Bhumihar Zamindars contribute to Bihar's Development of Fisheries (Pisci-Culture)

With the blessings of Lord Narasimha, Chote Babu (Mr S.D.N.Singh) of Chainpur Estate is developing more ponds at Konchi (Gaya), thus contributing towards Bihar's agro-development. Also, these ponds are surrounded by trees, thus giving a very beautiful look to the environment. Following ponds are currently under Work in Progress -

Currently, there is so much sand found in these ponds being excavated that the contractors, right from Tekari in the North to Sherghati in the South come and take the sand for construction purposes. So, Chote Babu's mud and sand is now being used in roadways construction to building construction in Bihar. Yet again the Bhumihar Zamindars of Konchi, Gaya are contributing towards Bihar's progress.

Hopefully, by next year these ponds would be fully functional and would serve as a fine example for Biharis on how they can invest and help in their state's progress. Bhumihar Zamindars may have done their part but each and every Indian Farmer can also implement such things which would only enrich the environment they live in.

Bhumihar Zamindars contribute to Bihar's Economic Development and Sustainability - at KONCHI , GAYA (BIHAR)

With LORD NARASIMHA'S Blessings, One of the self-less Bhumihars Zamindars of this era - Chote Babu (Mr S.D.N. Singh, Retd. Electrical Engineer by profession) of Chainpur Estate and son-in-law of Sheohar Raj) has developed fine ponds for Fisheries at his farmhouse at Konchi, Gaya. Once again this not only beautifies the environment but it also helps in maintaining the water table (70 ft. during Peak Summer, Post-Monsoon 10 ft). And it should help Biharis realize the potential of Agriculture in Bihar. Please note that the below pond is an investment done by Chote Babu himself with help from the local contractors hailing from Tekari, Gaya.

The water stored in the above ponds is all monsoon water and if it is not recharged it can be as it is for the next 6-7 months. Also, there is  a nearby Water Tank or "Ahar" , constructed by the Bhumihar Zamindars of Konchi, Gaya of about 150 odd acres which ensures water supply to the village for good kharif production. Such was the planning of the Zamindars that till date their systems have formed the life-line for people across different communities and classes.

The photos above are of the fisheries with trees surrounding the same. This forms the livelihood of the local "fishermen" of the Konchi area. Bhumihars were always meant to be creative and lead from the front in development of society. This is the tribute to folks who are not "I, ME and MYSELF". May BHOOMIDEVI keep SMILING on such BHUMIHAR ZAMINDARS who have always loved their land and worked hard to develop the same.
