DISTRICT PROFILE

Bankura district is surrounded by the districts of Midnapore and Hooghly in the East,Purulia in the West,Burdwan in the North and again Purulia and Midnapore in the South.It is somewhat triangular in shape and lies within 23038’ to 22038’ North latitude and 86036’ to 87046’ East longitude.

The major part of the district is characterized by undulating topography. The average slope of land varies from 0.4% to 10%. The soil is mostly lateritic, light in texture and acidic in nature. The fertility status is also very low. The soil is light and porous in nature with low organic mater and low water holding capacity. However eastern and southern part of this district is more productive than western part.

The altitude of Bankura Railway Station is 84 meters above MSL with highest point of 427 meters in the Susunia Hill, whereas Susunia farm is 100 meters above MSL & Bishnupur 70 meters above MSL.

The river Dwarekeswar and Kangsabati are major rivers of the district. Others notable ones are Silabati,Gandheswari,Sali,Joyponda,Birai,Amodaetc. The river Damodar separates the district from Burdwan in the North.

Use of Fertilizer, Improved seeds, Organic manure and Pesticides are increasing day by day. Farmers have now been habituated to use Agril. Implements like Tractor, Power Tiller, Thresher, Pump set, Sprayer etc. in the field of Agriculture. Paddy-Transplanter, Paddy- Reaper, Drum-Seeder etc has recently been introduced.

Rice is the main crop of the district. Though the district is prone to drought, it can raise surplus food production in years of good rainfall. Besides rice, the major crops are Potato, wheat, Vegetables, Mustard, Summer Til etc. Like rice, the district is also surplus in Potato & Vegetable production. The district is lagging behind in the production of Pulses & Oilseeds. We are to give special emphasis in production of Oilseeds & Pulses by introducing new varieties of Pulse Crops like.Arhar, Lentil, Gram,Khesari,Kalai,Moong etc. Ground Nut and Sunflower have been introduced in Rabi season to meet up the gap between demand and production of Oilseed crops. Broccoli and Capsicum are also cultivated by farmers of this district to meet up the demand of the local people.
