  6. jara soch kar dekhiye ap log, yadi gao me logo ko rojgar, education & mahol mile to kya shya wo sirf shahar ki tarah hoga, nahi! use ham swarg ki sangya de sakte hai jaha jaha watavaran bhi sudh hoga, shahar me to swans lene k liye bhi sudh hawa nahi milti, shahar me to kuch khubiyan aur khuch khamiya hai, lekin suwidha hone k bad gao me sbhi khubiya hi hongi, aur tabhi ham sabka gao chodna safal hoga.

  11. Karahia is no doubt a palace of honour in history and in present life. Shree Bansh Raj Singh was principal in Adarsh Vidyalya Dildar Nagar. During session 1985-87 I have also studied under him.
