Established in 1945, Bani Mandir is legendary name in the locality for helping the poor and for supporting their human rights. In those days, the picture of village-life can not be compared with the present day situation. There were no facilities in respect of Health, Education, Sanitation, Road communication etc. and people had no opportunity to get rid of these inconveniences. On this background a few school teachers and some enthusiastic young people took the initiative and established Bani Mandir. Now, Bani Mandir has become a platform for these people.
