MOTIF

Sangam Scenario

Known as Prayagraj, it is one of the sacred cities of Hinduism and also one of the oldest in India which stands on the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna and mythical Saraswati. The water of the two rivers are of different colours and their meeting point is visible. The Sangam, as it is called, is the venue of many sacred fairs and rituals and attracts thousands of pilgrims who swell to millions during the world renouned fair of Kumbh and “Ardh Kumbh”, which is held on every twelfth and sixth year respectively. Apart from pilgrims, religious Pundits, Sadhus, Sanyasis, and Yogis, people from all over the world assemble during this occasion. Devotee and Mahantas of different ‘Akharas’ keep visiting this pious ‘Triveni Teerath’ from time to time throughout the year, especially during the month of Magh. It is worthwhile to state that the foreigners are also very anxious to take a holy dip at Triveni Sangam. Here, during the month of Magh, ‘Kalpvas’ which is undertaken by numerous devotees for salvation is another interesting and important feature of this religious pilgrimage centre of Hinduism.

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,

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.

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)

3

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:

The district of Allahabad is named after its headquarters City. According to historian Badauni when Akbar visited Prayag in 1575, he founded a new city and named it Ilahabas. It is said by some that this word is a corrupt form of Ilavasa (“Ila” being the name of the mother of Pururavas Aila and “avas” meaning an abode in Sanskrit) which in passage of time became Ilahabad and then Allahabad, Pururavas Aila was the progenitor of the Chandravansh and his capital was Pratishthana (identified with modern Jhusi opposite Allahabad) in early Vedic times. Another tradition has it that the city derives its name from Alha the Banaphar hero. The earlier settlements of the Aryans were established in this city, then known as Prayag” Prayagasya Praveshshu Papam Nashwati Tatkshanam. All sins are cleaned with entry in Prayag ( the ancient name of modern time Allahabad) PRAYAG is one of the historic and mythological cities of India with glorious past and present.

Situated at the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati (an invisible stream), Allababad (Prayag) has been one of the most important sacred places of the Hindus since very early times. On his exile from Ayodhya, Rama proceeded towards the Ganga, on whose banks lay the kingdom of Guha (the king of Nishadas) with its capital at Shringaverapur (modern Singraur in Pargana Soraon). He then crossed Ganga and reached Prayag, where the hermitage of the sage Bharadwaja was located. On his way to meet Rama, Bharata, and his brother also stayed here. According to the Mahabharta, Brahma, the god of creation, performed sacrifices here, who gave the place, the name of Prayag (pra denoting excellence and yaga sacrifices).

During the reign of Akbar the present district of Allahabad was in the Subah of the same name. The greater part of the district lay in the sirkars of Allaabad and Kara and the rest formed part of Bhatgova (the hill territory of Bundelkhand) and the Sirkar of Manikpur. There were eleven Mahals in the Sirkar of Allahabad- Illahabas, Hadiabas, Jalalabad, Soraon, Sivgrauv, Sikanderpur, Kusi or Kiwai, Khairagarh, Mah, Bhadoli and Kantit Mah. In 1612 Rustam Safavi (who was promoted to the rank of mansabdar of 6000) was appointed governor of Allahabad. The office of faujdar being held for several years and upto 1615 by Mirza Abdu-s-Subhan. In that year Jahangir (the title taken by salim on becoming emperor) conferred the jagir of Allahabad on Jahngir Quali Khan but in the following year he was replaced by Prince Parvez. In 1620 Qasim Khan was appointed governor of that place and was given the title of Muhtashim Khan. When Shah Jahan fell seriously ill in 1657 a war of succession broke out amongst his four sons (Dara Shikoh, Shuja, Aurangzeb and Murad Baksh and for some time Allahabad became the scene of their struggle against each other. In 1658 Aurangzeb declared himself emperor (having made Shah Jahan a prisioner).

During the reign of Bahadur Shah I (1707-1712) the subah of Allahbad was held by Hasan Ali Khan (better known as Abdullah Khan) one of the two Barha Saiyed brothers. In 1735 Muhammad Khan

Bangesh was appointed Subedar of the province. He procured the aid of rajas of Bhadohi and Kantit and sent them to seize Arail which was held by Saiyed Mohmmad Khan on behalf of Shah Nawaz Khan. They had nearly won when Shah Nawaz Khan, marching all night from Laljalwa (in pargana Singrauv) crossed the Ganga at Kasaundhan and arrived at Arail and defeated them. Surbuland Khan was reinstated in 1736. Three years later the province was given to Amir Khan Umdat-ul-Mulk who held it till his departure in 1743. All these years the Marathas had made matters difficult for the subedars of Allahabad. In 1743 Safdar Jang (the Nawab Vizir of Awadh) who was made governor of the province of Allahabad, appointed Nawal Rai as his deputy and in 1749 the later led an army against the Bangesh domain of Farrukhabad. Shah Alam, succeded to the throne in Demember, 1759. In 1761 while returning Delhi (after his defeat in Bengal) he was interned by Shuja-ud-daula for some time at Allahabad. On August 16, 1765 a treaty was signed at Allahabad by which Shuja-ud-daula ceded the district of Allhabad and Kara to Shah Alam. He also agreed to pay to the East India Company a war indemnity of fifty lakhs of rupees. Allahabad remained the residence of Shah Alam II (the emperor) till 1771.

On 14th November 1801 the district was ceded (with some other areas) by Sadat Ali Khan to the East India Company in settlement of the amounts demanded by them for the maintenance of their troops at the expense of the Nawab Vizir. From this time, Allahabad became a military station and the head quarter of the civil district. In 1834 Allahabad was made the seat of government of the north-west Provinces and a High Court of judicature was established in the year 1866 both being transferred to Agra a year later. In May 1857, the fort of Allahabad was garrisoned entirely by Indian Soldiers. The news of commencement of the freedom struggle at Meerut on May 12th, 1857 reached Allahabad two or three days later. In January, 1858 Lord Canning (the Viceroy) arrived at Allahabad and in February he announced the formation of the whole of the north-West Provinces into a lieutenant Governors province transferring the seat of government from Agra to Allahabad. The retransfer of the High Court followed in the year 1868. During the latter half of the 19th century, Allahabad became a centre of movements connected with religious reforms.

(iv) Physical Features:

Location and Size:

The district lies at the east corner of the Allahabad revenue division bordering with the State of M.P. in the south side of Uttar Pradesh. It is situated from 24047' to 25045' north latitude and from 810 45' to 820 30' east longitude. The area of the district is 5482 sq. km. The district is bounded in the east by district of Sant Ravidasnagar Bhadohi and Mirzapur, on the north-east side by district Jaunpur, on the west by district of Kaushambi, on the southwest side by district of Chitrakoot, on the north by district of Pratapgarh, on the southeast side by district of Mirzapur, while on the south side lies the district Reewa of State of M.P. The district is about 63 km. from east to west and about 109 km. from north to south. Physiography :

The entire district The entire district may be sub-divided into three parts (i) Trans-Ganga tract, (ii) the Doab, and (iii) Trans- Yamuna tract. The Trans-Ganga tract is even in nature, while trans-Yamuna is uneven. Soraon, Phulpur and Handia are tahsils of trans-Ganga tract while Bara, Karchhana, Meja and Koraon are the tahsils of the Trans- Yamuna tract. The town of Allahabad (Tahsil Allahabad) lies in the Doab tract. In view of the spatial variations in geology, physiography, soils, vegetation and climate etc, the entire district has been subdivided into sub regions as under: Yamuna Flood Plain It is a strip along the Yamua river on the south-western margin of the district proceeding further upto the confluence with the Ganga. Shankergarh-Manda Uplands It lies in the southern part of the district. Physiographically it is apparently distinguishable from other sub regions of the district as it has an average height of 100 meters, a rugged and dissected topography, patches of stony waste with a few forest patches and numerous channels (e.g. Tons, Belan, Lapvi etc.). Geologically, it is a part of Kaimur series rocks of Upper Pre-combain and lower Palaeozoic periods. Ganga Flood Plains It is a long and under strip along the Ganga stretching from north-west to south east across the district having an average width of 15 kms. The area on both the sides of Ganga is liable to flood during rains. It is a plain with the features such as natural leaves, meanders, sandbars etc. Geologically, it is plain with deposition of alluvium of recent age. Soraon –Phulpur Plain Lying in the north east of the district alongside the Ganga Flood Plain, it is a monotonous flat plain although having long belts of Khadar land Despite a flat terrain, locally it leans to the north in Soraon tahsil to the south in Phulpur tahsil and to the east in Handia tahsil as is evident from the local drains/streams flowing in the respective areas. Geologically, it is also characterised with the alluvium of recent age. Drainage : The rivers of the district belong to the main system of the Ganga and comprise several sub systems of which the most important are the Yamuna and the Tons. The district headquarters town of Allahabad is bounded by rivers on three sides. In the trans-Ganga tract the drainage is not proper and there lay a series of ponds and depressions. Ganga touches the district about 4.8 km north of Afzalpur Saton (a village in tahsil Sirathu) and forming the northern boundary of the district for about 35 kms, flows in a south –easterly direction past Kara and Shahzadpur to the village of Basenhi where it enters the district. The Yamuna or Kalindi is the chif tributary of the Ganga in the district and is personified in Hindu mythology as Suryatanya, the daughter of


8

Surya (the sun god) and as Yamasvasa, the sister of Yama (the lord of death). It first touches the district about 3 kms north of Mawai where it is joined by the Kanibara and flowing southwards runs along the border of the district. The district is also drained by nullahs like Dorman, Kalla, Gahera etc Climate : The district is a tropical one as other districts of U.P. During the summers the heat is intense as is the cold during the winters. About 85-90 per cent of rainfall occurs during the monsoon. The rainy season is bearable in comparison to the summers. The humidity during the rainy season is high. The winter starts during the middle of November and reaches at the climax during January. Natural Economic Resources Forestry : The forest cover in the district is limited to C.D. Blocks Koraon, Shankargarh, Manda and Meja. Chief trees found in the forest are Khair (Acacia catechu), Babul (Acacia arabica), Shisham (Dalbergia Sissoo), Harra (terminais chebula), and Mahua (Madhuca indica) Neem (Azardivchta indica) Aonla (emblica officinalis) and Teak (tectona grandis). The supply of fuel, fodder, gum, aonla, harra, bahera (Terminalia bellarica) and bamboos (Bambusa species) is made from these forests. The bark of babul is used for tanning purposes. Munj (Evianthus munja) is used for making rope and the leaves of tendu (Diospyros tomenlosa) for making biris. Minerals and Mining : The mineral products that are commonly found in district are glass, sand, building stone, kankar, brick earth and reh. Some of the best glass sand deposits are found in the neighborhood of Shankargarh, Lohagara (both in tahsil Karchhana) and the requirement of most of the glass factories in northern India are drawn from these deposits, the whitish sand being derived from the friable sandstone in the area. The Kaimur sandstone is an excellent building stone. It lies in beds varying between 150 mm and 2.5 m in thickness and is extracted either by blasting or by splitting the chief quarries being at Sheorajpur. Kankar is available throughout the doab and the trans-Ganga tract but the better beds are found at Lawain and Banswar in tahsil Karchhana. Brick and earthen pottery are available in the alluvial tract of the district and are locally used for manufacture of bricks and earthernware, the city being well known for its bricks and tiles. Reh is found as a white encrustation in the Usar land especially in the trans-Ganga tract. Soda ash, which is extracted from it is used in the making of soap and glass, for the treatment of hardware, in the dyeing industry and, when rich in sodium sulphate for the extraction of Sulphar. In its slightly purified form it is often used by dhobis as a substitute for soap. Soil : The soils in the doab and the trans-Ganga have many peculiarities. They are baluea (or sand) which is found along the banks of the rivers corresponding to the bhur of other districts. Matiar or clay (locally called chanchar), which is found in the depressions, is of heavy variety fit solely for the cultivation of rice and can be worked only when thoroughly soaked and dumai or loam, a mixture of sand and clay which is usually a rich and rather dark soil, the less fertile variety which is a sandy loam, being locally known as sigon. Land and Land Use Pattern : The district is covered with a network of rivers and nalas and the soil mostly is matiyar domat and baluai. Land is fertile and all type of crops are grown.
