Inadequate food, health and care arise from food insecurity, unsanitary living conditions, low status of women, and poor health care (underlying causes). These are, in turn, caused by social inequity, economic challenges, poor political will and leadership to address these causes (basic causes). Interventions to address undernutrition must address these multiple causes of undernutrition and do so in an equitable manner.

    © 2019 IJRAR May 2019, Volume 6, Issue 2 www.ijrar.org (E-ISSN 2348-1269, P- ISSN 2349-5138) FLOOD DISASTER AND ITS IMPACT ON THE PEOPLE IN KOSI REGION, BIHAR Dr. Sanjiv Kumar Research Fellow Univ. Deptt. of Geography, T.M.B.U., Bhagalpur Introduction The Kosi, a trans-boundary river between Nepal and India is often referred to as the “Sorrow of Bihar”. The flow of the river contains excessive silt and sand, resulting in changing the courses of the river. During the past, the river has kept on changing its courses between Purnea district in the east and Darbhanga and Madhubani districts in the west. The recent disaster was created by the breach in the eastern Kosi embankment upstream of the Indian border at Kursela in the neighbouring Nepal on the 18th of August 2008. A tragedy of unparalleled dimension unleashed was over three million people living in 995 villages spreading in seven districts of Kosi region, viz. Supaul, Araria, Madhepura, Saharsa, Purnia, Khagaria and Katihar. Objectives: The purpose of the paper is to investigate the damage caused by the devastating floods due to the turbulent river Kosi recurrently and its impact on the socio-economic life of the people inhabiting in the region which is densely populated but with poor economy. The objective refers to the sustainability of an agricultural region to the occurrence of a natural disaster. The objective is to achieve in order to create a sustainable system in environmental, social and economic terms. The other objective aims to preserve or improve characteristics of the environment such as biodiversity, soil, and water and air quality.

  • Saharsa Introduction
    DISTRICT PROFILE SAHARSA INTRODUCTION Saharsa is one of the thirty-eight districts of Bihar. Saharsa district became a separate district in 1954 prior to which it was a part of Kosi division. The important rivers flowing through the district are Kosi, Baghmati. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Earlier Saharsa district was within the Bhagalpur Division. Kosi Division was formed on 2nd October 1972 comprising of Saharsa, Purnia and Katihar district with its head quarters at Saharsa. Formerly it had no independent status and parts of Saharsa were included in the old districts of Munger & Bhagalpur. Ancient Times: In ancient times, Vaishali was the strongest republic in North-Bihar and beyond that lay the famous territory of Anguttarap. There was a small Janpad, named Apna, in Anguttarap and it included a portion of the district of Saharsa. Various sites of the district, now completely eroded and destroyed by the Kosi, viz. Biratpur, Budhiagarhi, Budhnaghat, Buddhadi, Pitahahi and Mathai are associated with Buddhism Both Anga and North Bihar (including Saharsa) continued to be independent till the early part of the sixth century B.C Between 320 and 1097 A.D Under the Guptas (from 320 A.D.), the entire North Bihar was consolidated as a Tirbhukti (province) with its capital at Vaishali. The extent of Saharsa during the period under review was upto the confines of Pundravardhanbhukti which included some of its present area. From the geographical point of view, Saharsa was the most strategically suited from being the Jayaskandharar (temporary Capital) of the Palas at the time when they were surrounded on all sides by enemies.

  • The Bihar Flood 2008: Is It a Man-Made Disaster Or a Natural Hazard? an Analysis of the Bihar Flood with the Safety Chain
    International Journal of Agriculture, Environment and Bioresearch Vol. 2, No. 02; 2017 ISSN: 2456-8643 THE BIHAR FLOOD 2008: IS IT A MAN-MADE DISASTER OR A NATURAL HAZARD? AN ANALYSIS OF THE BIHAR FLOOD WITH THE SAFETY CHAIN Okuku Josephat Oloo1 and Ayuyo Isaac Ongong’a2 1 Moi University, P.O Box 3900 -30100 Eldoret. 2University of Nairobi, P.O. Box 30197 - 00100, GPO Nairobi. kenya ABSTRACT The Ganges-Brahmaputra Basin is one of the largest river basins in the world and extends a large area of Nepal, India and Bangladesh. The area is very vulnerable to floods due to the combination of heavy rains, high sediment load and tectonic activity. Although floods can result in more fertile soils, floods in the Kosi catchment resulted in extensive damage and the river is often called ‘the Sorrow of Bihar’. After severe floods in 1953-1954, social and political pressure resulted in a consensus between the Nepal and Indian government in the form of the ‘Kosi project’ which aimed at flood control and provide water for irrigation. The Kosi River is characterized by its strong meanders. Two spurs, respectively 12.1km and 12.9km from the Bhirmnagar Barrage at the Nepal embankments became eroded and damaged by the meandering river. The first signs of erosion of those embankments were recognized on 5 August 2008 as the embankment collapsed on 18 August 2008. The collapse of the embankment resulted in damage or destruction of houses, cultivated land and properties. Furthermore, there were many victims as people died or were displaced. There were heavy monsoon rains which resulted in a high discharge of the Kosi River.
