Professor Amartya Sen. in an article The Industrial strategy wrote recently that it is hard to do effective and secure income-raising without substantial industrial expansion. "This works not just through direct income generation but also through its indirect consequences in energising an economy and generating new skills'. Agriculture is primary requirement, but not the power house of skilled employment. Perhaps after reading the article, many of my economist friends from abroad and inside the country, who belong to Assam yet lived outside the State, asked me whether would it be possible to kick start Assam's economy for greater interest of the people of Assam. My response was positive. Now the question arises as to why agriculture land reform is necessary for industrial development? Reform in agriculture land is a must because our society is slowly trying to graduate from agrarian economy to industrial economy now. In developed countries the process started long back. Even in countries like United Kingdom, Spain and Italy good agricultural land were released in favour of industries. Two decades ago China adopted the same model and was hugely successful. "China also had a terribly inefficient communal agriculture, and this combined with a general lack of democracy and is free media, was mainly responsible for the famines of 1958-61 which killed between 23 and 30 million people (the existence of this catastrophe is now denied only in Indian subcontinent, not in China or anywhere else).' The above views are not mine. It is the views of Prof Amartya Sen who wrote in an article published by a national daily. I would like to only forewarn if agriculture land reform is not taken up immediately Assam would experience the same fate which China experienced four decades ago. Now the question arises how the land reform needs to be addressed? Why it is necessary to address land reform in favour of industrialisation? Our new prescription for Assam's growth includes following: (1)tourism (2) real estates developments (3) health care (4) specialty agriculture viz. jatropha plantations and sugar cane development and Kadam tree and Agar cultivation, (5) power project. I quote the remark of Marc Faber, German born, Honkong based international economic scenario advisor "If India really wants to make development and achieve accelerated growth it has to address the problem of investment in travel and
