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.

Labour Migration from (And In) Bihar
Working paper Labour migration from (and in) Bihar Continuities and change Indrajit Roy January 2016 Roy, I. University of Oxford, IGC Working Paper January 8, 2016 Labour migration from (and in) Bihar: continuities and change Introduction: study motivation and purpose The Indian State of Bihar is in the throes of political, social and economic change. Long derided as a basket case, the State has registered high rates of economic growth over the last decade. In this context, the present paper investigates the continuities and changes in the pattern of labour migration from and within rural Bihar. The project’s theoretical framework is informed by debates on the theme of ‘transition’. The question of ‘transition’ from rural to urban, agriculture to industry, traditional to modernity and feudal to capitalist have concerned economists, sociologists, political scientists and historians of different intellectual persuasions. Along these lines, the Harriss-Todero model predicted that urbanization would become a permanent and ‘mainstreamed’ feature of social life, due to migrants’ anticipation of jobs and good quality of life in the cities. In the Indian context, there is agreement among scholars (who otherwise draw on very different intellectual traditions) about the incomplete, lopsided and tortuous nature of India’s ‘transition’ (Bardhan, 2009; Chatterjee, 2008; Government of India, 2009; cf. Gupta, 2005). The presence of an estimated 100 million internal itinerant labour migrants across the country appears to corroborate the notions of incomplete and tortuous ‘transition’ (Deshingkar and Akter, 2009: 28). Straddling the spatial domains of rural and urban, and the occupational domains of agriculture and industry, they appear to personify the fractured nature of the ‘transition’.

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.

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.

Purnea Introduction
DISTRICT PROFILE PURNEA INTRODUCTION Purnea district is one of the thirty-eight administrative districts of Bihar state. Purnea district is a part of Purnea division. Purnea is bounded by the districts of Araria, Katihar, Bhagalpur, Kishanganj, Madhepura and Saharsa and district of West Dinajpur of West Bengal. The major rivers flowing through Purnea are Kosi, Mahananda, Suwara Kali, Koli and Panar. Purnea district extends northwards from river Ganges. Purnia has seen three districts partitioned off from its territory: Katihar in 1976, and Araria and Kishanganj in 1990. Purnea with its highest rainfall in Bihar and its moderate climate has earned the soubriquet of 'Poor's man's Darjeeling’. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Purnea has a rich history and a glorious past. It is believed that the name Purnea originates either from the Goddess Puran Devi (Kali) or from Purain meaning Lotus. The earliest inhabitants of Purnea were Anas and Pundras. In the epics, the Anas are grouped with the Bengal tribes and were the eastern most tribes known to the Aryans during the period of Atharva Samhita while the Pundras, although they had Aryan blood were regarded as degraded class of people in the Aitarya Brahmana, Mahabharata and Manu Samhita, because they neglected the performance of sacred rites. According to the legend of Mahabharata, Biratnagar which gave shelter to the five Pandava brothers during their one year incognito exile, is said to be located in Purnea. During the Mughal rule, Purnea was a military frontier province under the command of a Faujdar. The revenue from this outlying province was spent on the maintenance of troops for protecting the borders against tribes from the north and east.
