About my State: Assam......the rich, green land of rolling plains and dense forests is the gateway to the north
eastern part of India. The mighty Brahmaputra river that has its origins in Tibet charts its majestic course through this
state. This mystic land of eternal blue hills and beautiful rivers is renowned for its tea, rich flora and fauna, the world
famous one horned rhinoceros and other rare species of wildlife on the verge of extinction. Barring Africa, there is perhaps
no part of the world where such a variety of wildlife exists.
Situated between 90-96 degree East Longitute and 24-28 degree North Latitude, Assam is bordered
in the North and East by the Kingdom of Bhutan and Arunachal Pradesh. Along the south lies Nagaland, Manipur and Mizoram.
Meghalaya lies to her South-West, Bengal and Bangladesh to her West.
Poverty in Assam : Poverty Index is a composite of variables capturing
deprivation in three dimensions of human development viz, economic, educational and health. These have
been captured by proportion of population living below poverty line, proportion of population
without access to safe drinking water/sanitation/electricity, medical attention at birth / vaccination
and proportion living in kutchha houses, proportion of illiterate population and children not enrolled
in schools and proportion of population not accepted to survive beyond age 40).
