Since, it is expected that there must have been changes in these indicators since 2001, a baseline survey has been conducted to formulate the multi-sectoral development plan keeping in mind the latest deficits and priorities. • Paschim Champaran is not only a minority concentration district but also a backward one. District Profile (2001 census-based) • In 2001, the population of Paschim Champaran district was 27.33 lakhs and 89 per cent of the population was living in the rural areas. • Scheduled Caste population is 15 per cent in the district, which is slightly less than the State figure of 16.4 per cent. • Villages of the district have proportionately more primary schools (76.8 per cent) than the State average (72.6 per cent). There are 58 secondary schools in the district. There is one industrial and training school in the district. This district has a literacy rate of 39.63 per cent. • Less than one-third of the villages of Paschim Champaran district have Public Health Centres (PHCs) within 5 kms. The tap and tube well drinking water facility is available in a very negligible proportion of the villages of the district. On the whole, the health and drinking water facilities are very inadequate in the villages. • Work participation of the population of Paschim Champaran district is 39 per cent; whereas the average work participation rate for the State of Bihar is just above one-third. i Survey findings (2008) Our survey is confined to rural areas of Paschim Champaran district. It shows that the rural areas of the district lag behind in all eight indicators. The most glaring gap is found in case of percentage of households that have electricity or pucca walls or safe drinking water or water closet latrines. Socio-economic indicators, i.e. literacy rate and work participation rate, are lower for the district as compared to All India averages, as can be seen in Table 1. The actual gap will be higher for the district as the national figures pertain to the years 2004-05 and 2005-06. Table 1: Development Gaps and Priorities for the Multi-sector Plan Sl Indicators Paschim All India Development Development No Champaran 2005 gaps between priorities All India based and District on the gaps 1 2 (3=1- 2) 4 1 Rate of literacy 59.8 67.3 -7.5 5 2 Rate of female literacy 48.4 57.1 -8.7 4 3 Work participation rate 35.91 38.0 -2.09 6 Female work participation 4 rate 20.26 21.5 -1.24 7 Percentage of households 5 with pucca walls** 28.18 59.4 -31.22 3 Percentage of households 6 with safe drinking water 91.39 87.9 3.49 8 Percentage of households 7 with electricity 13.12 67.9 -54.78 1 Percentage of households 8 with water closet latrines 5.96 39.2 -33.24 24 Percentage of fully 9 vaccinated children 34.88 43.5 -8.62 Percentage of deliveries 10 in a health facility 15.76 38.7 -22.94 Note: (1) Survey data of the district (Col. 1) pertain to the rural area only, but All India data (Col. 2) pertain to the total. (2) Data in Col 2 from Sl. No. 5 to 10 pertain to the year 2005-06 from NFHS-3 and the rest of the data in Col. 2 pertain to the year 2004-05 from NSSO. ** This includes semi-pucca houses as well. Development Priorities as per Eight Indicators: Electricity Availability of electricity remains the most critical gap. Only a small proportion of the households (13 per cent) have electricity, of them 12.5 per cent and 13.65 percent are Hindu and Muslim households respectively. The district lags behind the All India figure by a huge 54.86 points in this regard. ii The Rajiv Gandhi Rural Electrification Mission (RGREM) targets universalization of electricity connections to rural households by the end of 2009 and there is a memorandum of understanding between the Government of Bihar

  • India: Patna (Bihar) Hospital PPP
    Public-Private Partnership Impact Stories India: Patna (Bihar) Hospital PPP Located in eastern India, Bihar is a low income state (LIS) with around 104 million people. According to the Government of India (GoI), over half the population is Below Poverty Line (BPL). In addition, the public health services in Bihar face severe constraints, especially lack of affordable specialty/tertiary care services. There are substantial gaps in health sector infrastructure and essential health requirements, including qualified staff, equipment, drugs, and consumables. As a result, people in the state have to travel to other states for their treatment. To help the state govern- ment improve access to, and availability of, advanced and affordable healthcare, IFC provided advisory assistance to the Government of Bihar and the state’s Infrastructure Development Authority (IDA), to structure and implement a public-private partner- ship (PPP) aimed at building, operating, and maintaining a greenfield super-specialty hospital in Patna, the capital city of the State of Bihar. The project was awarded on a competitive bid process to Global Health Patliputra Private Limited (GHPPL), a unit of Medanta the Medicity, one of India’s largest multi- super specialty hospitals. The concession agreement was signed with GHPPL on 22nd August 2015. The developer will develop the 500 bed super specialty hospital on Design, Build, Finance, Operate, & Transfer (DBFOT)) basis for a concession period of 33 years. This series provides an overview of public-private partnership stories in various infrastructure sectors, where IFC was the lead advisor. IFC’s advisory work was undertaken with financial support from the IFC Advisory Services in Public-Private Partnerships HANSHEP Health PPP facility funded by the UK’s Department for In- 2121 Pennsylvania Ave.

  • Environment Impact Assessment and Socio Economic Studies
    CHAPTER - IX ENVIRONMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT AND SOCIO ECONOMIC STUDIES 9.0 Objectives of the study The objective of environmental impact assessment and socio- economic studies is to identify the possible environmental and socio- economic effects due to the proposed Kosi-Mechi intrastate link project of Bihar and to suggest measures to mitigate or ameliorate the anticipated adverse impacts on the environment. The study was assigned to M/s Economic Development Trust (EDT), New Delhi. A brief account of the study is presented in this chapter. 9.1 The project proposal The Kosi-Mechi intrastate link project envisages diversion of 7,825 MCM of Kosi water from existing Hanuman Nagar Barrage on Indo-Nepal border to Mechi river (a tributary of Mahananda) about 1.5 km upstream of its confluence with Mahananda river in Makhanpur village of Kishanganj district of Bihar state. The proposed link canal offtakes from the left side (eastern side) of the barrage near Hanuman Nagar at FSL 74.371 m and outfalls into Mechi river at FSL 54.239 m. The total length of the link canal is 117.50 km. This link canal will cross number of streams/rivers, road and railway lines for which 9 canal syphons, 14 syphon aqueducts, 42 road bridges and 9 hume pipe culverts have been proposed. 28 head regulators, 10 cross regulators and 3 escapes have also been provided for the link canal regulation. 9.2 Project justification Bihar is India's most flood‐prone state, with about 76% of the population in north Bihar living under the recurring threat of flood devastation.

  • Kishanganj Introduction
    DISTRICT PROFILE KISHANGANJ INTRODUCTION Kishanganj district is one of the thirty-eight districts of Bihar. Kishanganj district is a part of Purnea division. Kishanganj is situated in the northeastern part of Bihar and is is part of the chicken neck on the map of India. Kishanganj has an international border with Nepal and a narrow strip of 20 km land of West Bengal separates Kishanganj district from Bangladesh. Kishanganj district is surrounded by the districts of Araria and Purnea of Bihar, districts of Uttar Dinajpur and Darjeeling of West Bengal and Nepal in the north. The important rivers flowing from the district are Mahananda, Kankai, Mechi, Doictnk, Ratua, Ramzan and Sudhani. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Kishanganj is the distortion of the name Krishna-Kunj. During the Mughal period, Kishanganj district was the part of Nepal and was known as Nepalgarh. Nepalgarh was captured during the reign of Mughal Emperor Shah Alam and renamed as Alamganj in his honour. Khagara was made the administrative headquarters and the historical "Khagra Mela" is held here every year. During the Mughal rule under Nawab Mohammed Fakiruddin, a wandering Hindu saint refused to enter Amanganj despite being very tired because the names of the place, river and Nawab were Alamganj, Ramzan and Fakiruddin respectively. When the Nawab heard this grievance of the itinerant saint, he announced that some portion of land would be renamed as Krishna-Kunj. With passage of time, the name Krishna-Kunj got distorted to Kishanganj. Kishanganj was earlier an important sub-division of the erstwhile Purnea district and became an independent district on 14th January 1990.
