Impact assessment is the process of identifying the anticipated or actual impacts of a development intervention, on social, economic and environmental factors. An impact assessment study was carried out at Ambassa,Balaram and Morachera clusters of Dhalai district, Tripura during 2013 under NAIP project to evaluate and validate indigenous 'Improved Pig Farming Technology' (intervention) for enhancing production, profitability and competitiveness in agro ecosystem of disadvantageous areas of NEH region.Ex-post design covering both qualitative and quantitative data through random sampling and purposive selection method was taken for collection of Primary data for both treated and control groups of household farmers respectively. Primary data of fifty samples covering the above intervention are analysed for components of partial budgeting parameters. Net income from unit area was Rs.18515 for treated compared to Rs 4162 from control. B/C ratio of Treated: Control is worked out to be 0.66:0.28. Partial budgeting parameters like estimated costs, returns, net income and profit are found favourable for the Intervened Technology compared to the existing farming practices. The impact of Pig rearing Technology can be guessed from the fact that the productivity, employment generation and income has increased considerably. Livelihood opportunities have also increased in the area. Beneficiaries and family members are fully engaged in pig rearing/farming, marketing and associated activities. Assessment criteria like Relevance, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Impact and Sustainability for the Intervention are discussed in details. Finally, based on economic performance and feedback from various stakeholders it is recommended that to continue the programme for long term social and economic benefits.
