021---------------------An Island type City in between two rivers--------Hamirpur
1.1 Geographical Structure- Hamirpur city is situated in between Yamuna & Betawa River. Hamirpur city is also known as the Gateway of Bundelkhand. It lies in between 25.7 degree north latitude to 26.5 & 79.5 E longitude to 90.5 E longitudes. Tropic of cancer passes near the district. Therefore the climate is very dry. Minimum temperature is 6 degree centigrade & maximum in summer season goes upto 48 degree centigrade. Average rain fall is 944 mm. annual. Morning & evening natural scenes of the whole district present a very unique view and are not only pleasant ,but dear to heart.
1.2 Historical Background- According to famous English scholar ,Late D.L. Drake Bronkman city ,Hamirpur was established by King Hamirdev in 11th century. King Hamirdev had migrated from Alwar (Rajasthan) & resided here from the security point of view. But some scholars are of views that Hamirpur city was established in between the year 1289 to 1309 by the Chandel Kings. Hathi Darawaja & the ruins of the fort still present at the bank of the river Yamuna prove the presence of Hamirdev. In the vedic age, Chedi Dynasty kings ruled over here. The great king Harshwardhana also ruled over here after the end of Shung & Maurya dynasties. After the Mughal & Chandel kings ,this region came under the control of king Chhatrasar. After the defeat of Nana Govind Rao, East India Company empowered over this region through the treaty of 1802. After the freedom, this region came in to the present shape and position.
1.3 Establishment of District- In 1821, Hamirpur came into existence as a district and its first administrative officer or in modern term the DM was Late Mr. M. Kinsley who had made Sufiganj bazaar after the name of his loving daughter “Sofia” Which is ,at present, known as the main market of city Hamirpur. At that time ,the Administrative control was directly governed from Kalpi. This District remained under control of Allahabad & Jhansi division . After the division of Jhansi, presently this is under the control of Chitrakoot Dham Division. At Present the head quarter of Chitrakoot Dham Division is switched over to Banda.
1.4 Present Shape of District- Area of the District (before division was 7191 s. km. including Maboba, Charkhari & Kulpahar Tahsil), but after the formation of new District Mahoba some tahsils of Hamirpur were merged in newly-carved out Mahoba District. Now Hamirpur, Maudaha & Rath tahsil remain in the District Hamirpur. Newly established tahsil Sarila is also in this District Hamirpur .It consists of seven blocks known as Kurara, Sumerpur, Maudaha, Muskara, Rath, Gogand & Sarila. This District consists of four tahsils & seven blocks ;still waiting for their progress because of its being poverty-stricken and backwardness.
1.5 Contribution in the Freedom Movement- Who does not know about the bravery of Bundelas ? and Who made the history of this region? The major part of this District was under control of the East India Company through the treaty of Basin dated 31st of December 1802. At that time English collector Mr. T.K. Loyed was in power, 1st battle of freedom was started by the Queen of Jhansi Maharani Laxmibai in 1857 & this fire of freedom soon spread all over India. In Hamirpur District ,Late Paramanand was the leader who gave the guidelines of war along with his followers like swami Bramhanand, Bundelkhand Kesari Divan Shatrughan singh, Shripat Sahay Ravat, Jagroop singh, Ramgopal Gupta, Ramlal Verma & Pt. Udit Narayan Sharma.
On 1st June 1857, some villagers of Hamirpur at Ramedi took the decision of struggle & in the 1st week of June, they made a new history when they got released the freedom fighters from the jail. More over on 18th June 1857 ,they shot down the collector T.K. loyed & joint magistrate Donald Grant at the court campus;thus clearly giving the message about the non-acceptance of British yoke.
1.6 Economic Background & Livelihood- From the economic point of view this District is still backward since freedom. Owing to its natural disparities, soil structure, uncertainty of rain, non productive seeds, lack of irrigation facilities & fertilizers, the farmers of the District are still in the problem of their Livelihood. The main occupation of the District is Morang (Red sand). This provides crores of Rupees as revenue to the Govt.,but the irony of the fate of the District is still backwardness ,poverty,unemployment and migration om mass-scale. The habitants of the District anyhow bring up their family and sustain their living ,as a result the future of their children also suffers badly.
1.7 Educational Environment & Means – Bundelkhand Region is the most backward region of U.P. state. The District Hamirpur is the most backward District of Bundelkhand. Even during the changing phases in education, there has not been the proper progress in the field of education. Besides the Govt. I.T.I. in sarila, there is no technical education centre in the District. Regarding the higher education, here is a Govt. P.G. College & Govt. Girls Degree College in Hamirpur but still awaiting for the subject teachers to come, the standard of education is decreasing day by day. New Degree Colleges were also opened in Maudaha tahsil ,but the fate is the same. In Rath Tahsil ,there are B.N.V. Agriculture College, B.N.V. Sanskrit College, B.N.V. Inter College. Recently non - aided private degree colleges are flourishing in Kurara, Pauthiya, Nivada & Sumerpur. The Remaining area of the District is still backward in higher education.
Recently,The District Magistrate G.Srinivas,IAS,did a wonderful job,when feeling the lack and dearth of proper facilities to the youths just ready to start their competitive career,he established the IAS/PCS/Higher competitive Academy for the poor youths,surprisingly,within a very short span,many a students were selected in different services.The people and media appreciated it and Red-Cross adopted it.The efforts of this nature are still to be made.
As for as the secondary education is concerned, there are 22 Govt./aided inter colleges in whole district & 16 Govt. High schools and inter colleges.
The standard of Basic education still needs attention, therefore private school are progressing .The Inhabitants of the District are unable to send their wards to other district to get the proper education. It can be said that it is the bad luck of the people in the district.
1.8 Literary and cultural background:- There have been so many literary person and musician in the district and are present, But they have no cooperation with social and administrative level. Novel king Munshi Prem Chand started writing novel in the district during his service period. Famous novelist Bhagwati Charan Verma started writing the novel “ Chitralekha” in his grand mother’s home. Famous singer Lt. Shri Ganesh Prasad Khare “ Manjul Mayank” also belonged to Hamirpur.
In the cultural field, Kamhariya fair & Kans mela, Maudaha, Jal vihar mela Sumerpur, Ram leela of Rath and Dasehara mela of Hamirpur ,Shiva Barat in Sarila and Hanuman siddhapeeth at sumerpur are famous and still celebrated every year.The Fort of King Sarila suddenly draws our attention.The Hamirpur will be incomplete ,if it goes without the mention of famous Kalp-Vraksha(Kalp-Tree)and chandan (sandal)trees on the river-bank.The beautiful sights at Sangam of Yamuna and Betwa and people enjoying picnic win our heart.
At last ,the people so gentle and polite with hospitality and peace-loving and enjoying each and every community-celebration shall win your heart .
