Location of the present study is Biharinath hill. It is situated in Bankura district of West Bengal.Principal aims of this study are to find out soil- geomorphological relationship, build up a suitable soil-geomorphological model, identification of soil-geomorphic units, their characteristics and finally to suggest suitable land use pattern based on soil geomorphological character. Geoinformatic techniques are used to find out geomorphological and land use land cover character. Statistical technique has been used to correlate soil and geomorphological attributes. This area has gone through complex geological history. Biharinath hill is the eastern extending part of the Chhotanagpur plateau, composed by deposition of Gondwana and Archean age. Significant relationship is found among elevation, slope and soil character of this area. Categorization of soil geomorphic unit according to slope segments as well as elevation changes has great significance in the present study. Conservation is needed in the elevated forest area. Foothill area is better to use for agriculture in scientific way and sustainable utilization of resource. Keywords : Soil geomorphology, Land use, Biharinath Hill, Bankura District Introduction Soil geomorphology is a scientific study of soil character according to change of geomorphological parameters such as elevation and slope. Integrated study on soil-geomorphology relationship and landscape evolution (Rios, et al. 2018) is an emerging research of contemporary geo-sciences. Various landscape units have their different assemblage landforms as the unique expression of the surface of the earth shaped by works of different geomorphic process on the parent rock. Re-shaping of the geological surface produces residuals. Those are playing an important and initial role for soil forming processes. Soil is produced from the parent rock (weathering residuals). Soil geomorphological evolution and characterization have great significance in land use (LU) and land cover (LC) pattern of a region. LU and LC characterization of an area depends on geomorphological and pedological character. Soil geomorphology is the scientific study of the * W. B. Govt. Approved CWTT, Department of Geography, Purash Kanpur Haridas Nandi College, Howrah email: [email protected] 6 INDIAN JOURNAL OF LANDSCAPE SYSTEMS AND ECOLOGICAL STUDIES VOL. 42 process of landscape evolution and its influence that these processes exert on soil formation and distribution on landscape (Goudie, 2003).The discipline of soil geomorphology deals with characterizing the relationships between soils and the landscape (Dolliver, 2019). The distinctive landforms produced by the various geomorphic processes, such as erosion, have a great influence on soil types and their distribution (De et.al, 1993; Gerred, 1993;Winsock, et al. 2011;Murphya and Duncanb, 2015). The study of pedogeomorphology provides a framework where the relationship between soil and landform is analyzed from the genetic point of view to synthesize the pedological and geomorphological information with an ecological understanding (Chatterjee et al., 2009).Pressure on land is increasing with rapid increase of population. The existing available land is being intensively utilized to meet the ever-increasing demand for food, shelter, grazing, industrial establishment, transportation and so on (Chatterjee and De, 2009).Attribute of land use depends on characteristics of land, elevation, slope, location of rocky outcrop, direction of insolation, rainfall, temperature, soil etc. Land use and land cover plays an important role to study about the geomorphology, soil character and resource potentiality of an area. Anthropogenic modification of land cover for utilization of resource is now-a-days common. It may have serious consequences like soil erosion, loss of biodiversity and destruction of ecosystem (Mas,1999; Zhao,. et al. 2004; Dwivedi, et al. 2005; Zsuzsanna, et al. 2005). Objectives of the present research are; (1) to study about geomorphology, soil character and their relationship, (2) to find out land use and land cover characterization, (3) to build up soil geomorphological model, (4) to categories soil geomorphic units and their character and (5) suggest proper land use planning on the basis of soil geomorphological character of the hill area. Biharinath hill is located in the Bankura district of West Bengal (Fig. 1). Latitudinal extension is 23o34/ N to 23o35/ N and longitudinally the hill is extending between 86o55/ E-86o57/ E. Maximum elevation of Biharinath hill is about 451 m. Foothill area of this hill can be denoted by 120m contour. Biharinath hill is covering about 2.4 sq.km area. Morphology and topography has great influence on soil character of this region Soil catena of this region is highly sensitive to geomorphic change. Elevation and slope are playing dominating factor for determination of thickness of surface soil and character of soil horizon. Soil forming factors and processes are highly influenced by elevation and slope. Soil geomorphology can play an important factor for land use and land cover of this region. Data and Methodd Present study can be broadly divided into three phases, as (1) pre-filed (preparation of research), (2) during field (collection of sample) and (3) post-field work activity (laboratory analysis, data evaluation and preparation of report). Laboratory analysis of samples have been done to find out pedological character. Geomorphological parameters (elevation, slope) have been analyzed by the application of geoinformatics. Statistical techniques have been used for establishment of soil geomorphological character. Samples have been collected by random sampling method according to change of elevation measured by altimeter and GPS receiver. Samples have been taken according NO. 1 SOIL GEOMORPHOLOGICAL MODEL AND ITS RELATION TO LAND USE PLANNING 7 Fig.1 Location of the study area 8 INDIAN JOURNAL OF LANDSCAPE SYSTEMS AND ECOLOGICAL STUDIES VOL. 42 to change of elevation and slope (Fig. 1.a) during winter (February,2017). Slope map has been prepared from remotely sensed elevation data (Table.1). Sample points are identified by GPS receiver. Two geomorphological parameters (elevation and slope) and several soil parameters (soil texture, structure code, permeability code, hygroscopic moisture, organic matter, pH, salinity and NPK) are selected for the present study. Land use and land cover map is prepared from remote sensing data (Table.1) with the help of geoinformatics software. Statistical techniques have been used for establishment of relationship among soil and geomorphological parameters.

Aided, University Affiliated and UGC Recognized College SALTORA NETAJI CENTENARY COLLEGE SHORT HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE The people of Saltora and adjoining blocks acutely felt the need of a Degree College at Saltora for a long time. As a step to that direction, a public meeting was convened in 1997 by a group of people which encouraged the organizers to proceed further for the establishment of a degree college. People from every walk of life promised all kinds of possible help. An organizing committee was constituted. It was decided that the proposed degree college be named as “SALTORA NETAJI CENTENARY COLLEGE” to show reverence and respect to our great national hero, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose on his auspicious birth centenary. Land, money and material came in the form of donation. The University of Burdwan granted affiliation and recognition to this co-educational institution from the session 2000–2001. The College started its journey with 58 students. At the very outset of the College, classes were held at Saltora Dr. B.C.Vidyapith. Thereafter college building was constructed and classes were shifted from Dr. B.C Vidyapith to the new campus in the month of May,2001.The college is currently affiliated to the Bankura University from the session, 2017-2018.The college is recognized under Section 2(f) & 12(B) of the UGC Act,1956.
