Note: In preliminary phase of Bharat Calling – Bijnor (UP Chapter) we are focusing on five Schools of Basi kiratpur Block, Bijnor. BHARAT CALLING – Basi Kiratpur (UP CHAPTER) This project is aimed at linking the students to the prestigious university by providing them a platform under the banner of Bharat Calling – an initiative of the Shri Ramesh Prakash Samajik Sansthan. The key objective of the project is to disseminate the information about the courses offered by the prestigious institutions/universities and their admission process. Generally it is observed in our target geographical location that most of the students do not have information about these prestigious institutions and even if they have the information about these institutions then they don’t know what is the procedure of the admission in to these institutions. So we at Bharat Calling provide them information about courses, admission procedure and also help them to access these universities/colleges. Geographical and Demographic details of the location where the project is to be implemented: Kiratpur as a part of the district bijnor shares the same history for most of the time period. It was ravaged by timur in 1399, no documented evidence exists about it till the time of mughal emperor Akbar, when it formed part of the Delhi empire and so continued undisturbed, except for occasional raids, as long as the power of the Moguls survived intact. In the early part of the 18th century, however, the Rohilla pashtuns established their independence in the country called by them Rohilkhand and about 1748 the Rohilla chief Ali Muhammad made his first annexations in Bijnor, the rest of which soon fell under the Rohilla domination. The northern districts including Kiratpur were granted by Ali Muhammad to Najib Khan, who gradually extended his influence west of the Ganges and at Delhi, receiving the title of Najib-ud-daula and becoming paymaster of the royal forces. Situated 400 km from the state capital Lucknow & 160 km from National Capital Delhi, this town lies on national highway 119 between Najibabad and Bijnor. The population is predominantly composed of traders and agriculture, An agriculture is main occupation of the people. Majority of population follows Hinduism or Islam. Both the communities have lived in harmony for a long time. There is nothing much for entertainment except two theaters. People basically try to enjoy with physical entertained by playing a lot there. Cricket has been very popular in the town and nearby villages.
