ABSTRACT
Impact assessment is the process of identifying the anticipated or actual impacts of a development intervention, on social, economic and environmental factors. An impact assessment study was carried out at Ambassa,Balaram and Morachera clusters of Dhalai district, Tripura during 2013 under NAIP project to evaluate and validate indigenous 'Improved Pig Farming Technology' (intervention) for enhancing production, profitability and competitiveness in agro ecosystem of disadvantageous areas of NEH region.Ex-post design covering both qualitative and quantitative data through random sampling and purposive selection method was taken for collection of Primary data for both treated and control groups of household farmers respectively. Primary data of fifty samples covering the above intervention are analysed for components of partial budgeting parameters. Net income from unit area was Rs.18515 for treated compared to Rs 4162 from control. B/C ratio of Treated: Control is worked out to be 0.66:0.28. Partial budgeting parameters like estimated costs, returns, net income and profit are found favourable for the Intervened Technology compared to the existing farming practices. The impact of Pig rearing Technology can be guessed from the fact that the productivity, employment generation and income has increased considerably. Livelihood opportunities have also increased in the area. Beneficiaries and family members are fully engaged in pig rearing/farming, marketing and associated activities. Assessment criteria like Relevance, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Impact and Sustainability for the Intervention are discussed in details. Finally, based on economic performance and feedback from various stakeholders it is recommended that to continue the programme for long term social and economic benefits.
Keywords: Impact Assessment, Partial Budgeting, Interventions, Pig Rearing, Livelihood, Sustainability

Both linear as well as nonlinear models applied to fisheries and aquaculture research has been dealt with illustrated examples on current real fisheries data. Adequate attention has been given to select chapters that contain both theoretical as well as applied areas of researc...

Post Demonetization Budget-2017- Expectations, Apprehensions and Reality: India's Budget-2017

Post Demonetization Budget-2017- Expectations, Apprehensions and Reality: India's Budget-2017 (Demonetisation Book 2) Kindle Edition by ajit roy (Author, Editor) The Prime Minister's announcement of the withdrawal of ₹1000 and ₹500 notes ranks among the most significant economic measures taken by his government. The audacious move has given birth to hopes of a decisive blow to the black economy, terrorism and counterfeit currency. It is also being lauded for its potential to convert India into a cashless economy. The backdrop to the Budget was a fairly volatile past few months with multiple issues such as (a) demonetisation; (b) ambiguities on indirect transfer taxes; (c) treaty changes to India-Mauritius Treaty etc. Union finance minister Arun Jaitley stepped into Parliament on February 1, 2017, unveiled India’s first post demonetisation Budget. Many people have questioned if this move is the biggest disruption for electronic payments in 2016. Remone...

Fishery resources distribution with emphasis on trends of relationship between fish seed and fish production of Assam. Author(s) : Roy, A. K. ; Upadhyay, A. D. ; Taye, R. K. ; Anushree Das ; Rajita Devi Author Affiliation : College of Fisheries, Central Agricultural University, Lembucherra 799 210, Tripura West, India. Author Email : akroy1946@yahoo.co.in Journal article : Environment and Ecology 2013 Vol.31 No.2B pp.859-863 ref.4 Abstract : Pisciculture is considered as an important economic activity in the socio-economic context in the State of Assam . A survey to assess the fishery resources reveals that Assam is one of the richest state in the country with surface water resources where bheel fisheries and pond and tank fisheries alone occupies about 1.40 lakh hectares area. Within the confined water bodies, bheel fisheries constitute 54% of to...

Statistical Methods for Genomic Sequence and Microarray Analysis

Statistical Methods for Genomic Sequence and Microarray Analysis A.K. Roy1 and S.R. Martha1 1 Central Institute of Freshwater Aquaculture Kausalyaganga,Bhubaneshwar – 751 002,Odisha Multivariate analysis methods such as Correspondence Analysis and Principle Component Analysis have often been used to identify major trends of variation in synonymous codon usage among inter or intra specific genes. Genetic codes are degenerate meaning most of amino acids can be encoded by more than one codon (triplet of nucleotides); such codons are synonymous and usually differ by one nucleotide in the third position. The alternative synonymous codons are not used with similar frequency and their usage varies among different genes. Hence there is the presence of Relative Synonymous Codon Usage values.

Evaluation of Performance of Primary Fisheries Cooperative Societies (MSS) of Tripura

Evaluation of Performance of Primary Fisheries Cooperative Societies (MSS) of Tripura A.D. Upadhyay, M. Sinha, 1 , A.K. Roy, J.R. Dhanze and D.K. Pandey College of Fisheries, Central Agricultural University, Lembucherra Tripura – 799 210, India 1 Directorate of Fisheries, Govt. of Tripura, Agartala, India Email:ad_up@rediffma Abstract Fishermen cooperatives are recognized as means of socio-economic development of fishers/fish farming community, which generally belong to weaker section of the society. The state of Tripura has made significant progress in fish production by 197 per cent from 2004-05 to 2011-12. An attempt has been made in this paper to analyse the status of Fishermen Cooperatives in Tripura with respect to water holdings and fish and fish seed production. It has been found that the fishermen cooperative in Tripura like other states of the country is not encouraging because majority of them...

Big Data to check Illegal Fishing

Big Data to Check Illegal Fishing Illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing accounts for a significant amount of over fishing. Each year the global IUU catch has been estimated to be 11–26 million tones that accounts between 7% and 17% of the total global catch. IUU is creating pressure on sustainability of production. If IUU continues there is a risk for food security and livelihoods of millions of people particularly living in coastal region. In such situation, big data application for sustainable fisheries may be useful in solving IUU fishing and over fishing in the open waters through locating vessel’s Automatic identification systems (AIS) that broadcast data on their location and movements. New technologies such as remote sensing and big data application can identify and control several areas of environmental and natural resource management leading to sustainability of renewable. Natural resources.
