Farming has been the mainstay of the large majority of the people. Settled cultivation is
the general characteristics and rice has been the most dominant crop activity in the area.
Of course, mustard, sugarcane, pulses and various types of vegetables are also grown to
a limited extend. In addition dairy, poultry, piggery, pulses sericulture, weaving and
fishery are some of the subsidiary occupation of the inhabitants of the area. However, the
entire region under this sector are lagging behind due to lack of proper policies on
utilization of farm land, lack of extension services, poor purchasing capacity of majority
of the people, negligible investment in farm production and lack of technological
knowledge among the cultivation folk, along with the inertia of remaining in the
traditional set up of the farming community of the area. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : PROMOD BORGOHAIN, (2013).
