A Village called Dholan

Dholan is a village that is at a distance of twelve kilometers from
Jagraon.There are a good number of Rajput Sikhs in this
village.Besides agriculture the village is known for its electricians
and the transporters.It was perhaps due to the influence of Sant Fateh
Singhji that a large number of the villagers got employed in the
Punjab electricity board.Dholan is a village where hockey is still
popular among the youth.Recently Government High School Dholan
arranged an educational trip for the students.It was a trip to the
city beautiful.The students saw various places at Chandigarh.Rock
garden ,the sports stadium,museum and the market of sec 17 were among
the places that the students visited.The children were extremely happy
as they rarely get a chance to visit such places. Recently the school
participated in the science and the Maths quiz and secured the ninth
position.The copetition was held at Government Senior Secondary School
Jagraon.

Good bye to the simple past.

What did not change in the past several centuries changed in the past
few years.It is all God's will.All must have been for good.Perhaps it
is the time to say good bye to the simple village life.
