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.

Colocasia is primarily grown for its starch riched edible corms and
cormels. Leaves and petioles are also used as vegetable while the
starch has industrial uses. It is grown as staples or subsistence
crop throughout the tropics and subtropics. Corms and cormels are
generally consumed after boiling or frying. In North East India,
farmers use different parts of colocasia as pig feed. It is one of
the vegetables which are most extensively consumed by the rural
people. Hundreds of cultivars are available in different parts of
the region. Wide variation in stature and growing habit exist among
the cultivars. Therefore, an experiment was designed to study the
variation and correlation in growth and yield parameters and the
interrelationship between different characters of 20 selected
germplasm of colocasia. The results obtained and the conclusions
derived from this investigation are incorporated in this book.
