We have already ared and published our Plan according to sectors of development and now jreak up the Plan district-wise. This is necessary in order to educate public ion, encourage local initiative and obtain public Co-operation in the execution Ihe Plan. The National Plan and the State Plan are being prepared on annual basis within Framework of the Five-Year Plan in order to make necessary modifications and stments in the course of execution. Consequently the appropriate period District Plans would also be a year. We accordingly began preparing our rict Plans with particular reference to the first year against the background le Five Year Plan. Originally the intention was that such District Plans would repared every year. But from our experience in the works so far, it seems that aration of annual District Plans every year may not be possible under the ?nt circumstances. We have, therefore given in the following pages the dis- -wise break up of the Plan as a whole as far as available.

  • Devastating Flood and Disaster Management – a Case Study of Khanakul Block I & II; Arambag Subdivision, Hooghly, West Bengal, India
    ISSN (e): 2250 – 3005 || Volume, 09 || Issue, 8|| August – 2019 || International Journal of Computational Engineering Research (IJCER) Devastating flood and Disaster management – A case study of Khanakul Block I & II; Arambag Subdivision, Hooghly, West Bengal, India Souvik Das Department of Geography The University of Burdwan, West Bengal, India ABSTRACT: The flood in lower Gangetic region is a very common phenomenon in every year. In the study area Khanakul Block I & II, the devastating floods occur due to mainly release of huge amount of water from upper catchment river's barrage D.V.C and as a result destroying embankment of local rivers, in monsoon and late monsoon period. Maximum areas in these blocks are under flood prone. River Mundeswari and Darakeswar are main dominant for flood of these regions. Lack of proper management of channels, lack of consciousness and poor condition of embankments make disasters in this vulnerable zone. This paper has tried to show the condition of flood and its effect and how it can be managed properly. For the surveying work, this study has followed so many primary and secondary data from different kinds of sectors. Besides, this paper has also tried to evaluate the general effect of flood, identification of the flood affected region and process proper management.
