===Area overview===
Alipurduar district is covered by two maps. It is an extensive area in the eastern end of the [[Dooars]] in West Bengal. It is undulating country, largely forested, with numerous rivers flowing down from the outer ranges of the [[Himalayas]] in Bhutan. It is a predominantly rural area with 79.38% of the population living in the rural areas. The district has 1 municipal town and 20 census towns and that means that 20.62% of the population lives in the urban areas. The scheduled castes and scheduled tribes, taken together, form more than half the population in all the six community development blocks in the district. There is a high concentration of tribal people (scheduled tribes) in the three northern blocks of the district.<ref name="handbook">{{cite web |url = http://wbpspm.gov.in/publications/District%20Statistical%20Handbook |title = District Statistical Handbook 2014 Jalpaiguri |work = Tables 2.2, 2.4b |publisher = Department of Planning and Statistics, Government of West Bengal |accessdate = 29 June 2020}}</ref><ref name=census2011>{{cite web| url = http://censusindia.gov.in/pca/cdb_pca_census/Houselisting-housing-WB.html |title = CD block Wise Primary Census Abstract Data(PCA) | work= 2011 census: West Bengal – District-wise CD blocks|publisher= Registrar General and Census Commissioner, India | accessdate = 29 June 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = https://censusindia.gov.in/2011census/dchb/DCHB_A/19/1902_PART_A_DCHB_JALPAIGURI.pdf| title = District Census Handbook, Jalpaiguri, Series 20, Part XIIA| work= Census of India 2011, page 13 Physiography| publisher = Directorate of Census Operations, West Bengal |accessdate = 18 June 2020}}</ref>

According to the Study of Labour Condition in Tea Gardens of New Jalpaiguri carried out by the Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta, the plantations of North Bengal (Dooars area) produce just average tea and do not have the brand value of [[Darjeeling tea]] or [[Assam tea]].

Kalchini block has 18 tea gardens, mostly in bad shape and some closed.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.cry.org/resources/pdf/LabourConditions_IIM_report.pdf | title =Study of Labour condition in Tea Gardens of New Jalpaiguri| publisher = Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta |accessdate = 2 July 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.telegraphindia.com/west-bengal/tea-garden-closed/cid/1525759 | title = Tea garden closed | publisher = The Telegraph, 9 February 2017 |accessdate = 2 July 2020}}</ref>
