Human groups have a tendency to move towards and settle in the areas of plenty from the areas of scarcity due to economic factors. However, when sociopolitical aspects are involved, such movements are really of serious consequences. The ever-changing demographic and ethnic composition of people influenced the political and economic set up even before partition of India. Consequences of Bangladeshi immigration in Assam can be viewed in different ways but it cannot be separate from each other. First the economic consequences by immigrants, second the conflict between indigenous tribal and immigrants due to illegal occupation of land, third the crisis of identity of indigenous population and the fourth is the most important and the recent one, the movement against foreigners. The later one is the most important factors in Assam for its social disruptions and political instabilities and also important from the point of view of different act and law related to immigration and citizenship and governmental roll in the state. This paper also try to analysis all the push and pull (economic) factors of migration and its consequences of major streams that have taken place during pre and post-independence period in Assam, with special reference to illegal immigration from Bangladesh.Keywords

The primary data are collected through multi-stage random sampling of the districts. Each district are stratified into development blocks which are also further stratified into villages. All total six development blocks are randomly selected two from each districts and in the next phase, 30 villages (5 from each block) are randomly selected from 6 blocks. From these 30 sample villages in the six development blocks, households are selected on the basis of proportionate sampling method. In all the 30 villages, overall 423 households are randomly selected considering 10 percent of the each villages and data are collected through personal interviews using standard questionnaire.

Education is the most important instrument for changing the economic condition of the rural society. It is also crucial to every aspect of social and economic development. The economic development is a measure of the welfare of humans in a society and education is a prime leading piece for the development in a region. It‘s not only helps the farmers planning and management, rational decision making, record keeping, computation of cost and revenue, but it also provides knowledge to adopt improve methods of cultivation, to understand processing methods and storage procedures, to know the programmes, targets and policies of the government, to know the family welfare, health, nutrition and home economics etc. However, agriculture is the primary source of occupation to the Indian rural people who directly or indirectly depend on agriculture. The present paper deals with the role of education and economic development through agriculture at the micro levels in rural Assam. It also attempts to examine the spatial variation of agricultural development of the studied districts with the help of eight variables viz. net sown area (X1), cropping intensity (X2), crop productivity (X3) (Yag‘s Yield Index), irrigated area (X4), area under HYV seeds (X5), use of fertilizer (X6), agricultural Labours (X7) and commercial and Gramin Banks (X8) for determining the status of each districts separately on each variables. Besides, that the development of districts have been categorized into three classes viz, high, medium and low on the basis of their respective Z-score of the variables. On the basis of composite z-score the development of districts have been again categorized into three classes- high, medium and low. The result shows that there is a positive association between literacy and agriculture development of the different census years.Keywords

Therefore, it is urgent need to study the development of womens education in Assam. This paper aims to study the educational landscape of women past and present in Assam and its obstacles and has some suggested views on how to overcome it.References

The economy of the state Assam is based on Agriculture and the rural mass depends mainly on agriculture and allied activities for their subsistence. The socio-economic status of majority of rural communities in the state is poor. Besides cultivation of various agricultural and commercial crops, the population of the state also practices fishing, breeding, sericulture, ceramics, husbandry, pottery etc. for their livelihood options. To understand various problems and prospects of socio economic development of rural communities, a case study was conducted in the Lakhimpur district of Assam. As a part of the study, this present paper addresses the livelihood aspects and socio economic condition of the rural communities in the Lakhimpur district of Assam. The district Lakhimpur is situated in the northern bank of the Brahmaputra river and about 91 per cent population reside in the rural areas. For the primary data collections 8 villages are selected randomly 4 from each of two Developmental Blocks namely the Nowboicha and Narayanpur. In total, 160 household families are randomly selected considering each village’s 10 percent respondents are randomly selected for final data collection. The data are collected through personal interviews using standard questionnaire. The study reveals that although the agriculture is the main employment and livelihood options of the people, the productivity and economic performance of agriculture is very poor. Regular floods, as well as the lack of irrigation and modern facilities are found as critical factors of poor performance of agriculture. To meet their daily needs, people have adopted other options, such as fishing and fishing, cattle breeding, cattle rearing and handicrafts etc. but even these activities do not provide enough earning to meet fulfil their basic needs. The lack of various infrastructures not only limits the livelihood options of the rural mass but also hinders their socio economic development.Keywords
