Department of unemployment, economic instability, lacks of urban facilities, unhygienic environmental conditions Geography, Utkal University, Vani Vihar, Bhubaneswar, etc. People were well aware about the importance of population studies from very beginning. Odisha, India Explosively growing of urban population has attracted the attention of urban geographers and town planners. For country like India, it is very important to study the decadal variation of population growth, it helps in realizing problems. The population growth and socio-economic changes are closely related to each other. In present study North 24 Parana’s has been chosen as study area. The level of urbanization remained high in the district (57.6 % in 2011). Rapid increase in urbanization can be attributed to growth of Kolkata metropolis.Barasat is now within greater Kolkata (Kolkata 124).From 1991 onwards the real estate business in this district thrived and projects were taken which are more of residential type than business type. The aim of the present paper is to investigate the change in urban population growth rate of municipality wise during the three decades 1981-91, 1991- 2001 and 2001-2011. Due to push-pull factors the rural-urban migration is causing the process of urbanization. -

Back from Singur
STATE AND COUNTER-REVOLUTION BACK FROM SINGUR M. N. Majumder A recent visit to the Singur area and witnessing the Public Hearings conducted by Ms Medha Patkar of Narmada Bachao Andolan and Mahasweta Devi and others which included Sunanda Sanyal, Dipankar Chakrabarty (of Aneek) and hundreds of others both regional and outsiders from 10 A.M. to 2.30 P.M. at Gopalnagar, Madhyapara Durgabedi, many questions of fundamental importance automatically arose which became more relevant at the public meeting at 3.30 P.M. at Bajemelia Hospital Maidan, where Mahasweta Devi and Medha Patkar spoke eloquently, that inspired the morale and fighting spirit of the aggrieved people of the region. The meeting and public hearings were organized by the Singur Agricultural Land Protection Committee and Consolidation Initiative (“Samhati Udyog”) whose convenor is Becharam Manna, a local popular activist. The Singur issue raises many basic questions like — Can the people’s rights to earn a livelihood and rights to agricultural land inherited from forefathers be taken away by the Government? What constitutes Public Interest and Sustainable Development? Does the Tatas’ profit really constitute people’s gains? When so much of land is available in Purulia, Bankura, Birbhum and other places why then such multicropped fertile agricultural land with developed irrigation systems in Singur area is being permanently sacrificed under concrete jungles? Who profits at whose cost? Does the real value of a land get reflected in its market price when the value of the Social and Eco-system services from the land is also taken into account? What is being done with the earlier acquired 1,20,000 acres of land and also with those remaining unused and locked up in closed factories in and around Kolkata? Will this further acquisition of more fertile land lead to food shortages in this small state of West Bengal having the highest population density in the world? Incidentally West Bengal is still a net importer of many a food item from other states. -

Land Acquisition and Compensation in Singur: What Really Happened?∗
Land Acquisition and Compensation in Singur: What Really Happened?∗ Maitreesh Ghatak,† Sandip Mitra,‡ Dilip Mookherjee§and Anusha Nath¶ March 29, 2012 Abstract This paper reports results of a household survey in Singur, West Bengal concerning compensation offered by the state government to owners of land acquired to make way for a car factory. While on average compensations offered were close to the reported market valuations of land, owners of high grade multi-cropped (Sona) lands were under- compensated, which balanced over-compensation of low grade mono-cropped (Sali) lands. This occurred owing to misclassification of most Sona land as Sali land in the official land records. Under-compensation relative to market values significantly raised the chance of compensation offers being rejected by owners. There is considerable ev- idence of the role of financial considerations in rejection decisions. Land acquisition significantly reduced incomes of owner cultivator and tenant households, despite their efforts to increase incomes from other sources. Agricultural workers were more adversely affected relative to non-agricultural workers, while the average impact on workers as a whole was insignificant. Adverse wealth effects associated with under-compensation significantly lowered household accumulation of consumer durables, while effects on other assets were not perceptible. Most households expressed preferences for non-cash forms of compensation, with diverse preferences across different forms of non-cash com- pensation depending on occupation and time preferences. ∗We are grateful to Mr. Atmaram Saraogi of International Centre, Kolkata for sharing with us relevant documents, and the International Growth Centre for financial support under Research Award RA-2009-11- 025 (RST-U145). -

An environment has to be created so that the people, who are at the centre of the churning process, are able to lead healthy and creative lives. With the publication of the West Bengal Human Development Report in 2004 and it being subsequently awarded by the UNDP for its dispassionate quality of analysis and richness in contents, we had to strive really hard to prepare the District Human Development Reports.
