Area overview
[edit | edit source]Purulia district forms the lowest step of the Chota Nagpur Plateau. The general scenario is undulating land with scattered hills. Manbazar subdivision, shown in the map alongside, is located in the eastern part of the district. It is an overwhelmingly rural subdivision with 96.32% of the population living in the rural areas and 3.68% living in the urban areas. There are 3 census towns in the subdivision. The map shows the Kangsabati Project Reservoir. The Mukutmanipur Dam is in Bankura district but the upper portion of the reservoir is in Manbazar subdivision. The remnants of old temples and deities are found in the subdivision also, as in other parts of the district. The subdivision has a very high proportion of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. Bandwan CD block has 51.86% ST population, Manbazar II CD block has 48.97% ST population. Manbazar I CD block has 22.03% ST and 22.44% SC. Puncha CD block has 24.74% ST and 14.54 SC.[1][2][3][4] Writing in 1911, H. Coupland, ICS, speaks of the aboriginal races largely predominating in the old Manbhum district. He particularly mentions the Kurmis, Santhals, Bhumij and Bauri.[5]

Demographics
[edit | edit source]According to the 2011 Census of India, Bargoria had a total population of 1,096 of which 557 (51%) were males and 539 (49%) were females. There were 144 persons in the age range of 0–6 years. The total number of literate persons in Bargorya was 676 (71.01% of the population over 6 years).[6]
Civic administration
[edit | edit source]CD block HQ
[edit | edit source]The headquarters of the Manbazar II CD block are located at Boro. The District Census Handbook shows, in its map, Bargorya as headquarters of Manbazar II CD Block, but the website of Manabazar II Block Development Officer mentions Boro as headquarters of the block. The latter appears to be more authentic. District Census Handbooks are the only source showing the headquarters of all CD blocks throughout West Bengal.[7][8]
Transport
[edit | edit source]Bargoria is on the road from Kuilapal, on State Highway 5 (West Bengal), to Ladda, by the side of Mukutmanipur reservoir.[9]
