  • REGIONAL IMBALANCE in BODY MASS INDEX and HEALTH STATUS: a COMPARATIVE STUDY by RELIGION and CASTES in MURSHIDABAD DISTRICT, WEST BENGAL Dr
    International Journal of Scientific Research and Modern Education (IJSRME) ISSN (Online): 2455 – 5630 (www.rdmodernresearch.com) Volume I, Issue I, 2016 REGIONAL IMBALANCE IN BODY MASS INDEX AND HEALTH STATUS: A COMPARATIVE STUDY BY RELIGION AND CASTES IN MURSHIDABAD DISTRICT, WEST BENGAL Dr. S. Waseem Ahmad Ashraf* & Dr. Sabbir Ahmed** * Associate Professor, Department of Geography, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh ** Senior Researcher, Department of Geography, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh Abstract: Body Mass Index (BMI) is a ratio of a person’s height and weight. It is a simple calculation of mass in kilograms (kg) divided by height in meters (m) squared (BMI= kg/ (m2). Those with low BMIs may be at risk for malnutrition, osteoporosis and/or an eating disorder. Those with high BMIs may be at risk for heart disease, diabetes and cancer. BMI can be helpful for a quick screen or for assessing entire populations; however it is not always accurate for evaluating individual people. The present paper aims at examining the close relationship between Body Mass Index and Health Status of population in Murshidabad District of West Bengal. The data for the analysis have been obtained from the primary sources (Field Survey, 2012). The paper suggests that enhancement of caloric intake shall reduce the disparities in Body Mass Index and Health Status in Murshidabad District. Key Words: Body Mass Index, Health Status, Regional Imbalance, Caloric Intake, Overweight, Underweight & Obese Introduction: One of the serious problem that world is facing today is the problem of regional imbalances. In India regional imbalances exist at state level, district and even block level also.

  • Murshidabad District During the Covid-19 Lockdown
    Support to the members of the fishing community in Murshidabad district during the Covid-19 lockdown In terms of fish culture and fishers in West Bengal, the Murshidabad district has always held a special place. The total number of fisher people of the district is 353,174 and most of them belong to the socially and economically backward scheduled caste (SC) category. This district has the highest number of fisher folks in the SC category in West Bengal. DISHA, in collaboration with Dakshinbanga Matsyajibi Forum (DMF), is trying to support the fishing community in this district to get organised and establish their rights as a community. After the outbreak of COVID-19, their livelihood suffered badly because of the long lockdown. Initially, fishing activities were not allowed. Even when these were allowed with restrictions, markets were dull. Whatever little savings the fishers and fish vendors had were spent. DISHA and Dakshinbanga Matsyajibi Forum tried to reach them and provided support to 1047 families up to the end of June 2020. 163 families in Hariharpara block (Malopara, Fataipur & Ramkrishnapur) 186 families in Murshidabad-Jiaganj (MJ) block (Prasadpur, Tentuliya & Nawda) 211 families in Nabagram block (Dafarpur & Nabagram) 142 families in Jalangi block (Kajipara & Singhpara colony) 63 families in Raninagar-II block (Katlamari Guripara & Katlamari Halderpara) 213 families in Berhampore block (Kumradaha Ghat, Gandhi Colony) 69 families in Bhagwangola II block ( Ranitala) 1 Hariharpara Block Hariharpara is a census town and block in Murshidabad district. The total area of Hariharpara is 253.14 sq km.
