MOTIF

‘ACHARYA RAM CHANDRA SHUKLA’

Acharya Ram Chandra Shukla was born on Ashvin Purnima in ‘Samvat’ 1941 at village Agona of district Basti and died of heart attack being a patient of asthama on 6 Magh Sudi of Samvat 1998. His father Pt. Chandrabali Shukla was Supervisor Kanoongo. Acharya Ram Chandra Shukla served the Hindi literature in poems, essays, analysis and translation. He founded Hindi criticism on the basis of scientific system and known as the father of analytical, psychological and creative essays. Seriousness in his style, perfection of tutoriality, behavior and commenting joyfully in a linear way was his amazing capability according to the subject. In the Hindi literature, he gained the same merit which the Richards had in English literature and in the field of essays he is placed with Bekan. As an analyst he enriched Hindi literature and essays as well. With his great exercises in the field of criticism and essays he could change the long periodical style. Acharya Shukla also removed a huge lackness in Hindi literature by writing his great essays on ‘Karuna’, ‘Krodh’, ‘Shradha-Bhakti’ etc. History of Hindi literature was his greatest epic (grantha). He also produced a model by creating ‘Chintamani’. Initially Acharya Ram Chandra Shukla composed poems but possessing a strong efficiency of criticism, he left composing poems and became a successful critic. His personality in the field of Hindi literature was unusual. His soul was fully Indian but clothing taste was western. Though he was super luminary, literary and religious but even then he was a strong admirer of Indian culture and civilization. Self-respect was the principal motto of his life. The famous creations of him are – Chintamani, Vichar, Beethi, triveni as essays, ‘Hindi Sahitya Ka Itihas’, as History, ‘Rajya Ka Prabandh’, ‘Vishwa Prapanch’, ‘Kalpana Ka Anand’, ‘Shashank’ etc. as translations and Basant Pathik and ‘Hirday Ka Madhur Bhar’ as compositions.

FOREWORD The District Census Handbook (DCHB) is an important publication of the Census Organization since 1951. It contains both Census and non Census data of urban and rural areas for each District. The Census data provide information on demographic and socio-economic characteristics of population at the lowest administrative unit i.e. of each Village and Town and ward of the District. The Primary Census Abstract (PCA) part of this publication contains Census data including data on household amenities collected during 1st.phase of the Census i.e. House Listing and Housing Census. The non Census data presented in the DCHB is in the form of Village Directory and Town Directory contain information on various infrastructure facilities available in the village and town viz; education, medical, drinking water, communication and transport, post and telegraph, electricity, banking, and other miscellaneous facilities. Later on, the Telegraph Services were closed by the Government of India on 15th. July, 2013. The data of DCHB are of considerable importance in the context of planning and development at the grass-root level. 2. In the 1961 Census, DCHB provided a descriptive account of the District, administrative statistics, Census tables and Village and Town Directory including Primary Census Abstract. This pattern was changed in 1971 Census and the DCHB was published in three parts: Part-A related to Village and Town Directory, Part-B to Village and Town PCA and Part-C comprised analytical report, administrative statistics, District Census tables and certain analytical tables based on PCA and amenity data in respect of Villages. The 1981 Census DCHB was published in two parts: Part-A contained Village and Town Directory and Part-B the PCA of Village and Town including the SCs and STs PCA up to Tahsil/Town levels. New features along with restructuring of the formats of Village and Town Directory were added. In Village Directory, all amenities except electricity were brought together and if any amenity was not available in the referent Village, the distance in broad ranges from the nearest place having such an amenity, was given. 3. The pattern of 1981 Census was followed by and large for the DCHB of 1991 Census except the format of PCA. It was restructured. Nine-fold industrial classification of main workers was given against the four-fold industrial classification presented in the 1981 Census. In addition, sex wise population in 0-6 age group was included in the PCA for the first time with a view to enable the data users to compile more realistic literacy rate as all children below 7 years of age had been treated as illiterate at the time of 1991 Census. One of the important innovations in the 1991 Census was the Community Development Block (CD Block) level presentation of Village Directory and PCA data instead of the traditional Tahsil/Taluk/PS level presentation. 4. As regards DCHB of 2001 Census, the scope of Village Directory was improved by including some other amenities like banking, recreational and cultural facilities, newspapers & magazines and `most important commodity’ manufactured in a Village in addition to prescribed facilities of earlier Censuses. In Town Directory, the statement on Slums was modified and its coverage was enlarged by including details on all slums instead of ‘notified slums’. 5. The scope and coverage of Village Directory of 2011 DCHB has been widened by including a number of new amenities in addition to those of 2001. These newly added amenities are: Pre-Primary School, Engineering College, Medical College, Management Institute, Polytechnic, Non-formal Training Centre, Special School for Disabled, Community Health Centre, Veterinary Hospital, Mobile Health Clinic, Medical Practitioner with MBBS Degree, Medical Practitioner with no degree, Traditional Practitioner and faith Healer, Medicine Shop, Community Toilet, Rural Sanitary Mart or Sanitary Hardware Outlet in the Village, Community Bio- gas, Sub Post Office, Village Pin Code, Public Call Office, Mobile Phone Coverage, Internet Cafes/ Common Service Centre, Private

CD Block wise data of Village Directory and Village PCA have been presented in DCHB of 2011 Census as presented in earlier Census. 6. The data of DCHB 2011 Census have been presented in two parts, Part-A contains Village and Town Directory and Part-B contains Village and Town wise Primary Census Abstract. Both the Parts have been published in separate volumes in 2011 Census. 7. The Village and Town level amenities data have been collected, compiled and computerized under the supervision of Smt. Neena Sharma,(IAS), Director of Census Operations Uttar Praesh. The task of Planning, Designing and Co-ordination of this publication was carried out by Dr. Pratibha Kumari, Assistant Registrar General (SS) under the guidance & supervision of Dr. R.C.Sethi, Ex-Addl.

ANALYTICAL NOTE

(i) History and Scope of the District Census Handbook

The need of data at the grass root level for the administrative and planning purposes at sub micro level as well as academic studies prompted the innovation of District Census Handbook. District Census Handbook is a unique publication from the Census organization which provides most authentic details of census and non-census information from village and town level to district level. The District Census Handbook was firstly introduced during the 1951 Census. It contains both census and non census data of urban as well as rural areas for each district. The census data contain several demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the lowest administrative unit i.e. of each village and town and ward of the district. The non census data comprise of data on availability of various civic amenities and infrastructural facilities etc. at the town and village level which constitute Village Directory and Town Directory part of the DCHB. The data of DCHB are of considerable importance in the context of planning and development at grass-root level.

In 1961 census DCHB provided a descriptive account of the district, administrative statistics, census tables and village and town directory including Primary Census Abstract. This pattern was changed in 1971 Census and the DCHB was published in three parts: Part-A related to village and town directory, Part-B to village and town PCA and Part-C comprised analytical report, administrative statistics, district census tables and certain analytical tables based on PCA and amenity data in respect of villages. The1981 census DCHB was published in two parts: Part-A contained village and town directory and Part-B the PCA of village and town including the SCs and STs PCA up to tahsil/town levels. New features along with restructuring of the formats of village and town directory were added into it. In Village Directory, all amenities except electricity were brought together and if any amenity wasn’t available in the referent village, the distance in broad ranges from the nearest place having such an amenity, was given.

The pattern of 1981 census was followed by and large for the DCHB of 1991 Census except the format of PCA. It was restructured. Nine-fold industrial classification of main workers was given against the four-fold industrial classification presented in the 1981 census. In addition, sex wise population in 0-6 age group was included in the PCA for the first time with a view to enable the data users to compile more realistic literacy rate as all children below 7 years of age had been treated as illiterate at the time of 1991census. One of the important innovations in the 1991 census was the Community Development Block (CD Block) level presentation of village directory and PCA data instead of the traditional tahsil/taluk/PS level presentation.

As regards DCHB of 2001 Census, the scope of Village Directory was improved by including some other amenities like banking, recreational and cultural facilities, newspapers & magazines and `most important commodity’ manufactured in a village in addition to prescribed facilities of earlier censuses. In Town Directory, the statement on Slums was modified and its coverage was enlarged by including details on all slums instead of ‘notified slums’.

The scope and coverage of Village Directory of 2011 DCHB has been widened by including a number of new amenities in addition to those of 2001. In the Town Directory, seven Statements containing the details and the data of each town have been presented viz.; (i) Status and Growth History of towns,(ii)

Physical Aspects and Location of Towns, (iii) Civic and other Amenities, (iv)Medical Facilities, (v) Educational, Recreational & Cultural Facilities, (vi)Industry & Banking, and (vii) Civic & other amenities in Slums respectively. CD Block wise data of Village Directory and Village PCA have been presented in DCHB of 2011 census as presented in earlier census. The data of DCHB 2011Census have been presented in two parts, Part-A contains Village and Town Directory and Part-B contains Village and Town wise Primary Census Abstract. Both the Parts have been published in separate volumes in 2011 Census.

(ii) Brief History of the District:

Basti was originally known as village. In 1801, the town Basti became the tehsil headquarters, and in 1865 it was chosen as the headquarters of the Basti district in Gorakhpur Commissionaire.

The origin of the name Vaishishthi is attributed to the fact that this area was the Ashram of Rishi (sage) Vashistha in ancient period. Lord Rama with his younger brother Laxman had been here for some time with rishi Vasistha. Basti district also forms part of the holy land of Buddhism, and for some time it was believed to contain Kapilavastu, near which Lord Gautam Buddha was born. The identification of this sacred place was first propounded by Mr. Canlleyle and accepted by Sir. A Chnningham, who believed that the ruins at Bhuila Dih, 18 miles north –west of Basti represented that spot. In particular, the name Hathi Kund, a reminiscence of the Hastigarta, in to which Buddha threw a dead elephant, was actually invented by Canlleyle himself. A part from this ruins of ancient brick buildings are seen in many places in district, which are usually assigned by the people to the Bhars or Tharus.

In 1898 Mr. W.C. Peppe excavated a Stupa at Piprahwakot near the Nepalese Frontier, during the excavation process he discovered a large stone Coffer, in which a number of relic vessels, including two stone vases, one small stone casket, one large stone Lota and Crystal bowl containing bones, cut stones and stars and other pieces of gold leaf were found round the rim of the lid of one of the vessels, now in the Indian Museum is an in script ion, the translation of which has given rise to some controversy. The latest reading by Dr. Fleet explains it as commemorating the enshrining of relics of the Kinsmen of Buddha, which their wives and children and unmarried sisters. On paleographical evidence this record is probably the oldest specimen of Indian writing yet discovered and may date back to 450B.C. The topography of Buddhist India is still very uncertain. But the site of Kapilavastu is approximately fixed owing to the discovery of Asoka pillar at Padalia in the Nepalese Tarai which is not far from the northeastern corner of the district. This bears as inscription showing that it was created at the Lumninigama or Lumbinigrama where Buddha was born and Kapilavastu cannot be far away, Major Bost has suggested the Bhuila marks the site of Ramagrama on the ashes stupa, where the ashes of Buddha funeral pyre where enshrined.

The medieval history of Basti is indeed singularly barren, and practically not a single reference to the tract is to be found in the annals at the early Musalim historians, consequently our sole, source of information lies in the distorted legends of the Rajput Chieftains and the reconstruction of history is rendered mainly a matter of speculation. It lay beyond the recognized routs from the west to east and when the Sultans of Delhi or their armies passed through the old capital of Ayodhya on their way to Patna and the country of Bihar and Bengal, they journeyed thence by river or else kept further to the south by old road through Jaunpur. Even when Ghausuddin Tuglaq made his progress through Bahraich and Gonda and received the submission of the local Rajas on his march to Bengal. He seems to have omitted Basti and to have gone by river from Ayodhya.


4

That Basti formed part of the large province of Avadh cannot be doubted, it was too far from Bahraich and too near Ayodhya to be otherwise Qutbuddin Aibak first subdued Avadh as a whole, and his conquest was confirmed by Muhammad Bakhtiar Khilji, aided perhaps by Hisamuddin Tughlabak, about 1200 A.D. In the Amorha pargana we find, not Rajputs, but Kayasthas as ruling race. The founder of their fortunes was one Raja Jagat Singh, a warlike scribe who is said to have been governor of Avadh in early and to have had his headquarters at Sultanpur, and thus it come about that by the time when the Mughal dynasty was established in the northern India. Almost all Basti was held by Rajput clans with the possible exception of a portion of Maghar, which was held in subjection by the Musalman garrison, Raja Todar Mal had other work to be in Basti, for to him is credited the settlement of the land revenue as set forth in the Aini-E-Akbari, this work is of great value as providing a record, whatever its reliability of the condition then prevailing Basti lay wholly in the province of Subah of Avadh, but was divided between to Sarkars or divisions, the Mahal of Pargana of Ambodha, the modern Amorha belonged to the Sarker of Avadh while the rest formed part of Gorakhpur. After the death of Akbar the references to Basti in contemporaneous history again became extremely meager.

A great and far reaching change come over the scene in 1721when Sadat Khan Burhanulmulk the wazir of the empire became governor of Avadh. The condition of affairs in Basti at that time may be briefly recapitulated in following lines. Bansi and Rasulpur were held by the Sernet Raja, Binayakpur by the Chouhan Kayasth raja while Nagar who was hold by the Gautams Mahuli an older line of Surajbansis and Maghar alone was under the direct control of Nawab’s deputy. The one event of prime interest was the constitution of the present district on the 6th of May 1865 a measure which had long been recognized as necessary for the effective control of so large a tract. The district had played a good role in 1857 freedom struggle and became independent with other part of India on 15th August 1947. The seat of district administration is at Basti. To provide efficient administration the district is administratively divided into 04 tahsils namely, Harraiya, Bhanpur, Basti and Rudhauli (newly created after 2001 Census). For implementation and monitoring of development scheme the district is divided into 14 Development Blocks namely, Ramnagar, Saltaua Gopal Pur, Paras Rampur, Gaur, Harraiya, Vikram Jot, Kaptanganj, Rudhauli, Sau Ghat, Basti, Bankati, Bahadurpur, Kudaraha and Dubaulia (newly created in year 2002). Total area of the district is 2688.0 Sq. Km. The rural area covers 2662.0 Sq. Km. and urban recorded 26.0 Sq. Km. There are 1047 Gram Panchayats and 3348 Revenue villages with 3160 inhabited villages and 188 uninhabited villages in the district. In urban area there are 03 statutory Towns. Statutory Towns comprises of 01 Nagar Palika Parishad and 02 Nagar Panchayats.

o23’ and 27

o30’ North latitude and 82

o17’ and 82

o59’ East longitude. It

comprises to a tract of some what irregular shape. The district is surrounded by Sant Kabir Nagar on the east and Gonda on west, on the south. Ghaghara river separate it from Faizabad and Ambedker Nagar while on the north the boundary marches with Sidharth Nagar district. It’s area is 2,688.00 Sq.km. Physiography: The north portion of the district is along with the boundry of district Siddharta Nagar. In this area there are small nalas & ponds. The river Ami is flowing on the north eastern border. The Garia river is regularised the eastern border of the district, at some distance. In the middle and southern part of the district, the river Kuwana and Ghaghara are the main rivers, besides these rivers there are so many rivers, nalas and ponds in the area. The whole land of the district is made by the soil carried out by the Ghaghara and tributaries. This is generally plain and fertile land which is situated in the north revage of Ghaghra river. The normal flow of water is in the direction of northwest to southeast.

The district is drained by Ghaghara like big rivers along with so many small & big nalas. The river Ghaghara is flowing through the south corner of the district towards the tahsil Harraiya, Basti in the direction of west to east and makes the boundaries of district Basti and Faizabad and the river Kuwana is flowing through the tahsil Basti & Bhanpur. The river Manwan is flowing through tahsil Harraiya, Basti in northwest to southeast direction. The river Ami, in the north, has been divided, the boundaries of district Basti & Siddharth Nagar and in the east, the river Garia makes the boundry line of district Sant Kabir Nagar and flows in tahsil Basti in east direction. On the Basis of geology, soils, topography, climate and natural divisions, the district is sub divided into the following three regions. 1. Basti Plain 2. Ghaghara Khadar 1. Basti Plain:

It covers the central and major part of the district. The plain is locally known as ‘Uparhar’. It is an upland zone which has higher surface area in the western side and slopes towards southeast direction.There are numerous streams which originate from the western side and drains this tract. These are Kuwana, Ami and Garia etc. Which are the parts of the Ghaghara drainage systems known for their flood havoc. Many embankments alongwith streams have been constructed to provide protection from the flood water. In the region, there numerous water bodies which are basically the abandoned courses if the rivers. The plain is very rich in agriculture.

2. Ghaghara Khadar: The region is situated parallel to Ghaghara river in eastwest direction. Its northern extent is delimited by watershed line of the Kuwana river. The area in immediate neighbourhood of the river is low land tract. Flood causes change in the course of river. The tracts in between deep stream and higher bank is known as manjha which are invariably flooded but in north of this it is called as Tarhar or Khadar. The Tarhar zone ends in Basti plain in different proportion, Natural levees, dead arms of the rivers and deposits ox bow lakes are the other physiographic features. To protect the flood, embakments have been consructed at different places. Drainage: In spite of its apparent uniformity of aspect, the district is divided topographically into several tracts roughly speaking these comprise the low valley of the Ghaghara in the south extending from that river to it’s tributary Kuwana. The central upland extends between the Kuwana and the Ami river. These two belts contain several minor divisions, which call for a more detailed description, generally, it may be promised that Basti is very similar in its conformation to the Avadh districts.

Basti has wide alluvial plain, densely populated and in some parts highly cultivated, though the level is only broken by the shallow valleys of the rivers, which generally run in a southeasternly direction. The surface of the country is a gentle slope from the north west to the south east. The mean elevation is about 290 feet above the sea, this is the height of the railway station of Basti while in south of district the level drops from 306 feet above the sea at Belwa, the nearest point to Faizabad to 300 feet at Harraiya. Climate: The climate of Basti some what resembles that of the other sub montance tracts in the north of Rohilkhand and Avadh, though it is milder than in the case with the district in west. The heat in the summer months is less extreme and the westwind of the hot weather are rarely experienced. On the other hand the cold of the winter months is less extreme, and forest seldom occur. For a number of years no thermo metrical observations have been recorded in the district, but past experience shows


8

that the maximum temperature is seldom 43.0oC in the shade in summer, and that the minimum on few

occasions falls 5.6oC, while even in June the nights are usually sets in during April and combines with

local thunder storms from the hills to cool the atmosphere and preserve a tinge of verdant grass. The average and real rainfall in the year 2011 were 1,166 m.m. and real rainfall was 808 m.m. respectively The rainfall becomes more in southern area in comparison of northern region. The climate is generally healthy, in which humidity becomes 50-60%. Natural and Economic Resources: Forestry: In the former days large part of the district was covered with forest of Sal and other trees. The two long stunted jungles of Mahuli are now represented nearly by a strip of dhak which has been left in a tract of usar land to the north of Kuwana, and by small patches which have been preserved in many of the villages for the sake of fuel. The one extensive forest in pargana Basti has been reduced to narrow fring along the banks of the Kuwana river, while the woods that border the Ami and Budha streams have for the most part been cleared, though, there is a certain proportion of shrub jungle remaining in the broken ground along these channels. Mango, Mahua and Bamboo a part from usual type of species of tress are found in the district. In former days when most of country was under forest, the district was rich in large game. In the northern parganas were the hunt of tigers, leopards,bears and even buffalo while spotted deer and other animals, which are now either extent or extremely rare, were common in many parts. The wild animals that remain in the district include the Nilgai, Antelope, Pig, Wolves, jackals, Foxes, Heres, Monkeys and wild Cat. The Indian Crocodile or Nak is common in Ghaghara, and other rivers and also in the larger lakes, especially the Bakhira tal, and the long nosed variety called the Ghariyal, is also found in the those places. Similarly birds and reptiles found in the district are also of usual type which are generally seen in the northern part of India. The area of forest is less in the district. In the forest,Neem, Mahuva, Sheesham, Babool, Jamun and Ecluptus are main tree. Generally, the fuel wood, herbal medicine, and grass etc for animal feeding are got from the forest. The present area available for forest is not enough to cover the necessities. The land & climate are suitable for forest in the southern part of the district. So the forestry work can be done sucessfully is this region. Minerals & Mining: The land survey has not been conducted till now therefore what is under the land, it is not known till now but in the part of north of the district, the drinking water shows that there is oil under the land.
