Characteristics

1. Diara Low land diara is flooded every year for about four months (July – October). Medium diara is generally flooded every year, however, upland diara flooded twice in five years for shorter period (mid Aug – Mid Sept.). Uncertain onset & recession of flood causes complete failure of early kharif crops and only one crop (rabi) in a year is certain

2. Tal The tal lands are basin shaped inundated and water retained for a very short period due to fast depletion of soil moisture after recession of flood water, less time is available for land preparation and sowing rabi crops

3. Alluvial Plains

2. Again based on topography the district can be divided as following:Upland – 19617 ha.Medium land – 37660 ha.Low land – 38017 ha.Chaur – 29706 ha.

3. Darbhanga district is situated between longitudes 85 degree 45’-86 degree 25’ East and latitude 25 degree 53’ – 26 degree 27’ North. The district can be divided into four natural divisions. The eastern portion consisting of Ghanshyampur, Biraul and Kusheswarsthan blocks containing fresh silt deposited by the Koshi River. It contains large tracts of sandy land covered with wild Marsh.

The second division comprises of the anchals lying south of the Boorhi Gandak river and is the most fertile area in the district. It is also on higher level than the other part of the district and contains very few marshes. It is well suited to rabi crops.

The third natural region is the doab between Burhi Gandak and Baghmati and consists of low-lying area ditted over by chaur and Marshes. It gets flood every year.

The fourth division covers the sadar sub-division of the district. The tract is watered by humerostreams and contains upland.

The district has a vast alluvial plain devoid of any hills. There is a gentle slope from North to South with a depression on the centre. Numinous rivers originating in the Himalayas water this district. Out of these rivers Kanla, Baghmati, Koshi and Kareh are of most importance.

Soil type

1. The soil of Darbhanga district is alluvial, sandy loam, calcareous mixture of clay and sand in varying proportion, the fertility status is low to medium in nature. Water inundation during rainy season in low land dictates the selection of cultivars of paddy. A large chunk of the low land (chaur land) remains flooded throughout the year.

Characteristics

The climate is characterized by having tropical humid sub-humid type. The rainfall in the zone decreases from North to South. The annual rainfall varies between 900-1300mm having average rainfall of 1273.2mm. On an average, the maximum rainfall occurs during second half of July and first half of August causing water excess conditions and thereby some of the area is affected by flood. The monsoon is characterized by cloudy weather high humidity, frequent rain, and weak variable surface winds. The South –west monsoon rains usually start in the second week of June and continue upto first week of October, i.e., upto Hatia Kaskchhatra. The summer (March to June) weather is characterized by gradual rise in temperature of 41.8oc in the zone reaches in May-June. This season also experiences thunder showers with average 79 mm rainfall coupled with hailstorm, high westerly winds which cause dust storms. The entire zone is under the influence of river gandak, burhigandak and ghaghra, all of which originate in the lime rich foothills of Himalayas. About 70% of the net cultivated area is put under kharif crops, viz. Rice, wheat, maize and pulses are the major crops followed by sugarcane, tobacco, chilli and oilseeds. Amongst the horticultural crops, mango litchi and banana are extensively grown. In irrigated region rice wheat and maize wheat are very popular. The zone gets canal irrigation through one of the major river valley projects, i.e., gandak project of the state. Apart from canals, other important sources of irrigation are tube wells. Tube wells are very popular in the zone due to high discharge of the aquifers. The cropping intensity of the district is 134.23%.

b Middle south plain zone

This AES comprises 5 blocks with 793.3 km2 area (22.83% of district area). The soil is loam to clay loam in texture Rice-wheat cropping system is prevalent. There is tremendous potential of rabi, maize and vegetable in Horticulture and Agri-Horticulture, floriculture, sugarcane, oilseed and pulses including Arhar, summer sunflower and rice (medium)-wheat cropping system and good scope of fish culture.

c Middle North undulated zone

This AES comprises 6 blocks. Area is 217.13 km2. The texture of soil is sandy (40-50%), sandy loam (30-35%) and Loam (15-30%). Rice-wheat cropping system is prevalent, Sugarcane and cucurbitaceous are grown. The ecology has tremendous potential for summer and rabi vegetables cultivation

d Western water logging zone

There are five blocks- The population and the area share of district is 25.91% and 23.77% respectively. Cropping system-Deep water rice (DWR)- Late sown cropping system. Some chaur lands are situated. DWR+Moong / sesame sown by ground water. The soil is clay to clay loam with acidic (6.0-6.7 PH nature) DWR + Lentil as a para crop. Big chaur and numerous ponds provided opportunity for boro rice cultivation, Makhana and fish production.

4 Soil type Characteristics Area in haCalcareous mixture of clay and sand in varying proportion; The soils are sandy loam to clay loam and neutral to alkaline depending on micro situation and local physiography, Deep, loaming alluvium derived soils, moderately rich to poor in N, moderately to very low in available P and medium to high in available K. The soils are sharing symptoms of deficiency of minor elements like zinc, boron and others mostly by highly available calcium.

KVK Saran

The socio-economic and technological profile in the area

Saran district has a total population of 3.94 million as against 103.8 million of Bihar and 1028.7 million of India as per provisional figures of 2012 census, the decadal growth rate being 21.4% against 25.1 of Bihar and 17.64% of India. Population density (No. of persons per square Kilometer) of this district is 1493 which is very high against 1102 of Bihar and 382 of India, resulting thereby a high population pressure on land and compelling the farmers to have a small land holding. The rural population of Saran district constitutes 91.1 % against 88.7 % of Bihar State and 68.8 % of India. This again shows its reflection of higher dependency of rural mass on agricultural land resulting into disguised unemployment of farmers and agricultural labours in one hand and over exploitation of natural resources on the other. The sex ratio (No. of Females per 1000 males) of Saran district is 949 which is much higher against 916 of Bihar

940 of India. This shows a positive thinking of entire population for the females and this gives us a vast potential for women empowerment and creation of Self Help Groups for income generation activities and fighting the challenges of unemployment. The literacy percentage of Saran district increased from 51.8% in the year 2001 to 68.6% in 2012 with decadal increase of 16.8%, the females having higher decadal growth of 21.1% as compared to Males having just 12.4% decadal growth rate. The literacy percentage of rural population was 67.7% against 77.5% for the urban population with a decadal growth rate of 11.4 and 17.4 % respectively. About 12% of total population belongs to Schedule caste category, Schedule Tribe population being negligible (0.2% only)

There has been a significant links between social Composition and Socio-Economic condition. Analysis of the incidence of poverty among social group has shown that poverty is dominantly present across social groups, which are traditionally termed as “backward” in caste configuration of Bihar’s social fabric. This has been found that the incidence of poverty among SC/STs groups is 59% and among OBC category it is 42%. This would mean that a sizeable SC & OBC population of Saran district comes under the category of poor or below poverty line status. Though this is not a good sign for development point of view but it has helped us in designing and fabricating the development plan for the KVK. Out of the total labour force, 51% are Farmers engaged in cultivation, 30% are agricultural labours depending on the farming community and 2% are engaged in Allied Agro-Activities or the Secondary Agriculture. This again depicts great population pressure on the agricultural lands leading to over exploitation of natural resources and disguised unemployment.

Major farming systems/enterprises

Crop Production is the major Farming System of Saran district with majority of farms having Rice-Wheat cropping system followed by Rice-Maize + Potato, Rice-Maize, Rice-Rapseed-Mustard and Red Gram as sole crop. Summer crops are generally not taken due to social problems of grazing by Blue bulls and also by untied pet animals wandering in search of green fodder.

The district is specifically popular for cereals like wheat in the Rabi season (Covering an area of more than 54% of the total cultivable area.) and Paddy in the Kharif season (Covering about 36% of the total cultivable area).

Maize occupies the third position after wheat and rice and is more or less equally important in both Kharif and Rabi (about 18% of the total cultivated area in Rabi and about 16% of the total cultivated area in Kharif). Pulses occupy about 4 % of the total cultivated area in Rabi and about 6 % the total cultivated area in the Kharif season, Red Gram being the most popular pulse crop. Likewise, the oilseeds occupy only 4 % of the total cultivated area in Rabi and only 0.2% in the kharif season.

Animal Husbandry is coming up as new enterprises in the district followed by fishery and poultry. Since, the farmers has very small land holding, these enterprises are flourishing in a big way and our action plans are being devised from time to time keeping in view of these changes in cropping systems.

Distribution of Rainfall: The rainfall is largely due to South-west monsoon which accounts for around 85 percent of total rainfall. The winter rain, hot weather rain and north-west monsoon rains that account for remaining 15 percent of rainfall are not being received during last 3-4 years. This has caused an extensive damage to crop production and the overall income of the district as almost half of the cultivated area is unirrigated and is left to the mercy of the monsoon rains.
