Brahmin Pandits were associated with intellectual literature discuss knowledge, to do religious oblation and worship. The city was fully surrounded by dense bamboo and marsh forest and tigers, wild pigs, foxes etc used live in this forest. This was the picture of Nadia during the end of 18th century.i There was a well-known rhyme- “Bamboo, box and pond, three beauties of Nadia”. Here ‘Nad’ means Nadia or Nabadwip.ii This district was established in 1786. During the partition, Nadia district was also divided. However, according to Lord Mountbatten’s plan 1947 during partition of India the whole Nadia district was attached with earlier East Pakistan. This creates a lot of controversy. To solve this situation the responsibility was given to Sir Radcliff According to his decision three subdivisions of Nadia district (Kusthia, Meherpur and Chuadanga) got attached with East Pakistan on 18th August, naming Kusthia district and the remaining two sub-divisions (Krishnagar and Ranaghat) centered into India with the name Nabadwip earlier which is now called Nadia. While studying the history of self-governing rule of Ndai district one can see that six municipalities had been established long before independence.

    CENSUS OF INDIA 1951 VOLUME VI WEST BENGAL, . SIKKIM & CHANDERNAGORE PART lA-REPORT A. MITRA of the Indian Civil Service, Superintendent of Census Operations and )oint Development Commissioner, West Bengal PuBLISHED BY THE MANAGER OF PUBLICATIONS, DELHI PRDftii:D By THE GoVERNMENT OF INDIA PRESS, CALCUTTA, INDIA, l953, Price : Rs. 18-4 or 19 sh. FEw PEOPLE ouTSIDE realise that census is an administrative operation of great dimensions and, in addition, it is a scientific process. ·Indian census, in particular, covers the largest population in the world and it is also one of the most economical administrative operations. Census as an institution goes back to the remote past, but• it is no longer a mere counting of heads ; it involves extraction of information which plays a vital· role in the determination of many of our administrative policies. The facts elicited during the course of this operation yield valuable ·scientific data of sociological importance. In many matters it provides a useful guide for the effectiveness or otherwise of our economic policies. The · theory of population is iii ifself an interesting part· of economics. The census helps us to test ·and adapt that theory to .facts. There is also another significant advantage which I should like to stress. Census affords an opportunity for Government to reach every home ·throughout the length and breadth of this country ; little hamlets in far off jungles or perched .on mountain tops alike feel with prosperous and easily accessible townships the beat and throb of a pulsating administration. It is also· one of the greatest achievements of honorary endeavour ; for instance, the process of enumeration would involve visits by over a million honorary ·enumerators to about 64 million homes inhabiting 350 million .

The papers examine, in different ways, the practices of the state and analyse the production of identities and subjectivities of the refugees and the ways they are institutionalized and differentiated from other subjects. As one paper mentions, the category of refugee emerges as the battlefield where specific identities and subjectivities are contested and forged in effective skirmishes of everyday life. The two studies on Cooper’s Camp can be labeled as micro-histories, but the strategy of recovering refugee experience in this fashion has been deliberately employed, not simply to restore subjectivity but also to recapture the agency of the refugee constructed through memory and other forms of self-representation.

  • The Effects of Caste System on the Education of Women: a Case Study of Ranaghat Ii C.D. Block in Nadia District, West Bengal
    [VOLUME 5 I ISSUE 3 I JULY – SEPT 2018] e ISSN 2348 –1269, Print ISSN 2349-5138 http://ijrar.com/ Cosmos Impact Factor 4.236 THE EFFECTS OF CASTE SYSTEM ON THE EDUCATION OF WOMEN: A CASE STUDY OF RANAGHAT II C.D. BLOCK IN NADIA DISTRICT, WEST BENGAL PINKI HIRA Guest Lecturer, Department of Geography, Krishnagar Women’s College, Nadia, West Bengal. Received: May 18, 2018 Accepted: July 03, 2018 ABSTRACT Jawaharlal Nehru said “If you educate a man you educate an individual, however, if you educate a woman you educate a whole family”. Education is the powerful tool for reducing discrimination and inequality. Education will also determine the prosperity, success and security in life. So, Education is in fact, an input not only for economic development but also for inner strength of the tribal communities which helps them in meeting the new challenges of life. In this study an attempt has been made to gauge the effects of caste system on the education of women of Ranaghat in Nadia District, West Bengal. Keywords: Caste system, Education, Inequality. INTRODUCTION: In India there are four specific castes: Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya and Shudra. One’s caste is therefore set in place at birth. The so-called ‘untouchables’, or the Dalits, exist below the caste system. Ritually and religiously, they are still considered impure and despite legal protection, they are generally not allowed to enter temples or use public places (Ram, 1998). They make up around 16% of India’s population. The caste system continues to determine political, social and economic life of the people in Hindu societies.

  • Impact of River Bank Erosion on Human Life: a Case Study in Shantipur Block, Nadia District, West Bengal
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention ISSN (Online): 2319 – 7722, ISSN (Print): 2319 – 7714 www.ijhssi.org Volume 2 Issue 8 ǁ August. 2013ǁ PP.108-111 Impact of River Bank Erosion on Human Life: A Case Study in Shantipur Block, Nadia District, West Bengal 1,Subarna Chatterjee , 2,Biswaranjan Mistri. ABSTRACT: River bank erosion has emerged to be one of the most dreadful environmental problems in India. The rivers Ganges, Son, Yamuna, the Brahmaputra, Chambal and Mahi, all are tough competitors when it comes to their bank erosion. Shantipur Block, Nadia District, West Bengal, the birthplace of Vaishnavism is among the worst preys of erosion of the river Bhagirathi-Hooghly and thousands of inhabitants are either displaced or suffered huge loss in the form of land, cattle and houses and thrown as destitute. This study was conducted with an effort on analyzing the impact of erosion on the socio economic lives of the poor villagers, their frequency of displacement, patterns of rehabilitation, their perception about the causes of erosion and the way they continuously try to adapt themselves to this anathema. I. INTRODUCTION River bank erosion, is the wearing away of bank materials of a river. It is a dynamic process affecting the concave side of the bank, while depositing sediments on the opposite side. Almost every Indian river is prone to bank erosion turning more than half of the country’s land affected and lives of millions deplorable. The river Bhagirathi-Hooghly, in West Bengal resorts to massive bank erosion at an alarming scale in Malda, Murshidabad, Nadia, Burdwan and Hooghly and contributes to a dominant irreparable loss of farm lands of a very high quality each year.

    LIVELIHOOD, POVERTY ERADICATION AND ROLE OF MICROFINANCE: A CASE STUDY OF TWO DISTRICTS IN WEST BENGAL A Thesis submitted to the University of North Bengal For the Award of Doctor of Philosophy in Economics By Sri Bhajan Chandra Barman Supervisor Dr. Sadhan C Kar Principal Dinhata College & Co-Supervisor Prof. K.K. Bagchi Department of Economics University of North Bengal October, 2016 Dedicated to My Beloved Parents Late Kshirod Ch. Barman & Late Sabitri Barman ABSTRACT The basic problem of our country is the problem of poverty and underutilization of the nationally cheap labour resource. India’s effort to eradicate poverty has a long history. As we have seen, since the inception of our planning exercise, that various antipoverty programmes were being undertaken for the poverty-stricken population to reduce their number who lie below the poverty line. However, we have seen that these programmes become a bundle of blossoms rather than blooming since the time of inception. We have had another important problem that also cope up side by side in our rural society is the minimal use of the working potentiality of the employable female adults. So long as these under-utilized rural female labour forces remained in under- utilization state, we will not bring any change in our rural society. The third problem that we like to point out here is the transitional aspect of our rural society that appears in the form of inter-state migration instead of traditional rural urban migration. This new kind of migration emerges in our rural society mainly because of the fact that we have failed to expand the good opportunity of livelihood before the rural employable adults.

It is a co- education college accredited B+ by NAAC after the First Cycle of Assessment. Initially the college was affiliated to the University of Calcutta, but its affiliation was transferred to the University of Kalyani afterwards. Since the college is situated near NH34, it provides an easy conveyance to students coming from adjacent villages and various towns. It may boast of opening the gateway to higher education to about fourteen thousand students. The students passing out from different boards get admitted to our college and they belong to different income groups and sections of society. It has a large playground, an auditorium and three well-built separate buildings for Arts, Commerce and Science faculty. The college is privileged with the recognition of University Grants Commission under Section 2(f) and 12B and receives the grants of UGC from time to time for its development. Vision Vision: Ranaghat College is situated at Ranaghat, a small town in the district of Nadia, in West Bengal. The district borders on Bangladesh and provided shelter to a large number of refugees after the partition of the country. There was little scope for higher education for commoners and mediocre students in this region previously.
