North Bengal accounts for 3,086 sq km (26 %) of the 11,876 sq km area of classified forests in the state, and for nearly 5,000 sq km (40 %) of all land under tree cover. Khumani is a Village (26.84o N, 88.60o E) in Gorubathan Block in Darjeeling District of West Bengal State, India. The survey work was done in December, 2014 by visiting the Khumani Forest Village (established in 1949) of upper Kumai and the primary data were gathered through field survey and direct contact with common people and authorized centers of the region. Surveys on the demography, agriculture, livestock management, water management, education, culture, health, waste management, disaster management, transport, biodiversity, human animal conflict were done in this area. Topographic map of the area was prepared by using the database of National Atlas and Thematic Mapping Organization (NATMO), Kolkata office. In every phase of the survey work, pictorial documentation was done. In spite of being positioned in a diverse and sensitive ecological zone, the village is not adequately managed.

  • Chapter Vi Landslide As an Agent of Rayeng Basin Degradation
    CHAPTER VI LANDSLIDE AS AN AGENT OF RAYENG BASIN DEGRADATION 6.0 Scenario of landslides The landslides are one of the significant types of natural hazards. Massive landslides make trouncing of both creature existence and assets. Yet, people livelihood in the mountainous regions is habituated to survive with such events. With the augmented tourism over the precedent few decades, residential areas have been make bigger over mountainous slopes, which of course necessitate new communication system. This disturbs the usual slopes and an environment of the mountainous regions, in that way greater than ever susceptibility to landslide happening. Geomorphic studies of landslides take account of the assessment of vulnerability and causes responsible behind occurrences. Landslides are the most significant disparaging geomorphic process accountable for degradation of Rayeng Basin. Throughout intense rainfall, the weathering process is accelerated reducing schists and mudstones into silts and fine sands, and succeeding failure of these fine materials triggers landslides in the Rayeng Basin. 6.1 Methodology of study Study of" landslides of the basin incorporate, recognition of affected areas based on the field study and secondary data from earlier study. Intensive study has been made on the factors associated to landslides such as geology, slope angles, soil, climatic condition, hydrologic conditions, vegetation, and last but not the least i.e. human interferences in the basin. In this milieu, topographical maps, geological map, satellite imageries of the basin have been studied intensively. Meteorological data are collected. On the basis of several factors an effort has been made to prepare a landslides susceptible zones map of the study area.

  • District Disaster Management Plan-2019,Kalimpong
    DISTRICT DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN-2019,KALIMPONG 1 FOREWORD It is a well-known fact that we all are living in a world where occurrence of disasters whether anthropological or natural are increasing year by year in terms of both magnitude and frequency. Many of the disasters can be attributed to man. We, human beings, strive to make our world comfortable and convenient for ourselves which we give a name ‘development’. However, in the process of development we take more from what Nature can offer and in turn we get more than what we had bargained for. Climate change, as the experts have said, is going to be one major harbinger of tumult to our world. Yet the reason for global warming which is the main cause of climate change is due to anthropological actions. Climate change will lead to major change in weather pattern around us and that mostly will not be good for all of us. And Kalimpong as a hilly district, as nestled in the lap of the hills as it may be, has its shares of disasters almost every year. Monsoon brings landslide and misery to many people. Landslides kill or maim people, kill cattle, destroy houses, destroy crops, sweep away road benches cutting of connectivity and in the interiors rivulets swell making it difficult for people particularly the students to come to school. Hailstorm sometimes destroys standing crops like cardamom resulting in huge loss of revenue. Almost every year lightning kills people. And in terms of earthquake the whole district falls in seismic zone IV. Therefore, Kalimpong district is a multi-hazard prone district and the District Disaster Management Plan is prepared accordingly.

Introduction variations range from 120m at Siliguri to as high as 3660m at The name Darjeeling is a corruption of dorje, the precious stone Sandakphu. or ecclesiastical scepter, which is emblematic of the thunderbolt of Sakhra (Indra) and of ling, a place and it means therefore the place of the dorje, the mystic thunderbolt of the Lamaist religion, this being the name by which the Buddhist monastery, which once stood on Observatory Hill, was formerly known [1]. By another thought, the name Darjeeling is derived from the corruption of Lepcha name Darjyu-Lyang meaning abode of the god and goddesses.

  • Development Programmes and Its Environmental Impact
    CHAPTER-S Development Programmes and its Environmental Impact 8.1 Introduction The early developer of Darjeeling identified appropriately that developing communication with rest of the country is the key to develop the newly annexed hitherto inaccessible te!Tain. The then Darjeeling hill area was mostly uninhabited only dotted with few settlements of Lepcha cmmnunity. The means of communication in Darjeeling hills up to 1835 were very rudimentary. A few narrow rough tracks through forests and occasional cane bridges over torrents were all that existed at the time of Grants memorandum of 1830 that mentioned only two routes then existing northward from the plains into Sikkim. One was the Nagree Pass and the other by the Sabbook Golah. A third route by the Mahananda was mentioned as having been deserted and over grown with jungle. The pioneers who came to poem up Darjeeling after it had been ceded in 1835 were confronted with an arduous journey from Calcutta before they reached the hills. The first step to introduce modern communication in the district was taken in Journey 183 8 when the trace of the Calcutta road to the east of the hill on which Jalapahar Cantonment stands now was completed by Lt. George Lloyd in 1839, Lt. Napier of the Royal Engineers was deputed to prepare a lay out of Darjeeling town and to constmct a road from Siliguri to Darjeeling. The project was ca1Tied out between 1839 and 1842, at an expenditure of rupees eight lakh and the road, latter known as the old military road. It is still seen winding its way from Pankhabari to Kurseong and then on to Dow Hill, Senchal and Ghum having 300 bridges and culverts.
