Khanzadipur
A small village located 42 km from the world famous spiritual city of Varanasi in UP, India. Although it’s a small village, it is home to a diverse group of local residents comprising of farmers, artisans, weavers, teachers, truck drivers, professors, retired govt. and private sector employees and many others. It even has a fully operational Post Office, something that is considered as a luxury in small Indian villages. Commuting is no problem for the village folks as buses, rickshaws, and taxis regularly ply on the two-lane road that connects the NH 4. India’s economic growth has somehow managed to touch this seemingly remote village, evidence of which can be seen in shabbily dressed farmers using mobile phones for communicating with their friends, families and associates. Village elders vouch for the development that is currently taking place in India and have a nagging habit of informing youngsters about how they survived the rough seas and emerged unscathed when most Indian villages faced utmost poverty and famine like situations. The weary eyes of village elders tell you everything and in a way reflect the country’s social and economic history after the independence. The village has schools up to eighth grade, after which students have to trek 2 miles daily to a nearby village having schooling facilities up to 12th grade. Entertainment options are quite limited in the village as there are no movie theaters and village folks cannot depend on television because electricity is a huge problem. The areas surrounding the village are however very scenic. Some of the best weekend destinations are located in and around the village. If you get to Khanzadipur, do not forget to visit the majestic Ganges, the impressive Chunar fort, and innumerable water falls that dot the nearby landscape.
