District Profile Bhojpur Introduction DISTRICT PROFILE BHOJPUR INTRODUCTION Bhojpur district is one of the thirty-eight districts of the state of Bihar situated in western Bihar. Bhojpur comprises of four sub-divisions of Buxar, Ara Sadar, Jagdishpur and Piro. Bhojpur came into existence in 1992. Earlier this district was part of old Sahabad district. Bhojpur district retains close linkage with its parent district Shahabad. With the elevation of Buxar sub-division as a separate district in 1992, the present day Bhojpur district consisting of three sub-divisions, came into existence. Bhojpur district is bounded by the districts of Chapra, Rohtas, Patna, Jahanabad Arwal, Buxar and district Ballia of Uttar Pradesh. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND It is said that the name Ara is derived from the Sanskrit word 'ARANYA', which means forest and Aranya Devi, the forest goddess was worshipped as the deity goddess. According to Hindu mythology, sage Vishwamitra –the Guru of Lord Rama, had his hermitage in the ancient city of Arrah . The famous Chinese pilgrim traveller HIEUN-TSANG and Greek records also refer to the region. In 1764, the historic battle of Buxar fought in Ara between the East India Company and the alliance forces of Mir Kasim, the Nawab of Bengal, Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II and Shuja-ud-daulla , the Nawab of Avadh, saw the fall of the Mughal empire in India and the beginning of British colonization of India. During India’s First War of Independence in 1857, popularly known as Sepoy Mutiny, when the Indian army of "British Fauz" declared their independence at Danapur and proceeded to Jagdishpur presently a sub-division of Bhojpur district, the eighty years old zamindar of Jagdishpur, Babu Kunwar Singh , immediately took command of that revolutionary army and captured the English Treasury at Ara, released the prisoners from Ara Jail and besieged the English officers stationed in Ara. The East India Company had to deploy fresh contingent of troops which forced Kunwar Singh to retreat. But Kuwar Singh regained his throne and kept fighting the English armies at different places till his death. In commemoration of the bravery of Veer Kuwar Singh, 23rd April is celebrated every year in Bihar as "Kunwar Singh Vijayotsav Diwas". The revolutionaries of the district actively participated in the Quit India Movement in 1942. ADMINISTRATIVE Ara, transliterated as Arrah, located on the confluence of rivers Ganges and Sone, is the district and administrative headquarters of Bhojpur district, the principal town and a municipal corporation town of the district. Bhojpur district is divided into 3 sub-divisions, namely Ara Sadar, Jagdishpur and Piro and 14 municipal blocks: o Agioan o Jagdishpur o Tarari o Ara o Koilwar o Udwantnagar o Barhara o Piro o Bihiyan o Sahar o Charpokhri o Sandesh o Garhani o Shahpur No. of Panchayats in Bhojpur district: 228 No. of villages in Bhojpur district: 1244 ECONOMIC PROFILE The district primarily has an agrarian economy, being dependent mainly on agriculture and small businesses.

  • 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.

  • Chapter--- 2 Chapter-2
    CHAPTER--- 2 CHAPTER-2 THE LAND AND THE PEOPLE THE REGION The District of Maida was a part of Jalpaiguri Division in the state of West Bengal. It is located in the northern sector of the state of West Bengal. The District is formed by northern sector of the river Ganges and included in the delta formed by river Ganges and Mahananda, the two most vital rivers of the district. It occupies a strategic position in the administrative map of West Bengal for its location and communication facilities. It appears that in the District of Maida, there is a small town named "Old Maida" and it is commonly followed that the district has been derived from this town. The word "Old Maida" comes from the Arabic word 'Mal' which means 'capital' or 'wealth.' So Maida in Arabic indicates a place where financial transactions were performed and where wealth is concentrated in the hands of a large number of persons. Maida has a very rich past of its own. The history of the district is interlinked with different periods of history. In 1813, Maida was created as a new District in Bengal , outlying portion of Purnea and Dinajpur district by the British authority. But it formally became an independent administrative unit only in 1859. In that year Maida District was formed with PS Sahibganj, Kaliachak, Bholahat and Gurguriabag of the district ofPumea in Bihar, Maida and Bamongola from the District ofDinajpur, and Rohanpur and Chhupi from Rajshahi District of the present Bangladesh. Afterward some more police stations were created out of those police station areas.

  • The Indian War of Independence 1857
    PUBLISHER’S NOTE Most historians, British as well as Indian, have described and dismissed the rising of 1857 as a ‘Sepoy Munity’ or at best ‘The Indian Mutiny’. Indian revolution is on the other hand, and national minded leaders thinkers have regarded it as a planned and organised olitical and military rising aimed at destroying the British power in India. Mr. Sawarkar’s is an attempt to look at the incidents of 1857 from the Indian point of view. A leading revolutionary himself, was attracted and inspired by the burning zeal, the heroism, bravery, suffering and tragic fate of the leaders of 1857, and he decided to re-interpret the story and to relate it in full with the help of all the material available to him at the time. He spent days and months at the India Office Library studying the period. Finally, his work was published in 1909, under the title “The Indian War of Independence –1857”. The full story of its publication and eventual fate is related, at length, elsewhere in this volume. We shall only mention here that its entry into India was banned by the Government even before it was published. This ban was finally lifted by the Congress Government of Bombay in May 1946, and this is the first authorised edition of the book to be published in India. As the publishers of this edition we take here the opportunity of recording our sense of gratitute to Mr.G.M.Joshi, editor of the Marathi weekly journal Agrani, for making this work available to us, and for his continued interest in it while it was going through the press.

  • What Really Happened During the Mutiny a Day-By-Day Account of the Major Events of 1857-1859 in India
    Pakistan Perspectives Vol. 12, No. 2, July-December 2007 What Really Happened During the Mutiny A Day-by-Day Account of the Major Events of 1857-1859 in India P.J.O. Taylor Selection by Mubarak Ali Pre-1857 It is inappropriate, and would be historically inaccurate, to dismiss the Mutiny in 1857 of the Bengal Army of the Honorable East India Company as an isolated phenomenon, or, for that matter, to attempt to categorise it as of purely military significance. JANUARY-MARCH 1857 January At the beginning of this year the East India Company had a composite force of European and Indian troops to guard its interests in India, by a coincidence the European troops were abnormally below establishment.

    Arrah Lee Gaul Collection Illinois Wesleyan University Tate Archives and Special Collections July 2009 The Arrah Lee Gaul Collection The Ames Library Illinois Wesleyan University Biographical note: Arrah Lee Gaul was born in Philadelphia in 1883 as the daughter of a Methodist minister. She graduated with a degree in art from the Moore Institute of Art, Science and Industry in Philadelphia. She went on to graduate studies at the University of Pennsylvania and then returned to Moore to join the faculty and become head of its art education department. She studied art in France, but is more famous for her trip to the Orient in which she spent seven years in Japan, Hong Kong, and a short while in India. She planned on visiting Egypt, but her trip was put off due to the Suez Canal incident. She spent most of her artistic life traveling, and won the honor of being the first woman artist accepted into many art competitions and art societies, including the Philadelphia Art Club and several Japanese art competitions. She is well known for her portraits and landscapes, which tended to emphasize the happier and more appealing aspects of these subjects. Upon her death in 1980, she donated 200 of her paintings to Illinois Wesleyan, a campus she had visited only once. Her father had received an honorary doctorate in theology from Illinois Wesleyan. Because of her dedication to her father, she had stipulated that these works would be donated to the university upon her death. Scope & Contents Note: This collection of documents primarily focuses on Gaul’s role as an artist, but includes some examples of her involvement with the Philadelphia Women’s Club and her religious life as well.
