3. Description of Agro Climatic Zone and Farming situation of the district

The DakshinDinajpurKrishiVigyan Kendra came into existence on 1st April, 2004. From the very beginning it has been vested upon certain responsibilities to develop socio economic condition of Dakshin District through its mandated activities on organization of vocational training in agriculture, animal husbandry and allied enterprises, on-farm testing in farming system involving crop production, horticulture, livestock, fisheries etc., frontline demonstration on major cereals, oilseeds and pulses and other enterprises related to agriculture, animal husbandry and fishery and in-service training to field level officers of line departments of the state govt. & others. To develop socio economic condition of the district in an effective manner, the KVK undertook exploratory AESA study on the problem, scope, limitations, opportunities and perceived threat (SWOT) in terms of agriculture and its allied sectors of DakshinDinajpur District.

DakshinDinajpur district is situated in the old alluvial agro climatic zone of West Bengal. The region comprises of DakshinDinajpur district, Uttar Dinajpur (except Islampur Sub-division) and some parts of Malda, Birbhum, Bankura, Bardhaman, East Midnapore, Howrah &Hoogly district of West Bengal. Some parts of the district is also included under red and lateritic zone. DakshinDinajpur district is lying between 260 35'15''and 250 10'55''N latitude and 890 0' 30'' to 870 48'30'' E longitude at an elevation of 15 m above mean sea level. The average annual rainfall is 1690 mm with about 66 rainy days. The soils are light, medium and heavy in texture, upland being lighter and medium to lowlands being heavier. The characteristic feature of this zone is inundation caused by sudden heavy rainfall due to lack of proper drainage facilities. During kharif season rice is the major crop. Other important crops grown in pre kharif season is Ausrice, jute and vegetable and in rabi season potato, mustard, vegetable, wheat, pulses, groundnut and sesame are the main crops. The soils are low in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content and the fertilizer consumption (N, P, K) is 89.88 kg/ ha.

The district of DakshinDinajpur came into existence on 1st April, 1992 through the bifurcation of the erstwhile West Dinajpur district. It is bounded by North Dinajpur district on the West, Malda district on part of the south, while maximum southern and entire eastern and northern boundary is encircled by the International border of Bangladesh (Rajshahi and Dinajpur districts). The district comprises of eight Blocks namely Hilli, Balurghat, Tapan, Kumarganj (Balurghat sub-division), Harirampur, Banshihari, Kushmandi and Gangarampur (Gangarampur sub-division).

The main rivers of the district are Punarbhaba, Atreyee and Tangon while Yamuna and Bramhani are smaller rivers. All the rivers flow from and to Bangladesh passing through the district.
