Abstract

The Sadiya Developmental Block of Tinsukia district is one of the remotest and most backward blocks of Assam in the North Eastern India. It was geographically completely isolated from the main land of the country by the Lohit (Brahmaputra) and Dibang rivers until the recent bridge over the Brahmaputra was inaugurated on May 2017. Agriculture is the only source of livelihood and revenue generation of the people in this block. However, there is vast scope for socio economic upliftment of the poor mass. A case study has been conducted for finding the problems and prospects of the agricultural development in the area by selecting 10 sample villages of the Block. It has been found that the poor road communication and agricultural marketing are the major problems that hinder the overall development of agriculture in the Block.
