Encyclopedia
Juropani is a village development committee of the Jhapa district of Nepal
.
It lies in the southeastern border of Nepal with India
. It is located in the southwestern part of the Jhapa District and bordered by Maharanijhoda VDC in the west, Khajurgachi and Gauruganj VDC in the South, Gauradaha VDC in the North, Korobari and Mahabhara VDC in the east. It is in the plain (Terai) of Nepal. There are 9 wards within this village. Mostly Bramans, Chetri, Jaisi, Kumai, Rajbansi, Satar, etc. are living here.
Almost all the villagers are dependent on agriculture
and the main crop they grow is rice in one season. Other crops are also grown but negligible. Most of the Satar cast are without land. They work in other peoples land.
Gwalduba is a place for the trade in this village. Each Friday there is gathering of people for the buying and selling of their product known as 'HAT' or Bazar.
Almost all of the young people live outside of the village. Many live in the Capital of the country, Kathmandu. Some go to Arab countries for employment.
Recently almost all wards of the village are covered by electricity. The quality of electricity is not so good. Probably there are not more than 10 telephone lines in the whole village. There is no connection of drinking water. Peoples use water from the tube well and dug well. There is no problem on water quality but iron is somewhat of a problem. An irrigation system is not available. Farmers have to depend on the rain water. Gauria and Ram Chandre are the major streams flowing throughout the village and both are groundwater fed rivers that have more flow during the rainy seasons. Stream path diversion and encroachment has created flooding many times in the past. There is no bridge over them. It is creating problems for the public in the rainy season.
Some parts of the village are connected with the bus service but the service is not regular. Small rain will stop it. Peoples are politically aware. There is a school within 30 minutes walk. But no college and higher secondary schools. Nearest college with many faculty is 80 km away. Some higher secondary schools are founds within 20 km.
