Village Parasa Khand Story
Wood cutters showed the way
Parahiyas, one of the primitive tribal groups are the residents of Parasakhand.
About Parahiya, it is written in Palamau gazetteer that they are most idle
community and fundamentally they are thieves.
One feels sweet to see the achievement of Ram Naresh Parahiya, Vinod
Parahiya, Vinay Parahiya and their group of 10 members.
Earlier, the only joy and source of income of the community was to uproot tuber
from forest and cut wood to sell as fuel in Daltonganj to get Rs 20 to 30 per day.

Jarurat Ba”.
