Ujjal Roy Research Scholar (T.M.B.U), Department of Geography. Abstract: Hazard is a harmful incident for human life which can destroy so many precious things like crops, houses, cattle, others wealth like money, furniture, valuable documents and human lives also. So many hazards are happens like earthquake, tsunamis, drought, volcanic eruption, floods etc for natural reasons. Global warming, human interferences increase those incidents of hazard. Flood is a one of the hazard which basically happens for natural reason but human interferences increase the frequency and depth of this which is very destructive for human society. Nadia is a historically very famous district lies between 22053’ N and 24011’ N latitude and longitude from 88009 E to 88048 E, covering an area of 3,927 square km under the State of West Bengal in India but regular incidents of floods almost every year in time of monsoon is a big problem here. Unscientific development works from British Period hamper the drainage systems of Nadia and create many incidents of flood in colonial period. Still now millions of people face this problem in various blocks of Nadia. Development in scientific way, preservation of water bodies & river, dig new ponds & canals, increase awareness programme between publics, modernise flood warning system, obey the safety precaution rules in time of flood can save the people from this hazard.

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.

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.
