Secretary-1 addresses opening ceremony of Kantin Bilin
Dam

Yangon, 21 April - Secretary-1 of the State Peace and
Development Council Lt-Gen Khin Nyunt addressed the
opening ceremony of Kantin Bilin Dam built by
Construction-9 of the Irrigation Department under the
Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation at the pandal
near the dam in Minhla Township, Bago Division (West),
this morning.

On arrival at the dam by helicopter, the Secretary-1
and party comprising the ministers, the deputy
ministers, officials of the State Peace and
Development Council Office, heads of department and
officials, were welcomed by Chairman of Bago Division
Peace and Development Council Commander of Southern
Command Brig-Gen Aung Min, Minister for Forestry U
Aung Phone, Commander of No 66 LID Col Aung Tun,
Chairman of Bago Division Peace and Development
Council West Branch Col Soe Nwe and officials.

The Secretary-1 said that the Government is
systematically implementing plans to build dams,
reservoirs and sluice gates at the possible areas in
Bago Division with the aim of developing agriculture,
a main business in the division. Thonze Dam was opened
in Thayawady Township in January 2002, Paingkyone Dam
in Kawa Township in February and Bawbin Dam in
Gyobingauk Township in March. Today, Kantin Bilin Dam
is going to be opened in Minhla Township. In view of
this fact, how immense the goodwill of the Government
towards the people in Bago Division can be measured.

Arrangements are being made to ensure the abundant
supply of water for the agriculture sector on which
the people of Myanmar rely. This means that the
Government is practically striving to improve the
socio-economic life of the people.

The building of dams and reservoirs for the
agriculture sector, the main pillar of the State
economy, contributes to successful cultivation of
crops, extension of farmlands and the boosting of crop
yield.

Although some dams and reservoirs seem small in size,
they are of great benefit to local people. This being
the case, the Government is employing various possible
ways and means for availability of water.

As the Government is building clusters of small- and
medium-sized dams in the regions, irrigated areas can
be extended and become contiguous. Evidently, this
brings good benefits to the local people in the
region.

Therefore, the Government is building not only big
dams and reservoirs but also clusters of small-and
medium-sized dams and reservoirs which cost more money
and are not economically beneficial. The Government is
doing so out of sheer goodwill and to promote the
interest of farmers.

In the agriculture sector, the State can rely on Bago
Division where various kinds of crops grow well.

It is found that the farmers in Bago Division are
successfully growing paddy, cotton, sugarcane and peas
and beans, all of which are designated as the main
crops by the State.

After Ayeyawady Division, Bago Division cultivates and
produces paddy most in the entire nation. I plenty of
water can be supplied and more cultivable lands can be
extended, it can become invariably a division which
plays an important role in the agriculture sector.

The building of dams and reservoirs to develop the
agriculture sector in Bago Division not only
contributes to the regional development but also
brings benefits to the State and the people.

Bago Yoma mountain ranges are situated in the centre
of Bago Division. In the rainy season, rivers and
creeks which are in floods emerge in the eastern and
western parts of Bago Division. The Government is
building clusters of dams and reservoirs on these
rivers and creeks with the aim of cultivating paddy,
peas and beans, sugarcane, cotton and oil crops all
the year round. This can be beneficial to local
farmers.

In the same way, sluice gates have been built in the
region of Bago Division where floods occurred and sea
water flowed in before. Moreover, wetlands have been
reclaimed. In this way, arrangements have been made to
boost paddy yield.

In the time of the present Government, dams and
reservoirs including Kantin Bilin Dam built in Bago
Division total 31.

The Government spent K 16,661.70 million on building
these 31 dams and reservoirs, which can irrigate
453,770 acres of land in Bago Division.

In the entire nation, there are 133 dams including
Kantin Bilin Dam built in the time of the present
Government. A total of K 54,913.70 million was spent
on constructing 133 dams, which can supply water for
1,920,919 acres of land.

Today, in accordance with the guidance of Head of
State Senior General Than Shwe, five rural development
tasks  betterment of transport in rural areas, supply
of water in rural areas, improvement of education and
health standard of rural people and development of
rural economy including agriculture and livestock
breeding.

Construction of dams and reservoirs contributes
directly to two development tasks  supply of water for
irrigation in rural areas and development of rural
economy, and also helps improve the education, health
and social standard of local people.

At a time when the Government is striving for the
development of rural areas, local people need to work
harder so that their businesses including livestock
breeding and agriculture will be successful and their
living standard will improve.

They also need to make best use of water from dams and
reservoirs and to work harder for the development of
the agriculture sector by extending cultivable lands
and cultivation of crops including monsoon and summer
paddy and boosting crop yield.

They need to carry out livestock breeding work on a
manageable scale as well as agricultural work, and
thus improve their economic and social life.

At a time when the Government is systematically
implementing plans to improve the standard of
education and health in the region, local people need
to cooperate so that their children will become
outstanding educated persons and they themselves are
in fit and healthy condition.

For the development of the region, the Government has
built development infrastructures such as dams, roads
and bridges, and local people need to maintain these
infrastructures and use them in the most beneficial
way.

In addition, they need to carry out the tasks which
are within their capacity such as maintenance of the
irrigation system and construction of rural roads.

In conclusion, the Secretary-1 urged all the local
authorities, personnel of departments concerned,
farmers and local people to maintain Kantin Bilin Dam
and to work hard for the improvement of living
standard of rural people so that rural areas are
developing with momentum.

He also exhorted local people to work diligently and
take innovative measures in striving for the further
improvement of their economic and social life and to
help one another in the agriculture sector.

Minister for Agriculture and Irrigation Maj-Gen Nyunt
Tin said the rural development tasks are being
implemented with momentum under the guidance of the
far-sighted Head of State. Kantin Bilin Dam is now
seen as a permanent proof that irrigation projects are
also being undertaken in a short time in order to
achieve progress in rural-based agricultural economy.

He said 24 clusters of dams from western and eastern
parts of Bago region make Bago Yoma beautiful and they
also make environment green. Moreover, the dams bring
about progress of agricultural process, he said.

Valuable land, water, human resources and better
climate created by the nature are opportunities for
success of the agriculture, he said. Thanks to Head of
State Senior General Than Shwe's noble goodwill
towards the people and guidelines for utilization of
these opportunities for long-term interest, the dams
and irrigation projects have emerged as fruits of
development in the agricultural sector, he added.

Utilizing agricultural infrastructure, the Ministry of
Agriculture and Irrigation has been implementing plans
for local food sufficiency, supply of raw materials
needed in local industrial sector, promotion of
agricultural export, increase of income, development
of the agricultural sector based on private sector and
building of industrialized nation, he said.

Paddy, beans and pulses, maize, cotton and sugarcane
are major crops. Land, water, machine power, strains
and technology are being utilized for local edible oil
sufficiency and boosting production of industrial
crops after the establishment of agricultural special
zones, he said. Now there are over 39 million of sown
acreage. Over 16 million acres of paddy produced 1,067
million baskets, 7.6 million acres of beans and pulses
over 790 million baskets, over 0.6 million acres of
maize 20.8 million baskets, 0.73 million acres of
cotton 85.2 million vises, 0.4 million acres of
sugarcane 7.2 million tons and 6.6 million acres of
oil crops 0.4 million tons.

He said preparations are to be made for 2002-2003 crop
cultivation season. According to the plan, 16.4
million acres of paddy, 7.7 million acres of beans and
pulses, 0.76 million acres of maize, 0.89 m million
acres of cotton, 0.5 million acres of sugarcane and 7
million acres of oil crops are to be cultivated. The
minister spoke of the need for officials to exceed the
targets.

He said there are irrigation projects in the west
region of Bago Yoma. There will be no worry about
water and production also is also increasing.

He urged local farmers to implement the projects for
increased production of five major crops in accord
with the objectives of the State after effective
utilization of water. Then, Chairman of Bago Division
Peace and Development Council Commander of Southern
Command Brig-Gen Aung Min said: Bago Division is
agro-based one. Out of total area 9,737,043 acres,
3,100,347 acres is used for agriculture. In 2001-2002
fiscal year, 2,378,121 acres of monsoon paddy, 10,932
acres of monsoon pulse and beans, 121,868 acres of oil
crops, 92,766 acres of sugarcane, 29,831 acres of
cotton, 1,233,899 acres of cold season pulses and
beans, 182,714 acres of cold season oil crops, 8,894
acres of kitchen crops and 174,035 acres of summer
paddy could be cultivated. In agriculture sector, net
product worth 59,298 million kyat could be
manufactured up to the end of March, 2002. It
represents 98.3 per cent performance of the target. It
is 6.3 per cent more than that of last year. Although
there are enough cultivable land in Bago Division, it
could not be put to use to full capacity. Cultivable
land and water is essential for successful
cultivation. Plenty of water can be available in the
rainy season in Bago Division and it is dry in summer.
It can be called "lots of rain but water scarce
Division". There was only North Na Win dam before the
Tatmadaw government. Now, a total of 30 dams are
contributing towards cultivation on 423,770 acres of
land. Moreover, nine dams and one sluice gate are
under construction. On completion, they will be
beneficial to agricultural work on 635,761 acres of
land. 7,524-foot long, eighteen-foot high Kunthitabin
embankment was constructed to prevent low lying areas
along the Ayeyawady river from erosion, a regular
threat every year. The project was finished on 31
March 2002 within four months. Shan Kaing and Paing
Kyon sluice gates have been constructed in Waw,
Thanatpin and Kawa townships to prevent from entering
salty water through Sittaung and Bago rivers. Tawa
sluice gate is under construction at present and will
be commissioned into service soon. Dams have been
constructed on all the creeks that flow from the Bago
Yoma. Therefore, it can be said that the goodwill and
endeavors of the government have been perfect without
any loophole. It is a task for me and the farmers in
Bago Division to reciprocate the gratitude we owe.

At the opening ceremony of Bawbin Dam held on 24 March
2002, Secretary-1 of the State Peace and Development
Council Lt-Gen Khin Nyunt called for construction of
drains between farms by local people for full
utilization of the dams. Drains of irrigation system
of Zaungtu dam in eastern part of Bago Yoma, South Na
Win and We Gyi dams in western part of Bago Division
are being constructed under the arrangement of local
authorities concerned. Full utilzation of the
remaining dams will further be implemented.
Afterwards, on behalf the local people, Secretary U
Kyaw Tun Soe of Minhla Township USDA spoke words of
thanks.

Later, the Secretary-1 presented prizes to Deputy
Director U Kyaw Myint Hlaing and Assistant Director U
Aung Kyaw Moe of Irrigation Department for the service
personnel who took part in constructing the dam.

Next, the Secretary-1 unveiled the stone plaque of the
dam. Then, Commander Brig-Gen Aung Min and Minister
Maj-Gen Nyunt Tin formally opened the dam. Secretary-1
and party posed for documentary photographs together
with local people, students and service personnel of
the Irrigation Department in front of the archway. The
Secretary-1 inspected the main dam and control tower
before the ceremony ended. After the ceremony, the
Secretary-1 heard reports on conditions of the dams in
western part of Bago Yoma, future plans, construction
work and irrigation from Kantin Bilin dam presented by
Commander Brig-Gen Aung Min, Minister Maj-Gen Nyunt
Tin and the director-general of the Irrigation
Department. Kantin Bilin dam is located near
Kywemagaing village on the upper reaches of Thekaw dam
in Minhla Township, Bago Division. It is an earthen
one and 1,110 feet long and 123 feet high. It will
irrigate 25,000 acres of land. The dam is 31st of the
dams and sluice gates opened in Bago Division and
133rd in the whole country.
