Kharwa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kharwa is a town in Ratlam District of Madhya Pradesh state of central India. It was formerly the capital of Panth Piploda Province of British India.

Its more a village than a town. It has got few British era buildings including one Mission School, a hostel building and a couple of Huge Bunglows. One impressing structure of Church is also there. This church , "Harcourt Memorial Church", was built in the early years of 20th Century. Now only a handful people are there who are staying in these old buildings. Without proper maintenance, the buildings are slowly losing their Sheen.

The main profession of this village is agriculture. The area also grows opium. It falls under Alot taluka of Ratlam District. There is only one road with few buses connecting it to the nearby cities and towns. Nearest railway station, Mahidpur Road is around 7 km.
