  • Chapter 6 Forest Communities & Cprs in the Hill Region
    Chapter 6 Forest Communities & CPRs in the Hill Region 6.1 Introduction The region to be studied lies within the Eastern Himalaya which is a biodiversity hotspot little explored as yet by Government scientific agencies like the Botanical Survey of India [BSI] and the Zoological Survey of India [ZSI]. This makes it an important conservation zone, with an approximate area of 15000 sq. km. of forests having already been committed to designated Protected Areas. However imposition of statutory control over regional forests has been accompanied by large scale diversion of forest lands to plantations, agriculture and urban settlement. Economic development has also been accompanied by high levels of immigration which have brought forests in the region under extreme pressure, threatening their very survival. Study of the status of property rights and the patterns of use of CPRs, woodfuels and other forest resources is thus expected to throw light on the interdependence of human communities, economic development and natural resources in a region of the Himalaya where significant forests still survive. By documenting forest access and CPR-use by the communities that live on the very edge of subsistence at the forest fringe~ we make an attempt to meaningfully contribute towards the operationalisation of sustainable development through the means of self-governing social control systems. The present chapter and the next are based on the case-studies undertaken in the two northern districts of Darjeeling and Jalpaiguri in West Bengal respectively. 6.1.1 Geographical Description and Position of the Darjeeling district. Darjeeling is a small district that lies between 26°31' and 27°13' North latitude and between 87° 59' and 88° 53' East longitude in the extreme north of the state of West Bengal in India.

In the true sense the Europeans were the harbinger in this field. Assam by far the foremost region in tea production was closely followed by Bengal whose tea producing areas included the hill areas and the plains of the Terai in Darjeeling district, the Dooars in Jalpaiguri district and Chittagong.

CHIRANJIB NAD. ABSTRACT: Out of the total landslide occurrences, nearly 20% are found in North Eastern region of India. The official figures of United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UN/ISDR) and the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED) for the year 2006 also states that landslide ranked third in terms of number of deaths among the top ten natural disasters, as approximately 4 million people were affected by landslides. Unless human death it poses serious damage on roadways, railways, buildings, dams and many natural resources with untold measure of ecosystem and human society. As transportation is a lifeline of a civilization and lack of self sufficiency of a region it hold an important place to meet daily needs of human beings of a region. The study route (NH 31 A, NH 55 and SH 12 A) of landlocked Darjeeling district is very much prone to landslide vulnerability. The black memories of previous massive landslide hazard took large impression on the inhabited society. Sometime the district remains isolated island due to breakdown of transportation for a stretch of days in the time of massive landslide along study route. The main objective of the study is to highlight/describe the present situation of landslide zone along three study route. The study also highlight the nature of landslide took place according to their vulnerability scale, type of movement, type of activity, type of distribution and lastly type of style for further management.

Of which one of the subdivision falls under plain area (Siliguri have been excluded, from the study. The rest of the three subdivisions viz. Darjeeling, Kurseong and Kalimpong form the universe of the study. These three subdivisions comprises of following eight blocks namely Pulbazar-Darjeeling, Sukhia-Jorebunglow, and Rangli Rangliot in Darjeeling subdivision, Mirik and Kurseong in Kurseong Subdivision and Kalimpong-I, Kalimpong-II and Gorubathan in Kalimpong subdivision. Siliguri has been excluded because it has separate entity and that it falls out of Hill development Programmed. Beside with the formation of the Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council in 1986 there has been much bifurcation of developmental programme. The hill area of the Darjeeling covers an area of 2417.25 Sq.Km. It accounts for 2.72% ofthe total area ofthe state of West Bengal. The Hill area lies between 26° 3 t' and 27°13' north latitude and between 87°59' and 88° 33 '. East longitude .. It is bounded by Sikkim in the North, Bhutan on the East, Nepal on the West, Dist of Jalpaiguri and Siliguri subdivision in the South 1.2 BRIEF HISTORY OF THE DARJEELING The history of Darjeeling hill areas begins with the acquisition of the hilly tract, measuring 138 sq. miles comprising areas from Pankhabari to Badamtam, for setting up health resorts by British for its employees from the Raja ofSikkim in 1835. The District acquired the present dimension in 1866 as a result of wars with Sikkim and Bhutan between the period 1850 and 1866 Origin of Name: The name Darjeeling is a corruption of Dorji, the precious stone or ecclesiastical sceptre, which is emblematic ofthe thunderbolt ofSekhra (Indra) and a 'ling' to denote Place.

  • 11 Employment Status and Human Development of Tea Plantation
    NRPPD Discussion Paper 11 EMPLOYMENT STATUS AND HUMAN DEVELOPMENT OF TEA PLANTATION WORKERS IN WEST BENGAL Namrata Thapa 2012 EMPLOYMENT STATUS AND HUMAN DEVELOPMENT OF TEA PLANTATION WORKERS IN WEST BENGAL Namrata Thapa 2012 4 ABSTRACT The tea plantation sector has been considered to be a major source of livelihood and employment for the population of the regional economies. Structural changes in this sector have led to the emergence of labour categories such as permanent estate workers, casual estate workers and self employed small tea growers. Several studies have attempted to understand the human development status of the plantation workers, without much regard to these existent categories. The paper has tried to understand the human development status, in terms of education, health and basic amenities, of the plantation workers classified as permanent, casual and self employed workers. The study uses a combination of secondary evidence on the employment pattern of the workers engaged in the estates, complemented by micro level data collected from the tea plantations of the Darjeeling district of West Bengal. The findings suggest that the casual workers who had lower employment status had lower asset ownership position and hence lower standard of living indicating their lower human development. However, contrary to the notion of permanent workers in an organised industry being better off in terms of employment status, asset position and hence better standard of living; it was observed that despite their employment status being relatively better than the casual workers and small growers, their asset ownership position and hence living standard was relatively poorer than the small growers.

  • Introduction
    1 CHAPTER! INTRODUCTION The tribal population is identified as the aboriginal in-habitants of our country. They are seen in almost every State of India. For centuries, they have been living a simple life based on the natural environment and have developed cultural patterns congenial to their physical and social environment. References of such tribal groups are found even in the literature on the ancient period, right from Ramayana and the Mahabharata periods. The 2001 census puts the Scheduled Tribes population at 83,580,634 constituting 8.2 percent of the total population of India. Among them about 80 percent live in the 'central belt', extending from Gujarat and Rajasthan in the west, and across the states of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Bihar, and Jharkhand and Orissa, to West Bengal and Tripura in the east. Most of the remaining 20 percent live in the north eastern states of Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, and Arunachal Pradesh and Sik:kim and in the Union Territories of Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Andaman Nicobar and Lakshadweep. A few of them live in the southern states of Kerala, Tamil N adu and Karnataka. Andhra Pradesh has the largest tribal population among the southern states of India. 1.1 Meaning of 'Tribe': The term 'Tribe' is derived from the Latin word 'tribuz'. Originally it was used to imply three divisions among the early Romans. According to the Oxford dictionary, "a tribe is a group of people in a primitive or barbarous stage of development acknowledging the authority of a chief and usually regarding them as having a common ancestor".

RinaMaiti Research Scholar, Department of Geography, Sri SatyaSai University of Technology & Medical Sciences, Sehore, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India Dr. L. Mishra Professor, Department of Geography, Sri SatyaSai University of Technology & Medical Sciences, Sehore, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India ABSTRACT This article projects a combined idea to avoid and stop a landslide issue in Darjeeling built on GIS and sensor system applications method. This method is made out of three vital components, landslide susceptibility mapping utilizing remote- detecting procedures for susceptible determination of landslide spots downsized landslide simulation tests for approval of sensor network for landslide monitoring and in situ sensor network deployment for strengthened landslide observing. The investigation catchment site is the landslide situated in Darjeeling. Landslides have dependably been a standout among the most catastrophic natural phenomena. Nonstop observing and cautioning as early as possible about the beginning of such fiasco may lead to ignore loss of human lives. With this point we have built up an observing framework organized as WSN furnished with extremely sensitive sensors equipped for estimating real time direction and magnitude of the landslide relocation. The sensors are put in request to quantify the accurate value about the parameter of the landslide. Here GPS is utilized as a part of request to decide the area of the landslide event.

    CHAPTER III Demographic Pattern in Darjeeling • Growth of Population o Introduction o Growth of Population in Darjeeling • Composition of Population • Distribution of Population o Distlibution of Population According to Sex o Rural and Urban Distribution of Population o Malital Status • Conclusions CHAPTER ill Demographic Pattern in Darjeeling 3.1 Growth of Population 3.1.1 Introduction Populations have a birth rate, that is, the number of young produced per unit of population per unit of time and a death rate, that is, the number of deaths per unit of time and a growth rate. The major agent of population growth is births, and the major agent of population loss is deaths. When births exceed deaths, a population increases; and when deaths exceed additions to a population, it decreases. When births equal deaths in a given population, its size remains the same, and it is said to have zero population growth. The rate of population growth is the rate of natural increase combined with the effects of migration. Thus a high rate of natural increase can be offset by a large net out-migration, and a high level of net in-migration can counter a low.rate of natural increase. Generally speaking, however, these migration effects on population growth rates are far smaller than the effects of changes in fertility and mortality. An important and often misunderstood characteristic of human populations is the tendency of a highly fertile population that has been increasing rapidly in size to continue to do so for decades after the onset of even ~ substantial decline in fertility.
