under Marketing Scheme, 3 Ice Plants and 2 Cold Storages are maintained and 

these assets are providing the requirement of Ice Blocks and Cold Storages to the fish 

farmers and fish sellers for facilitating marketing of local fresh fishes to a great extent. 

However, due to constraints of Plan Fund, the Department has not been able to clear off 

the pending bills for maintenance of aforesaid Plants, viz. — maintenance charge of 

contractor which has been pending since last year (Rs. 8.15 lakhs), power & electricity bills 

(Rs. 1.36 lakhs). Repairing cost of Kolasib and Bawngkawn Ice Plants-cum-Cold Storages 

(Rs.2.59 lakhs), etc. besides maintenance cost for the remaining period of 2004-05 (Rs.2.57 

lakhs). The detail requirement is shown separately under the scheme-wise description in 

the following paras. Therefore, an amount of Rs.16.30 lakhs is approved under Marketing 

Scheme during the Annual Plan 2004-05.

- 55 - 


Fish Seed Production-cum-Farming: 

Similarly, an amount of Rs.15.00 lakhs has to be provided under Fish Seed 

Production-cum-Farming Scheme for maintenance of the Fish Seed Farm which have been 

constructed under Non-Lapsable Central Pool of Resources so as to make it possible to 

start fish production (targeted at 60 lakhs of fish seed production during 2004-05) by 

providing inputs (fish feed, manures/fertilizers, liming, etc.) labours, machinery & 

equipment and nets & gears during Annual Plan 2004-05. (Details of requirement are 

shown separately under the scheme-wise description). 

Therefore, the minimum requirement of fund for the Annual Plan is Rs.231.00 

lakhs including Baffacos out of which only Rs.182.00 lakhs could be allocated in the 

Annual Plan 2004-05 as per Sectoral Allocation of Planning Department. Therefore, an 

additional fund of Rs.49.00 lakhs is required immediately during 2004-05 without which 

the Plan Schemes will not be able to implement successfully. 

2. Details of the Schemes 

1) Direction & Administration: 

The requirement of fund under the scheme Direction & Administration is Rs.87.60 

lakhs at the minimum for maintenance of the existing staff as well as for Office Expenses, 

Travelling Expenses etc. towards Administrative Costs as a part of development scheme 

during the Annual Plan 2004-05. 

Under Direction & Administration, the expenditure already incurred towards Salary, 

O.E., T.E., etc. till 30 th November 2004 is Rs.59.32 lakhs and committed liability for the 

remaining period of 2004-05 is Rs.28.28 lakhs. Therefore, the actual requirement of fund 

under Direction & Administration is Rs.87.60 lakhs wherein the additional requirement of 

fund is Rs.13.20 lakhs. 

The outlay which could be allotted within the Sectoral Allocation of Planning 

Department, i.e., Rs.82.00 lakhs for Direction & Administration is only Rs.74.40 lakhs 

against the actual requirement of Rs.87.60 lakhs during 2004-05 as per details shown

INLAND FISHERIES 

2) Fish Seed Production-cum-Farming: 

In order to meet the fish seed demand in the State, 7 nos. of Fish Seed Farms have 

been constructed at Lengpui, Tamdil, Thenzawl, Zawlnuam, Ngengpui, Zobawk and 

Saikhawthlir under the Non-Lapsable Pool of Resources. Therefore, until and unless these 

fish seed farms are put into operation and produce fish seeds, it will have no impact. 

Hence, it is required to maintain these farms under Annual Plan 2004-05 to produce 

sufficient fish seeds to cater the demand of local of local farmers. It requires sufficient 

start-up fund towards cost of inputs, wages nets & gears, machineries and equipments etc. 

as per details shown below for production of fish seeds in these farms. Detail Estimate 

showing maintenance costs / operational costs of Fish Seed Farms is also enclosed in 

Annexure ‘A’. It is targeted to produce around 60 lakhs of fish seeds during 2004-05 in the 

aforesaid Departmental Fish Seed Farms if the fund requirement is provided by the 

Government properly, viz., a minimum of Rs.15.50 lakhs will be required for maintenance 

costs of above fish seed farms. However, an allotment of Rs.2.00 lakhs only is approved in 

the Annual Plan 2004-05.

3) Fresh Water Aquaculture: 

The strategy in the Annual Plan 2004-05 is to boost up the fish flesh production in 

the culture sector by bringing around 250 hectares of additional water area under Fresh 

Water Aquaculture Scheme through Baffacos and Fish Farmers Development Agency (CSS). 

As already mentioned earlier in the Background under Chapter-I, the Government 

of India has already sanctioned an amount of Rs.37.50 lakhs as Central Share (75% of total 

cost of scheme) under the Fish Farmers Development Agency (CSS) for the year 2004-05 

for development of Fresh Water Aquaculture (see Annexure ‘B’) against which a State 

Matching Share of Rs.12.50 lakhs (25%) has to be provided in the Annual Plan 2004-05 so 

as to enable to utilise the Central Share of Rs. 37.50 lakhs for renovation and improvement 

of fish ponds in the private sector for fish production. 

However, due to restriction in the fund allocation for Annual Plan 2004-05, i.e., total 

outlay of Rs. 182.00 lakhs only for implementation of all the ongoing Plan Schemes, there is 

no scope for providing the aforesaid State Matching Share of Rs.12.50 lakhs separately un 

the Plan Budget. Therefore, it is approved to provide the State Matching Share of Rs.12.50 

lakhs for Fish Farmers Development Agency (CSS) under Baffacos allocation during Annual 

Plan 2004-05 if the Government of Mizoram agrees the proposal, viz., (i) Rs.87.50 lakhs for 

Baffacos for construction of new ponds / renovation of existing ponds and training of 

beneficiaries (fish farmers) and (ii) Rs.12.50 lakhs as State Matching Share for Fish Farmers 

Development Agency (CSS) against Government of India’s Share of Rs.37.50 lakhs which is 

already sanctioned for renovation of fish ponds in the culture sector. 

Detail Action Plan on Baffacos for 2004-05 has already been submitted separately 

to the Planning Department, Government of Mizoram. Details of the Scheme, Fresh Water 

Aquaculture for Annual Plan 2004-05 is shown below: —

4) Development of Riverine Fisheries: 

Conservation and protection of Riverine Fisheries is quite essential to enhance the 

fish yield from the rivers, etc. (capture sector). The Department has taken up ranching 

programme in the rivers by stocking fish seeds to propagate the riverine stock. More 

efforts are required to study and survey the major riverine systems towards conservation 

of economic species declaration of sanctuaries, etc. The Mizoram Fisheries Acts and Rules 

are also under consideration at the Government level for implementation. 

During Annual Plan 2004-05, it is required to provide fund for conservation and 

exploitation of riverine fisheries, viz. — purchase of Nets & Gears and Machineries & 

Equipments for which the fund requirement is Rs. 0.50 lakh at the minimum for 2004-05. 

However, due to fund restriction, only Rs. 0.10 lakh could be provided in the Annual Plan 

2004-05 as per details shown below: —

fish farmers in the State with the objective to enhance fish production through various 

activities, viz. — (a) Publication of magazines, pamphlets, radio talks, advertisements; (b) 

Training of fish farmers; (c) Organisation of workshop; (d) Practical demonstrations in the 

field level as well as in the Departmental Fish Farms, etc. The impact is that the per hectare 

production to table size fish in the State has been augmented to @ 1800 kg with the 

Extension & Training activities from the normal rate of 12 kg/ha.

- 59 - 


During the current year, the Department has also committed to organise fish 

farmers training inside the State as well as conduct fish farmers training as an awareness 

programme required under Baffacos and also farmers are proposing for farmers tour 

outside the State to see progress in Fisheries of other States for which the requirement of 

fund is Rs.2.00 lakhs. There is also a proposal for Central Sponsored Scheme under 

Extension & Training in which the Government of India’s share is in the tune of Rs.3.60 

lakhs (80% of total cost of the scheme) as per details shown below. Hence, a State Matching 

Share of Rs.0.90 lakh is required to avail the Central Assistance of Rs.3.60 lakhs. Besides 

the above, the Department has also committed to publish Fisheries Magazine and to 

prepare a Documentary Film on Fisheries during the current year for dissemination of 

fisheries technology through mass media and awareness programme for which an 

additional fund of Rs.3.77 lakhs will be required during 2004-05. There is also a 

committed liability of Rs.0.50 lakh against Advertisement Bills which is required to be

6) Marketing: 

Under the Scheme, 3 Ice Plants and 2 Cold Storages are maintained at Bawngkawn, 

Kolasib and Bilkhawthlir. These marketing assets have been functioning quite well during the 

last two years (2000-01 and 2001-02) and have already produced around 400 M.T. of Ice Blocks 

so far since its inception (2001-02). Now it needs some minor repairing works required to run 

well again. The assets are providing the requirement of Ice Blocks and Cold Storages at 50% 

subsidy to the fish farmers and fish sellers in Aizawl, Bilkhawthlir, etc. for marketing of local 

marketing of local fresh fishes in the State to great extent. Therefore, maintenance of these Ice 

Plants and Cold Storages are necessary. However, due to constraint of Plan Fund, the 

Department has not been able to clear off the pending bills during 2004-05 for the maintenance 

of aforesaid Plants and the committed liabilities are shown as per details given below: — 

(1) The maintenance of Cold Storages-cum-Ice Plants at Bawngkawn and Kolasib was 

taken up by the Contractor for a period of 2 years (November 2001 to October 

2003) as per the Agreement of the Government for which the total bill is Rs.21.12 

lakhs out of which Rs.8.15 lakhs is not yet paid to the Contractor till today. Also, 

failure of payment of above dues may entail Court Case as the matter has already 

appealed by the Contractor to the Department. Since an outlay of Rs.3.00 lakhs 

could not be allotted for Marketing Scheme during 2004-05 due to Plan Fund 

restriction, the committed liability of Rs.8.15 lakhs has to be provided as additional 

fund during 2004-05 for clearance of dues as mentioned above. 

(2) Besides, there are other committed liabilities amounting to Rs.5.58 lakhs, viz. 

Power & Electricity bills (Rs.1.36 lakhs) repairing cost of Kolasib and Bawngkawn 

Ice Plant-cum-Cold Storage Units (Rs.2.59 lakhs), etc. and maintenance cost for 

the remaining period of 2004-05 including repairing of Ice Canning Tins of 

Bilkhawthlir Ice Plant, etc. (Rs.2.57 lakhs). 

Therefore, altogether the additional fund requirement under Marketing Scheme 

during Annual Plan 2004-05 against committed liabilities is Rs.13.30 lakhs. 

Details of the Scheme showing the Annual Plan Outlay of Rs.2.00 lakhs during 

2004-05 which has been restricted within the Plan Fund allocation is Rs.3.00 lakhs as

ENVIRONMENT & FOREST DEPARTMENT 

FORESTRY & WILDLIFE 

1. BACKGROUND AND STRATEGY : 

Mizoram State with hilly terrain and primarily agricultural economy is inhabited by 

tribal population. Soil and Water are two important resources on which growth and 

productivity of agricultural economy depends. Forests play important role in production 

and conservation of soil and water. Forests also provide many important day-today needs 

of local population such as fuel, fodder, timber, food in form of wild fruits and vegetables 

and other non-wood forests produce. Forests play a vital role in environment stability, 

ecological balance and over all economic development of the state like Mizoram 

undoubtedly revolves around the Forests. 

National Forest Policy 1988 stipulate that hilly and mountainous regions like 

Mizoram need to maintain at least 2/3 of the total geographical area under tree cover in 

order to prevent soil erosion, land degradation and protection of the fragile eco-system. As 

against this goal, at present notified forests (reserved/protected forests) constitute about 

38% of the geographical area and even most of these are open, degraded and subjected to 

pressure of shifting cultivation, forest fire and other forms of biotic pressures. 

Shifting cultivation is still widely practised in Mizoram. These practices not only 

affect ecology of the area but also decrease natural regeneration of tree species to a 

considerable extent. The destruction of habitat of plants and animals has not only led to 

the reduction in population of wild animals in the forest, but also rendering many species 

of rare plants and animals to the extent of becoming endangered/extinction. 

The survey demarcation, mapping and settlement of land including forest lands is 

a pre-requisite for evolving proper integrated land use system. This task is yet to be 

completed in the state. Hence for proper control and scientific management of forests on a 

sustainable basis, consolidation of notified forests/reserved forests will be necessary. 

The productivity of forests is already very low in Mizoram. There has been very 

little silvicultural research to evolve technologies and practices suiting to local conditions 

to increase productivity. Destruction of forests by illicit fellings and removal of forest 

produce to meet domestic need of Timber and Firewood, besides, forest fire, 

encroachments and grazing are common. Protection of forests from such detrimental 

factors is inevitable for ecological and environmental security. 

There is a wide gap between supplies from existing forests and the ever increasing 

demands. Hence to increase production of timber and non-timber forest produce to meet 

local needs and to reduce the gap between demands and the supply, undertaking massive 

afforestation programme through plantation of utility tree species and aided natural 

regeneration would be necessary. Plantations created earlier need periodic tendings for 

managing the forest to scientifically achieve maximum biomass and non-timber forest 

produce from the forests. To meet increasing demand of forest produce and at the same 

time reduce pressure on existing shrinking forest resources, extension of tree cover 

beyond conventional forest areas would be necessary. For this purpose, tree growing and 

protecting forests with active involvement and participation of private individuals need to 

be promoted on massive scale through proper extension programmes to cope up with the 

increased work programme. 

North-East India is considered to be a mega-bio-diversity region. Wildlife is an 

important resource which plays vital role in ensuring ecological stability. In recent years 

poaching of animals for the purpose of earning money has become a big challenge to the 

Forest Department is Protection capabilities in terms of mobility, equipments and trained 

manpower to keep this undesirable activity under proper check.

- 67 - 


To cope up with the increased work programmes, and to ensure better 

preservation, and management of forests and wildlife for sustainable use of forest 

resources strengthening of forest organisation with respect to manpower and human 

resource development through training is necessary. Equipments technology and facilities 

are also extremely necessary.

4. FOREST CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT 

(i) FOREST PROTECTION 

Forest is a biological entity and a renewable subject to damages from 

various factors, namely, fire encroachment, illicit cutting/removal of forest 

produce, faulty land use practices (Shifting Cultivation), etc. These factors are 

prevalent in the State with the significant extent thereby degrading and depleting 

the forest resources much to the detriment to its fragile ecology, environmental

- 70 - 


stability and ecological balance, which ultimately reduce the productivity of land. 

With the increasing population of both human and livestock and demand for wood 

and other forest produce which is far beyond the sustainable supplies of the 

shrinking forest cover, protection of forest is becoming more challenging. 

Protection of forest from Forest Fire is very important in the context of Mizoram. 

The approved financial outlay for meeting the salary / allowances of staff (67 nos.) 

and other establishment cost during 2004–2005 are given below: —

5. AFFORESTATION 

There is a wide gap between demand and supplies of wood from the 

existing Forests. It is necessary to augment wood resources by undertaking 

plantation programme over wasteland and degraded areas. At present, all the 

Afforestation works under State Plan are executed through Centrally Sponsored 

Scheme of “Area Oriented Fuel Wood and Fodder Plantation Project” on 50:50 

Matching Share basis. It is approved to keep an outlay of Rs.8.02 lakhs as State

6. DEVELOPMENT OF MINOR FOREST PRODUCES ( BAFFACOS): 

Bamboo Action Plan (2004 – 05) 

The Action Plan to combat gregarious flowering of Bamboo is envisaged to prepare 

the people especially in the rural areas to tide over the likely socio-economic problems and 

comprises of the following main components such as infrastructure development, bamboo 

extraction & enumeration, rodent control, regeneration of flowered areas through farm 

sector and Departmental bamboo plantations and research aspects. 

The detailed Action Plan for the current year (2004-05) is as below : 

(1) Raising of Bamboo seedlings for planting during 2005-06 : 

Immediately following mass seedling, all bamboo stands will die. In areas 

undisturbed by biotic interference (grazing, fire etc.), there will be profuse regeneration, 

which will require a minimum of 4-5 years to mature. To tide over the lean period, 

bamboo plantation of desired species will have to be undertaken. Species such as 

Bambusa bambos, Dendrocalamus hamiltonii, D.strictus, etc will be raised from seeds. 

Rhizome cuttings of B.tulda, D. longispathus will also be raised. Tissue cultured plants of 

D.gigateus and B balcoa will also be obtained. 

Tissue culture being a highly specialized activity, component firms and laboratories 

of national repute will be invited for their rates (For Aizawl).

- 71 - 


To facilitate planting of seedlings with the first onset of Monsoon in the following 

year (2005-06), a provision of preliminary works that will include site preparation, survey 

and demarcation of the planting site has been kept in addition to seedling preparation. 

(2) Infrastructure Development: 

(2.1) Construction of bamboo extraction/link road: A huge growing stock of bamboo is 

located in area accessible neither by road nor by river. However, the bamboo can be 

harvested and transported to the main road by constructing makeshift semipermanent 

roads and through ropeway trolleys. 

(2.2) Establishment of bamboo collection centres: There are four major outlets in the 

State for transportation and sale of bamboo. Kanhmun is located in the northwestern 

border having feeder extraction channel by Langkaih river and Serhmun – 

Kanhmun road. Bairabi lies at the confluence of Tlawng, Teirei and Tut rivers. It is 

also connected by roads from Kolasib and has a major link with the border district of 

Cachar in the State of Assam through railroad. Vairengte is another outlet along the 

national highway NH 54. Another important outlet is located near the Tuirial Hydro 

Power Plant along Tuirial river. Likewise, a common centre can be established at 

Tlabung on the river Kolodyne to facilitate export of Muli bamboo to Bangladesh. 

It is imperative that bamboo collection centres be established at these locations so 

as to maintain control and check on the movement of Bamboo outside the State. 

Bamboo depots have to be developed and established for stocking and sale and 

booms will be constructed at suitable locations along the major rivers. Besides 

some staff quarters and checkgates will also be constructed at suitable locations to 

regulate and monitor movement of bamboo. 

(2.3) Facilitating Extraction : Demarcation of annual coupes and enumeration of all Muli 

bamboo areas will be done to facilitate extraction on scientific lines. 

(3) Public Awareness Campaign: Past experiences have shown that gregarious 

flowering of bamboo has always been accompanied by tremendous increase in rat 

population. The rodent not only feed on bamboo, but also invades the paddy fields and 

granaries resulting in disastrous famines. At that situation, chaos reign supreme among 

the rural areas. People fight for survival alone and almost all other development activity is 

stalled. Mass awareness campaign on preventive3 measures has to be imparted on a 

massive scale. It is proposed to take up publication of books, pamphlets, brochures, etc., 

for distribution. Awareness campaign such as public meetings, house-to-house campaign 

etc., could be taken up though overheads. 

(4) Benefits to the people: Forestry works is highly labour intensive. It has been 

estimated that about 70% of the works goes towards component in the form of wages. 

Therefore, from this year’s outlay also, a substantial amount will go towards wage 

employment thereby benefiting the rural people. 

The benefit will increase during next year, when both advance work and planting 

will be taken up. 

WORK PROGRAMME FOR 2004 – 05 : 

A. Nursery - Rs. 125.00 lakh 

B. Infrastructure requirement for 

extraction of bamboo - Rs. 65.00 lakh 

C. Extraction costs - Rs. 3.00 lakh

7. FOREST UTILISATION 

The object of the scheme is to provide for marking, removal of dead / dying 

/ fallen/ thinning trees from plantation areas or from areas diverted for nonforestry 

purposes (development projects). Also in compliance with Hon’ble 

Supreme Court directions, the Department take up Timber Operation for meeting 

the local needs besides executing the works of regeneration in those areas where 

timber harvesting are done. In this regard, an Administrative Approval for 

Rs.248.54 lakhs was already conveyed by the Government of Mizoram, out of which 

Rs.53.93 lakhs was spent during the year 2002–2003. However, due to the financial 

constraint, the Department could allocate only an amount of Rs.4.16 lakhs during 

the year 2004–2005.

approved by the Cabinet Committee on Economic affairs. The main components of the 

Scheme are : 

A. Forest Fire Control and management 

B. Infrastructure Development which has two sub components as 

(i) Working Plan Preparation/survey demarcation 

(ii) Strengthening of Infrastructure for Forest Protection. 

During the year 2003-04 under CSS – Integrated Forest Protection Scheme (IFP) for 

Mizoram, the Govt. of India has sanctioned and released Rs. 357.04 lakh to this 

department on 75:25 % cost sharing basis. Due to fund paucity the department could 

contribute only Rs. 49.76 lakhs as the state share against Rs. 87.26 lakh. Accordingly, the 

department is a defaulting department with a pending liability to the tune of Rs. 37.50 

lakh. 

During the 2004-05, the funding pattern has been changed as 90:10% and the Govt. 

of India has sanctioned an amount of Rs. 472.86 lakh out of which the state Govt. share

COOPERATION 

The main theme of today Cooperative Movement is a people movement. In the 

changed scenario of National Policy in India with the policy of economic liberation of 

Trades and Industrial Policy and infusion of New Technology in most of the Industrial and

2) Quality Control: The need of Quality control has no deep root in the mind of 

producers in Mizoram. For this reason, the Agricultural Produces in Mizoram are regarded 

as inferior in quality. As such the producer cannot fetch better prices from their produces 

due to lack of Quality Control. Some of the producers may think Quality Control is meant 

for the consumers only, but this is not so. Quality Control is also beneficial to the 

producers and consumers both. Thus it is necessary to educate and motivate the 

producers in respect of Quality Control. 

A sum of Rs. 1.00 lakh is approved for imparting awareness of Quality Control.

SINLUNG HILLS DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL (SHDC) 

SINLUNG HILLS DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL 

STORY OF SHDC 

1. The Hmar People’s Convention [HPC] Party started their Political movement for the 

creation of Hmar Autonomous District Council in 1986. Since, the Govt. of Mizoram did 

not give satisfactory response to the cause. The HPC Party called a non-violence peaceful 

bandh in March 1981. In protest against the first bandh, the State Govt. started violence and 

blood shedding on the HPC people that HPC volunteers were forced to underground. As a 

result, Arms confrontation between the Govt. of Mizoram and HPC started on 16.7.1989. 

As such escalation of violence between the two took place for quite sometime. Finally at the 

kind initiative of the then Governor of Mizoram His Excellency, Mr. Swaraj Kausal 

negotiation has implemented and Memorandum of Settlement between the Government of 

Mizoram and HPC Party was sign on 27.7.1994. 

2. As per para 5.4 of the Memorandum of Settlement [MOS] thereof, the SHDC has 

been constituted since 1997. The main objective of the accord is to give adequate autonomy 

to the SHDC, as per para 3 of the MOS. 

3. Para 5.4 of the Memorandum of Settlement states that separate fund will be 

earmarked for schemes which may be specified for implementation within the area of the 

council. As per para 5.4 of the MOS and as per our proposal of even no. dated 31.1.2005 a 

provision of Rs. 90.00 lakhs had been allocated and approved by the Planning Department 

vide their letter no.G.28014/93/2004-05/SPB dt. 8.2.2005. But as per their sectoral 

Allocation of outlays for the Annual Plan 2004-05 [vide No.G.28014/55/SPB dt. 10.2.2005] 

This budget has reduced to Rs. 89.00 lakhs which shall be utilised as under 

1 Salary Rs. 2.34 lakhs 

2. Wages Rs. 5.00 lakhs 

3. Travelling expenses Rs. 2.00 lakhs 

4. Office expenses Rs. 20.00 lakhs 

5. Rent Rs. 1.00 lakh 

6. Publication Rs. 0.25 lakh 

7. Minor works Rs. 39.66 lakhs 

8. Other charges Rs. 19.75 lakhs 

TOTAL Rs. 90.00 lakhs 

[a] Salary: The increase in the salary head by 0.09 lakhs is due to inclusion of 

allowances for chairman and members of the council as well as insufficiency of normal 

plant Budget. 

[b] Minor Works: This office is executing various construction works like Waiting 

Shed, Inter Village Path, Step, Suspension Bridge, Water Point and improvement of internal 

road within the area of Sinlung Hills Development Council. Some construction works [at 

annexure –II] were completed and payment had been made from the normal Plan Budget. 

Therefore, increase in the minor head by at least Rs. 16.66 lakhs is necessary for completion 

of the said works and clearance of the unpaid bills.

SINLUNG HILLS DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL (SHDC) 

[c] Other Charges: The Sinlung Hills Development Council is catering rehabilitation 

of HPV/ MAIDA returnees and Political Victims of HPC Movement. Rs. 17.50 lakhs is 

earmark for the normal plan budget. But is not sufficient for the rehabilitation. This head of 

account is also use for discretionary fund of Hon’ble Chairman. As the normal plan Budget 

could not meet the requirement during the year, it is necessary to increase by at least 

Rs.2.25 lakhs only.

MEDIUM IRRIGATION & FLOOD CONTROL (PWD) 

MEDIUM IRRIGATION & FLOOD CONTROL 

Mizoram is having a hilly topography. Shifting cultivation is the main method of 

cultivation of food grains and vegetables. The method causes vast destruction of natural 

resources in the form of deforestation and heavy soil erosion. However, at a few scattered 

pockets in plain areas of major river banks, wet rice cultivation is also carried out. 

The scope of Medium Irrigation in Mizoram is therefore very limited, but protection 

of riverbanks from overflowing to the existing cultivable plain is very much required. 

Since, Irrigation Department exists in Mizoram, it is, therefore, approved to take up this 

work with a provision of only Rs. 1.00 lakh during 2004-2005. 

DIRECTION AND ADMINISTRATION: 

No provision is made for Direction and Administration during 2004-2005 under 

this Head of Accounts. 

MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT: 

WORKS: 

No provision is kept for Machinery and Equipment during 2004-2005. 

Rs. 1.00 lakh is kept under this Head of Account during 2004-2005 for bank 

protection of R. Teirei under Mamit Division.

8. Renovation and Modernization of Hydel Stations in Mizoram: 

1) To enable the existing Small Hydel Stations in tip-top condition to give 

optimum generation, Rs.50.00 lakhs is provided in the Annual Plan 2004-2005 

as mentioned below: 

2) Tuipui SHP = Rs.20.00 lakhs 

3) Serlui 'A' MHP = Rs.30.00 lakhs 

4) Vâwra Lui = Rs. 2.65 lakhs 

Total = Rs.52.65 lakhs

Schemes: There are 4(four) Transmission lines and 6(six) Sub-Stations on-going 

projects taken up by the department since the year 2000.These projects were 

administratively approved due to which the projects could be neither dropped nor 

stopped. Unfortunately fund could not be provided from State Normal Plan fund to 

continue the works during 2004 – 05. 

12. Functional Building: The Department requires more functional buildings for 

operation and maintenance of the existing assets. But due to shortage of fund, to 

meet minimum requirement, Rs. 27.35 lakhs is made available during 2004 – 05. 

13. CONCLUSION: 

Annual Plan 2004-2005 is framed based on approved outlay by the Government of 

Mizoram. Further, due to same pattern of funding as that of 2003-2004 the normal 

assistance (non-earmarked) become very meagre. This, inadequate fund under nonearmarked 

sector does not permit continuation of schemes which have been 

started under non-earmarked sector. Therefore all these works/schemes under 

non-earmarked sector are being standstill until and unless sufficient nonearmarked 

fund could be provided. It is, therefore, requested to provide nonearmarked 

fund as stated above in order to continue or complete the schemes 

which were already committed by State Government.

INTRODUCTION 

Perfumes and flavours have been known to mankind since time immemorial, 

Sandalwood, Comphor, etc. have been mentioned in VEDAS. In the beginning natural 

Aromatic Essential Oil & Oleoresins were used in perfumery. Demand for natural Aromatic 

Essential Oil is increasing rapidly, the world over with increasing population and growing 

awareness. 

(i) POGOSTEMON-PATCHOULI (ii) GERANIUM (iii) PALMORASA (iv) VERTIVERT 

(khus) (v) CYMBOPOGON-JWARANCUSA (kush bon) (vi) GINGER GRASS (vii) MINT 

(viii) CITRONELLIA (ix) LEMON GRASS (x) LEVENDAR etc. are the Romantic 

Plants/Herbs containing Essential Oil. 

AGRO-CLIMATIC & SOIL : 

Agro-climatic condition, rainfall, meteorological condition, soil & water condition of 

Mizoram is suitable for development of cultivation & distillation of oil from (i) 

POGOSTEMON-PATCHAOULI (ii) GERANUIM (iii) PALMORAOSA (iv) VETIVERT (khus) (v) 

CYMBOPOGON-JWARANCUSA (kush bob) (vi) GINGER GRASS (vii) MINT (viii) CITRONELLA 

(ix) LEMON GRASS (x) LEVENDAR and cultivation and processing of Edible best variety of 

European white button MUSHROOM etc. as multiple crops. 

TECHNOLOGY : 

Regional Research Laboratory (RRL) CSIR Jorhat, Assam, India have Designed & 

developed the Technology & Economics of the Projects. Regional Research Laboratory 

(RRL) Jorhat, is the Technical consultant for the Project who will arrange tie-up for

GLOBAL MARKET DEMAND : 

Presently, India is importing 1500 – 2000 tonnes of Aromatic Essential Oil from 

France and European Countries etc. Consumption of PATCHAOULI OIL alone, in the world 

is about 2000-5000 tones per annum. U.S.A., alone, import about 580-680 tones of 

Patchouli Oil annually from Indonesia. India consumes about 300-500 tines of patchouli oil 

per annum. But India hardly produces 30 tones per year, the rest quantity is imported 

from Indonesia. 

Similarly present market demand for Geranuim Oil, in India requires more than 160 

tones annually. But India is producing only about 10 tones, which is negligible in regards 

to domestic requirement. The bulk of Geranium Oil is being imported from China, 

Germany, Japan etc. Similarly there is high market demand in the country as well as world 

for CITRONELLA OIL, LEMON GRASS OIL, CYMBOPOGON-JWARANCUSA (kush Bob) OIL, 

LAVENDAR OIL and VETIVERT OIL etc. 

The essential Oil has an upward demand in the Global market. The world demand 

is larger and production is limited. Observing the market demand for Aromatic Essential 

Oil within country and the world, it is proposed to developed for cultivation of Aromatic 

Essential Oil bearing plant/herbs and Oil distillation Plants (Processing Factory), and best 

varieties of European white button MUSHROOM cultivation and processing as Pilot Projects 

for Socio-economic development of rural areas of Mizoram. 

The project will be implemented through Self Help Group (SHF) of peoples in 

potential villages to encourage the people for socio-economic development in the rural 

area as family oriented scheme and to earn REVENUE for a State Government of Mizoram. 

HARVESTING, ROTATION PERIOD & OIL DISTILLATION : 

Essential Oil bearing plants/herbs can harvest & Oil can distill after 90 days of 

planting subsequently 4-5 harvests per year. The same plant/herbs will be surviving for 3 

years. Rotation period is 3 years. The people will be starting earning money just after 3 

months onwards of planting. After 3 years re-plantation practice can be adopted in the 

same plot of plant.

Name of the Scheme : Development of Bamboo Based Industries : 

(Budget Head : 2851 – Village & Small Industries, 800(01) –Dev. of Bamboo Industry) 

The State Government, in its endeavour to tap the economic potential of vast 

bamboo resources available in the state, has placed bamboo as a thrust sector which is 

reflected in the Industrial Policy of Mizoram 2000 and separate Bamboo Policy of Mizoram 

2002 has also been announced. 

The importance and prospects of bamboo has also been now clearly felt by NEC 

and Government of India. NEC has now also currently approved National Mission on 

Bamboo Technology and Trade Development.

- 154 - 


The total requirement on bamboo development especially on utilization aspect is 

so high and as such, the major projects involving huge expenditure are being taken up 

from other sources and the practice may be continued. However, certain expenditure 

which cannot be met from earmarked project funds are to be met from State Plan as 

below: 

1. Grant of Bamboo Development Agency : 

Bamboo Development Agency has been established by State Government for 

effective implementation of bamboo utilization activities. The Agency is now entrusted 

with the task of forming and running M/s Venus Bamboo Products (P) Limited (A joint 

Venture Company), Development of Bamboo Concrete Technology, Construction of 

Bamboo Demonstration Houses, Bamboo Shoot Preservation by Vacuum Packing, 

Hardening Units for Tissue Cultured Plants etc., besides project proposal awaiting sanction 

within a short period. 

Hence, an amount of Rs.7.00 lakh is approved as Grant to Bamboo Development 

Agency for establishment etc. 

2. Other Expense on Bamboo : 

Even though Bamboo Development Agency has been established and entrusted with 

many projects, there is a need to carry on mechanism for monitoring from the Department 

in view of bamboo becoming a thrust area for not only the State of Mizoram but for NEC 

and Government of India. 

Hence, an amount of Rs.1.00 lakh is approved for miscellaneous expenditure for 

the Department of Industries. 

With the coming flowering of Bamboo, a scheme of Bamboo Flowering and Famine 

Combat Scheme (BAFFACOS) is approved to be implemented on war-footing and hence a 

provision is earmarked separately so as to utilize the existing Bamboo resources before 

they flower and extinct. 

It is, therefore, approved to give grant-in-aid to the Bamboo Development Agency 

during 2004-05 as follows: -

Name of the Scheme : Zoram Industrial Development Corporation Ltd. (ZIDCO) 


Zoram Industrial Development Corporation Ltd. (ZIDCO) was set up in 1978 having 

twin functions of Industries Development and Finance. However, its activities are more or 

less limited to Industrial financing. 

The Main sources of funds are: 

1) Share Capital 

2) Loan/Refinance from IDBI/SIDBI & NMDFC 

3) Recovery of loans 

4) Interest on saving A/C 

As there is very little chance of survival from giving loans, ZIDCO is taking steps to 

undertake development projects and fortunately the Govt. of Mizoram has recently 

appointed ZIDCO as an implementing agency for IIDC, Pukpui. 

In view of the above few points, the Govt. of Mizoram is expected to kindly allot 

Share Capital Contribution to ZIDCO to meet at least 50% of the Annual Pay & Allowances 

which stands at Rs.90.00 lakhs approximately (i.e. Rs. 45.00 lakhs per year) and Rs.20.00 

lakhs per year for IIDC, Pukpui as shown below: 

Fund requirement for IIDC, Pukpui is to be met from the concerned Scheme i.e.

SERICULTURE DEPARTMENT 

SERICULTURE 

Introduction: 

Sericulture is an industry ideally suited to countries in the tropical belt where 

unemployment continues to be a serious problem. By its situation, climatic condition, 

fertility of soil and distribution of rain, Mizoram is proved to be an ideal place for the 

development of Sericulture Industry. 

Sericulture practices can rightly fit into Socio-economic structure of the rural area 

and play significant role for reconstruction of rural economy benefiting mostly the weaker 

section of the society. The most important consideration is the effective utilisation of 

family manpower, particularly the aged, handicapped, illiterate and women folk. 

It has also been said to be the most important tool in bridging the gap between the 

rich class and the poor section of the society, distributing wealth among the farmers, 

reelers, twisters, weavers and traders. The major share goes to the poor farmers followed 

by traders, weavers and twisters / reelers. 

Sericulture is successfully practised as a viable rural industry as it gives 

remunerative employment to family labour throughout the year and ensures periodic 

income even from small land-holding and low financial investment. It has a ready market 

and is export-oriented industry. 

In spite of all the aforesaid advantages, the growth of Sericulture Industry in 

Mizoram is rather slow and the reasons attributed to this are lack of infrastructural 

facilities, paucity of fund, insufficiency of field staff and lack of sense of responsibility 

amongst the workers, even then the production of silkworm seed, cocoons and silk 

products in the recent past has been found to be satisfactory and encouraging. 

During the Tenth Plan period (2002-07) and in the first two years of the Tenth Plan 

(2002-04), Sericulture Department will intensify its Plan and Implementation Programme 

towards production of Bivoltine Mulberry Silk and also Eri and Muga Sectors shall be given 

importance simultaneously. To meet these ends, maximum quantity of high yielding 

Mulberry variety, som / soalu and kesseru / castor shall be introduced in the private 

sectors. In the meantime seed granages, rearing and post cocoon technologies shall be 

upgraded / improved as far as practicable. 

Various Catalytic Programmes under Silk Board are implemented during the Tenth 

Plan period, which continues during 2004-05 also along with the Normal Plan Schemes.

- 159 - 


THE SCHEMES 

There are seven ongoing schemes implemented by the Department during the 

Ninth Plan period and these schemes shall continue to be implemented in the Tenth Plan 

period also as 2002-03 the base year. The same Schemes shall continue even during 2004- 

05. One new Scheme called as Baffacos is approved to be implemented during 2004-05 as a 

preparatory to combat the impending famine caused by Bamboo Flowering. 

Priority shall be given to the following work sectors during 2004-05: 

1) During 2003-04, 1630 acres have been covered with new Mulberry Plantation as

improved variety of mulberry during 2004-05. 

2) One Staff quarter is proposed to be constructed at Sericulture Complex, Chaltlang 

and the existing buildings at different farms shall be renovated / repaired as per 

availability of fund. 

3) Silk reeling Factory shall be improved as far as possible in order to produce quality 

Raw Silk Meanwhile the Silk weaving Unit shall either be improved or kept in 

abeyance as economic measure.

Since a separate marketing cell has not yet been created, the marketing activity is 

directly controlled by the Directorate through the District Officers. Generally, marketing 

activities should not come within the purview of the Department in case there exists 

Master Reelers and Weavers in the private sector in the State. In the absence of Reelers and 

Weavers in the State, the marketing activities are bound to be looked after by the 

Department alone. In this circumstance, the Department is compelled to continue to 

purchase cocoons produced by the farmers and reel them in the reeling factory for 

producing raw silk. 

With a view to improve the system of purchase of cocoons, the Department has 

fixed five cocoon-purchasing centres at Aizawl, Serchhip, Champhai, Kolasib and Lunglei. 

The cocoons purchased at these centres will be brought to the reeling factory, Zemabawk 

for conversion into silk yarn.

Scheme No. V : Research & Training 

As already mentioned in the aforesaid Para, Sericulture Industry is an Agro-based 

which requires wide range of scientific technologies with different financial investments. 

Therefore, proper studies of Silkworm Metamorphose, Pathology, Agronomy, Aboriculture 

and Ecology are indispensable to make Sericulture Industry flourish economically viable. 

The success of Sericulture Industry largely depends on the availability of required 

scientific knowledge and its application in the field at the right time and at the right place. 

This can be achieved through realisation of the importance of Research and 

Training activities based on well-organised scientific lines, equipped with the most 

advanced scientific instruments to evolve new concepts of scientific methodology for 

application to field activities with minimum financial investment.

- 163 - 


At this end, the Department of Sericulture had established one Research and 

Training Institute at Zemabawk with the following objectives — 

1. To depute B.Sc. graduates for training in Post Graduate Diploma in Sericulture to 

various Sericulture Institutes in India. 

2. To impart training to Matriculates for one year Certificate Course Training. 

3. To impart short-term training to the in-service personnel and the private farmers. 

4. To conduct study tours for trainees from time to time. 

5. To conduct mobile training to farmers of far-flung areas. During 2004-05, it is 

approved to train 500 farmers and 50 in-service persons.

Scheme No. VI : Silk Processing 

The main theme of sericulture Industry is to make earnings through sales of 

various sericulture products to individuals, societies in the State. 

Unless the cocoons so produced are processed to produce raw silk and silk fabrics, 

Sericulture activities are said to be incomplete. The cocoons produced are subjected to 

various Post Cocoon Technologies in order to produce quality raw silk and silk goods for 

sale in the market. 

The cocoon processing comprises of selection of quality cocoons, stifling, cooking, 

degumming, reeling/spinning, twisting, weaving and so on. Cocoon processing required 

highly skilled hands in order to produce quality raw silk and silk fabrics to catch viable 

markets. 

At this objective, the Sericulture Department is having one Reeling Factory at 

Zemabawk. Apart from producing raw silk and silk fabrics these units have also been 

producing silk quilts in abundance, which has marketing potential everywhere in the

- 164 - 


country. Since the production of reeling cocoons is increasing year after year, it has 

become a necessity to have one more reeling machine like the existing ones. Under this 

scheme there is one silk weaving and dyeing unit at Aizawl where silk fabrics of various 

designs are produced. 

Therefore, the main aim of this scheme is to create and encourage private reelers/ 

weavers so as sustain their livelihood through sales of their products. 

However, to make the department capable of increasing the revenue through Sales 

of Sericultural products, the reeling factory has to be strengthened by providing necessary 

infrastructures.

Scheme No. VII : Seed Organization 

Common occurrence of crop failure is exclusively attributed to bad quality of 

silkworm seeds. Therefore production of quality seed is a vital aspect for the success of 

Sericulture Industry. Quality seed may be defined as seed which is completely free from 

diseases. 

The whole gamut of seed production comprises of seed organisation for systematic 

and methodical multiplication of basic seed and industrial seed on scientific line and its 

proper and efficient management of breeders’ stock and its multiplication for the ultimate 

production of Industrial hybrid seed. Seed production involved in maintenance of 

breeders’ stock, basic seed and industrial seed and maintaining the purity, its vigour and 

vitality. 

Although three District phases for seed production are involved in systematic seed 

organisation in normal case, the seed organisation designed to be operative in Mizoram 

consists of a simple three-tier system, namely, (a) Basic Seed Centre, (b) Multiplication 

Centre and (c) Industrial Grainage. 

The Basic Seed Centre, Rangvamual is acting as Breeders’ Stock which will produce 

only pure bred silkworm races of not less than four varieties. The seeds produced are then 

distributed equally to the selected Multiplication Centres. 

The distinctive characteristic of the Kultiplication Centres in seed organization in 

Mizoram is that they only produce quality seed cocoons whereas in other states they are 

producing seed cocoons and silkworm seeds [eggs]. The seed cocoons produced by these 

centres are then brought to the Industrial Grainage, Zemabawk for production of hybrid 

eggs to feed the private farmers. 

Maintenance of all the Multiplications Centres like Vairengte, Kolasib, Serchhip, 

Thenzawl, Baktawng, Lunglei, Champhai, Phullen, Rangvamual and Zemabawk will 

henceforth be looked after under this scheme.

- 165 - 


Depending on the actual requirement of hybrid seeds in the States, the industrial 

Grainage is expected to produce as much seeds as possible from season to season.

Scheme No. VIII : Scheme for Bamboo Flowering & Famine Combat Scheme for the year 

2004-05 

Considering the potential of using Sericulture as a tool to wean away devastating 

Jhum Cultivation together with the role it plays towards reconstruction of rural economy 

in the State and after realising the success of various schemes implemented during the 8 th 

and 9 th Plan period, the State Level Committee on preparation for impending gregarious 

Bamboo Flowering in 2006-07 has selected / included Sericulture Department as one of the 

items / trades to effectively combat with the possible occurrence of catastrophic famine 

due to sudden and large scale destruction of paddy crop by rodents. 

Accordingly, a new scheme called ‘Bamboo Flowering and Famine Combat Scheme’ 

has been prepared for the benefit of 150 farmers in the rural areas who would be affected 

by the famine. The scheme will provide assistance to the selected beneficiaries for 

cultivation of mulberry farms which will include land development cost, raising of 

plantation, construction of rearing houses and supply of rearing equipment, etc. Each 

beneficiary will have a land of 1 hectare area where mulberry plants will be cultivated. 

The main objective of the Scheme is to let the farmer earn his livelihood through 

sale of Silk Cocoons which will not be hampered by the famine caused by the bamboo 

flowering or rapid and multiple increase of rodents. 

The broad objectives of the Scheme are: — 

To combat the possible catastrophic famine due to bamboo flowering. 

To enhance annual Mulberry Silk Production. 

Creating awareness among the rural populace particularly women folk about silk 

activities and its potential to remove poverty. 

To bring technology upgradation among the user groups through training and 

input support for taking up cocoon and silk production activities. 

Identify thrust areas, and bridge the gaps for comprehensive development of 

Mulberry Culture in Mizoram during the 10 th Plan period.

Beneficiaries in the target areas would be motivated to adopt mulberry silk 

activities to enhance their income for sustenance of livelihood. 

The beneficiaries would be guided and assisted for raising of Mulberry Plantation at 

minimum of 1 hectare per farmer and taking Mulberry Silkworm Rearing in a viable 

manner by giving stress on quality and productivity of cocoons for better returns. 

Efforts would be made to develop self-reliance among the beneficiaries and ensure 

management by local initiatives thereby reducing extent of dependence on 

Government Agencies. 

The Scheme envisaged to assist individual farmers for raising of mulberry 

plantation, construction of rearing houses and supply of rearing equipments. 

Imparting training to farmers and officials on different technical aspects.

Detailed Description of the Components: 

(1) Assistance to Commercial Rearer: 

Under the component, it is proposed to assist the individual commercial rearer by 

raising 150 ha. of systematic mulberry plantation at 3’×3’ spacing @ 1 ha. by each rearer. A 

minimum unit area of 1.00 ha., per commercial rearer will be raised by accommodating 

10,000 plants/ha. The Directorate of Sericulture, Government of Mizoram will supply the 

required 10,000 cuttings. Each beneficiary will be assisted with Land Development cost of 

Rs. 12,700/- and Plantation Development cost of Rs. 23,460/-. Besides, rearing appliances, 

disinfectants and silkworm seed cost worth Rs. 21,850/- will be provided to conduct 

silkworm rearing. The Directorate of Sericulture, Mizoram would arrange 2,000 dfls/year @ 

400 dfls/crop per beneficiary (per 1.00 ha. plantation) from Government Seed Production 

Centres against payment @ Rs. 2.00 per dfls. 

(2) Development of Plantation: 

The low bush type systematic plantation will be initially raised at 3’×3’ spacing 

adopting the package of practices recommended by Central Silk Board. The Plantation 

raised with nearly 8-12 months old cuttings will be ready for harvesting of leaves for 

feeding to silkworm. The rearing capacity of the plantation will be 2,000 dfls per 1.00 ha. 

in third year onwards. 

Once the Plantation is settled, the commercial rearer may uproot one alternate row 

after 3 years of plantation and the plantation may be maintained as low tree type 

plantation with a canopy height at 6 feet above the ground level to avoid grazing and 

regular maintenance problems.

- 167 - 


(3) Assistance for Rearing House facility: 

Unlike other variety of silkworms, Mulberry Silkworm is more sensitive to climatic 

variations and food quality. Their rearing and culture requires more hygienic conditions 

and minimum variations in temperature and humidity. Most of the rearer in Mizoram are 

not having separate rearing house for conducting rearing of silkworm. By and large, 

rearers in Mizoram are conducting silkworm rearing in their dwelling house. 

Therefore, the project envisaged to assist all the selected beneficiaries for 

construction of low cost rearing house worth Rs. 20,000/- to each rearer. The assistance 

will be Rs. 10,000/- each, i.e., 50% of the estimated cost. 

(4) Beneficiaries Training Programme: 

Since Bivoltine Sericulture is new to the farmers of Mizoram State and needs lots of 

care during the rearing, all the 160 commercial rearers covered under the Scheme will be 

extended training for a period of one month on raising a plantation, maintenance and 

silkworm rearing. Necessary provision has been earmarked for hiring training hall, 

accommodation, TA/DA, contingencies, honorarium for trainers, etc. A lumpsum of 

Rs.500/- per farmer has been earmarked. 

(5) Location of the Scheme: 

Aizawl, Champhai, Serchhip & Lunglei Districts. The total number of beneficiaries is 

150 nos. and each of the beneficiary has to undertake 1 hectare Mulberry Cultivation.

TRANSPORT DEPARTMENT 

ROAD TRANSPORT 

Due to lack of other means of transport facilities, Road Transport continues to be 

the main means of transport in Mizoram. The increasing industrial and commercial 

activities and the remarkable growing of population have led to heavy demand on better 

Road Transport system in Mizoram. To cope with the demand, a good transport 

infrastructure is essential for all round development of the State and for easy movement 

from one place to another at a minimum rate of fare. Further, for the interest of the 

public, Transport Department inevitably have to render services to remote places where 

private Buses could not render services even with no profit and no gain. 

Besides, the construction of Inter-State Bus Terminus has been started at Chaltlang 

Workshop; hence, the latter has to be shifted to Central Workshop at South Hlimen 

necessitating upgradation of Central Workshop during this Annual Plan 2004-05. 

The Annual Plan 2004-05, therefore, envisages for providing upgradation of Central 

workshop, and for promoting security, the profession of an efficient, adequate, economical 

and properly coordinated system of Road Transport services in the State. These schemes 

have been made for inclusion within the limited outlay of Rs. 400.00 lakhs for the Annual 

Plan 2004-2005.

INLAND WATER TRANSPORT (PWD) 

INLAND WATER TRANSPORT 

Due to the absence of good navigable waterways in Mizoram, less work is 

undertaken under Inland Water Transport. Presently, there is hardly any Inland Water 

Transport in use. This may be partly attributed to the discharge of rivers in Mizoram 

which varies very widely. During rainy season, the discharge of water become very high 

carrying large quantities of debris, logs, boulders, etc. making navigation difficult whereas 

during dry period, water level is low and the debris, etc. deposited during rainy season 

becomes obstructions. 

The road network in Mizoram is such that in remote and interior areas, roads have 

to cross rivers. Bridges could not be constructed due to fund constraints. Marboats and 

Country boats have to be utilised for carrying vehicles and men across the rivers. 

Therefore, the fund provided under this Head is approved to be utilised for 

improving river crossing facilities. Rs. 5.00 lakhs is provided under this Head of Accounts 

during the Annual Plan 2004-05. 

DIRECTION & ADMINISTRATION 

No provision is made for Direction & Administration during 2004-05 under this 

Head of Accounts. 

MACHINERY & EQUIPMENT 

WORKS 

No provision is kept for Machinery & Equipment during 2004-05. 

The following works will be taken up during 2004-05 under this Head of Accounts: 

i) Improvement of Ferry and Marboat at Tuipui on Lawngtlai – Saiha Feeder roads: 

Rs. 2.00 lakhs is provided during 2004-05 for improvement of existing Marboat at 

R.Tuipui. 

ii) Improvement of Ferry and Marboat at Bairabi: 

Rs. 3.00 lakhs is provided during 2004-05 for improvement of existing Marboat at 

Biarabi.

MOTOR VEHICLE WING 


The Motor Vehicle Wing under Transport Department functions with its 

subordinate offices at District headquarters enforcing MV Acts and Rules and also looks 

after all matters relating to State Transport Authority. 

As a result of the enormously increasing vehicle population in the State, its duties 

and responsibilities have considerably increased. Therefore, to cope with the future 

expansion, it is felt necessary to upgrade its standard with modern technology such as 

introduction of I.T. with computerisation and installation of Smart Card, strengthening and 

widening its functions. 

Further, creation of new Districts by the State Government automatically led to the 

need for opening of DTO’s Offices to each headquarters. Therefore, new DTO’s offices 

such as Champhai, Kolasib and Serchhip were opened and are functioning with no fullfledged 

establishment. Thus, creation of posts will automatically be needed as the existing 

position is inadequate for proper running of the newly opened offices. Thus, keeping in 

view the need for creation of posts and upgradation of standard, the Annual Plan 

Approved Outlay for M.V. Wing for the year 2004-05 comes to Rs. 77.00 lakhs. 

The following are the schemes approved to be taken up during the Annual Plan 

2004-2005.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SCHEME 

1. CONSTRUCTION OF MINOR ROADS: 

The programmed is to maintain approach road to Dumping Grounds and also for 

approach to Departmental areas etc. and Rs. 1.00 lakh is approved for 2004 – 2005.

- 342 - 


2. CONSTRUCTION OF PARKS: 

Busy and unrest lives in the congested Towns and Cities are in need of some 

recreation places, where people could enjoy their leisure time. Without such places, lives in 

Towns and Cities could be frustrated and vain. During the 9 th Plan, 2(two) such 

recreational places were constructed, one at Aizawl called Public Recreational Centres and 

the other at Lunglei called District Park Zobawk. Within an expenditure of Rs. 60.00 lakhs, 

many works have been done with very useful achievements. But there are many scopes of 

further improvement and the two places are again proposed to be continued in the 10 th 

Plan as continuing schemes. Apart from this, the Department is starting establishment of 

Recreation Centre & Public Park at Kolasib, Lengpui, Lawibual, Lunglei and Rulchawm. 

Fund amounting to Rs. 100.00 lakhs is approved for the 10 th Plan and Rs. 20.00 lakhs is 

approved for 2004–2005 to continue the schemes. 

3. CONSTRUCTIONS OF STEPS/RETAINING WALLS: 

Towns in Mizoram are situated on spur of Hills which steep down to the gorges of 

streams below between the spurs. Roads and residential lines go on the spurs in 

horizontal lines. The only possible vertical link between the adjacent rows could be 

provided by construction of public foot steps just like staircases in multi-stories buildings. 

Due to irregular topography each and every spur in the Towns requires a number of foot 

steps. During the 9 th Plan Rs. 275.00 lakhs was utilised for construction of 3,98,400 

running metres of public steps at may places in the various Towns. Still much has to be 

done and the scheme is approved to be continued in the 10th Plan as new schemes in view 

of the fact that every item of works shall be taken up as new works. Rs. 950.00 lakhs is 

approved for the 10 th Plan for target of 1,07,670 running metres Rs. 111.00 lakhs is 

approved for 2004–2005. The allocation is for distribution to District Headquarters as 

necessary. 

4. DUMPING GROUND: 

The existing two dumping grounds in Aizawl City are in need of 

Improvement. Similarly, Dumping Ground in other towns viz. — Lunglei, Champhai and 

Kolasib are in need of expansion and improvement. A need has been felt to construct 

another dumping ground in the other direction route in order that town garbage could be 

disposed off all through the seasons. For this purpose, Rs. 80.00 lakhs is approved for the 

10 th Plan Rs. 5.00 lakhs is approved for 2004–2005. The main work shall be road 

construction for some distance from the main road, digging of dumping pits, construction 

of dumping platform as well as protection walls and vehicle turning points, etc. 

5. MONSOON DAMAGE SCHEME: 

Damage caused to roads, lanes, houses, properties and even lives due to heavy rains 

during rainy season are almost annual phenomenon in Mizoram. Here annual rainfall is 

mostly 250cm to 350cm, and the approximate intensity of rainfall is 70m per hour. Due to 

steep topography, the concentration flow of rain water is short and rapid. The very high peak 

flow of rain water causes landslides, thereby damaging roads, lanes, houses and properties. 

Hence restoration and repair works have to be taken up every year. A need is there to set 

apart certain outlay for such purposes as Monsoon damage fund. The approved outlay for the 

10 th Plan 2002-2007 is Rs. 300.00 lakhs. Rs. 55.00 lakhs is approved for 2004–05. 

6. RCC FOOTPATH/PEDESTRIAN PAVEMENT: 

Rs. 20.00 lakhs is earmarked for the construction and also for the maintenance of 

the existing Pedestrian pavements for the year 2004 – 2005.

- 343 - 


7. HIGH MAST LIGHTING: 

No earmarked for the year 2004 – 2005. 

8. FLY-OVER BRIDGE: 


9. OFFICE BUILDING: 

During the 9 th Plan, two District Level Offices were constructed in Aizawl and it is 

badly required the expansion of the size as well as activities of the department. There is an 

urgent need of extending the Directorate Office, the Circle Officers at Champhai, Kolasib 

and the DLAO Office at Aizawl and Lunglei. It is, therefore, approved to be provided 

Rs.70.00 lakhs during the 10 th Plan for Office building. During 2004–2005, Rs. 14.00 lakhs 

is provided for the vertical extension of DLAO Office Building and also for the 

maintenances of other existing office Buildings. 

10. SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT: 


11. GARBAGE TRUCK TERMINAL: 


12. CLEANLINESS / BEAUTIFICATION OF CITY: 

Cleanliness Drive has been carried out in Mizoram since 1977 without break. 

Awareness campaign as well as physical works of cleanliness have been done every year. 

The local authorities, the NGOs, the Church leaders and the students of various levels have 

been involved in such important drives. It has long been felt necessary to make plan 

provision for such kind of important public activities. Besides this, the Department is 

intending to take steps towards beautification of Aizawl City for the 10 th Plan. Rs.80.00 lakhs 

is approved, Rs.12.00 lakhs is approved for implementation of the programme like 

observance of cleanliness week and also for the beautification of Aizawl City during 2004–05. 

13. SANITATION: 

The term Sanitation is hereby used to express the problems of garbage in the towns 

with clearance and disposal there of with all the required devices such as man powers, 

vehicles and other implements, maintenance of dumping grounds, public urinals and many 

other urban problems of the like nature. A separate establishment to deal with this kind 

of problems has been set up in Aizawl mostly paid and run from Non-Plan provisions. A 

need has long been felt to expand the Sanitation establishment by creating few more posts 

like the Joint Director (Sanitation) field staff including Sweepers. The reason is that the 

problems are numerous and the existing level of the one Sanitation Officer, two Assistant 

Sanitation Officers and Supporting Offices Staff and Field Staff could not cope with the 

problems. It is approved to take up this expansion scheme in the plan site during the 10 th 

Plan. A need is also felt to open new Sanitation Establishments in Lunglei, Champhai and 

Kolasib. However, the details of the requirement for the expansion is shown against point 

No.16-Direction & Administrations. Exclusively for management of collection and disposal 

of garbage, daily cleaning of important public places, public urinals, etc. Rs. 200.00 lakhs 

is approved for the 10 th Plan. Recently collection of garbage two times a day was 

introduced at Aizawl and for which Rs. 44.00 lakhs is earmarked for maintenance and 

keep up of garbage trucks and other expenditures to run the sanitation function at Aizawl 

and other District Headquarters.

Rs.128.00 lakhs per year. It is expected to receive more grants every year and the approved 

matching share is slightly higher for during the 10 th Plan than those during the 9 th Plan 

period. Hence, Rs. 80.00 lakhs is approved during 2004–2005. 

16. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENT OF URBAN SLUM: 

Although any part or portion of towns in Mizoram has not been identified a Slum 

area, yet any parts there of, mostly in the lower reaches, are obviously in the condition of 

slums. Link road is a problem, scarcity of drinking water is there, electricity is a problem 

and above all drainage problems have assumed proportion that is more serious. With 

rapid urbanisation during the last 20 years, the towns are rapidly expanding and the larger 

parts of the towns now occupy the lower reaches of the hill slopes where drainage 

problems are very serious due to uncontrolled flow of storm water. In short, cluster of 

dwelling houses are without basic amenities. For the 10 th Plan, Rs. 175.00 lakhs is 

proposed for EIUS. During 2004–2005, Rs. 28.00 lakhs is approved for this scheme.

A. SCHEME-WISE DESCRIPTION OF 2217 [REVENUE] 

1. LAND PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT : 

i) Preparation of Action Plan (Project): As State fund is meagre for development of 

revenue generating schemes in urban and semi-urban areas, it is absolutely 

necessary to avail more and more Central Assistance under IDSMT which, however, 

necessitates preparation of Action Plan (Projects) to be approved by the Govt. of 

India. Preparation of Action Plan (Projects) within approved Master Plan involve 

extensive field surveys, collection of data, preparation of detail plan & estimate, 

maps, drawings, printing of plan documents etc. Therefore, a provision of Rs. 1.50 

lakh is earmarked for preparation of Action Plans (Project) of Sairang and 

Vairengte.

also constituted Town Planning & Development Committee for 9 towns to erect

- 355 - 


boundaries pillars of Master plan areas demarcation of land designated for various 

purposes, construction of trace path, Layout Plan preparation for Implementation 

of Master Plan Schemes. The Committee has resolved that all the Master Plans 

must be implemented immediately so as to develop infrastructure in urban areas 

as planned manner. However, a token provision of Rs. 2.00 lakh only is earmarked 

for implementation of Aizawl Master Plan during 2004 - 2005. 

Besides, Rs. 0.50 lakh is earmarked for said purpose for implementation of 

Hnahthial Master Plan Schemes as planned manner. 

2. MACHINERY & EQUIPMENT INCLUDING INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY: 

The rapid Urbanisation process in Mizoram coupled with tremendous urban 

problem necessitated Modern Equipments and Scientific Instruments like Computers, 

Optical Pantograph, etc. The Optical Pantograph is urgently required for reduction or 

enlargement of topographical maps prepared by Survey of India. Hence, to augment the 

technical capabilities of officer and staffs of the office purchase of above stated machines

earmarked for purchase of those instruments and maintenance of existing instruments. 

DIRECTION & ADMINISTRATION (D & A) 

i) Entertainment of Existing Staff & Creation of New Post Salary, etc. : 

In dealing with the Urban Planning and Management and creation of essential 

infrastructure like Market Buildings, Car Parkings, Bus/Truck Terminals etc. at the State 

capital, District Headquarters and some other growing towns under Centrally Sponsored 

Scheme of IDSMT the Town & Country Planning wing is over burdened with workload. 

Besides there are 9 Nos. of Master Plan which has been approved by the Govt. of 

Mizoram. The Master Plan of Aizawl, Champhai, Kolasib, Thenzawl, etc. are 

published in the Government Gazette which need immediate implementation. It is, 

therefore, necessary to strengthen existing Town & Country Planning 

administration for the Implementation of the said approved Master Plans Schemes. 

The Govt. of Mizoram has realised the need for relevant Act and Rules for dealing 

with urban problems in the state of Mizoram. Hence the Mizoram Urban & 

Regional Development Act 1990 amended in 1996 & 2004 and Rules 1998 have 

been enacted by the Mizoram Legislative Assembly for regulating, promoting and 

controlling undesirable land development and building construction activities in 

the urban centres. It is, therefore, absolutely necessary to strengthen Town & 

Country Planning administration by creation of additional technical posts to deal 

with the problems of human settlements in the state of Mizoram. 

In addition, the Govt. of Mizoram has availed Central Assistant under Non-lapsable 

Central Pool of Resources amounting to Rs. 15 crores for construction of Market 

building at various towns in Mizoram. This work is being executed by Sr. Town & 

Country Planner’s Office. As there is an acute shortage of technical man-power in 

the Town & Country Planning Wing creation of additional technical post is 

absolutely necessary for implementation of this project. 

Further, Mizoram is the most urbanised state in India. There are a lot of problems 

in the urban areas which need to solve systematically. In spite of this there is no 

Town & Country Planning Directorate in the state to deal with Urban Planning & 

Development. It is, therefore, absolutely necessary to upgrade the existing Town & 

Country Planning Wing into Directorate of Town & Country Planning to take up pre-

- 356 - 


disaster mitigation and prevention to meet the challenges arising out of natural 

calamities like earthquakes, cyclone, etc. 

Hence, Rs. 29.10 lakh is earmarked for entertainment of existing staff and for 

creation of new posts during 2004 - 2005. 

ii) Wages: Due to ban on creation of post the Town & Country Planning Wing is facing 

tremendous problem both in fields and offices thereby resulting delay in execution 

of Master Plan preparation and execution of Project works. So, a sum of Rs. 0.70 

lakh is earmarked for engagement of existing Master Roll employees like LDC / 

Typist etc. for the year 2004 - 2005. 

iii) Travelling Expense (T.E.): Apart from the on-going works under NLCPR and IDSMT 

Programmes, the office is bound to conduct physical survey, socio-economic survey 

etc. of various towns of the state for Master Plan preparation. A provision of 

Rs.1.80 lakhs, 0.50 lakhs for Lunglei & Rs. 1.30 lakhs for Aizawl is earmarked 

during 2004-2005 to meet the travelling Expenses for supervision of works under 

NLPF and IDSMT which are scattered throughout the state and also for survey of 

towns and Growth centres. 

iv) Office Expense (O.E.): A token Provision of Rs. 8.43 lakh, of which Rs. 6.43 lakhs 

for Aizawl Hqrs. & Rs. 2.00 lakh for Lunglei Town & Country Planning Sub-Division 

is earmarked to meet expenditure for stationery, furniture and other miscellaneous 

during 2004 - 2005. 

v) Rent/Office Accommodation : Since the office has no building of its own, private 

building is occupied for office on rent. Therefore, to meet the expenditure of rent 

for the whole year (2004 - 2005) a sum of Rs. 2.00 lakh for Aizawl only is 

earmarked. 

vi) Maintenance of Vehicle (M.V.): Projects undertaken by the office are located far 

from Headquarters and that good condition of Vehicle is absolutely necessary for 

supervision of Planning, Development and Construction of Works. Therefore, a 

provision of Rs. 6.00 lakh of which Rs. 5.00 lakh for Aizawl Headquarters & Rs.1.00 

lakh for Lunglei Town & Country Planning Sub-Division for the year 2004 - 2005. 

vii) Workshop / Seminar / Stipend : As per National Norms, One town needs 4 (four) 

qualified Town Planners, whereas, there are only 4 (four) numbers of qualified 

Town Planners in the State to deal with planning and development Control & 

management of 22 towns. Therefore, to send students to various technical 

Institutes outside Mizoram and also to educate public and organise 

Workshop/Seminar, a sum of Rs. 0.30 lakh is earmarked for the year 2004 - 2005. 

viii) Other charges (OC): A provision of Rs. 1.20 lakh is earmarked for other 

expenditure of which Rs. 1.00 lakh for Aizawl and Rs. 0.20 lakh for Lunglei. 

B. 4217 - IDSMT MATCHING SHARE (CAPITAL SECTION) TO C.S.S.: In order to 

create Urban infrastructures and to strengthen the economic base of Towns and to 

generate employment opportunities, Integrated Action Plans (Projects) have been prepared 

and approved by the Govt. of India, out of 22 Census towns, 9 (Nine) priority towns have 

been approved and executed under Centrally Sponsored Schemes for which State matching 

contribution is required to be provided. The required amount of matching State share 

cannot be met in one financial year due to shortage of fund which necessitates provision 

of state share in a phase manner. During 2004 - 2005, a provision of Rs. 58.47 lakhs is 

earmarked for state contribution for the approved Action Plans (Projects).

INFORMATION & PUBLIC RELATIONS DEPARTMENT 

INFORMATION & PUBLIC RELATIONS 

Introduction: 

With the ushering in of an era of Peace in Mizoram, the role of Information & Public 

Relations has shifter from propaganda missing to publicity for Public education of the 

various developmental schemes of the Government an added important role which is 

known as Public Relations has to be taken up in order that public confidence may be 

earned so that all the developmental schemes and plans may be translated into peoples 

movement. 

The Department is functioning with a Directorate at the Headquarters and Districts 

and Sub-Divisions in their respective areas. There as 6 (six) Rural Information Centres in 

the whole State manned by Technicians Grade III who function in the Centres in rented 

houses. With the rapid progress of development in various fields, it is felt inadequate to 

remit the functioning of the Department from these 6 (six) Rural Centres only as the 

majority of the people in the interior are deprived of their rights to information. 

With the advancement of Technology it is indispensable for the Department to 

equipped itself with modern techniques of communication such as Television, Video, 

Radio, Computers and all kinds of electronic media in order that the people of the State 

may be exposed to the rest of the country and vice-versa thus cementing National 

Integration to bring the people closer to the mainstream of National life. Cultural and 

Social Exchanges with other States must also be carried out. 

Therefore, the following items are approved to be taken up during this year and 

Rs.175.00 lakhs is approved for 2004-2005.

2. PRODUCTION OF FILMS: During the 9 th Five Year Plan we produced a few 

documentary video films mainly for telecast over Doordarshan, New Delhi. Since it has not 

been possible for Doordarshan to make sufficient coverage on Mizoram, it has become 

necessary for the Government to produce a true image of Mizoram an its people so that 

the Mizos will be known to the rest of the country in a correct perspective and thereby 

removing misinformation about Mizoram and its people. The local transmission-cumproduction 

centre of Doordarshan which came up recently is expected to open up more 

opportunities to participate in this powerful media. In addition to this the Department 

produce Mizoram Today, a video monthly news capsules which is included in the local 

programme of cable T.V. Networks. To intensify production and improve standard and 

quality better equipments and technical know-how are required. Also we will continue Live

For these purposes Rs. 5.00 lakhs is approved for 2004-2005.

evils it has become necessary to intensify public exhibition of films shows to educate the 

mass of people. For procurement and purchase of films on National Integration, Family

Rs.5.00 lakh is approved during the year 2004-2005.

year 2004-2005.

bringing democracy at the grassroots level, it is necessary that field publicity is 

strengthened in all Districts, Sub-Division and wherever we have Information Centres, 

maximum mobility is necessary to reach the people at the grassroots level. For the 

functioning and maintenance of above, Rs. 16.00 lakh is approved during the year 2004-05.

introduces a National Policy for Social Assistance to poor households. The

Rs.100/- p.m. per head in the previous years. Those beneficiaries under the State 

Plan are now transferred to N.O.A.P.S. due to paucity of fund under State Plan. As 

the rate of Govt. of India (i.e. Rs.75/- p.m. per head) is short of Rs.25/- p.m. per 

head, it was felt necessary to enhance the rate by Rs.25/- p.m. per head so as to 

bring the rate to Rs.100/- p.m. per head as was given to the beneficiaries under the 

State Plan during 2001-2002. To meet the requirement for 10525 beneficiaries @ 

Rs.100/- p.m. per head, Rs.126.30 lakhs is approved during 2004-2005.

benefit and it is approved to continue the Scheme during 2004-2005. 57 persons

6. There are three Training Halls with seating capacity of 30 trainees in 2 Halls each 

and one is computer Training Hall with seating capacity of 15 trainees. Due to 

shortage of accommodation Refreshment Room cannot be provided to the trainees 

during refreshment hour. During 2004-05, this Institute proposes to conduct 35 

different training courses including Specific to State Category Programme. The
