Hello everyone,
I welcome you all to my blog. I am an Undergraduate Student at Indian School of Mines, Dhanbad, India.
My hometown is Jamui ,Bihar, India. I would like to let the information available about jamui on the web. So, here I dedicate my first post to my lovely hometown.
Jamui was formed in 1991 as a result of its separation from Munger. The district, located in the centre of Bihar has a total area of 3122.80 sq kms. With Munger and Lakhisarai in the north, Giridih in the south, Deoghar and Banka in the east and Nawada in the west .The city of Jamui is at the outskirts of south Bihar. The main towns in Jamui district, apart from Jamui are Jhajha, Gidhaur, Mallepur, SONO, Sikandra, Chandradeep, Aliganj, Chakai and Khaira.The JayaPrakash Narayan International Airport in Patna is about 161 kilometers away and the Gaya International Airport is only 136 kilometers away.Jamui is well connected by Railroad from Kolkata ,Patna ,New Delhi,Cochin,Mumbai,Bangalore, Hyderabad,Ahmedabad, Chennai and Guwahati . The facility of Bus root is also available which connects it to Patna,Deoghar,Bhagalpur and Ranchi.
Jamui has been divided into four legislative assembly seats of the state.The whole of jamui district comes under the Jamui Loksabha seat.It has 11 blocks named as Laxmipur,Barhat,Jamui,Chakai, jhajha,sono,khaira,sikandra,asalmanagar,aligunj and gidhaur.
Whole population of district is around 1.3 million.People of sc/st comprises 25% to the total population. 90% people used to live in Rural area and rest 10% of total population resided in suburbs of the district.Males constitute 52% of the population and females 48%. Jamui has an average literacy rate of 42%, lower than the national average of 59.5%.
The town of Gidhaur, situated 17 kilometers away was the seat of kings during the British Raj and many buildings from the period still survive. Minto Tower in Gidhaur is a prime example of architecture from the period. Jamui district is also famous for having many places related to the origin of Jainism. There is a holy place situated at jamui named gidhyachal parvat or gidheswar,which is 13 km away from jamui railway station and 3 km from bhounr. The story of gidhewar is related to ramayana. The famous picnic spot Bhimbandh is situated just at a distance of 10km from Laxmipur. The mountains of Bhimbandh have resources to produce hot water, as a result of which there are several rivers and ponds of hot water. This place has been given adequate infrastructures to lure the tourists around.
On the several hectares of it area there are mountains and forests.Some of the rivers also delights the area named Mohane, Harohar and Kiul. Main crops are rice, Wheat,Lentils. Mining and agriculture are the two main source of revenue of Jamui. With 55,570 hectares of net cropped area, it has reserves of Stone Chips, Granite, Morram Sand, and Quartz among others.
With 28 Commercial Banks and 35 Gramin Banks, the district has a Sub-divisional Hospital, 7 Primary Health Centers, 3 Referral Hospitals, 152 Health Sub-centers, 3 Gramin Aushadhalayas, and 24 Additional Primary Health Centers. It boasts of achieving the national target of 40 litres of drinking water per person per day.With 474 Primary Schools, 45 High Schools, 2 Degree colleges, 7 affiliated Colleges and 202 Sarva Siksha Aviyan Schools, Jamui is pacing up towards a rewarding future. But, Naxalite is a big problem to the administration of the district.
Enriched with full of untapped natural resources, Jamui is all geared up to compete with the best cities through the implementation of its various welfare schemes. I hope to see it within the top cities of India in next few years.
So my fellow residents of Jamui, wake up. I would love to see your comments.
