Our Story
“Bhavada Devi Memorial Philanthropic Trust “SENEH” is a Public Charitable Trust working for the benefit of the Ignored, Disregarded, Overlooked, Oppressed, Depressed, and Underprivileged and Deprived section of the society especially women of North East India.”
North East India has the lowest per capita holding of cultivable land in the country. Recurring floods which inundate vast areas every year further shrink fertile land availability because of silting. Being primarily an agrarian economy, with hardly any discernible industrial growth, the condition of the common man in the countryside is appalling. Large influx of Bangladeshi immigrants in last millennium has further shrunk the availability of cultivable land in the state.
The immigrants have occupied the fertile riverine areas that were the main sources of agricultural income to the indigenous people. The indigenous peasantry that lived for generations on the bounties of nature are no match for the hardy Immigrants. The state of the economy of the North East States can be gauged from the fact that the GDP of the undivided state, which was more than ten times the rest of the country seventy five years back, has shrunk to one of the lowest now.One of the fall out of this state of affairs is the gradual disintegration of the traditional family values and social ethos and probably even the harmony.
