Matanhail

Tehsil Matanhail, District Jhajjar, Haryana.

The historical village of Matanhail was founded around 550 yrs back by some Mr. MATAN who came from Rajasthan. Initially there was a big jungle and village was inhabited by removing roots of trees of the jungle, so the village was named as Jaddtoli (Jadd means roots). The village has had and is having lot many people of caliber like Colonel Bharpur Singh (Poli Pana), Sh Ram Avtar Sharma (An National level Athlete and wrestler, Poli Pana), Sarpanch Dalel Singh (Near Govt School), Pradhan Umed Singh (First well qualified Sarpanch of Village, Poli Pana). It’s the village wherefrom maximum number of personnel are in Indian Army from any village. It was during World War - II, that some villagers participated in World War with the then British Govt, with a notion that once Britain wins the World War, India will be freed of it's slavery. Village has 1400 acre of jungle. The village has a place of religeous importance commonly known as "Dada Muthra Puri Ki Samadhi". Dada Muthra Puri was a great saint of his time. Though having large literacy rate, villagers need to be more wise, honest, educated, morally sound and socially responsible. They should rise above the social evils like castism so as to take the village to new heights. Lets make it an Ideal Village
