Upendrapur village, situated on the vulnerable left bank of the river Sankosh in Kokrajhar, Assam, faces threats posed by ongoing riverbank erosion. This tender-funded project for anti-erosion measures aims to protect the village’s physical environment and its inhabitants from the adverse impacts of soil and land loss due to erosion.
By implementing these civil works, the local government intends to strengthen riverbanks, which will prevent or reduce the erosion that often leads to displacement of families, loss of agricultural land, and disruption of local economies. Such infrastructural interventions enhance safety, provide long-term security for community assets, and contribute to the resilience of the village against natural disasters.
The project plays a direct role in sustaining the social and economic fabric of Upendrapur by mitigating risks related to river dynamics. These measures also underscore the government’s commitment to environmental stability and infrastructure development in Assam’s flood-prone regions, providing tangible assurance to citizens about their safety and the preservation of their land.
