The district lies between 25 degrees 11'N to 26 degrees 49' N and longitude 87 degree 49' E to 90 degree 00'E. Uttar Dinajpur is surrounded by other districts of West Bengal like Darjeeling district and Jalpaiguri district to the north, Dakshin Dinajpur to the south, Bangladesh to the east and Bihar to the west. The district is made of two sub-divisions known as Islampur and Raiganj. There are several sanctuaries that are maintained by the state government. The main one being the Raiganj bird sanctuary is famous as it is one of the largest in Asia. Area: 3,142 km² Administrative division: Jalpaiguri division Lok sabha constituency: Raiganj Major highways: National Highway 31, National Highway 34 The district is famous for its rich alluvial soil and the thick forest. There are various industries set up here. Around 9 large scale and medium scale industries are flourishing. The district is rich in agriculture produce as well. Dahuk, Kulik river flows through the Chopra block. Mahananda River flows through the Chopra block. Mahananda River comes from Bangladesh and again goes to Bangladesh through Kumarganj and Balurghat blocks. The river flows from North to South. CLIMATE It is Hot in summer. Uttar Dinajpur summer highest day temperature is in between 30°C to 44°C in the month of April/May and lowest in January between10-50C.

The highest rainfall occurs in July. (l) Mineral Reserves/ Resources:- 7 Paschim Dangapara Sand Mine AREA- 6.05 HECT/14.95 ACRES Total Geological reserve 540000 cum & mineable/permissible reserves 90874.50 cum has been estimated. These mineable/permissible reserves are replenished every year after monsoon has been envisaged. As such the life of the mine will continue based on the replenishment of sand every year hence it is a continuous process, therefore, envisaged that life of mine will be for 5 years and subsequent lease renewals. The estimation of the reserves has been drawn on the basis of actual measurement of length & breath (area of the sand bed) of river bed falling within the lease hold area & multiplied by thickness of sand bed .up 3 m for total reserve (Geological Reserve) & after considering the safety zone of 7.5 m & replenishment of sand the depth has been worked out 1.87 m.

  • Transboundary Cooperation for Water and Related Issues in South Asia
    SHIFTING LANDS, FLOWING WATERS: Transboundary Cooperation For Water And Related Issues In South Asia International Roundtable Proceedings and Abstracts Date: 16-19th March 2021 Organised by National Institute of Disaster Management (NIDM) Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) Oxfam India INTRODUCTION Ever since the beginning of civilization, water has been the essence of life on earth. It has sustained activities related to agriculture, energy, industry, and several modes of livelihoods. However, the increasing population across the world, burgeoning domestic priorities, and multiplying developmental demands are placing growing pressure on water resources. Added to the already existing challenges of managing the water resources are the risks posed by climate change. In specific regional context of South Asia, the management of water resources and water governanceare interlinked with geopolitics, demography, and challenging socio-cultural and economic constraints. Understandably, the past, present and future of the countries of South Asia are rooted in the equitable sharing of resources. The governance and utilization of transboundary rivers of South Asia pose growing risks for water scarcity, degrading quality of water, floods, and inequitable access to water for the ripariancommunities. It is to be noted here that transboundary rivers are complex to govern because they often involve concerns related to national security, sovereignty and territoriality. The decision-making with regard to transboundary waters is dominated by a group

    Culture survival for the indigenous communities with reference to North Bengal, Rajbanshi people and Koch Bihar under the British East India Company rule (1757-1857) Culture survival for the indigenous communities (With Special Reference to the Sub-Himalayan Folk People of North Bengal including the Rajbanshis) Ashok Das Gupta, Anthropology, University of North Bengal, India Short Abstract: This paper will focus on the aspect of culture survival of the local/indigenous/folk/marginalized peoples in this era of global market economy. Long Abstract: Common people are often considered as pre-state primitive groups believing only in self- reliance, autonomy, transnationality, migration and ancient trade routes. They seldom form their ancient urbanism, own civilization and Great Traditions. Or they may remain stable on their simple life with fulfillment of psychobiological needs. They are often considered as serious threat to the state instead and ignored by the mainstream. They also believe on identities, race and ethnicity, aboriginality, city state, nation state, microstate and republican confederacies. They could bear both hidden and open perspectives. They say that they are the aboriginals. States were in compromise with big trade houses to counter these outsiders, isolate them, condemn them, assimilate them and integrate them. Bringing them from pre-state to pro-state is actually a huge task and you have do deal with their production system, social system and mental construct as well. And till then these people love their ethnic identities and are in favour of their cultural survival that provide them a virtual safeguard and never allow them to forget about nature- human-supernature relationship: in one phrase the way of living.

ABSTRACT Kulik river of barind tract of Indo-Bangladesh has been experienced significant channel migration and avulsion. Frequent shifting of channel invites instability in life and livelihood pattern of the people concerned astride. So, it is very necessary the migratory behaviour of the channel, its zone of wandering and its consequences on land loss and land building. This study mainly intends to find out migration behaviour of the channel since 1951 to 2014, delineation of channel migration zone and assessing land building and land loss in very recent times. For capturing migration behaviour, indices like dynamic channel shifting index, index of channel shifting asymmetry and lateral stability index have been used. Historical channel migration zone has been identified overlying all the previous courses and land loss and build has been detected comparing channel courses of two phases. From the analysis, it is found that channel course is frequently migrates over time and reach specific variation does exist. Total area under historical channel migration zone is 82.679787sq.km; average width of this zone is 1.34km. Both area and width of the lower reaches are usually greater than upper reaches. Both land building and land loss have been running simultaneously but net land loss is 66.46% which is of great concern to the river bank dwellers.

  • Spatial Association of Wetlands Over Physical Variants in Barind Tract of West Bengal, India
    Available on line at: p ISSN: 2354-5844 http://ijwem.unlam.ac.id/index.php/ijwem e ISSN: 2477-5223 Spatial Association of Wetlands over Physical Variants in Barind Tract of West Bengal, India Rajib Tarani Das and Swades Pal University of Gour Banga, Malda, West Bengal, India ABSTRACT Barind tract of west Bengal is an uplifted old alluvial plain area where only <1 percent area is covered by major wetland. The present paper concentrates on general understanding of wetland association with different geographical settings like geological, geomorphological lithological structures and altitudinal gradations. Another purpose of the research is to find proximity of wetland to river in the study area. To find associationship of wetland with various topographical setting, simple overlay technique is applied such as wetland overlay on geological map, morphological map, and relief map etc. Buffer analysis within 2 km radius along the major has been drawn to show wetland proximity to river. Detail investigation reveals that geological and morphological structures do not have deep influence on wetland formation and their distribution is not biased in any particular favourable sub-region. But altitudinal control on wetland distribution is noticeable. Maximum wetlands are concentrated in low altitudes. Similarly, about 40% wetland is found within 2 km width from major rivers which shows good proximity of wetland to river. An irregular distribution of wetland is found throughout the region because of multi parametric influence on it. In recent decades wetlands in Barind tract has been undergoing into rapid loss. Continuous encroachment of agricultural field and newly built-up area to wetland are considered as main causes of wetland loss in Barind tract.

    FIRST CIRCULAR WEST BENGAL GOVT. SPONSORED NATIONAL SEMINAR ON LIVELIHOOD CHALLENGES AND SPATIAL TRANSFORMATION IN INDIA March 24-25, 2017 Convener Professor (Dr.) Ranjan Roy Professor & Head Department of Geography, Raiganj University Organising Secretary Dr. Nuruzzaman Kasemi, Associate Professor Department of Geography, Raiganj University Estd. 2015 Organised by Department of Geography Raiganj University Dist. Uttar Dinajpur, West Bengal Pin. 733 134 Focal Theme Livelihood Challenges and Spatial Transformation in India According to the United Nations population projection (medium variant), India will be the most populous country by 2045, superseding China. India is the second largest country in the world with an awesome population of 1.2 billion. More than a two third of this is living in rural areas. There was a net growth of 18.8% in rural population during the 1991-2001 decade, which has decelerated to 12.2 % in 2001-11. Obviously this change is strengthening growth in urban population. Although this number was merely higher in 2001 (72.2 %), still the rural magnitude of population is high enough which needs more and more attention of planners and Governments to caring and catering to its needs and growth. Population growth and urbanisation has had major impact on livelihoods in India. Climate change is no more an environmental concern. It has emerged as the biggest environmental concern as well as threats to the livelihood of the people. It is serious threat to human security and national economy also. The recent instances of displacement across the country met with vehement resistance bears testimony to the peoples struggle and keenness to protect environment and their livelihoods.

Block, Uttar Dinajpur District, West Bengal: A Case Study Mr. Joyjit Debnath M Phil Scholar, Department of Geography, Raiganj University, Uttar Dinajpur Abstract: The wetness area is known as wetland. The floral and faunal diversity are very interesting in the wetlands. Civilization, Business and Population grow along with the wetland. Different types of wetland found throughout the world. Natural and artificial wetland is the main types of wetlands. Riverine wetland is one of them. Old river channel, cut-off are the example of Riverine wetland. The Riverine wetlands are situated in the flood plain region. Periodic flood is the main cause to develop the Riverine wetlands. The study area comes under the flood plain region. Meandering Kulik is the main River in the study area. Old River channel, cut-off types Riverine wetlands are also formed in the study area by this River. The water of these wetlands is stagnant. The habitats use the stagnant water throughout the year. Function and values of wetlands in the study area are so important. Local water quality, local geomorphic process, local economy, local weather is also depending on these types of wetlands in the study area. Key words: Wetland, Riverine Wetland, Flood plain, Economy. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date of Submission: 21-08-2018 Date of acceptance: 04-09-2018 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I.
