The DCH is constantly referred to by planners, administrators, academicians and researchers. 1t is Inter 01,0 used for delimitation of constituencies, formulation cf local level and reglonal plans and as an aid to District administration. The district census handbook is the only publication which provides Primary Census Abstract (PCA) data upto village level for the rural areas and wardwise for each city or town. It also provides data on infrastructure and amenities in villages and towns, etc. The district census handbook series was initiated during the 1951 Census. It contained important census tables and PCA for each village and town of the district. During 1961 Cen,sus the scope of the DCH was enlarged and it contained a descriptive account of the district, administrative statistics, census tables and a village and town directory, including PCA. The 1971 DCH series was planned in three parts. Part-A related to village and town directory, Part-B to village and town PCA and Part-C comprised analytical report, administrative statistics, district census tables and certain analytical tables based on PCA and amenity data in respect of villages However, in some states it was confined to district census tables and in a few cases altogether given up due to delay in compilation and printing. While designing the format of 1981 DCH series some new features along with the restructuring of the formats of village and town directory have been attempted At the same time, comparability with the 1971 data has also been kept in view. All the amenities except power supply in the village have been brought together in the village directory with the instruction that in case an amenity is not available in the referrent village the distance in broad ranges from the nearest place where the ametity is available may be given. The restructuring of the format of the village directory and incorporating more exhaustive data on infrastructure aspect particularly in relation to amenities and land-use pattern is expected to further meet the need of micro level planning for rural areas. 1t is expected to help not only in local area planning but regulating the provision of goods and services as well so as to minimise the regional imbalances in the process of development. A few new items of inrormation have also been introduced to meet some of the requirements of the Revised Minimum Needs Programme. Such new items of information as adult literacy centres, Primary hetth subcentres, and community health workers in the village have been introduced in the village directory with this objective in mind. The new item on approch to the village is to have an idea about the villages in the dictrict which are inaccessible. A new column, "total population and number of households" has been introduced to examine the correlation of the amenities with the population and number of households they serve. Addition of two more appendices listing the villages where no amenities are available and according to the proportion of scheduled caste and scheduled tribe populdtion to the total population has also been made with this view in mind. VI The formats of the town directory have also been modified to meet the requirements of the Minimum Needs Programme by providing information on a few new items. A new state­ ment on civic and other amenities in slums in Class-I and Ciass-ll towns (Statement IV- A ) has been introduced with this objective in mind. It is expected that this will help the planners to chalk out programmes on provision of civic amenities for the improvement of slums. The columns on Scheduled Castes and Schoduled Tribes population in statement IV relating to civic and other amenities and adult literacy classes/centres under educational facilities in statement V are also added lOfer olio with this view. A significant addition is class of town in all the seven statements of the town directory. The infrastructure of amenities in urban areas of the country can be best analysed by taking the class of towns into considerations. The addition of the columns on civic administration status and population in a few statements also serves this purpose. The format of the prtmary census abstract for the villages and towns has been formulated in the light of changes in the economic and other questions canvassed through the individual slip of 1981 Census. I n order to avoid delay in publication of 1981 DCH series it has been so designed that Part-A of the volume contains village and town directory and Part B. the PCA of villages and towns including the Scheduled Castes ond Scheduled Tribes PCA upto Police Station/ Town levels. At the beginning of the DCH a detailed analytical note supported by a number of inset tables based on PCA and non census data in relation to the infrastructure has been introduced to enhance its value. The district and Police Station level maps depicting the boundaries and other important features have been inserted at appropriate places, to further enhance the value of the publication. This publication is a joint venture of the State Government and the Census Organisation. The data have been collected and compiled in the state under the direction of Shri S. N. Ghosh, I A S, the Director of Census Operations, West Bengal on behalf of the State Government which has borne the cost of printing. The task of "planning, designing and co-ordination of this publicaiion was carried out by Shri N. G. N~g, Deputy Registrar General ( Social Studies) of my office. Dr. B. K. Roy, Deputy Registrar General ( Map) provided the technical guidance in the preparation of the Illaps. Data received from Census Directorates have been scrutinised in the Social Studies Division at the headquarters under the guidance of Shri M. M. Dua, Senior Research Officer. I am thankful to all who have contributed in this project. P. PADMANABHA New Delhi Registrar General. India the 26th April. 1982 PREFACE The District Ce~sus HandBook complied by the Census Directorate, West Bengal, on behalf of the Govt. of West Bengal, containing Census Statistics besides other invaluable data of importance for use by the State Govt., district administration, research scholars and various other data-users owes its origin to 1951 Census. The present publication of 1981 Census is fourth in the series. The Census of 1981 was conducted in February, 1981 with sunrise of 1st March, 1981 as reference date under the stewardship of Shri S. N. Ghosh, Director of Census Operations, West Bengat The credit for the success of the operation goes entirely to Shri Ghosh. However, before the report could be finalised, Shri Ghosh had to resume his duties under the Govt. of West Bengal in public interest. The present publication is the product of his dedicated labour, immaculate planning and sterling administratIve capabilities. Without the active involvement and inspiring leadership of Shri Ghosh, the present publication would have been a still birth.

  • 38 Chapter-Ii Geographical
    CHAPTER-II GEOGRAPHICAL BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY AREA 2.1. Introduction: Study Area is the prime concern of any research especially in a spatial science like Geography. It is the place, based on which, the researcher carries out in-depth study and data collection. A discussion on the study area is fundamental as it helps in understanding the contextual background of the area under investigation. Mead defined study area as “the geographical studies pursued in a well-defined area” (Mead, 1969). Generally, a research is conducted within or beyond an area delimited by political or physical boundaries. However, it is sometimes difficult to delineate a study area as it may stretch beyond either of the boundaries. The study area is the geographic framework within which the field work is conducted, and thus its exact areal extent must be determined to focus and further define the purposes of the research. As the present research is based on the Geo-environmental study of the wetlands of Tufanganj and Koch Bihar Sadar subdivisions within Koch Bihar District, the study area and subsequent data collection have been confined to four community development blocks, namely Tufanganj-I, Tufanganj-II, Koch Bihar-I and Koch Bihar-II. Thus the main focus of the present chapter is on the historical background, physical and socio-economic background as well as the administrative jurisdiction and geographic location of Koch Bihar District. 2.2. Historical Background: Etymologically, ‘Koch Bihar’ or ‘Cooch Behar’ has been derived from two words- ‘Cooch’ and ‘Behar’. While the word ‘Cooch’ is a corrupted form of the word ‘Koch’ that signifies an indigenous mongoloid tribe, the word ‘Behar’ is derived from Sanskrit word ‘Vihara’, which means ‘abode’, or ‘sport’.

  • Worship of Balarama in Coochbehar: a Historical Study
    Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bangladesh (Hum.), Vol. 60(1), 2015, pp. 79-90 WORSHIP OF BALARAMA IN COOCHBEHAR: A HISTORICAL STUDY Bijoy Kumar Sarkar* Abstract The worship of Balarama, the elder of Krishna was very popular in the Kamta- Koch Kingdom; he is still worshipped independently or along with Krishna in a number of temples in Coochbehar. However, he still remains utterly untouched historically and independently as he should have been. An attempt has been made here to study the background, nature and extent of Balarama’s worship in the Coochbehar State along with exploring out the causes of its immense popularity. The question of Balarama’s worship as one of the Vyuhas and/or of the Avataras or something else has also been addressed. Keeping in view the simultaneous worship of Balarama and Manasa on special occasions, their relationship in popular concept has also been investigated. We have consulted the original source materials complementing with relevant secondary sources and undertaken field trips to explore the issue. It is found that Balaram’s identity as a patron of agriculture and a deity of fertility - Hala (ploughshare) being his most distinctive weapon and Halayudha as his nomenclature – contributed considerably to his popularity among the pre-dominantly agricultural people of the Kamata-Koch Kingdom. The history of Vishnu-worship may be traced in Kamarupa from early times in light of erection of a cave temple for Balabhadrasvamin in the 5th century A.D. In Kamarupa and Kamata-Koch Kingdom, the Bhakti movement, known as Neo- Vaishnavism, was launched by Sankaradeva.

  • A Survey on the Unique & Composite Temples of Cooch Behar From
    Karatoya: NBU J. Hist. Vol. 11 ISSN: 2229-4880 A Survey on the Unique & Composite Temples of Cooch Behar from (17th to 19th century) Dr. Sudash Lama 1 & Arka Acharjee 2 Abstract: Temple in India is considered as an abode of God Almighty, a centre of reverence. The Hindu temple, in more than one sense, epitomises the numerous sides and complex processes of the cultural development of Hinduism through its architecture. The major temple styles listed and described in the “Vāstuśāstra” texts are the Nāgara, Drāvida and Vesara. All the available texts are agreed on the point that the Nāgara style was prevalent in the region between Himalayas and Vindhyas. So, geographically Bengal belongs to the school of Nāgara style and Bengal temple architecture in its initial phase chiefly followed the Nāgara style though the process of the consequent development of Nāgara style can be traced through various regional schools, of which the major ones were Orissa (Kalinga style) & Central India (Mahoba style). But from the 17th Century, the history of Indian temple architecture witnessed the beginning of a distinct Bengal school which consisted of a series of parallel unique temple styles by which Bengal hold an important status in the architectural atlas in India. From the 17th to 19th Centuries Bengal may be categorised as a province that behold several innovative architectural styles. In this connection a noticeable point may also to be noted here that though Cooch Behar is a part of Bengal, stylistically this part also shows its architectural uniqueness by consuming and admixing various local and also general attributes.
