  • District Profile Jamui Introduction
    DISTRICT PROFILE JAMUI INTRODUCTION Jamui district is one of the thirty-eight administrative districts of Bihar. The district was formed on 21 February 1991, when it was separated from Munger district. Jamui district is a part of Munger Commissionery. Jamui district is surrounded by the districts of Munger, Nawada, Banka and Lakhisarai and districts Giridih and Deoghar of Jharkhand state. The major rivers flowing in the district are Kiul, Burnar, Sukhnar, Nagi, Nakti, Ulai, Anjan, Ajay and Bunbuni HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Jamui has a glorious history. Historical existence of Jamui has been observed during the Mahabharta period. Jamui was earlier known as Jambhiyaagram. The old name of Jamui has been traced as Jambhubani in a copper plate kept in Patna Musuem. According to Jainism, the 24th Tirthankar Lord Mahavir got divine knowledge in Jambhiyagram/ Jrimbhikgram situated on the bank of river Jambhiyagram Ujjhuvaliya/ Rijuvalika. Hindi translation of the words Jambhiya and Jrimbhikgram is Jamuhi which developed in the recent time as Jamui and the river Ujhuvaliya/ Rijuvalika changed to river Ulai . Jamui was ruled by the Gupta, Pala and Chandel rulers. Indpai is supposed to be the capital of Indradyumna, the last local king of Pala dynasty during the 12th century. It was earlier known as Indraprastha. Many archaeological evidences have been found at this place. Gidhaur, also known as Patsanda, is a small town in Jamui district. It was one of the 568 Princely States in India before the partition of British India in 1947. Kings of Chandel descent belonging to Mahoba of Bundelkhand region, ruled here for more than six centuries.

  • Flood Disaster and Its Impact on the People in Kosi Region, Bihar
    © 2019 IJRAR May 2019, Volume 6, Issue 2 www.ijrar.org (E-ISSN 2348-1269, P- ISSN 2349-5138) FLOOD DISASTER AND ITS IMPACT ON THE PEOPLE IN KOSI REGION, BIHAR Dr. Sanjiv Kumar Research Fellow Univ. Deptt. of Geography, T.M.B.U., Bhagalpur Introduction The Kosi, a trans-boundary river between Nepal and India is often referred to as the “Sorrow of Bihar”. The flow of the river contains excessive silt and sand, resulting in changing the courses of the river. During the past, the river has kept on changing its courses between Purnea district in the east and Darbhanga and Madhubani districts in the west. The recent disaster was created by the breach in the eastern Kosi embankment upstream of the Indian border at Kursela in the neighbouring Nepal on the 18th of August 2008. A tragedy of unparalleled dimension unleashed was over three million people living in 995 villages spreading in seven districts of Kosi region, viz. Supaul, Araria, Madhepura, Saharsa, Purnia, Khagaria and Katihar. Objectives: The purpose of the paper is to investigate the damage caused by the devastating floods due to the turbulent river Kosi recurrently and its impact on the socio-economic life of the people inhabiting in the region which is densely populated but with poor economy. The objective refers to the sustainability of an agricultural region to the occurrence of a natural disaster. The objective is to achieve in order to create a sustainable system in environmental, social and economic terms. The other objective aims to preserve or improve characteristics of the environment such as biodiversity, soil, and water and air quality.

  • Saharsa Introduction
    DISTRICT PROFILE SAHARSA INTRODUCTION Saharsa is one of the thirty-eight districts of Bihar. Saharsa district became a separate district in 1954 prior to which it was a part of Kosi division. The important rivers flowing through the district are Kosi, Baghmati. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Earlier Saharsa district was within the Bhagalpur Division. Kosi Division was formed on 2nd October 1972 comprising of Saharsa, Purnia and Katihar district with its head quarters at Saharsa. Formerly it had no independent status and parts of Saharsa were included in the old districts of Munger & Bhagalpur. Ancient Times: In ancient times, Vaishali was the strongest republic in North-Bihar and beyond that lay the famous territory of Anguttarap. There was a small Janpad, named Apna, in Anguttarap and it included a portion of the district of Saharsa. Various sites of the district, now completely eroded and destroyed by the Kosi, viz. Biratpur, Budhiagarhi, Budhnaghat, Buddhadi, Pitahahi and Mathai are associated with Buddhism Both Anga and North Bihar (including Saharsa) continued to be independent till the early part of the sixth century B.C Between 320 and 1097 A.D Under the Guptas (from 320 A.D.), the entire North Bihar was consolidated as a Tirbhukti (province) with its capital at Vaishali. The extent of Saharsa during the period under review was upto the confines of Pundravardhanbhukti which included some of its present area. From the geographical point of view, Saharsa was the most strategically suited from being the Jayaskandharar (temporary Capital) of the Palas at the time when they were surrounded on all sides by enemies.

  • Resilient Bihar: Case Study of Bihar Floods 2016 Abstract
    Authors: Shri Vyas Ji, IAS (Retd.) Presently Vice-Chairman, Bihar State Disaster Management Authority Monisha Dubey, Senior Editor, BSDMA RESILIENT BIHAR: CASE STUDY OF BIHAR FLOODS 2016 ABSTRACT {Disaster has become a regular global event adversely affecting lives of millions of people. The question is why so many people are affected. The reason being increased vulnerability created by human being itself. To reduce increasing disaster risks communities need to be resilient. This is why ‘disaster risk reduction’ policies are being introduced. This paper discusses roadmap for disaster risk reduction (DRR) in Bihar and its implementation at the grass root level. Taking the case of 2016 Bihar Floods, the paper tries to look into how National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) actively works towards fulfilling targets and milestones of ‘Bihar DRR Roadmap’ which was born inspired by Sendai Framework held in Japan in 2015.} Keywords: Disaster Risk Reduction, Vulnerability, Resilience, Roadmap Introduction Disaster, according to DM Act 2005, is a ‘catastrophe, mishap, calamity or grave occurrence in any area, arising from natural or human-made causes, or by accident or negligence which results in substantial loss of life or human suffering or damage to, and destruction of, property, or damage to, and degradation of, environment, and is of such a nature or magnitude as to be beyond the coping capacity of the community of the affected area’i. Disaster risks are evolving everyday with increasing rate of poverty (resulted from increased unemployment and unsystematic distribution of resources) as poor people suffer the most. Bihar is a multi-disaster prone state with almost all types of natural and man-made disasters (floods, drought, cyclonic storm, hailstorm, fire, earthquake, heat/cold waves, road/boat accidents, drowning, lighting, etc.) affecting it’s all 38 districts.

One of the important functions of the NGRBA is to prepare and implement a Ganga River Basin Management Plan (GRBMP). A Consortium of 7 Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) has been given the responsibility of preparing Ganga River Basin Management Plan (GRBMP) by the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF), GOI, New Delhi. Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) has been signed between 7 IITs (Bombay, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras and Roorkee) and MoEF for this purpose on July 6, 2010. This report is one of the many reports prepared by IITs to describe the strategy, information, methodology, analysis and suggestions and recommendations in developing Ganga River Basin Management Plan (GRBMP). The overall Framework for documentation of GRBMP and Indexing of Reports is presented on the inside cover page. There are two aspects to the development of GRBMP. Dedicated people spent hours discussing concerns, issues and potential solutions to problems.
