DULHA
Dulha is a small village in Bisfi block of Madhubani district in the state of Bihar, India. The population is dominated by Maithil Brahmin. The location is 26°20'41"N and 85°56'35"E.

The village is surrounded by Bhoj Pandaul (village) in East, Rupauli (village) in North-West and Khairi Banka (village) in South. The literacy rate is 90%. Agriculture is the main occupation but now majority of population have migrated to cities in search of better job prospects. The village has one government run middle school and a health centre. High school students have to travel 6 to 7 KMs every day to reach their schools. The popular schools are government school located at Keoti Ranway and Simri. The Government Sr Sec School at Keoti Ranway used to be one of the best in the area. For higher education, students have to either go to Madhubani or Darbhanga and stay in lodge (private hostels) untill they complete their education. This is very expensive students whose parents income entirely depend on agricultural productivity. Girls students suffer a lot as they generally leave studes after 10th as their is no schools or colleges in nearby location.

The village has five ponds which are main source of water for general purpose. Earth water is the main source of the drinking water here. The village is fully electrified but there is inconsistent supply of it. And therefore, there are private generater operators who have become main supplier of electricity.

The agricultural production include paddy, wheat, maize, pulses, vegetables, mango, etc.
