  • Chapter 6 the District of Cooch Behar 6.1. a Profile of the District : 6.1.1
    Chapter 6 The District of Cooch Behar 6.1. A profile of the District : The district of Coach Behar having an area of 3,368 square kilometer and 21,58169 populatioi1 accoi·ding to 1991 census is an industrially backward zone. Most of the people belong to the economically weaker sections and backward communities who suffer from deep socio-economic misbalance of devel9pment. Situated in the north and north-east of the state of West Bengal in India, the district of Coo~h Behar finds itself the gateway to the state of Assam, with two neighbouring countries like Bhutan in the north and Bangladesh in the South. 6.1.1 The plight of the people in Cooch Behar deserves special attention for more than one reason. The district is washed by more or less 22 rivers, which multiply the sorrows of the rural re'ople as the rivers frequently change courses thereby causing floods and devastations. There is dumping of sand by the riverside, frequent soil erosion wipitg the irrigated land and affecting the agricultural economy and ch~'elling places of the rural people. 6.1.2. The district is predominantly rural. 92.32 percent of the population of the district lives in the villages. The people of the scheduled castes and scheduled tribes are 52 percent. Agriculture forms the principal source of income. But the production is traditional. There is lack of.irrigation facilities. 107 There are no large, medium or agro-related industries in ·the district. Among the people, only 32.15 percent belong to the workers. There is no regulated common market for the farmers producing the principal agricultural crops like jute ·and tobacco.

  • Chapter 2 Geo-Historical Profile of North Bengal
    Chapter 2 Geo-Historical Profile of North Bengal “North of the main branch of the Ganges, now known as Padma and west of the Brahmapurta lies the extensive region” of North Bengal “which embraces the modern Rajshahi Division and the state of Cooch Behar.” 1 The present-day taxonomic geography of North Bengal is not only a geographical expression but a historical development of a geo-historical concept which came to being (as North Bengal) in a process of transition in different forms like Poundra or Poundrabardhan, Gouda, Varendra, Uttariya, Uttardesa, Kamtabihar. Professor Ananda Gopal 14 Ghosh showed the process of terminological transition of North Bengal in his monumental work “Uttarbanga Namer Sandhane”2 In the early phase of colonial rule the term ‘Northern Bengal’ was used geographically, which later on changed into ‘North Bengal’. However, during the middle phase of colonial rule it took intellectual conception. During post-colonial or post- independent phase it came to be used as a geo-cultural entity. The territorial geography which hovered in our sight with the name of ‘North Bengal’ is the six districts of northern part of our present-day West Bengal such as Malda, Darjeeling, Jalpaiguri, N. Dinajpur, S. Dinajpur and Cooch Behar. But as the period of my discussion is up to 1991 and till then instead of North and South Dinajpur, West Dinajpur was there for which I shall use West Dinajpur. It may be mentioned here that ‘Darjeeling’ and ‘Jalpaiguri’ as districts were not in existence during pre-British period in Bengal, as they were created during British rule in a transitional politico-administrative process of the period.

    Rec. zool. Surv. India: 104 (Part 1-2) : 1-25, 2005 WETLAND FAUNAL RESOURCES OF WEST BENGAL- 4. DARJILING AND JALPAIGURI DISTRICTS N. C. NANDI, K. VENKATARAMAN*, S. BHUINYA, S. R. DAS AND S. K. DAS Zoological Survey of India, M-Block, New Alipore, Kolkata-700 053, India INTRODUCTION During 1996-97 and 1997-98, two surveys were undertaken to study wetland faunal resources of Darjiling and Jalpaiguri districts, representing the fourth report in the series. The significance of lhis survey lies with the fact that Darjiling and Jalpaiguri districts represent the hills and the terai­ duars regions respectively. The narrow winding gorges of mighty rivers in the majestic Himalayan ranges run down the duars region forming marshy swamps along the valleys and the terai plains. The wetland habitats of duars region particularly of Jaldapara Wildlife Sanctuary of Jalpaiguri district are the abode of wild animals (Spillet, 1967). But, game animal is usually rare in wetland environs of Darjiling district. Studies on faunal resources of wetlands in West Bengal mostly pertain to Calcutta and its adjoining districts of South Bengal (De et al., 1989; Ghosh, 1990; Nandi et ai., 1993, 1999, 2001a, b). Very little is known on wetland fauna of North Bengal except the study on trophic structure and physical characteristics of some lentic habitats by Dasgupta (1995). Largely for this reason the present study was undertaken from Darjiling and Jalpaiguri districts representing the hills and the terai-duars region of North Bengal. THE STUDY AREA General: The districts of Darjiling and Jalpaiguri fall under the broad physiographic division, the Himalayan and sub-Himalayan West Bengal.
