Introduction
Assam is situated at the North-eastern Himalayan Sub-region of India. In spite of having huge development potential, the economy of Assam remained underdeveloped as it is characterized by poverty, under-utillised man power and untapped natural resources. The economy of the state is depending too much on agriculture. In Assam, cultivators and agricultural labourers together account for 64.0 percent of the total working population, whereas workers of manufacturing other household industries constitute only 2.8 percent of the total worker of the state.
Assam is one of the industrially backward states of the country. In spite of being blessed with a high potential for development of resource-based and demand-based industries in the state, the pace of industrialization in Assam had not been satisfactory. The industrial sector in the state had been centralized around some particular sectors, like tea, petroleum, coal, jute and forests.
Industries in Assam can be broadly classified into four heads :
(a) Agro-based industry,
(b) Mineral-based industry,
(c) Forest-based industry, and
(d) Other industries.
Agro-based industries of Assam include-Tea industry, Sugar industry, Grain mill products industry-(Rice, Oil and Flour Mill), Food processing industry and Textile industry.

    Agriculture plays an essential role in the process of economic development of less developed countries like India. Besides providing food to nation, agriculture was the main source of national income and occupation at the time of independence. Agriculture and allied activities contributed nearly 50 percent to India’s national income. Around 72 percent of total working population was engaged in agriculture. This confirms that Indian economy was a backward and agriculture based economy at the time of independence. After 64 years of independence, the share of agriculture in total national income declined from 50 percent in 1950 to 14.2 percent in 2010-11 (Economic Survey, 2011). But even today more than 60 percent of workforce is engaged in agriculture. In spite of this, it is also an important feature of agriculture that is to be noted that growth of other sectors and overall economy depends on the performance of agriculture to a considerable extent. Because of these reasons agriculture continues to be the dominant sector in Indian Economy. Since Independence India has made much progress in agriculture. Indian agriculture, which grew at the rate of about 1 percent per annum during the fifty years before independence, has grown at the…
