Introduction
Before 1990 40% of the people 0f this area were involved in Agriculture and Animal
husbandry for their income.Now most of the people are involed in paddy cultivation during the rainy
season. This area has low water availability, infertile soils and irregular Rain fall. So these factors
discourage the culitivators.
In 1990, this area was affected by ethnic war & that coursed continuous displacement to
India. Even now the people of this area are not resettled completely in their native places. In
addition, water reservoirs & channels are damaged & filled with soil. Due to this soil erosion may
occur. But now resettlement is carried out by the Government & Non Government organizations in
some parts. At the same time some N.G.Os & Government sectors also reconstruct and repair the
water reservoirs (Ponds) with channels to improve agriculture sector.
