The North Eastern Region of India is one of the most hazard prone
regions in India, with various natural calamities like earthquakes,
floods, landslides and cyclonic storms occurring at regular
intervals. The Brahmaputra is a major river system of the world
characterized by exceedingly high rates of basin erosion causing
immense long-term destruction every year. The continuous
retirements and unabated erosion causes heavy loss to the valuable
homestead and fertile agricultural lands, besides evacuation of
thickly populated riverine dwellers. Thus there is need to have a
proper understanding of the problems and consequences of bank
erosion, the changing social and economic characteristics due to
rehabilitation so as to undertake meaningful mitigation measures
for the benefit of the displaced people in particular and the
society as a whole. The present work basically embodies the
detailed geographical treatment of the demographic and
socio-economic characteristics of erosion affected people in the
Morigaon district of Assam.
