During the Financial year 2018 – 2019 Children Have Hope team has been working hard to fulfil the purpose of uplifting the poor and the needy children through social, physical and educational programmes. This year 325 Children have got the privilege to go to good schools and compete with the other children of the society. Many of them have achieved their goal and have come out with flying colours, whereas there are few who have been struggling in their academic performance.

  • The Land in Gorkhaland on the Edges of Belonging in Darjeeling, India
    The Land in Gorkhaland On the Edges of Belonging in Darjeeling, India SARAH BESKY Department of Anthropology and Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs, Brown University, USA Abstract Darjeeling, a district in the Himalayan foothills of the Indian state of West Bengal, is a former colonial “hill station.” It is world famous both as a destination for mountain tour- ists and as the source of some of the world’s most expensive and sought-after tea. For deca- des, Darjeeling’s majority population of Indian-Nepalis, or Gorkhas, have struggled for sub- national autonomy over the district and for the establishment of a separate Indian state of “Gorkhaland” there. In this article, I draw on ethnographic fieldwork conducted amid the Gorkhaland agitation in Darjeeling’s tea plantations and bustling tourist town. In many ways, Darjeeling is what Val Plumwood calls a “shadow place.” Shadow places are sites of extraction, invisible to centers of political and economic power yet essential to the global cir- culation of capital. The existence of shadow places troubles the notion that belonging can be “singularized” to a particular location or landscape. Building on this idea, I examine the encounters of Gorkha tea plantation workers, students, and city dwellers with landslides, a crumbling colonial infrastructure, and urban wildlife. While many analyses of subnational movements in India characterize them as struggles for land, I argue that in sites of colonial and capitalist extraction like hill stations, these struggles with land are equally important. In Darjeeling, senses of place and belonging are “edge effects”:theunstable,emergentresults of encounters between materials, species, and economies.

Man enjoys the beauties of nature and lives on them. But he also becomes a victim of the fury of nature. Natural calamities like famines and floods take a heavy toll of human life and property. Man seems to have little chance in fighting against natural forces. The topography of the district of Darjeeling is such that among the four sub-divisions, three sub-divisions are located in the hills where disasters like landslides, landslip, road blockade are often occurred during monsoon. On the other side, in the Siliguri Sub-Division which lies in the plain there is possibility of flood due to soil erosion/ embankment and flash flood. As district of Darjeeling falls under Seismic Zone IV the probability of earthquake cannot be denied. Flood/ cyclone/ landslide often trouble men. Heavy rains results in rivers and banks overflowing causing damage on a large scale. Unrelenting rains cause human loss. In a hilly region like Darjeeling district poor people do not have well constructed houses especially in rural areas. Because of incessant rains houses collapse and kill people. Rivers and streams overflow inundating large areas. Roads and footpaths are sub merged under water.

    CHAPTER VI LANDSLIDE AS AN AGENT OF RAYENG BASIN DEGRADATION 6.0 Scenario of landslides The landslides are one of the significant types of natural hazards. Massive landslides make trouncing of both creature existence and assets. Yet, people livelihood in the mountainous regions is habituated to survive with such events. With the augmented tourism over the precedent few decades, residential areas have been make bigger over mountainous slopes, which of course necessitate new communication system. This disturbs the usual slopes and an environment of the mountainous regions, in that way greater than ever susceptibility to landslide happening. Geomorphic studies of landslides take account of the assessment of vulnerability and causes responsible behind occurrences. Landslides are the most significant disparaging geomorphic process accountable for degradation of Rayeng Basin. Throughout intense rainfall, the weathering process is accelerated reducing schists and mudstones into silts and fine sands, and succeeding failure of these fine materials triggers landslides in the Rayeng Basin. 6.1 Methodology of study Study of" landslides of the basin incorporate, recognition of affected areas based on the field study and secondary data from earlier study. Intensive study has been made on the factors associated to landslides such as geology, slope angles, soil, climatic condition, hydrologic conditions, vegetation, and last but not the least i.e. human interferences in the basin. In this milieu, topographical maps, geological map, satellite imageries of the basin have been studied intensively. Meteorological data are collected. On the basis of several factors an effort has been made to prepare a landslides susceptible zones map of the study area.

  • Chapters Water Resource of the Balason Basin 8.1
    CHAPTERS WATER RESOURCE OF THE BALASON BASIN 8.1 Introduction The river Balason, originating from Lepchajagat at an elevation of 2416 m, flows through the district of Darjeeling, is noteworthy for its erosional and depositional hazards, causing occasional flood in its lower catchment The discharge of the river at Matigara, varies from a negligible amount of 0.409 cumecs during the dry season (March - April) to a high of over 940 m^/second during the rainy season (July-August). The mean annual sediment discharge is very high and it was estimated to be 87365 metric tons. The mean annual rainfell in the catchment area is 3359.81 mm, based on long-term average data of 22 rainfall recording stations situated within the catchment area. The Balason basin is unable to hold back water due to excessive deforestation, overgrazing and extensive unscientific agricultural use of land in its catchment area. As a result, most of the precipitated water goes down the slope, giving rise to severe soil erosion and landslips. The amount of load transported not only provides an indication of the rate of mechanical denudation in a basin, but also has wider implications for the economic management of the fluvial system. The river is incompetent to cope with the enormous amount of debris load that is transported to its lower course during the monsoon months (June-September). All these processes themselves generate certain responses within the river channel. Flooding is thus, the result of the continuous set of possible responses within the fluvial system. On the other hand, during the non-monsoon months (November to April) negligible amount of water flows through the narrow braided channel and this paucity of water hinders the local people from reaping any benefit out of the soil in a)njunction to the river itself.
