Abstract
Until recently Assam comprised two main divisions, hills and plains, which were more or less equal in geographical area though not in population. With the creation of Meghalaya as a full-fledged State comprising Garo Hills, and United Khasi and Jaintia Hills, and of Mizoram out of the Mizo district as a centrally-administered territory, there remains now in Assam only one hill district, namely, United Mikir and North Cachar Hills. Certain economic, social and cultural patterns are common to all these hills and hence the grouping together of all these districts in a study of hill agriculture may not be considered unwarranted. For purposes of this paper, Assam Region means: (i) the old Assam State comprised of the present State of Assam, Mikir and North Cachar Hills inclusive, (ii) Meghalaya and (iii) Mizoram.
