When the land dried up
and the crops failed,
prosperity left Durgapur
The village of Durgapur is 5 kilometres northwest of Mandvi. In the past, when the water table was higher, the land around this place was very fertile. The farmers who lived in Durgapur became quite affluent. Nowadays, the ground is unproductive, but the elegant, richly decorated houses of the village attest to its inhabitants’ former prosperity. Many of the houses have first floor balconies which project over the roadways. These balconies have lovely carved wooden balustrades and are shaded by canopies supported by carved wooden pillars and fringed by delicately carved strips of wood. Many of the older houses have crafted stone window frames and intricately decorated wooden entrance doors.
Today, many houses in the village have been bought by wealthy folk from Bombay, who have also built new homes there. Recently, a large new health centre has been built by members of the Jain community for their own use.
One other thing I would like to state is that instead of trying to fit all your online degree tutorials on days and nights that you conclude work (since the majority people are worn out when they come home), try to find most of your instructional classes on the weekends and only one or two courses for weekdays, even if it means taking some time away from your saturdays. This is beneficial because on the weekends, you will be more rested and concentrated with school work. Thanks a lot for the different tips I have acquired from your website.
