ABSTRACT
Makhana is a kind of seed produced from an aquatic crop, which is normally grown in ponds. About, 80% of total Makhana comes from Darbhanga, Madhubani, Purnia and Katihar district of Bihar. A single Makhana plant produces about 100 seeds and there are about 10,000 plants in one ha of pond area. The yield of raw Makhana seed is about 1.8-2.0 t/ha of pond area. Harvesting of Makhana involves a lot of drufgery and is done in the month of August-October by diverse of "Mallah" community in the morning arond 6.00 - 11.00 a.m. A diver goes deep into the bottom surface of pond, lies down, hold his breath and drag the mud towards the bamboo pole locally known as "Kaara" with both palms. A heap of mud is formed near the base of bamboo pole which is later sieved with locally made bamboo screen called "Ganjaa".
