Dakshin Dinajpur, West Bengal
The Dakshin Dinajpur, also known as South Dinajpur, district was created on April 1, 1992.
The erstwhile Dinajpur District, at the time of partition of India, was split up into West Dinajpur and East Dinajpur. The East Dinajpur district, now called Dinajpur is now in Bangladesh. The West Dinajpur district was enlarged in 1956 at the time of re-organization of the State with the addition of some areas of Bihar. The district was bifurcated into Uttar Dinajpur and Dakshin Dinajpur on April 1, 1992.
Dakshin Dinajpur is predominantly an agricultural district with large area of land under cultivation. The district is drained by a number of North-South flowing rivers like Atreyee, Punarbhaba, Tangon and Brahmani, to give rise to a sizeable but non-organized fishing community.
