The present study has been done to understand the relationship and diversity of consumption scenarios of the selected agricultural commodities in some vegetable markets. To identify the diversity and consumption relationship of various vegetable products in the present study area, primary survey related databases of the seven principal vegetables in the two selected vegetable markets hold a major role. Besides, Simpson Index, correlation matrix, Analysis of Variance and significance test become helpful to justify the relationship. The output of the results shows that the consumption by the local buyers and the buyers from distant places in Chuadanga ‘hat’ is more consistence than Bishnupur ‘hat’. Moreover, the relationship (correlation coefficient is equal to 0.9141) of supply depends on demand of the vegetables in the two markets. The consumption by the local buyers is more diverse (Simpson’s Diversity Index is 0.9408) than the buyers from distant places (0.7936). Besides, the correlation in between the total consumption by the local buyers and the total consumption by the buyers from distant places is not significant which shows the moderately low coefficient of correlation (0.477)with the significance value (0.279 which is greater than 0.05). Finally, the study reveals the significance of further researches to find out the factorial variables which impact on the significance of the relationship in between the two mentioned variables in the two ‘hats’ as well as focuses on the future progress of the socio-economic conditions of the stakeholders. Keywords : Agricultural marketing, Chakdah, Hat Introduction Agricultural market in rural areas is commonly known as ‘hat’. The system of marketing may be considered as the ‘invisible hand’ (Smith, 1976) of economic function of the rural livelihood. It is the services that involved in an agricultural product from one agricultural farm to the consumer. ‘Hat’ is specially a place or ground where all agricultural commodities or other non-agricultural commodities are gathered for sell. This marketing system or ‘hat’ fully customer oriented and this has to provide by the farmers. The ‘hat’ mostly found in rural areas and some towns of India, Bangladesh like Asian developing countries. These ‘hats’ are conducted on regular basis, that is 1 M.A. in 2016, e-mail:[email protected], University of Kalyani, Kalyani, Nadia, West Bengal 2 M.Sc. in 2016, University of Kalyani, Kalyani, Nadia, West Bengal, e-mail:[email protected] * Corresponding author 6 INDIAN JOURNAL OF LANDSCAPE SYSTEMS AND ECOLOGICAL STUDIES VOL. 41 once, twice or thrice in a week or every two weeks. This ‘hats’ support local economy and sometimes it converts rural areas to small towns. Venkatesh, et al., (2016) formulized in their study about the production and consumption diversity of Indian states using Simpson Diversity Index. Chauvin, Mulangu and Porto, (2012) identified the food production and consumption trends of the agricultural sector of states of sub- Saharan Africa to measure the relationship in between the income and food security problems. Sinha and Pradhan, (2009) identified, ‘the local markets of Goilkera in West Singbhum in Jharkhand markets are usually for direct sales of small quantities of produce by farmers to village traders and rural consumers.’ In their study Jayatillake and Mahalianaarachchi, (2007) traced out the unusual fluctuation of seasonal price in the fruits and vegetables markets of his study area which cause the effective problems of the consumers. The study by Barman and Bhattacharjee, (2016) reflected that ‘on the commodity structure of local origin as well as commodity brought from outside of Garo Hills Region’. Brown, Dury and Holdsworth, (2009) studied on the Motivations of consumers that use local, organic fruit and vegetable box schemes in Central England and Southern France; Locke, et al., (2014) mentioned in their study that ‘Epidemiologic investigations and public health interventions that examine the consumption of fruits and vegetables ought to consider the seasonal variation in consumption patterns, especially in agricultural communities.’ Objectives The objectives of the present study are as follows. z To identify the consumption scenarios in 2015-2016 of different agricultural productions by the local Buyers and the buyers from distant places in Bishnupur and Chuadanga vegetable ‘hats’ in Chakdah C.D. Block in Nadia District, West Bengal. z To examine the seasonal production differences of the local agricultural productions as well as the consumption diversity of the local buyers and the buyers from distant places in the two selected agricultural markets. z To analyse the correlation of total consumption of local agricultural commodities by the local buyers and the buyers from distant places. The Study Area This study is based on two agricultural ‘hats’, named Bishnupr and Chuadanga ‘hat’. These two are located in Bishnupur Mouza and Chuadanga Mouza respectively. These two mouzas are in Dubra Gram Panchayat under Chakdah C D Block. This is considered as the study area for investigating and understanding the interaction between growers of agricultural commodities with physical environment and also socio-economic development of that region depending on those ‘hats’. The agricultural products mainly coming from the surrounding villages and the area is mainly covered by fertile alluvial soil which is transformed by the river Hugli and Ichamati. With the influence of favourable climatic condition (mild winter and sufficient irrigation) and fertile alluvial soil the production is highly concentrated in the area. According to the Agriculture Market Directory NO. 2 MARKETING OF AGRICULTURAL COMMODITIES IN CHAKDAH C D BLOCK 7 of the year 2011-2012 the area of the Chuadanga and Bishnupur ‘hats’ are 2.69 Bighas (a traditional unit of land measurement in India, 1 Hectare= 6.1772 Bighas) and 2 Bighas respectively, but now the area is increasing day by day. These ‘hats’ are very ancient and in present it is able to keep its significance by providing daily needs of rural and urban places around it. Bishnupur and Chuadanga ‘hats’ were established in 1940 and 1982, respectively. The area of Bishnupur market is 2 Bighas and Chuadanga market is 2.69 Bighas (Market Survey Report, 2011-12).These are morning time ‘hats’. The Bishupur ‘hat’ is held on Tuesday and Saturday and Chuadanga on Monday and Thursday. Both are managed by local Panchayats. In both ‘hats’ sellers usually come at around 6 am onwards.

The craft sector provides low cost, green livelihood opportunities to more than 5.5 lakh men and women. Jalpaiguri Alipurduar The sector represents economic lifeline of the vulnerable sections of the society, with women accounting for around 50% of the crafts persons and a significant number belonging to the scheduled castes, tribes and religious minorities. In today's globalised world, the growing retail industry, fashion and luxury markets, demand for green production, potential for e-commerce have created new opportunities for developing a vibrant craft economy thereby providing increased income opportunities to the craft communities like the Patuas, potters, weavers, wood carvers, Dokra makers etc. Besides its high potential for employment, the craft sector is economically important from the point of low capital investment, high ratio of value addition, and high potential for export and foreign exchange earnings for the country. The Government of West Bengal thus aims to unleash the potential of the sector in terms of employment, enterprises, export and growth. The Department of MSME&T, Government of West Bengal in collaboration with UNESCO, New Delhi is developing 10 rural craft hubs in the state. The vision is to develop the villages with families traditionally skilled in craft traditions like Sitalpati, Madurkathi, Terracotta, Patachitra, Dokra, Wooden and Chau masks, Wooden and Clay doll making and Kantha as vibrant craft hubs connected to national and international market.

It has a strong impact among the audience as the appeal of Bengali folk-drama is undeniable. ‘Bolan’ is a traditional folk drama of Bengal which is mainly celebrated in the month of ‘Chaitra’ (march-april). Geographically, it is prevalent in the mid- northern rural and semi-urban regions of Bengal (Rar Banga area) – mainly in Murshidabad district and some parts of Nadia, Birbhum and Bardwan districts. Although it follows the theatrical procedures, yet it is different from the same because it has no female artists. The male actors impersonate as females and play the part. Like other folk drama ‘Bolan’ is in direct contact with the audience and is often interacted and modified by them. Primarily it narrates mythological themes but now-a-days it narrates contemporary socio-politico-economical and natural issues. As it is performed different contemporary issues of immense interest audiences is deeply integrated with it and try to assimilate the messages of social importance from it. And in this way Mass (traditional) media plays an important role in shaping public opinion and forming a platform of exchange between the administration and the people they serve.

    101 Chapter-Ii Early Phase of Satirical Art in Bengal

    CHAPTER-II EARLY PHASE OF SATIRICAL ART IN BENGAL 2.1 INTRODUCTION In this chapter, the research deals with some essential quarries of origin of satirical impulse in art and activities in the 19th century Calcutta, as the market for art started expanding, thanks to the processes of urbanization, the rural folk traditions of pat painting transformed in the hands of the migrant artists to produce water-colours (they used gouache and tempera) of Hindu gods and goddesses as well as to address the unprecedented diversity of urban life. As a result, many of these Kalighat paintings (as the art-practice came to be known) described, using their signature bold lines and colorations, some of the city‟s most popular scandals. Most importantly, they took satirical pot-shots at the sanctimoniousness of the city‟s middle-classes. One can, in fact, trace the obsession with the dandyish and dissolute Babu figure in the early 20th century art to many of the searing images produced by these patuas. The Bat-tala prints and wood-cuts also explored the same themes, targeting the lascivious courtesan and the effeminate Babu with equal ardour. (Sardesai:2003) The historical study of the evolution of satirical images cannot be done without including the patachitras, an art that had an exclusive position in the world of art in Bengal. While speaking of patachitras what instantly comes to our mind is the school of kalighat patachitras. Satire has been a part of traditional culture in Bengal since a long time. The various traditional practises like bolan in rahr Bengal, gombhira of north Bengal, jhumur incorporated in their performances an element of satire.
