Sitai Police Station 177 FOREWORD The district census handbook (DCH), compifed by the Census Organisation on behalf of the State Governments, is one of the most valuable products of the Census. The DCH is constantly referred to by planners, administrators, academicians and researchers. It is infer alia used for delimitation of constituencies, formulation of local level and regional r plans and as an aid to District administration. The district census handbook is the only publication which provides Primary Census Abstract tPCA) data upto village level for the rural areas and ward­ wise for each city or town It also provides data on infrastructure and amenities in vHlages and towns, etc. The district census handbook series was initiated during the 1951 Census. It contained important census tables and PCA for each viUage and town of the district. During 1961 Census the scope of the DCH was enlarged and it contained a descriptive account of the district, admin istrative statistics, census tables and a village and town directory, including PCA. The 1971 DCH series was planned in three parts. Part-A related to village and town directory, Part-B to village and town PCA and Part-C comprised anafytical report, administrative statistics, district census tables and certain analytical tables based on PCA and amenity data in respect of villages. However, in some states it was confined to district census tables and in a few cases altogether given up due to delay in compilation and printing. While designing the format of 1981 DCH series some new features along with the restructuring of the formats of village and town directory have been attempted At the same time, comparability with the 1971 data has also been kept in view. All the amenities except power supply in the village have been brought together in the village directory with the instruction that in case an amenity is not available in the referrent village the distance in broad ranges from the nearest place where the amenity is available may be given The restructuring of tile format of the village dil'ectory and incorporating more exbaustive data on infras.... ructure aspect particularly in relation to alYlenities and land-use pattern is expected to further meet the need of micro level planning for rural areas. It is expected to help not only in local area planning but regulating the provision of goods and services as well so as to minimise the regional imbalances in the proces of development. A few new items of information have also been introduced to meet some of the requirements of the Revised Minimum Needs Programme. Such new items of information as adult literacy centres, Primary health subcentres, and community health workers in the village have been introduced in the village directory with this objective in mind. The new item on approach to the village is to have an idea about the viltages in the district which are inaccessible A new column, "total population and number of households" has been introduced to examine the correlation of the amenit;es with the population and number of households • they serve. Addition of two more appendices listing the villages where no amenities are available and according to the proportion of scheduled caste and scheduled tribe population to the total population has also been made with this view in mind. VI The formats of the town directory have also been modified to meet the requirements of the Minimum Needs Programme by providing information on a few new items.. A new state­ ment on civic and other amenities in slums in Crass_I and Class_II towns (Statement JV-A ) has been introduced with this objective in mind. It is expected that this will help the planners to chalk out programmes on provision of civic amenities for the improvement of slums. The columns on Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes population in statement IV relating to civic and other amenities and adult literacy classes/centres under educational facilities in statement V are also added infer alia with this view. A significant addition is class of town in all the seven statements of the town directory. The infrastructure of amenities in urban areas of the country can be best analysed by taking the class of towns into considerations. The addition of the columns on civic administration status and population in a few statements also serves this purpose. The format of the primary census abstract for the vjlJages and towns has. been formulated in the light of changes in the economic and other questions canvassed through the individual slip of 1981 Census. In order to avoid delay in publication of 1981 DCH series it has been so designed that Palt - A of the volume contains village and town directory and Part-B, the PCA of villages and towns including the Schedu led Cast~s and Scheduled Tribes PCA upto Police Station/Town levels. At the beginning of the DCH a detailed analytical not-9 supported by a number of inset tables based on PCA and non census data in relation to the infrastructure has been introduced to enhance its value. The distdct and Police Station level maps depicting the boundaries and other important features have been inserted at appropriate places, to further enhance the value of the publication. This publication is a joir.t venture of the State Government and the Census Organisation The data have been collected and compited in the state under the direction of Shri S. N. Ghosh,l A S, the Director of Census Operations, West Bengal on behalf of the State Govern­ ment which .has borne the cost of printing The task of planning, designing and co-ordination of this publication was carried out by Shri N. G. Nag, Deputy Registrar General ( Social Studies) of my office. Dr. B. K. Roy, Deputy Registrar General (Map) provided the technical guidance in the preparation of the maps. Data received from Census Directorates have been scrLtinised in the Social Studies DiVision at the headquarters under the guidance of Shri M.M. Dua. Senior Research Officer. I am thankful to all who have contributed in this project. P. PADMANABHA New Delhi - Registrar General, India the 26th April, 1982 PREFACE The District Census Handbook compiled by the Census Directorate, West Bengal, on beha~f of the Govt. of West Bengal, containing Census Statistics besides other invaluable data of importance for use by the State Govt, district administration, research scholars and various other data-users owes its origin to 1951 Census The present publication of 1981 Census is fourth in tha series. The Census of 1981 was conducted in February, 1981 with sunrise of 1 st March, 1981 as reference date under the stewardship of Shri S. N. Ghosh, Director of Census Operations, West J3engal. The credit for the success of the operation goes entirely to Shri Ghosh However, before the report could be finalised, Shri Ghosh had to resume his duties under the Govt. of West Bengal in public interest. The present publication is the product of his dedicated labour, immaculate planning and sterling administrative c apabilitie.s. Without the active involvement and inspiring leadership of Shri Ghosh, the present publication would have been a stlll, birth. The Census statistics in the form of Primary Census Abstract included in the publication relate to the district of Koch Bihar.

    Chapter-VII Conclusion - Future Directions - Suggestions ~-- VII.l. INTRODUCTION The present study has sought to make an analysis of the problems of urban development with a focus on urban habitat and levels of development in the district of Koch Bihar. Data and information collected for this purpose have been made available through interviews of the councilors and elected members, officials and the general people or citizens, on the basis of prepared questionnaires and also gathered from available primary documentary and secondary sources. The state of Koch Bihar, which once formed a part of ancient kingdom of Kamrupa, Khens, Koch has a great historical tradition. Even after the independence of India, Koch Bihar still remained a feudatory native state in political relation with the Govt. of India under Hindu King- the Maharaja of Koch Bihar. In January, 1950, Koch Bihar merged with the state of West Bengal is presently the farthest north-eastern border district of West Bengal adjacent to Assam and Bangladesh. The district forms six municipal towns and four census towns. Most of the towns situated along the rivers and the morphology of these towns are characterized by Government and public buildings, crossing roads, tanks or Dighis, parks, bus stop, shop and establishments, markets or bazaar, playground and temples etc .The urban population in different towns in the district has grown steadily. Except Mekhliganj, the district of urban population becomes high to very high (5001 - 9000 per 2 km ). This is due to the flock of the people from the country side to towns for inadequate . of job opportunities and other facilities like education, medical services, water supply, conservancy and the migrants come from Bangladesh for political disturbances.

  • Size Distribution of Urban Centres Across North Bengal During 1991 to 2011
    [VOLUME 6 I ISSUE 2 I APRIL – JUNE 2019] e ISSN 2348 –1269, Print ISSN 2349-5138 http://ijrar.com/ Cosmos Impact Factor 4.236 Rank – Size Distribution of Urban Centres across North Bengal during 1991 to 2011 Dr. Arindam Basak Assistant Professor, Department of Geography & Applied Geography, University of North Bengal Received: February 05, 2019 Accepted: March 28, 2019 ABSTRACT: North Bengal has witnessed lack luster urbanization and growth of urban centres till 2011. Given its geographical coverage, the number of urban centres in North Bengal was only 45 in 1991 and 48 in 2001. However, in 2011 the number of urban centres in North Bengal suddenly increased to 131 which is quite stupendous compared to previous years. This sudden increase in the number of urban centres affected the rank-size distribution of urban centres across North Bengal. In this paper an attempt has been made to calculate the rank-size distribution of urban centres across North Bengal during 1991, 2001 and 2011 and to analyze the effect of a huge increase in the number of urban centres over the system of city-size distribution in this region. Key Words: North Bengal, Urbanization, Urban Centres, Rank-Size distribution. Introduction If urban centres are arranged according to their population size in a particular region they are related to one another. The population of the second largest urban centre will have half the population of the largest or primate city, the third largest urban centre will have 1/3rd population of the largest urban centre of the region. This relationship between the population of any urban centre and its rank in a set of urban centres of a region is called the rank-size rule.

  • Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Urbanisation in Cooch Behar District, West Bengal, India
    International Journal of Innovative Social Science & Humanities Research ISSN: 2349-1876 (Print) | ISSN : 2454-1826 (Online) SPATIO-TEMPORAL ANALYSIS OF URBANISATION IN COOCH BEHAR DISTRICT, WEST BENGAL, INDIA Mithun Ray, Dr. Shasanka Gayen, Dr. P.K. Ryngnga, Junior Research Fellow, Associate Professor, Assistant Professor, Department of Geography, Department Of Geography, Department of Geography, North-Eastern Hill University Cooch Behar Panchanan North-Eastern Hill University, Shillong, Meghalaya, India Barma University, Shillong, Meghalaya, India Cooch Behar, West Bengal, India. ABSTRACT Urbanisation has been viewed as an important factor in the areas of economic, social and environmental transformation of any region. High level of inter district disparity of urban development in West Bengal recommends importance to the study related to district level urbanisation. The main objective of the present study was to evaluate the spatio-temporal phase of urbanisation in Cooch Behar district by analysing census data in the form of level of urbanisation, urban growth differential, scale of population concentration and Eldridge Index. It is found that like other districts of West Bengal, Koch Bihar also has seen a remarkable urbanisation process during last few decades. Although the level of urbanisation is always below the state and country level. The maximum growth was recorded during the decade of independence due to huge amount of immigration. In terms of spatial variation Cooch Behar-I and II blocks are more urbanised than others. The population concentration in and around Cooch Behar town is maximum because of socio-economic and administrative viability. Keywords: urbanisation, spatio-temporal phase, scale of population concentration, Eldridge index. INTRODUCTION population, control of natural environment, technological development and development of social organization (Datta, 2006).

  • Chapter-Ill Demographic Characteristics 111.1
    I Chapter-Ill Demographic Characteristics 111.1. INTRODUCTION ; The term "Demography" has been derived from two Greek words meaning 'Demos' or the people to draw or write. Thus literally speaking, demography is concerned about writings concerning the people. Peter R. Cox has said, "It is sometimes argued that certain branches of population analysis should be -dif?tinguished from others by a separate title. Philip M. Hauser and Dudly Duncan said "Demography is, the study of the size, territorial distribution and composit~on of population, changes therein, and components of such changes, which may be identified as naturally, mortality, territorial movement (migration) and social mobility (change of status). According to Donald J. Bogue, "Demography is t4e mathematical study of size, composition and social distribution of human populations. According to Frank Lorimer, "Demography is an elaborate study of population. S. N. Agarwala S(;lid, "Demography deals with analytical interpr~tation"of population dynamics and composition, which covers a wider area. In the words ofDonald J Bogue, "It is the study of the growth distribution, redistribution of the population within a community, state economic area or other local area. This includes both numerical and compositional .~spects and is performed by using meaningful sub divisions of conimunity or local areas ... " So, Demography is a scientific analysis to achieve knowledge of the size, organization and distribution of the population, to de~cribe the past evaluation of population to enquire into the trend of population and its relationship with different aspects of social organization and to prediyt the future demographic evaluation and its probable consequences of different field of study.
