Kankjol is a village in Barharwa block of Sahibganj district, Jharkhand. It was historically the seat of a pargana. As of 2011, it has a population of 2,501 people, in 514 households.
John Beames identified Kānjkol with the "Kánakjok" of the Ain-i Akbari, which is listed as a mahal in sarkar Tanda. [2]: 96 This mahal was listed with an assessed revenue of 1,589,332 dams. [3]: 130 According to Irfan Habib, the mahal of Kānkjol must have covered a "very large" area. [4]: 42 Its area was increased even further under the Nawabs of Bengal in the 1700s, when several parganas (including Rajmahal) were merged into its territory. As a result, the pargana of Kānkjol came to occupy a vast territory stretching downstream from Purnia along both sides of the Ganges. [2]: 96
According to the 2011 Census of India, Kankjol had a population of 2,501 people, in 514 households. The population was 49.9% male (1,247) and 51.1% female (1,254). There were 547 children between the ages 0–6 in the village, or 21.2% of the total population. [1]: 248
