construction. So whenever there is a dispute, people say, “Let’s call

            Jetha Ba to settle the problem”.

            And last, but not least, we respect

            Jogendra Yadav, a well known
            farmer of Saptari district. He is
            a retired agriculturist. He grows

            rice,  wheat,  maize,  vegetables
            and other grains. He has planted
            vegetables,  fruits and ginger

            in  his dry land.  He also  raises
            cows, buffaloes, goats and hens.

            He has a good knowledge about modern farming, fertilizers, good
            quality seeds and insecticides. Farmers from different places of the
            district come to him to learn about vegetable and fruit farming. He

            also donates some of his income from farming and animal husbandry
            for the welfare of his community.


            We are always grateful to these three people for making our district a
            good place for living. Many of us want to be like them in the future.
            Indeed, they deserve to be respected by all for their great work for

            the district.
