Kutri gram panchayat

The gram panchayat is a "village of temples" and the villagers venerate Aadi Shakti, Maa Kali, and Shiva. The largest pond by the southwest corner of the temple to Shiva in the village is a reminder of the village as the historical symbol of Kashi City. The village was a prominent place of Hindu dharma in ancient ages. [4]

Kutri Panchayat consists of the following villages: Kutri, Naromurar, Khirbhojna, and Rampur

Kutri is a Magadh village that is 120 km away from Bihar state's capital city Patna and approximately 20 km from Rajgriha, a capital city during the Magadh dynasty. In the era of the Magadh Dynasty, the administration was strong and the village had a local chief known as the gramakas. Its administration was divided into executive, judiciary, and military divisions. In the Mughal & British era during the Zamindari system, a similar form of administration called kachahari (A tax collection and judiciary system) was practiced in Naromurar—a village of Kutri Panchayat and was headed by Zamindar under Mahalwari system of the British empire. Therefore, ancient Kutri villages were equipped with a systematic administration system but also surrounded by various historical and tourist centres such as Rajgrih, Nalanda, Pawapuri, Kakolat, Silao, Gaya, and Patliputra. Its presence in the centre of these places makes it a good tourist centre with the importance of reminding intact of Hindu religion while the region was undergoing a transition of religious belief from Vedic Ahinsa parmo dharma. Buddhism and Jainism flourished in this region during ancient times with Nalanda University was the centre of education during the Magadh & contemporary Gupta empire, which was a Brahmin dynasty. Kutri has five sub-villages: Naromurar, Khirbhojna, Rampur, Tullapur, and Masankhama. Kutri & Naromurar inhabitants are Bhumihar, Brahmins and Maithil Brahmins.[ citation needed ]

High School at Kutri

As a Magadha Empire village, Kutri has had Vedic education and the judiciary system in ancient times. Nalanda University, an Indian educational institution, is situated near Kutri. During the British Raj, school education started in the 1900s with the establishment of Middle School Kutri in the north of the village. Siya Saran Singh – a teacher of Kochgaon, contributed in proliferating education in Kutri. With Harvansh Kumari's support, they built a primary school of 3 rooms during the Zamindari system. The school was later extended to middle school up to class 7. After Indian independence, Kutri villagers began to attend the BK Sahoo High School at Warisaliganj. It was decided in Oct 1972 during the Durga Puja Festival that a high school was required. It was difficult for girls to get higher education due to the unavailability of high school in nearby locations. In December 1978, Kutri High School became a government-approved high school and is now an inter-high school. Apart from this, there were some coaching classes run privately. Currently, there is one middle school and one inter-high school in the village where students from nearby villages including Naromurar, Gorapar, Lohrajpur and Paingari, come for education. [9]
