CHAPTER II
SECTORAL DISTRICT PLANS/SCHEMES
2.1 Sectoral Districts Plans / Schemes
Saiha is one of the most Backward districts of Mizoram. The districts has always had
very high growth potential, however it still remains undeveloped comparison to
other districts. The district is lack of quality human and non-human resources, the
various sectors have not been able to interlink too, thus leaving almost all regions of
the district are poorly developed. We base our exercise on the premise that the
annual plan for 2015-16 will achieve set targets and also converge with the objectives
of the annual plan.

2.2
Agriculture and Allied Sector:
The Agriculture sector is playing a vital role in the development of the rural economy
of the Saiha district. The following description envisages the detail activities and
innovative schemes included in the district plan are: development of production &
productivity rice, pulses, oilseeds, maize with cluster approach, diversification of
cropping pattern, organic farming, management of Acid soils, seed village
programme, farm mechanization, micro irrigation, farm field demonstration, training,
exposure visit, development of infrastructure and farm extension programme.
There are four major constraints to agriculture development in the district. They can
be broadly categorized as reachout capacity of the institution, physical constraints,
technological constraints and financial / investment constraints. With proper capacity
19
Integrated District Plan: SAIHA 2015-16
building and organizational arrangements physical and technological constraints
could be minimized to achieve vision goals. The Projected outlay for the Agriculture
and allied sector of Annual plan is Rs. 9048.87 Lakh
Needs Assessment and priority setting are essential to the successful planning and
achievement of targets in all sectors. This will have an immense impact on Allied
sectors in the coming years. Horticulture, Animal Husbandry, Fisheries would play a
vital role in the economy of Saiha. The Allied sectors must be taken into account
while planning as they would result in the improvement of backward areas, efficient
utilization of natural, financial and human resources, poverty reduction, hunger free
society and increase in generation of income and employment. These sectors would
be instrumental in the overall empowerment of farmers and rural and urban
entrepreneurs and lead to holistic development of the district. Several steps would
be undertaken for development in this sector. Opening up of new seed sales centers
and timely supply of fertilizers and pesticides will facilitate higher productivity.

2.3 Horticulture:
Horticulture sector in Saiha district has created a special recognition for vegetable
production. Apart from vegetables, some fruits like Mango, Orange, Lemon, Banana,
Guava, Jack fruit and Papaya are also under cultivation in the district. In few pockets
spices like Ginger and Turmeric and in Floriculture Rose, Marigold, Tube rose and
Anthodium are being grown by the farmers in the district. The present agro climatic
condition, soil status, socio-economic and marketing scenario of the district are
highly conducive for promotion of horticultural development in the district. The
important vegetables grown by the farmers are Mustard, tomato, cabbage, chilly,
Capsicum and Potato etc.

2.4 Strategy:
•

•
•
•
•
•
Basing on the Agro climatic and soil condition different Horticulture crops
would be taken up for different areas
Fruit plants will be planted both in irrigated and non-irrigated conditions
Horticulture Nurseries in private sector would be encouraged including
strengthening of government nurseries and farms
Protected cultivation like green house, shade net and mulching would be
initiated and encouraged
Dissemination of latest technology through demonstration, training,
workshops and exhibitions at Block and Sub-divisional level
Emphasis will be given on integrated pest management and Organic farming
For post harvest management, preservation activities of fruits and vegetables
will be taken care of
2.5 Animal Husbandry:
The animal husbandry sector is one of the most important allied sectors which
actually create a lot of income generation opportunities for all categories of farmers
both in rural and urban areas. Even a land less farm holder can take an activity like
dairy, goatery, poultry or piggery as an enterprise for income generation of his family.
A slight change from traditional to commercial and integrated approach in rearing of
live stock animals and birds can make a big change in family and district income
2.6 Rural Development:
Rural sector suffers from multiple disadvantages like high incidence of poverty, poor
access to health care facilities, disguised unemployment in primary sector etc.
Despite several efforts, these parameters continue to remain at high level causing
distress in growth. During the 11th Five Year Plan, it has been planned to adopt
various strategies to create more gainful employment, improve economic condition,
and better standard of living. This will result in improving social and economic
infrastructure to the rural people and providing universal access to basic minimum
facilities.
Strategy:
• Rural Infrastructure development
• Supply of drinking water and total sanitation
• Providing sustainable source of livelihood
• IYA/RHA
Outlay: To achieve these objectives through the above strategy a sum of Rs.300.00
lakh has been proposed under various rural development related plans and schemes
for the Annual Plan 2015-16 including rural employment.

Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS): The
objective is to provide livelihood security to rural households by providing at least
100 days of wage employment (unskilled manual work). The details are presented
below:
1. To strengthen food security and to improve nutritional status of unemployed
and underemployed households by providing 100 days of employment to
each BPL family willing to work
2. To optimize resources available under all the development programmes
operational at the Panchayat level and to provide best possible and
meaningful option for convergence/dovetailing of all such programmes
3. To derive maximum benefit in favour of the rural poor specially with regard to
generation of employment opportunities both in terms of wage and self
employment, through creation of need based optimum infrastructure at the
Panchayat level in the short term and develop self sustaining robust
Panchayat economy in the long run
4. To create necessary infrastructure in the following categories
i.Water conservation and drought proofing including
afforestation
ii.Land development
iii. Flood control and protection measures (including drainage in water
logged areas)
iv. Rural connectivity
2.8 Special Area Programme:
Removal of regional disparities has been emphasized during various plan periods. In
fact, inter district disparity has become pronounced due to several factors such as
differences in endowment of natural resources, creation of infrastructure, occurrence
of natural calamities etc. To address these issues special area development
programmes have been framed. The Annual Plan Outlay for the district under this
sector is Rs.150 lakh.
22
Integrated District Plan: SAIHA 2015-16
2.9 Irrigation & Flood Control:
Half of the potential flat land within Saiha District could not utilised for WRC due
to absence of irrigation house. Development of irrigation has been accorded prime
importance during the 12th Plan. However, recently, the approach towards irrigation
has undergone a sea-change not only in the district but in the state as well. Emphasis
is being given on sustainable water resource management through watershed
development approach and water users’ association. This participatory approach will
be taken to develop the sector in best possible manner. During this annual plan
period, multiple approaches will be undertaken to increase both potential creation
and utilization of irrigation areas. The proposed required plan is 300.00 Lakh.

Energy:
Among the prime inputs energy has always been a major thrust area as far as
infrastructure is concerned. This is crucial for the economic development as well as
overall well-being of the people. Increase in power generation has cascading effects
on all sectors leading to increased growth in agriculture, industry et al. Generation
and supply of energy at affordable prices has always remained a great challenge.
Both conventional energy and non-conventional sources of energy have been of
considerable importance to fulfill the growing demands in the district. Domestic as
well as commercial consumption of energy has increased over the years. Several
successive plans and schemes have been implemented since last few years. The
proposed plan for the Energy sector is Rs.150.00 lakhs for the year 2015-16.

Industries and Minerals:
The district is known for industry and minerals at the state and national level. With the
initiatives of Govt. for the promotion of MSME, it is expected that small enterprises in
shape of SSIs would come up in the district in the coming years. For different small scale
industries as well as for the promotion of textiles and handloom, measures would be
taken in the plan period with the proposed outlay of Rs.60.00 lakh for the year 2015-16.

Promotion of Handloom Industries:
The objective of the scheme is to popularize handloom consumers by organizing
exhibitions, festivals, workshops, exposure visits, technology demonstration, fairs,
seminars and other such activities within and outside the district and state.
2.12
Transport:
Good infrastructure gives an area, zone or district an upper edge for attracting
investment and mobilization of funds into the district. With the onset of liberalization
an efficient transport infrastructure has become a necessity to enable the district to
be a major player in the domestic and international markets through the transfer of
goods produced specifically in the district to centers where they can be directed
towards prospective national and international markets. The proposed Annual plan
outlay for the year 2015-16 is Rs.330.00 lakh.
Apart from above mentioned schemes/programmes, importance has been given to
roads and transport sector through BRGF and MGNREGS schemes.

Social Services:
The objective of education is to empower people with skills, knowledge and positive
attitude in order to have respectable sources of livelihood. It aims at reducing
illiteracy rate and providing sound qualifications that can be put to use in practical
field. Skill up-gradation and knowledge enhancement is possible through liberal and
technical education. Elementary education has been the centre of focus since
independence. The goal of universalization of elementary education has not so far
been realized due to the inability to successfully handle local problems and
identification of the issues and solutions in context to the situation of the district. To
address various issues on quality education, multi-grade and multi-situation activities
need to be incorporated in the plan to deal with problems. The proposed Annual
plan for Social Services is Rs. 1050.00 lakhs for the year 2015-16.

2.16
Rural Water Supply & Sanitation
Sanitation is a basic necessity that affects everyone's life. Proper disposal of household
waste is important to prevent feco-oral and vector borne diseases. The Rural Water
Supply & Sanitation organization implements rural drinking water supply programme by
utilizing the outlay under Accelerated Rural Water Supply Programme (ARWSP), Special
Central Assistance (SCA)andSwajaldhara and centrally sponsored Total Sanitation
Campaign (TSC). Besides implementing the schemes and programmes, both these
organizations provide emergency support service during natural calamities. For the
successful implementation of community-based and demand responsive programmes
such as Swajaldhara and Total Sanitation Campaign, Orissa State Water and Sanitation
Mission, a registered society under the aegis of Rural Development Department, was
constituted and established.

CHAPTER III:
SWOT Analysis
3.1 District SWOT
The district has its strength in different strategic development areas and through
various measures, it has turned different weaknesses in to strength in certain areas
which has benefitted people of the district and contributed to the overall development.
Through consultation with different stakeholders at the district, sub-district and GP
level, SWOT of district and different sectors are identified. The overall situation of the
district is presented below which may not be equally applicable to all the blocks of the
district. The perspective and annual plan is prepared to turn around the identified
weakness in to strength, tapping opportunities for the development of the people and
minimizing the threat through appropriate measures. SWOT of the district and different
sectors / development focused areas are presented below and sectoral SWOT given in
the matrix.
Strength:
As the district is one of the most backward region and it has no strength at all as
compared to other districts in the state.
Weakness:
Poor and inadequate irrigation facilities, power supply, frequently pest infestation,
inadequate extension service and fragmented holding affected to production of the
agricultural crops and vegetables. Inadequate support for creating awareness, poor live
stock management practices and poor proportion of indigenous breeds affected to milk
production. High siltation of water bodies, insufficient water and poor scientific
knowledge decrease scope of modern fishing. Rapid depletion of forest due to
devastation of forest as a result of shifting cultivation. Quality education depletion due
to lack of teacher appointed by government. Inadequate infrastructure, equipments and
service facilities in health sector and highest in infant mortality rate are considered as
the major weakness of the district.
Opportunity:
Fund flow under centrally sponsored scheme like Backward Region Grant Fund
(BRGF), MGNREGS etc. can only help to reduce poverty.
Threat:
As the central government has delinked BRGF from its support and if Mizoram State
Government does not continue funding for the same, then it is going to be a disaster for
the district.

Integrated District Plan: SAIHA 2015-16
Chapter IV:
Resource Envelop
Saiha district is having 2 blocks. The block wise detail outlay status is placed on the
availability of resources in the district. The district plan for the year 2015-16 has been
formulated on the basis of the proposals received from line departments as per the
requirement in different areas. As such the requirement of funds during the aforementioned
period exceeds the proposed outlay for the district.The block wise outlay is based on
requirement as well as realistic assessment of the availability of resources, distributed over
different blocks in the district. Total proposed outlay for the rural areas is estimated for the
Annual Plan 2015-16 (Proposed outlay is presented in Table). However, details of resource
flow of each Block from all sources are given in Annexure.

Chapter V:
Convergence Plan
Convergence is understood as Optimum use of available resources for common
outcome, minimise the resource gap and reduce the duplication of activity. In order
to align the demand and supply situation, it would be obvious that many
departments will Sbe interested for convergence for a higher output. This will enable
them to realise significant benefits and enhance the development impact. For this to
happen, it is essential that the policy and convergence frameworks allow different
schemes to function in a collaborative manner rather than competing with each
other or with a standalone approach. So, an enabling policy environment for
convergence is highly essential like that of MGNREGA. Some of the areas of
convergence specifically with reference to MGNREGA and other schemes would be a
shift from mere wage employment to sustainable rural livelihoods; from unskilled to
skilled labour through knowledge & technology input, training & capacity building of
the job card holder, water-use efficiency in the excavated / renovated tanks,
backward–forward linkages around the created productive asset base like
tanks/ponds & other feasible productive infrastructure, land development of small
and marginal farmers in rain-fed areas etc. Different schemes being implemented by
different departments having convergence potential with other schemes. Expected
areas of convergence with other schemes are presented in the matrix.

Chapter VI:
District Vision: 2020
6.1 Introduction and Background:
The vision of the district is wide-ranging and in agreement with the prevailing
situation and existing potential. It encompasses key factors that influence the life of
the people directly or indirectly at different degrees. The district vision balances and
amalgamates all the divergent views [views gathered from different sections at
district level] and blended suitable for the fulfilment of the aspiration of the people
of the district. The vision of the district is framed based on the assessment of ground
realities and future possibilities. The vision looks to by-pass the limitations the district
has been experiencing, fulfilling emerging gaps and overall strategy to deal with the
present and expected future challenges capitalizing upon the prevailing opportunities
and potentials. This vision may not fulfil all these criteria to the full satisfaction, but it
can serve as a useful starting point and foundation for contemplating future
possibilities and desired destiny for the people. It can serve to indicate the broad
lines of strategizing policy implementation by which the district can emerge as a
prosperous district in the coming years. The district vision is prepared based upon
many ideas gathered during consultation and interaction process with district level
people and stakeholders. This vision is neither a prediction of what will actually
occur, nor simply a wish list of desirable but unattainable ends. Rather, it is a
statement of what people believe is possible for the district to achieve, provided the
district continue to receive fund under BRGF – human, organisational, technological
and financial – generate the requisite will and make the required effort. In
formulating the vision, it was important to see beyond the limitations the district
experienced in the past and attempt made to rediscover the potentiality /
opportunities the district is having.
6.2 District Vision:
The district Saiha has a unique ethnic culture and population as well as rich in natural
heritage. “The mission for Saiha is to have “Efficient utilization of resources available
and fund received for ensuring comprehensive development of the district for
enhancing the quality of life for citizens.”
