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.
