Dhubri, India History
Assam starts with its south western boundary with the District Dhubri. The present Dhubri District is one of the three Civil Sub-divisions of erst-whileGoalpara district, established in 1876 during British regime. In 1879 the District head quarter was shifted from Goalpara to Dhubri.
In the year 1983 Goalpara district was divided into four separate districts and Dhubri is one of those.Covering an area of 2,838 Sq. Kms. including forests, riverines,hills etc. the district has become the most densely populated district in India with a density of 584 persons per sq.Km.(As per 2001 census).
Agriculture is the main livelihood for majority of the people of the district. As per 1991 census reports,73.21% of the total workforce has taken agro-based activities as means of livelihood. The principal crops are Autumn paddy, Winter paddy, Mustard, Rape seeds,Wheat and Jute.Other than agriculture,a small portion of work-force is engaged in live- stock, forestry, fishery etc., while a very small number is engaged in mining & quarry and in manufacturing and processing units. Dhubri district is considered to be the most industrially backward pdistrict of Assam. The Agricultural as well as natural resource is not satisfactorily exploited for industrial purpose. However, the district could attain an appreciable grade qualitatively in the sphere of Handicraft, such as Terracotta, Pith Crafts, Cane & Bamboo Crafts, Weaving, Jute Crafts etc. With the backwardness in literacy and in absence of rich-industrial infrastructure the general socio-economic condition of the district is very poor. The economic growth rate of population multiplied by influx problem from across the border is causing severe pressure on agricultural land holding.
Rupshi-airport is situated about 15 pkm away from Dhubri which was constructed during last World WarII by the British Govt. exclusively for millitary operation.Number of private companies operated regular flights (Decota) carrying passengers as well as goods between Calcutta/Dhubri via Jalpaiguri/Coochbehar (West Bengal) after Independence.The Indian-Airlines also operated regular air flights between Calcutta/Dhubri.
