The Santiniketan Environment
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
In
the mid-fifties, to prevent further erosion by the khoai, soil embankments
were
raised which thereby created little lakes of moderate size. The bunding
of the Mayurakshi
river some distance on the north-west brought Santiniketan a branch of
an irrigation
canal which forms its northern boundary. Thus started, the greening of
khoai
brought about significant changes in the environment. An extensive forest
has
been created where deer graze.
