General

[edit]

Ghogha is a Village at the bank of river Ganges and is located between the cities of Bhagalpur and Kahalgaon. Pakkisarai is a village near to ghoga and comes under the jurisdiction of Ghoga Thana (sub police station). It is well connected to both the towns by road and train and is at a distance of about 11 kilometers from Kahalgaon and 24 kilometers from Bhagalpur. It is roughly a 15 minutes travel from Kahalgaon and 30–45 minutes travel from Bhagalpur. The growth of Kahalgaon NTPC and increase in the income level of Bhagalpur residents has resulted in a flourish of Brick Kilns in this small village. About half of these Brick Kilns are exactly located in the village of Pakkisarai. The main occupation of the village nevertheless is agriculture. The higher than average literacy of the village is due to the location of a number of small schools within walking distance to the village. Moreover, the Saint Joseph's School situated at Pakartalla, has become the primary educational organisation, providing high-quality education to the children of Ghoga and Pakkisarai. Vikramshila, located approximately 16 kilometers from Ghoga is a tourist attraction.
