Altered Terrain: Colonial Encroachment and Environmental Changes in Cachar, A...PriyankaKilaniya
The beginning of colonial policy in the area was signaled by the British annexation of the Cachar district in southern Assam in 1832. The region became an alluring investment opportunity for Europeans after British rule over Cachar, especially after the accidental discovery of wild tea in 1855. Within this historical context, this study explores three major stages that characterize the evolution of nature. First, it examines the distribution and growth of tea plantations, examining their size and rate of expansion. The second aspect of the study examines the consequences of land concessions, which led to the initial loss of native forests. Finally, the study investigates the increased strain on forests caused by migrant workers' demands. It also highlights the crucial role that the Forest Department plays in protecting these natural habitats from the invasion of tea planters. This study aims to analyze the intricate relationship between colonialism and the altered landscape of Cachar, Assam, by means of a thorough investigation, shedding light on the environmental, economic, and societal aspects of this historical transformation.

Kizad: Low operating cost environment
On behalf of the ADPC team, we'd like to welcome you to the wonderful Emirates Palace.
It is a great occasion for us, as we are here to launch Kizad which we believe is going to transform industrial zones.
Not only will it offer outstanding access to markets, and highly attractive operating costs, Kizad has been planned to make business success easier to achieve.
Tony let’s not forget that some of our guests have never been to Abu Dhabi before….
Let’s share with them some of the delights of our city.
I might be biased but I truly believe it’s a wonderful city…
What’s more, we are in a great position for world trade.
Abu Dhabi provides easy access to 2.8 Billion consumers in three regions….
800 Million People in Europe …
1.6 Billion in Asia …
And 400 Million in the Middle East and North Africa
All within four time zones … where overlapping operating hours facilitate international transactions and encourage business growth
With access to 400 million consumers, 40 Million of whom are in the GCC alone… Abu Dhabi is in a prime location within the MENA region too.
There is no doubt that Abu Dhabi, centered between East and West, is an ideal location for local and international businesses looking to expand
Of course it’s not just access to markets that makes Abu Dhabi such an attractive place for business….
The Emirate has invested and continues to invest in an excellent transportation infrastructure which allows companies to make the best of its strategic location
There are many other advantages for industry….
In Abu Dhabi, individuals and companies are not taxed on their income….
The excellent education, healthcare and lifestyle of the Emirates, make it easy to attract and retain top talent.
And the Government continues to invest in Universities and technical training institutions so that future generations of young Emiratis can develop the skills to flourish on a world stage….
The government has always had foresight and vision and today it’s no different.
Abu Dhabi has developed a long term plan to invest the wealth derived from oil for the good of all businesses and residents of Abu Dhabi,
The plan has a time frame… 2030 …aiming to fully realize the potential of Abu Dhabi and the changing global marketplace, to secure fulfillment and prosperity for future generations.
Abu Dhabi Economic Vision 2030 is a roadmap for the economic development of the emirate.
Its primary objective is to create growth that is stable and sustainable.
The target is to grow our GDP fourfold …from $104 billion in 2008 to $416 billion in 2030.
To achieve this target, our 2030 Economic Vision promotes the expansion of several strategic industrial sectors to drive growth and diversify the economy.
Diversification requires Abu Dhabi to build a knowledge economy that, in itself, will increase the number of highly skilled jobs.
Work is already underway in developing sectors such as Transport, Tourism Manufacturing and Healthcare, necessary to attract leading regional and multinational companies.
These vital sectors are expected to grow at more than 7.5% annually, as Abu Dhabi asserts its standing as an international hub.
An international perspective is not new for Abu Dhabi. …Trade, has long been the lifeblood of this economy.
Sea trade in particular is an integral part of the local culture and one of the cornerstones of our early development….
This heritage and experience are imprinted in the very fabric of our national character.
With a long history of maritime achievements driving growth of the Emirate’s economy, it is not surprising that Abu Dhabi Ports Company will be in the forefront of this ambitious stage of economic development.
In 2006… the Abu Dhabi government formed ADPC to help propel economic expansion by establishing firm foundations of modern infrastructure and business services in prime locations.
ADPC’s core objective is to facilitate the diversification of the economy by acting as an enabler for development and trade.
It was established with two key mandates….
Firstly, to develop, own and operate all Abu Dhabi's commercial ports….
And secondly, to develop, manage and operate industrial and commercial zones.
In line with future growth, ADPC is developing Khalifa Port, on a new site midway between Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
Khalifa Port will have an initial annual capacity of 2 million containers and 13 million tons of cargo. Dredged to receive the largest ships it will grow in phases in line with Abu Dhabi’s economic growth
Khalifa Port is now more than 68% complete, and is due to open in Q4 2012.
But even as we speak, the Port is doing business…. Last November our dedicated berth, built for our strategic partner Emirates Aluminum – EMAL - received its first shipment.
This key milestone illustrates the important role we all play in meeting our ultimate objectives for Abu Dhabi’s economy.
This brings us to ADPC’s second mandate and the key part of our presentation today, Khalifa Industrial Zone Abu Dhabi - Kizad - which is a clear testament of Abu Dhabi’s industrial growth intent
For an industrial zone to attract world class companies and truly generate new opportunities for global industry, there are three critical success factors….
Outstanding access to global markets …
Low operating costs …
and… Ease of doing business.
When these success factors are correctly blended, the result will be a globally competitive commercial environment that will attract quality business.
We believe Kizad is such an environment. It’s a vast industrial zone that will transform value for business.
We just launched the first 51 square kilometers and received a very positive response to our core benefits. So, What are these core benefits?
Well first Kizad provides easy access to local, regional and global markets…
Abu Dhabi is strategically located. As 4.5 billion consumers live within four time zones … where overlapping operating hours facilitate international transactions and encourage business growth
And Kizad is located at the centre of a major transportation network that enables goods to be shipped by Sea, Road, Rail & Air
Kizad is immediately adjacent to Khalifa Port, giving tenants direct access by sea
While Khalifa port will be the first in the region designed with dedicated rail facilities. In partnership with Union Rail, Kizad will offer tenants the opportunity to integrate rail freight facilities into their own operations
Individual Kizad plots will be connected to strategic locations across the Middle East via a sophisticated highway network which starts with excellent internal roads and includes special innovations such as The Modular Path, designed for oversized plant and equipment.
And for quick access to world markets, Kizad is within 40 minutes’drive of three major international airports.
In summary, Kizad’s excellent infrastructure and its position at the centre of this global transportation network provides its tenants with outstanding access to world markets.
The second key benefit is financial. In developing Kizad, our greatest priority has been finding ways to reduce operating costs for our tenants.
Our primary innovation is the close geographical grouping of upstream … midstream … and downstream producers in specific industries - a process called Vertically Integrated Clustering.
This process creates economies of proximity by integrating the manufacturing supply chain, creating synergies and improving productivity and efficiency.
An excellent example of how clustering works, is EMAL, who convey aluminium to midstream manufacturers in molten form, via a totally innovative development we call the hot metal road.
The midstream industries, who manufacture products like billets, rods and sheets, use the molten metal directly into their processes, saving considerable energy and cost.
The environmental benefits of the hot metal road are also considerable.
The energy saved from having to re-melt 750,000 tons of aluminum at Kizad would run 160,000 homes for a whole year and would avoid so much CO2 emissions, which would otherwise require the equivalent of 15 million trees to offset.
Vertical clusters are planned for a range of industries within Kizad. Such as Petrochemicals, Aluminum, Steel, Engineered metals product, Pharmaceuticals, Trade and Logistics, Food, paper, print and packaging
Another key component of the low operating cost environment is Abu Dhabi’s highly competitive utilities costs
Kizad also delivers additional cost differentiation through highly competitive land leasing rates…
Furthermore, Kizad’s industrial tenants are exempted from customs duties … and neither staff nor companies pay income tax.
I know you already know that but I really enjoy saying it!
Our third priority was to make sure that Kizad is an easy place to do business…
We can accommodate locally owned companies or joint ventures…
And at the same time, companies who want 100% foreign ownership
And to help investors looking to establish operations within Kizad, our “One Stop Shop” will provide all necessary information, advice and services for setting up a business in Abu Dhabi.
Also Kizad has developed a long term “bankable” agreement which can be set for up to 50 years, giving tenants easy access to project and investment finance
Quality amenities such as staff accommodation, warehousing, and a business park with facilities for offices, training and hospitality are a key part of our strategy.
In conclusion … we believe the rationale for Kizad presents a compelling business case that delivers great business value.
There has never been a more important time to facilitate an industrial environment that will deliver the three cornerstones of growth and prosperity:
Firstly... a World class transportation infrastructure that provides outstanding access to world markets.
Secondly.... a globally competitive commercial environment underpinned by low operating costs
And finally.... supportive services and facilities designed to make it easier for global industry to do business in Abu Dhabi
These, we believe, are the critical success factors that will deliver growth and prosperity to our partners, and for future generations. In conclusion … we believe the rationale for Kizad presents a compelling business case that delivers great business value.
