HISTORY
Brief history of the organization/Church
With its Vision “To accept the rejected people from their own community and bind them with the love of Christ and make them a good citizen for the country” Mission for Anath Development & Welfare Society was established in 2001. Seeing the pain and rejection of Garhwal community children, many being left homeless and the word “Anath” (means orphan) was added in the name of the Society. Migrants from higher altitudes of Uttarkashi, other northern states were employed with Border Road Organization, Tehri Dam project and other Government Units in Uttarkashi. The parents used to leave their children near the roads, hospitals, and temples and in public places, this situation disturbed my soul that led me to commit my life for the service of the underprivileged children. Since then the Organization has served and provided charitable education (formal & non-formal) in Sahara Christian academy an educational unit of Mission for Anath Development & Welfare Society. Where 125 poor and needy children studying with professional and spiritual teachers. As Lord was leading us we got the opportunity to run Literacy program in partnership with Seva Bharat for the illiterates. With this program we were able to reach 500 illiterates with education and Word of God. During the same time we did not neglect the Church-planting Ministry, running the Institute of Community Transformation program we were able to train 10 Church Planters and with their help we were able to establish 10 Churches in 10 different villages. Now we have one main Church (Sahara Uttranchal Christian Fellowship) under Shepherd Fellowship of India in our Organization campus with 41 members attending regularly. In this way the organization started the great movement among the Garhwal community establishing the Kingdom of God.

BRIEF HISTORY OF UTTARAKASHI, UTTARAKHAND
Uttarkashi district was created on February 24, 1960 out of what then constituted the parganas of Rawain and Uttarkashi of Rawain tahsil of erstwhile Tehri Garhwal district. It sprawls in the extreme north-west corner of the state over an area of 8016 sq. kms. In the rugged terrain of the mystic Himalayas. On its north lie Himachal Pradesh State and the territory of Tibet and the district of Chamoli in the east. The district is named after its headquarters town Uttarkashi, an ancient place with rich cultural heritage and as the name suggests is the Kashi of north (Uttara) held almost as high a veneration as Kashi of the plain (Varanasi). Both the Kashi of the plain (Varanasi) as well as the Kashi of north are situated on the banks of the river Ganga (Bhagirathi). The area, which is held sacred and known as Uttarkashi, lies between the rivers Syalam Gad also known as the Varuna and Kaligad also known as the Asi. The Varuna and the Asi are also the names of the rivers between which the Kashi of the plain lies. One of the holiest Ghats in Uttarkashi is Manikarnika so is the one by the same name in Varanasi. Both have temples dedicated to Vishwanath.
The terrain and climate of Uttarkashi district provide uncongenial physical environment for human settlement. Yet undaunted by hazards and hardships this land was inhabited by hill tribes since ancient times bringing out the best in man his adaptive talents. The hill tribes namely Kiratas, Uttara Kurus, Khasas, Tanganas, Kunindas and Pratanganas find references in the Upayana Parva of Mahabharata. The land of Uttarkashi district has been held sacred by Indians since ages where the seers and sages had found solace and spiritual aspirations and performed penances and where devas performed their sacrifices and Vedic language was better known and spoken than elsewhere. People came here for learning Vedic language and speach. According to an account given in the Mahabharata, Jada Bharatha a great sage performed penances at Uttarkashi. The Kedar Khand of Skanda Purna refers Uttarkashi and the rivers Bhagirathi, Jahanavi and Bheel Ganga. The district of Uttarkashi was part of Gharwal Kingdom ruled by Garhwal dynasty that carried the cognomen `Pal’ which was changed to Sah during 15th century conferred by Sultan of Delhi perhaps Bahlul Lodi. In 1803 Gorkhas of Nepal invaded Garhwal and Amar Singh Thapa was made Governor of this region. The Gorkhas came into contact with the British power in 1814, as their frontiers in Gharwal became determinous with those of the British. The border troubles prompted the Britishers to invade Garhwal. In April 1815 Gorkhas were ousted from Garhwal region and Garhwal was annexed as British district and was split up into eastern and western Garhwal. The British Government retained the eastern Garhwal. The western Garhwal, lying to the west of the Alaknanda River with the exception of the Dun was made over to the heir of Garhwal dynasty Sudarshan Sah. This state came to be known as Tehri Garhwal and it was merged with the state of Uttar Pradesh in 1949 after India attained independence in 1947.

CULTURE:
Uttarkashi anciently was known as Barahat. Though ‘Hat’ means market but in ancient days it was used for capital. It is told that it used to be the capital of some king. According to Kedarkhand it used to be a part of the Pandav culture. Though majority of the population observe the same social values still different parts depict variety in cultural heritage.

The fair is organised at the local Ramlila ground and goes on for a week.

A glimpse of Magh Mela
A lot of people from all around the district and other parts as well come to see the fair and do shopping from the shops in the fair .At present Jila Panchayat organizes the fair with the help of district administration. Exhibition of different govt. departments is also one of the attractions of the fair.
GEOGRAPHY AND PHYSICAL FEATURES
Lying in the upper Himalayas, Uttarkashi contains within itself varying geographic environments ranging from snow free valleys and outer hills to the high peaks with perpetual snow and glaciers. The terrain runs into series of ridges and valleys. Each ridge leads to another coiling up in seemingly unending chains.
Most of the terrain is mountainous consisting of high-rise ridges, hills and plateaus and flat pieces of land are rare. The land in these areas is now in fertility due to large content of out crops of boulders and gravels. Made-up of alluvial soil, valley is a streambed. Generally forests occur on the upper ridges that bound the valleys. On their sloping hillsides lies a chain of sparsely populated settlements interspersed with terrace cultivation.

Nature expresses itself in breath-taking variations from beauteous landscape luxuriously decked with vegetation punctuated by streams, brooks and rivers to high rise awesome rocky ridges and mountains gently tapering off into lefty snow-capped peaks. The widely varying climate and topography produce a wise range of vegetation and serve as habitats to diverse species of wild life. Forests occupy a place of pride in the environment of the district not only for the sheer bulk of the area they occupy but also for the richness of variety of vegetation. As much as 88 percent of the total area of the district is administered by the Forest Department. Pine forests occur between the altitude of 900-2000 meters, Deodar forests between 2000-3000 meters, Fix and Spruce forests over 3000 metres and Kharshu, Birch and Junipers forests up to the height of 4000 meters. Above the Fir and Spruce forest zone, alpine pastures are found throughout the district between the height of 3500 meters to 4877 meters above sea level. Rich varieties of grass, shrubs and herbs come up during June- September while during the remaining part of the year these areas remain covered with snow. A large number of medicinal plants of great commercial value grow spontaneously in the forests. Some of these grow in the valleys, some in sub-montane tracts while some other on higher altitudes. Forestry too does play an important role in the economy of the district. It employs persons both in preservation and propagation of forests as well as in their exploitation. Herbs are the most important minor forest produce. A large variety of herbs grow wild.
RIVERS AND WATERWAYS
It is the land of Uttarkashi district that gives rise to two great and reverent rivers of India the Bhagirathi, called the Ganga in the plains and the Yamuna. The Ganga coming up in the glaciers `gaumukh’ traverses 128 kms. in Uttarkashi district before flowing down farther. The third important river of this district is Tons besides host of tributaries that drain these areas.
AGRICULTURE AND IRRIGATION
Agriculture in these areas suffers from many constraints. The availability of cultivable land itself is the greatest restricting factor on the development of agriculture. It can be seen from the fact that as much as 88% of the area is either covered by forests or is barren and uncultivable. The land is low in fertility except in the valleys and even land is too few and far between. Shorter agricultural season, low temperature, high altitude, smallness of land holding, perpetual problem of soil erosion due to steep gradients etc. are other inhibiting factors effecting agriculture. The agriculture, therefore, does not offer too much hope for bringing about well being to the people of the area. Sheep rearing for production of wool and meat, orchard raising, spinning and weaving of wool and other cottage industries etc. offer much scope and their potential be exploited to the fullest extent. The cultivation in these areas are carried on largely by making terraces on the sloping hillsides. Some cultivation is done on steep hills also where terracing and tilling cannot be done and burning scrubs and bushes clears the place. The seeds are sown with the help of a hoe. This practice of cultivation is known as `Katil’. Both Rabi as well as Kharif crops is harvested. The main Kharif crops are paddy, small millets and potato and chief Rabi crops are wheat and barley. These crops account for over 80 percent of the total cropped area. Horticulture is another field that can boost up the economy of the district. However, it has not made much headway due to difficulties in marketing the produce, due to poor communications and remoteness of areas.
ANIMAL HUSBANDRY
Animal husbandry is an important source of supplementing income of the rural population. Of the total livestock, bovine population and that of sheep accounted for almost one third each. The production of milk per milch animal is very low. Efforts are under way for introducing high yielding strain. Sheep rearing is an important industry in the district. Yet it does not provide full time employment and it is only avocation for those who are engaged in its pursuit.

INDUSTRIES
The knowledge regarding occurrences of minerals in the district is scanty. As per stray surveys, soapstones, iron, graphite, limestone, kyanite and mica deposits occur in the district. There has been hardly any industrial development in the district. The cottage and village industries play an important role in the economy of the district. The most important cottage industry is the production of wool and woolen goods. Sheep are reared in a large number and the industry flourished at an altitude between 1525 metres and 2440 metres. Carpets (namdas), tweeds, blankets etc. are produced. Other cottage industries are basket making, mat weaving and woodcraft. The potentials of forest and horticulture can be better exploited by locating forest and horticulture based industries within the district. This will bring down transportation cost as a proportion to the selling price of the products, making them competitive in the market. Tourism industry possesses tremendous possibilities of development. The terrain produces some of the rarest spectacles contrasting between awesome raggedness and breath takingly beautiful landscape, which have charmed and challenged man since ages. The location of Hindu religious places takes it beyond the pale of connoisseur and lovers of nature to the common man who throngs for religious
