hi

yes we can think of our valley. Earlier every body used to ignore our valley because of poor infrastructure but now lot's of development work is going on.

Pradhan mantri sharok joyona will link kashmir to kanyakumari and silchar to porbander.... and our broad graze line will too complete within 3 to 4 years...

...so why can't we think of our valley...

there will be lot's of opportunity but one needs to tape it

hope for the best!

Hi Nilima,

A lot of things can be done for the development of Barak Valley. Some few points i like to share

Road infrastructure has to be good specially the city roads, Communication link has to be improved although Silchar has got a modern BSNL hub with modern equipments but good technical people are required to operate them - good to hear that BSNL mobile Services are going to start in a short span of time.

Rail transportation has to be improved(present days rail journey from Silchar to Guwahati takes more time then when i used to visit Silchar by Meter Gauage Train).

A lot of input is required from the present young generation like us, they have to come out of Silchar for jobs because other than Central/State Government & few private Sector jobs their are no jobs available. Still it will take years for the Corporate World to setup offices in the North Eastern States.

Corruption in local offices has to be removed. Raising awarness among the people of Silchar for the cause of development.

Lets start our thought process by discussing in the forum.

From Vadodara - Gujarat,

Arindam

One way to develop Barak Valley is to pull it closer to New Delhi !!!
Well thts the hope and who knows me may end up with atleast closer to Guwahati.
So, dear BARAK BASEE try out some physical exercises. May be we need some 50-80 Gyms in Barak Valley. We may also hire the geneous of Manupuri ladies coz they r doing well at weight lifting.
And at last but not the least...............we have the wonderful lady like Miss/Mrs Nilima Das.
So, don worry guys ........... the day is not very far when we'll walk down to delhi ..........(no matter whether Tarun Gogoi shows green signal to Air Sahara or not for opening services at Silchar.)

One of the main drawbacks of Barak valley is the pathetic conditions of roads.So the first step should be to develop the roads so that trade and business could be easier.And most importantly it will reduce the rate of accidents. Another thing on which we should give emphasis is the consciousness of the public, until and unless Barak basis are concerned enough for their wellbeing the development of BarakValley will remain a dream.

well, as far as condition of roads is concerned, its no denying the fact that its really terrible. but the Silchar - Sourastra project that has been undertaken shows some sort of hope to see a highway of new look in the New Silchar area.
though its a hope against hope that it doesn't get delayed and delayed and delayed.........

to develop a particuar region ............ infrastructural development is a must. A good communication comes under that. So, roads must develop in order to bring the development. But I dont understand why someone is only concerned abt the New Silchar road...a good 4 lane road in just New Silchar wont help this place to develop industrialy. But the East-West corridor is surely going to solve the problem. Also that cachar district has very recently been included under the industrial planning by the Govt. of India. Tht'll also certainly invite more investors in the region.
So far as replacement of any particular politician is concerned , i dont find any eligible person who can fill the place...........

My Friend,

You want suggestions as to how Barak Valley can be developed? In what planet are you from?

Have you seen the front portion of Rana Deb’s house? And the road condition in front? Here is an Ex-Central Minister, a MP, son of a MP, Ex-Chairman of Municipality, husband of current Chairperson of the Municipality and titles goes on and on……………!

If he and his family can live in that gutter called Tarapur and claims to be the leader & god of all the Selleti Bengalis, why then you and I who are just like Maka, Puti, and Darkina should even think of developing Barak Valley?

All these current so-called politicians in Cachar are nothing but a cancer to each one of us. Have you heard that, “Whoever goes to Lanka becomes the Ravana”? These power hungry, money hungry, self-serving politicians must be disarmed from their places and society then only lwe can think of development of Barak Valley and Silchar.

As you know truth always hurts and my hope is that you too will feel it.

Yours,
Hagatali

Dear Hagatali,

If anybody have said any real truth about this topic, it is you. My friends and I congratulates you.

We have seen in past few decades how Rana Babu and his relatives plus his all Chela and Chamundas have grab the prominent part of properties in Silchar town for their own benefits. And the dumb Silcharites were just the onlookers.

One can not serve the country and his comminutes if he/she is a greedy person. To developed Barak Valley we have to elect some one who is truly educated (only a postgraduate degree holder) and have no properties and businesses.

After elected if we find out that he/she is making money for him/her or for his/her relatives or friends then we should get hold of him/her, bring him to DSA (stadium) remove all his/her clothes and rub Chutra Pata all over for three days & let me him/her go. Every body in Barak Valley should be invited free of charge to be eyewitness of this occasion. And then we elect another postgraduate degree holder in the place of this cheat.

That is the only way you can get things done for Barak Valley. Do we know that 82% of all the villages in Barak Valley still do not have pure drinking water, proper electricity, pacca road, drainage, medical facilities and good educational establishments?

But most of the villages have source for Country & Foreign Liqueur, prostitutes and gambling centers. Why? Because it is people like Rana Babu and others.

When the time of election comes, these corrupt politicians and their Chamundas comes to our roads and say “Ami Aie Korachi, Sei Korachi” and then we the voters should say “Tumi Amader Bal Chi-Ray-Cho.” This is why; we the people do not have pure drinking water, proper electricity, pacca road, drainage, medical facilities, good educational establishments in Barak Valley.

Once again thank you Hagatali for being courageous and truthful.

Its really nice to see this topic gaining temperature !!
Bur the same old middle class concept of politics is being pictured out here. For anything happens .. getting the politicians responsible... as if we donot have any thing to do. Talking agaisnt SMD shall generate a good heat .... but tht wont solve the problems. After all its the ppl who elected him and never dared to raise protests against his dictatorship in SILCHAR. How many of you has ever met him to tell wht he shd do? How many has gathered in front of his house to show protests? How many times did the News Papers write against him? Why do u ppl vote for him even if u know he is unable to bring any change to ur life-style.
Lets not just write replies in this discussion room........come with ur Name , Address and write a mail to him before the election stating our demands.
Lets see how many of u really think for the BARAK VALLEY.

**** Can anybody tell me the e-mail ID of SMD?

Re: Politics in Barrak,
«on: 10/02/04 at 21:57:05 »

Dear Sir/Mem ,
Thanks to you all to Discuss about our own problems. We all are from one family & should share each other how to devolop our Barrak our family.
Actually i have some experience i will mention ,
Mainly our Political leaders are not good enough to devolop our place.Some of leaders are ok , they want to devolop but no proper Guidence they are geting.
Proper Guidence means what?
Only the good ,brod minded people can guide properly for society but they have some prestige. They can't move in back of any big leader & our leaders need someone with his/her backside always to say ba ba ba , apne khub bhala kam kotra & this ba ba like all the human & mainly our leaders like very much & they make subleader one from that ba ba ba maker. That ba ba maker is not from good mentality or broad mentality & by his nature he do something which effect the carrier of the main leader & the society.
New all leaders coming to our place from ba ba people & not a single good , brod minded people are coming because the big leaders don't want any one from good family or good human comes as a leader because it will effect their immage & for that thay support the ba ba people. It is the mail reason to make our place backward compare to other places of India. We have to select good leaders with good family , education , culture , nature , humanity background & only this thing can devolop our place .

If our leaders can understand that they need some guide from some good people they should find out the good people one from each area ,villege & ask them or make a meeting with them once in a month & decide what to do & what is going on.
After the election we generally don't see the leader this is not good. They should come to each area in every three months & to visit each family to see what is the problem. I know leaders is not God to do everything but they can see what is the problem suffering by people & i know if a leader try by heart he/she can solv 90% of our problem.

Also we shoud give our leaders the proper way to handle our devolopment & our leader should find out the people who is benifical for society & not selfish & to get suggetion from that people , not from the people who stay with them 24 hours for own benifit & to say ba ba ba apne khub bhala kotra, sobe apnar tarif kotra.
I hope i don't dishturb any body to say above lines & its my personal exp. about politics & leaders. If i dishturb any body please excuse me.
Thanks for sharing.

Re: Older's Merriage - Bura Manuser Bia,
«on: 10/05/04 at 21:09:00 »

Dear All Borakbashi,

We are Killing our Older's why?

Mostly all of us when we get self defendent then for Job or any other reason we go separate from our Parents & leave them alone in the older age. Some time our father or mother die & leave one old alone without anybody.

In the middle or younger age do any body can think about alone staying? No one can stay as normal , without talking with other ,without joking with other no one normal human can stay. In the older age we need partner more to pass the time because we can't move to other place to find a partner.
Generally we leave our parents alone to die ..... is it the Justice to the humanity?

All over the world any old man don't stay alone without his/her pertner. They get new merraige in older age & pass their remaining life well with each others support.

Our society we will leave our parents alone to die & don't allow to get another merraige .We have to do so like other do & come out from Killing Patents.Don't think its a shame.

Wheather keep parents with you where you stay or let them do merraige in older age to pass the life easily. This way they will die once & will not die everyday.

Accept older age merraige its not shame.

Re: Older's Merrage,
«on: 10/06/04 at 02:03:54 »

Thanks writer for your column.
You open my eyes & just after i read your topic i will go to my old father who staying alone in my villege & i will push him to do other merraige within a week, otherwise i will be guilty in front of Bhagwan (God ).
My father is 55 Years old & i left him alone before 6 years in villege & come alone with my wife & child in Town because my wife don't like my father. Also my sister is saying everybody that i am not good & my wife & she is enjoying my fathers every property. Once my father get ill (seek) & i go to get him to my house where i stay but he didn't come with me & my sister shought me that she will take care about our father & she don't need my support. Then i told her to get our father with her in her House & let him stay with her . That time she make some excuse & says that she has some guest in her house & after they go she will get our father.
Again after 3 months my father get ill & no one is there to look at him. I am 60 km & sister is 1 km & also she is not coming & she says she is too busy with her childs study ,exam. Then one callme& i come & meet my father & says he don't want our help. We are selfish , I care about my wife who comes in my life from few years & my sister like her child because they born before few years & father is our dustbin. He says he will get merrage once more who will take care about him & his property will use by that one who take care about him , better then us.
I get shock & fell shame. I call my sister & she come to my home emmidately & say me stop Baba to merrage otherwise we will loose his property. I discover how is my sister & what she want . I was not thinking about property but she is more better then me & thinking about property. When my wife listen this she become the friend of my sister & before they was not ready to see each others face. Both of them comes to me & says stop BABA othrwise we will loose his 5-10 lakhs property.
Its happen with me last week only, i was thinking what to do , stop father for property or stop relation with my wife & sister because they will do with me same in future & also my son will do same with me in future. I was so confuse , i was thinking to leave my family & society & desiding to go to some other part of the world where no one know me & become sadhu ( In side the Ashram ) .
Your topic gives me a light which comes from heven for me & i will leave all selfish things & let my father do another merraige & let his wife enjoy his property who deserve it . Not by us who never think well for him. I don't want his property & this pap & suggest all to avoid this types of activities & help the olders who make you young.
Thanks for your thinking.
God Bles You.

The issue raised by supporter is quite noble and it calls for a rethink of our attitute. It's another matter that it does not fit in the thread and that he could have started another new thread.
However I smell something fishy after reading the next posting by proof. From the matching of the timing of the develpoement in proof's family and the posting by supporter and also from the simillarity in thier way of writing indicates that both are same person. What is the motive behind starting the debate and then supporting it with another name?

Re: How to Develop our Barak Valley
«on: 10/06/04 at 20:50:41 »

Over the years I have had my own thoughts on the problems that have rocked our Barak Valley…and here are some random thoughts on the same. This were things thought about while on trains, buses, motorcycles etc.. you might not find them coherent…but could just trigger your thoughts in certain directions (whether you agree or disagree with me)…and as more and more people think and become aware of the real problems, the nearer a solution could be. I am afraid, this is not very sequential and mostly discontinuous…and very very commonsensical…

Infrastructure:
This is the Primary requirement. In terms of road, power (generation, distribution, transmission), irrigation facilities etc. etc..

The roads are in bad shape, no doubt. However we are not only concerned with the roads of Silchar, but more importantly the roads that connect Barak valley to the rest of the country, to the neighboring states. The road and railway connectivity to Guwahati is of extreme importance. As an example, we could say that this is crucial for being able to sell some of the local made products outside…economically and effectively. When a local item is manufactured (for example say some handicraft item such as cane and bamboo goods, or jams and jellies made at, say, Poilapul) more often than not, the demand for them within the Barak Valley is not sufficient to consume the total supply (due to various reasons such as high- class consumer preferences for branded jams such as Kissan, or low- class consumers not being able to afford even the local- made jams). As a result of this, the producer either has to stock those items in the hope of being able to sell them later or not produce to his full capacity. Due to the absence of proper storage facilities, the perishable items (for example say fruit jam) cannot be stored for long and hence the producer is not able to up- scale. In case of a middle sized producer, he might still be able to sell some of his products in far off places, but the transportation costs become exceedingly prohibitive robbing him of a good margin, which in turn reduces his incentive to produce more.
How would this simplistic example change if we had good roads?

With roads in good shape, you would have more transporters in the fray, more vehicles in the transportation business which would pull the costs of transportation down due the principle of market supply and demand operating in order to discover the equilibrium price (the invisible hand of market Adam Smith). With reduced costs for transportation, the margins that a producer of local item would receive would be high…which would in turn increase his incentive to produce more. He would now not be constrained by the capacity of the market in the Barak valley, but would be able to look beyond and thus could assume a critical mass in production. This might help him to upscale his production capacities, achieve economies of scale in production processes and thus produce higher, sell higher and earn more. The social benefit associated is the creation of employment for the local masses. And as one thing leads to another, there would be a few more such firms that would upscale and assume center stage.
This example is very simplistic in nature and we must bear in mind that there are several co- related variables that we are not considering right now, for example, the skillsets required, the capital investment required in the growth stages, the power scenario, the availability of resources, the quality consistencies…however, isolating just one variable, as we have done here, helps us to understand the situation better. Once we do that, we are more confident in gradually bringing in other variables into the field and understand how they all get tied together.

This example was just to illustrate one way in which better means of transportation (roads, railways, waterways) would help us in development.
The other major infrastructural necessity is of course, power. This is a crucial input for any machining industry. Forget the big industries, cement, paper, glass…even small machining industries cannot simply function without adequate power. Power need not necessarily be electricity. Coal and gas are also important sources of power. However, the question remains, where does the region get its requisite supply of power from? What happened to the proposed projects? I was told one requires Rs. 5000 crores and I am not sure any government would be able to grant that much to the region. What then? Private investments? Unlikely at this stage…for there hardly seems to be any incentive for the private players like Reliance and Tata to invest in this region of the country…since it is much cheaper for them to extract gas from Gujarat, Bombay or Orissa and sell it to the industries. Besides, in infrastructure projects, the gestation periods are extremely high, and unless Barak Valley has a critical mass of industries, the private players would not be interested in selling power…so it is kind of a chicken and egg scenario.

So this is a BIG question…where does the region get its POWER from?
I have no answers; maybe someone here could suggest a few answers.

Irrigation: There is not dearth of water reservoirs in the country…however the question is how do you get that water to the agricultural land? The problem for our valley is a little different than the rest of the country’s…our problem is we get hit by floods all too often, which might just ruin the seasonal crop and leave the farmer in the middle of nowhere. We also have rains all too often that simply plunder the farmer off a good crop. One solution to this could be educating the farmer of the value of multiple crops in the same land…agriculture round the corner, of different crops. This would provide a hedge to the farmer so that if one crop were to be destroyed due to excessive water, he still would have others to fall back upon. However, I am not sure of the soil requirements for round- the- year agriculture and hence anyone in the know, is requested to share her/ his views.

Middleman, lack of proper information, and lack of accessibility to big marketplaces…these are other problems that need to be tackled at the grassroots level. Does anyone in Silchar notice how drinks and snacks manufactured in Bangladesh have flooded the markets in Silchar? Several of these products come from places that are more backward than our Barakvalley…These are also regions that are affected by floods almost with non- sporadic frequency…these are also places where the private sector from Bangladesh is not willing to make capital investments…these are places with similar profiles as Silchar and the adjoining places…how have they been able to do it?
For them, the answer was in microfinance- a concept that Bangladesh has pursued and implemented with more or less regular success. Small NGOs raise money from outside Bangladesh, and they have developed a good distribution mechanism for the disbursement of those money. This has created a tremendous amount of entrepreneurship in certain pockets of Bangladesh…and many of the biscuits, wafers, leechi- drinks (and I do not know what other products) that we see in the markets in Silchar and in the Shillong regions (do not know about ghy) are the outcome of those small small entrepreneurial ventures in Bangladesh.
Thus, Microfinance might be one way in which employment and income can be generated in the rural areas of Silchar. This concept has created wonders in certain parts of the country (AP is a noteable example…particularly now with the YSR government taking a much more balanced approach to techno- rural development).

Thus, while some of the major requirements such as infrastructural requirements need government funding, there are certain other avenues (microfinance is such an example) which require minimal government assistance and more of mass- involvement and initiative that can fuel growth.

There are other variables also…infact a string of other variables that are necessary to get the region on the path of development. Education is one such variable. Schools should look at not merely imparting academic training, but more importantly they should look at liberating the mind of the kids…they should engage them in tasks that make the kids ask questions, design games that make the kids think differently that what the environment makes them to believe…disruptive…yet guided to an extent. Also, vocational training is necessary…schools could design their courses in such a way, that maybe in a week they have a couple of hours dedicated to games that build that entrepreneurial spirit in the students…
If an entire generation of students is nurtured in this way, not just in the prestigious schools in Silchar, but through a common program in even the remote areas, then we could have the necessary mindset created to really start changing things in a big way. That is a long- term plan, but I consider it worth the wait.

We often keep on talking about corruption, of the political leaders robbing us of our fortunes…but this is true for most of the country…and yet we have pockets of excellences, regions that have been able to get around the politicians and the common people have changed their fates…through industries, through education, through creation of niche expertise…the government funding have come much later. Going a little besides the point, during the time of industrial revolution, England was also a country plagued with corruption…yet some of the finest innovations came from that country…that is because somehow, a large number of people had that entrepreneurial spirit in them…and together the made inventions after inventions…trying to bring in efficiencies…trying to change the way things were done traditionally…and that is how they changed the world. For every successful inventor, there must have been a hundred failed entrepreneurs.

This is not a treatise, this is just some random thoughts put together. This is not the end…this is berely the starting point from where we could start thinking, adding other issues one by one along the way. However, any discussion on such topics as “development of Barak valley” requires a structured approach, where an area is spotted and dissected…hope this message helps us to think on this issue sector wise, problem wise…and then think individually about the solutions…combine individual thoughts and come up with a collective viewpoint.

That is one more weak point there. Why u compare Silchar with other places of Barak. Why can't u compare Silchar with other places of Western or Northern India.
People there feels good that they are better-off then Hailakandi or Karimgang and be happy. On the other hand if they think where Silchar is now and where other small towns like for that matter from NE only Shillong/Gauhati/Jorhat etc they will know where they are lagging behind.
Though this is other school of thoughts for developments but beleive me it is better school of thought for the people there.

Dear guestb..i was not trying to be satisfied with what we have...it was just an optimistic kind of statement...i do feel the need of development in our region...but, mere realisation of need doesn't work....we need to have ideas n more importantly feasible blueprint to implement....sitting in air conditioned office n writing statements will make no difference in prevailing developmental condition of silchar....everyone has got ideas, but how about practical implementation of those....

to talk about implementation............some very initial suggestions :

- make a very transparent forum, identifying individuals who takes care of their respective localities
- raise issues to be taken care of, in a phase wise manner
- start implementing them, without raising any funds from the local people
- then bring forward the issues initated to the local people and the generous efforts made
- start raising funds making it very transperant
- shift focus to the bigger issues

Hi guys...,

Everyone of you are creeping about some politician
and holding him responsible for this situation of barak valley today.

Do you realise that it's no one else but we who chose him to be our leader...?I don't think anyone ever gave it a thought while casting there vote...

Yes I understand, that there are some influence of false voting and things like that, but guys, once again who have casted these false votes....?People like you n me and that too just for a bottle of liquor or few hundred bucks.

So, lets not creep about these and think what we can do now...Everybody does mistake.As someone would say.."To Err is to Human".But if we don't learn from our mistakes then its really sad.

So lets stop discussing the problem and see what are the probable solutions..Here are some thoughts from my side...

1. Stop bribing people for each n everything under the sun.
Yes, I understand that time is a big factor and none of us
would like to pester someone and beg for small things.But
believe me a little patience and a stern belief on ourselves
can do the trick.

2. Develop a helping attitude towards people.

3. If you have a idea which can bring some difference,even if
very small,to the community then go ahead a share it.

4. Lastly,if you dont believe or trust something then don't be
afraid to question or ask for a clarification. You need to
understand that we are still existing under the shades of
democracy.

Thanks .... :)

Dear all Viewers,
I thanks full to all becose we all like to devolop our place , mother land & we r talking about devolopment. I know all of the particapater here is genius,experienced & respective persons. This people giving some ideas which can really devolop our mother ........
Actually do we are voting our leaders? Answer of this question is no. We are not selecting our leaders & they are geting vote by their force , its the only real thing. Every one of us know this but where to talk , total system is correpted & if u complain that one is doing raging , within a second u will find police is in your door to arrest u for a case what you don't know about.
Before election from one year our leaders start to bring the govt. officials who is listening to him/her to the area from where he/she is going to be a candidate. After that game is easy because that way they make the total administration under their hand & do what they want. They transper the officers who don't listen to them & we support to transper that people without making any strice, banner or Croud.
If we stop that it will help us to kill corruption go get birth. Because the corruption brith from Election.
Thanks for your peasence to stay with me for a long time to read my post.
