opportunities to learn, to develop skills, find employment and contribute for

business viable and competitive. Everyone
will benefit from a Government that is truly for the people, transparent and
efficient in its functioning. The sports facility in the district would be
developed so that the talents can be identified early and promoted.
Transforming
political governance :
Most critical to the implementation of Vision 2006, the district administration
will need to transform itself for playing a radically different role. The
district administration will change the role to facilitator and catalyst for
overall development.
Marching towards Vision 2006:
In
implementation of Vision 2006, the focus will be on making rapid progress in the
areas identified as growth engines. For infrastructure
development, there will be focus on new terminal at Mohanbari airport,
setting up an inter-state bus terminal and improving the railway station at
Dibrugarh. The government would be requested to start the work of bridge over
Brahamputra in Bogibil. The important roads would be repaired and the pitch road
would be made where ever possible. The damaged bridges would be repaired. The
agricultural marketing sheds would be made at strategic places. The industrial
park would be set up in Tengaghat, for which the proposal for 100 bighas approx.
has been given to the government.
In
the area of town planning, the Dibrugarh town would be developed as the cleanest
and most beautiful town. The bus stand would be shifted outside the town. The
town roads would be widened and traffic would be streamlined. There would be
fixed parking places for the private vehicles, three wheelers and rickshaws. The
main town would be kept neat and clean. There would be dustbins for garbage
collection and disposal. The drain of the town would be cleaned . There would be
provisions for street lighting in main road as well as bylanes for which the
local people would be involved. The parks would be made at Dibrugarh town as
well as other towns in the district. There would be a bypass for
National
Highway
at
Dibrugarh town. In health care, all
the PHCs and CHCs would be repaired and made functional. There would be
regular attendance of doctors. Essential medicines would be available in
government stores. The
construction and expansion work at
Assam
Medical
College
would
be taken up under non-lapsable pool of central fund. There would be regular
medical camps and free check-ups especially at the remote areas so that the
poor and needy would get benifitted. The district would be made free of
Tuberculosis . In education areas, building the capabilities of our people will be an
equally critical task. Therefore, the administration will concentrate
in primary education and basic healthcare . There will be stress on
vocational education, and private investors will be encouraged to set up skill
building institutions in the district. There would be focus on developing the
infrastructure in the schools, for which the resource would be generated at the
local level. The teachers would be attending the schools regularly and would
focus on impartin quality . As a result the performance of the students at the
board exams as well as competitive exams will reach a new high. The proposed
ITI institute would come up within 2006 at Borboruah.
The district will be self sufficient in next five years in the field of
poultry,horticulture, dairy and agriculture
In agriculture, the focus will be in strengthening the pather parichalana
samities bringing more areas under multiple cropping, improving irrigation,
proper use of cultivable waste land and
increased
use of fertilizers. There would be attempt to promote industries for processing,
storage and marketing. There would be attempt to set up Air- conditioned
warehouses. The administration will make arrangements so that agricultural
credit for poor and marginal farmers are easily available. The district at
present is not sufficient in poultry, fisheries and dairy.
However, in next five years, it will not only be self sufficient in these
areas but will also explore market outside the areas and export the products. In
Irrigation , Command area management in irrigated areas, watershed management in
unirrigated areas and catchment area management in the catchments of major river
systems will all be developed such that there is increase in the foodgrains upto
the potential.
In
Small
and Village Industries, next to
agriculture, the small and village industries sector provides the major avenue
of employment in rural and semi-urban areas. The administration should pay
detailed attention to (a) the supply of raw material in adequate quantity and of
proper quality, (b) design improvement on the basis of analysis of preferences
of consumers both in the home and foreign markets, (c) skill upgradation, (d)
energy supply and (e) producer-oriented marketing. This sector in particular
will provide opportunities for group self-employment and for home employment for
women and will hence be vital for improving' the income of families without land
and/or livestock assets.
The
administration would try to bring the hub of the software technology park in Dibrugarh so that this area can make
sufficient progress in Information Technology. In tourism, Dibrugarh will focus on its strength which are its
connectivity with the state and country by rail and air ; rainforest in Joypur,
Jokai reserve forest in Dibrugarh, a huge stretch of riverfront , its proximity
to Sibsagar and Kaziranga, and its position as gateway to upper Assam and
Eastern Arunachal Pradesh. The administration will also develop the required
infrastructure like rest houses and tourist lodges at various places for this
purpose. Similarly, mini
tourist resorts will be set up in the natural spots of villages and on the
roadside forest areas.
The district administration dedicates
itself for the fulfillment of the goals mentioned in the vision document.
