This is the most valuabl~ district level publication brought out by the Census Organisation on behalf of each State Govt.!Union Territory administration. It inter-alia provides data/information on some of the basic demogaphic and socio-economic characteristics and on the availability of certain important civic amenities/facilities in eacll village and town of the respective districts. This publication has thus proved to be of immense utility to the planners, administrators, academicians and r'esearchers. "T:he scope of the DCH was initially confined to certain important census tables on population, economic and socio-cultural aspects as also the Primary Census Abstract (PCA) of eacH vil.lage and town (ward-wise) of ttr district. ihe DCHs published after the 1961 Census contained a descriptive account of the district, administrative statistics, census tables and Village and Town Directories including PCA. After the 1971 Census, two parts of the District Census Handbooks (Part-A comprising Village and Town Directories and Part-B comprising Village and Town PCA) were released in all the States and· Union Territories. The third Part (C) of the District Censu.s Handbooks comprising administrative statistics and district census tables, which was also to be brought out, could not be published in many States/UTs due to considerable delay in compilation of relevant material. In 1981,some new features alongwith the restructuring of the formats of Village and Town Directory were introduced in the DCHs. These were published in two parts for each district after the 1981 Census. While Part-A comprised Village and Town Directories, the PCA o(villages and towns (ward-wise) including Scheduled Caste and Schduled Tribe PCA upto tehsil/ town level were provided in Part-B. To illustrate, all the amenities except electricity, were brought together in the Village Directory and if an amenity was not available in the referrent village, the distance in broad ranges. from the nearest place having such amenity was given. Information on some new items such as adult literacy centres, primary health sub-centres and community health workers in the village were provided so as to meet some of the requirements of the Revised Minimum Needs Programme. Similarly, information on approach to the village was also provided for the first time in the Village Directory so as to give an idea about the number of inaccessible villages in each district. In case of Town Directories also, keeping in view the requirements of the Minimum Needs Programme, a Statement IV-A on slums was provided so as to enable the planners to chalk out the programmes for providing better civic and other amenities in the slums. In this statement details on civic and other amenities were reported for the slums of class I and Class II towns. Apart from this, one column on the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes population and another on adult literacy classes/centres were added in Statements IV and V respectively. The manner of presentation of the DCHs for the 1991 Census is by and large the same as followed in 1981. However, the format of PCA has been restructured slightly in the 1991 Census for the benefit of data users. Nine-fold industrial classification of main workers has been given as against four-fold ·industrial classification presented in the 1981 Census. In addition to this, the sex-wise population in the 0-6 age-group has also been includ~d in PCA for the first time with a view to enabling data users to compute more realistic literacy rate as all children below 7 years of age have been treated as illiterate at the time of the 1991 Census. It is expected that the above mentioned modifications will help the planners in chalking out more effective developmental programmes. One of the most important innovations in the 1991 Census is the Community Development ,Block-level. pres~ntation of data in the Village Directory and PCA instead of the traditional TahsillTalukiPS level presentation. (ii) It is expected that the presentation of Village Directory and PCA data at C. D. Block level will help.the planners in formulation of micro-level developmental plans, as the C. D. Block is the lowest administrative unit for developmental planning. In order to facilitate the task of administrators, planners and research~rs intending to use Village Directory/PCA data, either from the magnetic tapes/floppies or from the published records, both the computer and manual codes for eactl village have been provided for the 1991 Census alongwith the corresponding codes of 1981. This publication is a joint venture of the .state Govt./UT administration and the Census Organisation. The data have been collected and co'mpiled under the direction, of Shri. H. Chakravarty, Director of Census Operations, West Bengal on behalf of the State Govt.lUT administration which has borne the cost of printing. The task of planning, designing and coordination of the publication was initiated by. Dr. K.P. Ittaman, former Deputy Registrar.General (Social Studies) and Shri M.M.Dua, Joint Director. For the sake of uniformity in presentation of information/data and for preparation of analytical note dePicting the salient features emerging from a micro-level analysis of Census/non-Census data, a model District Census Handbook from each State and Union Territory was thoroughly scrutinised in Hie Social Studies Division under the guidance of Shri MK Jain, the present Deputy Registrar General (S.S.).This task was carried out by Shri A.K. Singh, Deputy Director, who was assisted by Shri N.S. Soam, Assistant Director and his staff. Technical guidance in the preparation of the maps was initially provided by Dr. B.K. Roy, former Deputy Registrar General (M'i1p) and later by Mrs. Minati Ghosh, the present Deputy Registrar General (Map). I am thankful to all·t~ose who have co'ntributed to this project. New Delhi (A.A. NANDA) June 11, 1992 Registrar General, India PREFACE The District Census Handbook compiled by the Directorate of Census Operations,West Bengal on behalf of the Government of West Bengal, owes its origin to 1951 Census. The present publication of 1991 Census is fifth in the series. In this publication besides census statistics, various other- information and statistical data have been included which are used by the State Government, District Administration, Research Scholars and other data users. It contains important census tables , PCA for each village and town of the district and at the same time presented in such a manner that the comparability of the data of the earlier censuses are maintained. The publication is brought out in two parts. Part XII-A related to village and 1:own directory and Part XII-B related to village and town PCk Besides, for the first time in this census, at the instance of the State Govt. of West Bengal, a separate combined volume on Calcutta Metropolitan Area has also been compiled. The structuring formats and additional volumes have been made with a view to assist not only in local area planning but also to meet requirement of the Revised Minimum 'Needs Programme. Lik~wise formats of the town directory have been so devised not only to meet the requirement of Revised Minimum Needs Programme but also to give an idea about the civic and other amenities in the town.

  • 38 Chapter-Ii Geographical
    CHAPTER-II GEOGRAPHICAL BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY AREA 2.1. Introduction: Study Area is the prime concern of any research especially in a spatial science like Geography. It is the place, based on which, the researcher carries out in-depth study and data collection. A discussion on the study area is fundamental as it helps in understanding the contextual background of the area under investigation. Mead defined study area as “the geographical studies pursued in a well-defined area” (Mead, 1969). Generally, a research is conducted within or beyond an area delimited by political or physical boundaries. However, it is sometimes difficult to delineate a study area as it may stretch beyond either of the boundaries. The study area is the geographic framework within which the field work is conducted, and thus its exact areal extent must be determined to focus and further define the purposes of the research. As the present research is based on the Geo-environmental study of the wetlands of Tufanganj and Koch Bihar Sadar subdivisions within Koch Bihar District, the study area and subsequent data collection have been confined to four community development blocks, namely Tufanganj-I, Tufanganj-II, Koch Bihar-I and Koch Bihar-II. Thus the main focus of the present chapter is on the historical background, physical and socio-economic background as well as the administrative jurisdiction and geographic location of Koch Bihar District. 2.2. Historical Background: Etymologically, ‘Koch Bihar’ or ‘Cooch Behar’ has been derived from two words- ‘Cooch’ and ‘Behar’. While the word ‘Cooch’ is a corrupted form of the word ‘Koch’ that signifies an indigenous mongoloid tribe, the word ‘Behar’ is derived from Sanskrit word ‘Vihara’, which means ‘abode’, or ‘sport’.
