Journal Title: International Journal of History and Research (IJHR) - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
North Bengal is a distinct part of the present state of West Bengal. From the census of India, 1891, Vol. III, North Bengal was comprised of the districts of Rangpur, Dinajpur, Bogra, Pabna, Malda, Rajshahye, Darjeeling, Jalpaiguri, and Kuch Bihar. We will confine our discussion on the six districts of present -day North Bengal by placing it to the colonial North Bengal. The entire landscape of the northern part of the state diversified with Himalayan hills, sub-Himalayan regions and plains are recognized as hill, terai, duars, and plains. As the title denotes “The Public Health Administration in Colonial North Bengal: 1880-1947”; our primary concern will be limited to that period. This is the first time effort to give a discussion on the health condition of this vast place. The primary sources collected from the West Bengal State Archives have given me this opportunity to place the theme a great success.
