Ujhana is a village and block in the Jind district, located in the northern part of the state of Haryana, India, near the Haryana-Punjab border.[1][2][3]
Overview
Ujhana was established around 1500 CE. It is renowned for its strategic location along NH-52 and its humble, mild-mannered populace. The village is equipped with various community resources.
Ujhana features a range of facilities, including a stadium, a community health centre, four schools, a boating lake, two banks, a gym, a waterworks facility, a botanical nursery, a government veterinary hospital, and a grain market. Additionally, an electric house has been administratively approved. The village is served by the Barwala Branch Canal, which supplies water from the Sutlej River, supporting its agricultural activities.
A notable landmark in Ujhana is the Thaai (Chaupal), constructed in the 1970s through the collaboration of six neighboring villages: Ambarsar, Dhundua, Koyal, Kurar, Nepewala, and Ujhana itself. This gathering place holds significant importance in the local community and is respected by surrounding areas. Ujhana is recognized as the parent village of these five neighboring villages.
Ujhana's economy is primarily sustained by agriculture. The main temple, Ashan, is older than the village and is dedicated to Baba Khak Nath, a revered Vaishnavite Hindu saint.
The indigenous population predominantly comprises the Jat community, with various clans, including Berwal, Chahal, Gill, Malik, Rasila, and Sinhmar.
