| Prospects And Potentialities Of Economic Development In Bhogdoi River Basin, Assam, India | | Sahitya Jyoti Das | | Abstract : | | Water as resource is the abode of prosperity. Paradise itself has been imagined to
be a place where water is plenty and river basins are the economically most
prosperous region of the habitable portion of the world. Bhogdoi River is the
southern sub-tributary of Brahmaputra though it was an active tributary of
Brahmaputra in recent past. Bhogdoi River flows through the heart of the city
Jorhat, the last capital town of the Ahom Kingdom. Down the ages, the Jorhat city
is a successful thriving modern city with a lot of commercial and economic
development. Further, the river flows through the Malow Pathar, the 'rice-bowl' of
the region. The region is prosperous in tea cultivation, pisciculture, handloom and
textile, sericulture etc. Moreover Jorhat, the cultural centre of Assam, today is
witness to a lot of tourists due to its innate beauty and its resilient effect. Although
the inhabitants of the region seem to be concerned for rapid economic progress but
the pace of development is not come up to the level of satisfaction at the need of the
time. | | Show Full Text : |  | | Facility : |   | |
