Mow, Gaya

Mow is a village situated on the Gaya-Kurtha Road in the Gaya district in the Indian state of Bihar. It is at a distance of about 5 km from Tekari and around 35 km from the Gaya City of Bihar, India. The village is very developed with all modern amenities.

Mow has a well maintained government hospital, high school, government college and police station. Though the village is mainly dominated by Bhumihar Brahmin's community (a community mainly found in Bihar and Eastern Uttar Pradesh), people from other communities reside together in peace and harmony.

The main source of income for the village is agriculture. The main crops are rice, wheat, pulses, and sugarcane. The irrigation requirements are met by a canal originating from the River Sone.

Mow is one of the earliest electrified villages in the Gaya district, having received electricity in the early 1980s. The people of this proud land are working hard to make the name and fame of this village heard throughout the country (even beyond the country). This village has produced a number of IITians, NITians, BITians, Doctors, Armymen, PO's and Advocates.

Even during the Indian independence movement, people from this village made huge contributions to the independence of the country. The village consists of a number of freedom fighters.^[1]
