This paper gives some basic characteristics of the population of Bihar as on 1st March, 2001 (00.00 hrs.) as recorded during the population enumeration related with the Census of India 2001. These figures are only provisional ones, compiled on the basis of the abstracts of population data prepared by the enumerators. These provisional population figures are being published with the intention of meeting the immediate need of the Government, various organisations, researchers and the general public. It would help provide them the basic population figures as quickly as possible after the population enumeration work has been completed. At this stage our intention is not either to interpret from these data or to draw conclusions from them, both of which shall have to await the preparation of the detailed Tables based on the final figures. Care has been taken, however, to highlight some of the striking features of these provisional figures wherever they have been noticed and effort has been made to mention them at appropriate places. Census operations in India is one of the largest administrative exercises of its kind any where in the world. Such a mammoth and gigantic exercise has been possible only with the whole­ hearted co-operation of the entire administrative machinery as well as the active participation of all sections of the society. The credit for collection of census data must go to the multitude of Enumerators, Supervi­ sors and all officials involved with census work in the state. Under testing circumstances, the entire administrative machinery involved in census work came out with flying colours, completing the job at hand with quiet efficiency and great speed. All the District Magistrates, Districts Census Officers, Additional Districts Census Officers, Subdivisional Census Officers, Assistant Subdivisional Census Officers, Charge Officers and Assistant Charge Officers have wonderfully risen to the occasion and have proved beyond doubt that nothing is impossible for them. I make a special mention of their efforts because of the fact that not only did they have to cope with the numerous administrative problems arising out of the bifurcation of the state of Bihar (into Bihar and Jharkhand) on the 15th of November, 2000, midway through the Census of India 2001, but also had to simultaneously handle the herculean task of making all preparations for the ensuing panchayat elections which were slated to be held for the first time after 1978. Normally, either Census or Panchayat elections alone would have been quite a handful for any state administration ; ·but here in Bihar, the administration was in the unenviable position of having to handle both at the same time. These people, in spite of heavy odds, have worked tirelessly and it is only because of their superhuman efforts that these operations could be carried out successfully and in time. I am grateful to Shri S.N. Biswas and Shri V.S. Dubey, the then Chief Secretaries; Shri Mukund Prasad, present Chief Secretary; Shri Shankar Prasad, the then Secretary and Shri K.A.H. Subrahmanian, the then Land Reforms Commissioner and Commissioner·Cum-Secretary, Rev­ enue and Land Reforms Department: Shri D.P. Maheshwari, the present Land Reforms Commis­ sioner and Commissioner-Cum-Secretary, Revenue and Land Reforms Department: Shri Pratyush Sinha, the then Finance Commissioner; Shri N.K. Agarwal. lhe present Finance Commissioner and Shri Bhanu Pratap Sharma, the present Additional Finance Commissioner, from whom I received unstinted support and guidance. I am also grateful to the members of my own organisation for all the strain they took in planning the work and making the conduct of census smooth and successful. While many of them, as the Directorate's representatives in all the districts of Bihar, had to stay away from their families for weeks together, those who stayed back in the headquarters, had to work extremely long hours, extending to even twenty four hours at a stretch in case of some. Without help and guidance from these senior professionals, the old and efficientcensus hands; without a wonderful sense of dedica­ tion to duty as well as great team effort among all the officers and staff members, this task would have become impossible to achieve. Some retired officers, who had very kindly agreed to associate with us during Census of India 2001 as Census Advisors, were also a source of strength, inspiration and encourageme~t. At this moment, I also wish to thank the Officers and staff ·from the office of the Registrar General and Census Commissioner of India as well as from certain other Directorates who have given me invaluable guidance and support for which I shall ever remain grateful. People of Bihar who extended aU the co-operation and support to the census officials includ­ ing enumerators and supervisors, deserve my special thanks. Words of praise are due to the All India Radio, Doordarshan and other electronic media as well as print media, who helped us carry the message of Census to the people effectively. Before concluding I must express my personal indebtedness to Shri J.K. Banthia, Registrar General and Census Commissioner of India whose affectionate guidance was a source of inspira­ tion at every stage of this gigantic operation.

The study was assigned to M/s Economic Development Trust (EDT), New Delhi. A brief account of the study is presented in this chapter. 9.1 The project proposal The Kosi-Mechi intrastate link project envisages diversion of 7,825 MCM of Kosi water from existing Hanuman Nagar Barrage on Indo-Nepal border to Mechi river (a tributary of Mahananda) about 1.5 km upstream of its confluence with Mahananda river in Makhanpur village of Kishanganj district of Bihar state. The proposed link canal offtakes from the left side (eastern side) of the barrage near Hanuman Nagar at FSL 74.371 m and outfalls into Mechi river at FSL 54.239 m. The total length of the link canal is 117.50 km. This link canal will cross number of streams/rivers, road and railway lines for which 9 canal syphons, 14 syphon aqueducts, 42 road bridges and 9 hume pipe culverts have been proposed. 28 head regulators, 10 cross regulators and 3 escapes have also been provided for the link canal regulation. 9.2 Project justification Bihar is India's most flood‐prone state, with about 76% of the population in north Bihar living under the recurring threat of flood devastation.

  • Kishanganj Introduction
    DISTRICT PROFILE KISHANGANJ INTRODUCTION Kishanganj district is one of the thirty-eight districts of Bihar. Kishanganj district is a part of Purnea division. Kishanganj is situated in the northeastern part of Bihar and is is part of the chicken neck on the map of India. Kishanganj has an international border with Nepal and a narrow strip of 20 km land of West Bengal separates Kishanganj district from Bangladesh. Kishanganj district is surrounded by the districts of Araria and Purnea of Bihar, districts of Uttar Dinajpur and Darjeeling of West Bengal and Nepal in the north. The important rivers flowing from the district are Mahananda, Kankai, Mechi, Doictnk, Ratua, Ramzan and Sudhani. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Kishanganj is the distortion of the name Krishna-Kunj. During the Mughal period, Kishanganj district was the part of Nepal and was known as Nepalgarh. Nepalgarh was captured during the reign of Mughal Emperor Shah Alam and renamed as Alamganj in his honour. Khagara was made the administrative headquarters and the historical "Khagra Mela" is held here every year. During the Mughal rule under Nawab Mohammed Fakiruddin, a wandering Hindu saint refused to enter Amanganj despite being very tired because the names of the place, river and Nawab were Alamganj, Ramzan and Fakiruddin respectively. When the Nawab heard this grievance of the itinerant saint, he announced that some portion of land would be renamed as Krishna-Kunj. With passage of time, the name Krishna-Kunj got distorted to Kishanganj. Kishanganj was earlier an important sub-division of the erstwhile Purnea district and became an independent district on 14th January 1990.
