  • 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.

Director General Tele : 91-11-23731956 Fax : 91-11-23731746 E-mail : [email protected] FOREWORD The national response to HIV/AIDS in India over the last decade has yielded encouraging outcomes in terms of prevention and control of HIV. However, in recent years, while declining HIV trends are evident at the national level as well as in most of the States, some low prevalence and vulnerable States have shown rising trends, warranting focused prevention efforts in specific areas. The National AIDS Control Programme (NACP) is strongly evidence-based and evidence-driven. Based on evidence from ‘Triangulation of Data’ from multiple sources and giving due weightage to vulnerability, the organizational structure of NACP has been decentralized to identified districts for priority attention. The programme has been successful in creating a robust database on HIV/AIDS through the HIV Sentinel Surveillance system, monthly programme reporting data and various research studies.

  • 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.

  • Report on Scoping Study to Manage Silt of Kosi River, Bihar
    2018 Sediment Management in River Kosi – A Commercial Perspective Submitted to Submitted By BASIX Consulting and Technology Services Ltd., Hyderabad Sediment Management in River Kosi – A Commercial Perspective 2018 Executive Summary The Kosi is known as “sorrow of Bihar” due to its frequent and devastating floods in Bihar. The river carries very high annual sedimentation load (multilayer staking of silt). It was estimated that rate of sedimentation is 5.33 cm/year in Chatra-Birpur and 2.83 in birpur-Baltara. Over 10 million people are hit by water logging even if the rainfall in the state is normal or deficient. Removing deposited silt and managing it for commercial purposes are among the adaptation strategies to address the problem of recurrent floods. Exploration of scope to manage silt of Kosi river was identified as one of the key focus area for Action on Climate Today (ACT - a new programme of UK DFID) as agreed jointly by Government of Bihar (GoB) and ACT team. In this respect, a scoping study was conducted to estimate the deposited and extractable silt in various stretches of Kosi river and to make a commercial plan for usage of the dredged silt. BASIX Consulting and Technology Services (BCTS) was hired by ACT for undertaking this scoping study. As part of the study, BCTS team had discussion with various stakeholders such as farmers, community, local NGOs, brick manufacturers, government departments, research institutions, etc. The approach was Stakeholder consultation (through semi-structured interviews and focused group discussion), survey with farmers/HH (through scheduled questionnaire for 201 HH) and of local NGOs - Kosi Seva Sadan of Saharsa and Gramyasheel of Supaul (Key informant Interview), silt sample collection and analysis (40 samples of silt were taken.
