General

Ghogha is a village at the bank of river Ganga and is located midway between Bhagalpur and Kahalgaon. It is well connected to both the towns by road and train and is roughly a 30–45 minutes travel from either of the towns. The growth of Kahalgaon NTPC and increase in the income level of Bhagalpur residents has resulted in a flourish of Brick Kilns in this small village. The main occupation of the village nevertheless is agriculture. The higher than average literacy of the village is due to the location of a number of small schools within walking distance to the village.
