2011 Bihar: Post-Division Total Villages 45,103 Electrified villages 18,217  Percentage  of Elec. Vill 40.38% All India 84% Villages Electrified

 As per the Govt. of India programme for electrification of all villages by 2009, in the State of Bihar very few schemes for village electrification are being carried out.

	To take up cent percent of the electrification in the State, the State Govt. has entered into an agreement with Rural Electrification Corporation (REC), BSEB and the GOl power sector undertakings of Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd. (PGCIL) and National Hydroelectric Power Corporation (NHPC).  This programme is being implemented under the GOl scheme for “Electrification of one lakh villages and one crore households”. The funding for this scheme is being made by REC as grant and loan components. The central undertakings are implementing the rural e1ectrification works in the 36 districts, with NHPC taking up works in West Champaran, East Champaran, Sitamarhi, Sheohar, Darbhanga, Samastipur and Madhubani. The remaining  districts are being taken up by PGCIL.

 has been implementing programme of non-conventional energy sources for schemes are bio-gas development, SPV systems of Lanterns/Home lighting systems/street lighting systems, and wind mills. Under the Border Area Development Programme, BREDA has implemented a scheme of solar street lighting system in 40 villages along the International Border.

Unusual Visitor to Chakauti: Swami Seva Dass new activities at Sheetaleshwar Sthan

Sheetaleshwar Mahadeva has been blessing Chakauti villagers from  time immemorial. Most people of Chakauti have enjoyed His Blessings throughout historical times. The legend goes Lord Mahadeva prefers to stay there in a domeless, roofless temple in Chakauti and has thwarted the efforts of several people in the past to build a covered temple there.

Now Chakauti has a new guest in the shape of Baba Swami Seva Dass, who started a number of activities at Sheetleshwar Sthan in Satti in Chakauti. Among all, he has planned a Mahaa Rudra Yagya from June 2, 2011 to June 10, 2011 and  a Grand Temple for Lord Shiva by raising donations from the villagers and others.

To execute his plan, he plays with faith and miseries of people. He himself and some of his active volunteers are adicted to Bhaang and Ganjaa,  who alongwith  Baba have  Ganja sessions during day and night. He distributes to his selected devotees Ganjaa alongwith prasaad. 

Those with diseases receive Dev Tulsi as his prasad. I was scared  to receive Dev Tulsi offered by him on the doubt of it being some sort of unexperimented drug, perhaps some form of Ganjaa,  He offers cures  for  variety of ailments to hapless villagers by using unknown botanical roots (Jarri) and his own magical powers. He flaunts a huge Jataa (unkempt lock of long hair) and prefers to remain Clothless(digambar), though he can also be seen with a loin cloth on.  He claims to know peoples past and predict future and throws comments like "you are troubled by planets - Tere ko grahon ki pareshaani hai" and  and thereafter demands huge unimaginable quantities of ingradients  for the forthcoming Yagya  to his targetted doner. 

Upender Paswan elected Mukhia again: Chakauti's hopes associated with him

Paaswaan elected Mukhia again:an defeated Nagender Ram

Chakauti Panchayat Election Results 2011

Upender Paswan elected Chakauti Mukhiya for the second time.  He has great plans. He has vowed to get Chakauti Village connected by good motorable tar road with the Block Offices at Bokhra and Nanpur.  This will uplift the lives of villagers not only in Banrahi tola and Darrima tola, but also Bharaon and Katraul.  The road connecting Darrima  with Mushhari Tola and Malahtoli of Chakauti are also planned to be upgraded.

However the Government does not yet have any plans

to connect Pandit Tola with the village either through 

motorable road or through electricity connection.

Bindessar Paswan, Grand Old Man in his eighties, today still carries the heavy burden on his head, not only of his farm products but also of the problems faced by villages. He has incessantly worked through out his life for upliftment of his communinity.  His son, Upender Paswan Mukhiya,  has kept himself away from the village, but not from politics, for fear of  physical assaults from his opponents. His mother is busy in her house hold  activities & waiting for her son's return to the village.

Vinod Manjhi, former  Mukhiya had an uphill task this time.  Govt's Rural Development Assistance  reached few BPL families under his regime.He developed large number of rivals. http://chakautivillage.blogspot.com/2011/05/mukhiya-ji.html


There were nine candidates for  Mukhiya's post, namely

1) विनोद माझी

2) बुलंद माझी

3) राम अवतार माझी

4) उपेंदर पासवान

5) रजिंदर पासवान

6) ललित पासवान

7) श्याम राम

8) फूल बदन देवी 

9) शांति देवी 

Some of them have long criminal records having served several years of prison on criminal charges.   

Nagendra Jha, Earstwhile Chakauti Mukhia of 20th Century has larger political views and ambitions. He is quite active in Congress Politics.He had written a detailed Election Manifesto on behalf of Indian National Congress for the purpose of Bihar Assembly Elections in 2010 and forwarded it to Ms. Sonia Gandhi, the Congress President. Bihar Congress Chief Coordinator had offered him a ticket for the Assembly Elections.  However, in his selfless style, he recommended the name of Shri Gajadhar Thakur for the ticket, who eventually lost the seat. Other ex-Mukhiyas, who have clean records, though desire to continue in village politics, are debarred on the grounds of belonging to the majority population upper castes.
