We face acute water shortage and frequent load shedding
The education facilities are quite good in Bijnor. Every village
has a government school. We do have medical, engineering and technical
colleges.
Unemployment is the grave issue faced by the youth. Inspite of being
literate they are not able to find lucrative jobs. This causes another
problem of migration.
Brief About Bijnor District
Binor, or more correctly Bijnaur, occupies the north-west
corner of the Rohilkhand or Bareilly Division, and is a roughly
triangular stretch of country with its apex to the north. The
western boundary is formed throughout by the deep stream of the
river Ganges, beyond which lie the four districts of Dehradun,
Saharanpur, Muzaffarnagar and Meerut, all belonging to the meerut
Division. To the north and north-east in the hill country of Garhwal,
the dividing ling being the submontane road, which runs from Hardwar
along the foot of the Himalayas to Ramanagar, Haldwani and Tanakpur.
This road, popularly known as the Kandi Saradk, belongs throughout
its length to Garhwal, the transfer having taken place a few years
since. On the east the Phika river for the greater part of its
course constitutes the boundary, separating this district from
Naini Tal and Moradabad, as far as its junction with the Ramganga;
and to the south lie the Thakurdwara, Amroha, and Hasanpur tahsils
of Moradabad, the boundary being conventional and undetermined
by natural features. The extreme parallels of north latitued are
29 2' and 29 58' and of east longitude 78 0' and 78 57' from Lalitpur,
the most northerly point, to koti Rao in the furthest eastern
corner the distance in 56 miles; and from koti Rao to Kamharia
in the south-westerly angle 57 miles; and from Kamharia to Lalitpur
62 Miles. The total area of the district is liable to change slightly
from time to time by reason of the erratic action of the Ganges
and Ramganga: in 1906 it amounted to 1,145,272 acres of 1789-5
square miles, the average for the last five years being 1,147,967
acres.
There remains the low fringe of khadir along the Ganges to the
west. This generally resembles the lowlands that skirt the rivers
of the interior, the low flats which adjoin the stream itself
being purely alluvial in character, while above them rises a terrace
of higher ground extending inland as far as the chain of staguant
morasses lying immediately under the bangar cliff. But the khadir
in the district, at any rate in the southern parganas, in of a
very poor description and no whit better than that on the opposite
bank in Muzaffarnagar and Meerut.
The common tongue of the people in the Urdu or Hindustani dialect
of western Hindi. It has sometimes been classified separately
as Rohilkhandi, but there is really no marked distinction in idiom
or vocabulary between this and Hindustani. The last census returns
show that the entire population, with the exception of a minute
fragment of 740 persons in all, gave Western Hindi as their mother-tongue,
and there is no district in the United provinces in which Urdu
is more widely spoken, both by the peasants and the educated classes.
The other languages enumerated were Punjabi, Pahari, Marwari,
Bengali and English, the last occurring in 35 cases only
This district belongs to Moradabad division of UTTAR PRADESH.
