TEL: 0651-2241509 1 2 PREFACE Following the completion of the first phase of the social assessment study and its sharing with the BRLP and World Bank team, on February 1, 2007 consultation at the BRLP office, we picked up the feedback and observations to be used for the second phase of study covering three more districts of Purnia, Muzaffarpur and Madhubani. Happily, the findings of the first phase of the study covering Nalanada,Gaya and Khagaria were widely appreciated and we decided to use the same approach and tools for the second phase as was used for the first phase. As per the ToR a detailed Tribal Development Project (TDP) was mandated for the district with substantial tribal population. Purnia happens to be the only district, among the three short listed districts, with substantial tribal (Santhal) population. Accordingly, we undertook and completed a TDP and shared the same with BRLP and the World Bank expert Ms.Vara Lakshnmi. The TDP was minutely analyzed and discussed with Vara, Archana and the ADRI team. Subsequently, the electronic version of the TDP has been finalized and submitted to Ms.Vara Lakshmi for expediting the processing of the same.

  • Supaul Introduction
    DISTRICT PROFILE SUPAUL INTRODUCTION Supaul is one of the thirty-eight districts of Bihar. It is a part of Kosi division. Supaul was accorded the status of a sub-division in 1862. Supaul district was carved out from the erstwhile Saharsa district on 14th March, 1991. Supaul district is bounded by Nepal in the north, Madhepura and Saharsa districts in the south, Araria district in the east and Madhubani district in the west. Supaul district has an international border with Nepal. The river flowing through Supaul district is Kosi. River Kosi is regularly in spate, hence it is considered as the “sorrow of Bihar’’. The major distributaries of Kosi flowing through Supaul are Tilyuga Chhaimra, Kali, Tilawe, Bhenga, Mirchaiya and Sursar. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Supaul has a rich history. This district had been a part of Mithilanchal since the Vedic age. The area has been referred to as Matsya Kshetra-the fishery area, in Hindu mythology. The two oldest democracies namely Angutaran and Apadnigam known to have existed during the Buddhist era, were present in the area which comprises of today’s Supaul district. Kunauli is a small town of Supaul district on the border of Nepal’s Saptari district. The name Kunauli is derived from the Mauryan emperor Ashoka's son, Kunal who once ruled this place. The western embankment bank of Kosi runs through Kunauli. With the establishment of Magadh empire, Kosi river basin became a part of Teer Bhukti and Pondravardhan Bhukti. Buddhism existed and flourished here for about 200 years during the regime of Pala dynasty. During the ancient period, Supaul area was ruled by the Nanda Vansha, Maurya, Sungas and Mithila dynasty.
