A Glimpse of My Village - Onagam Bandipora

Onagam: The name has been derived from the word(VUN), it means Jungle & GAM, a village. In short, sometime back, this village was covered trees, and people those days named it as onagam(The Jungle Village). Onagam is one of the biggest villages in Newly formed District Bandipora(Newly Formed District - 2009), earlier it was part of Baramulla district.

Onagam is located in center of Bandipora district, 2 kilometers away from the district head quarters. The village is surrounded by Panjigam from East, Putushai from west, Duban from North Qazipora from South, Turqpora from North West, and Kalusa from South East.

Current head(Mukdam) of this village is Mr Abdul Aziz sofi, 80 year old man has been serving this village from about 3 decades.

Onagam is exactly divided by a canal(nehr Zainagir) into two halves- longitudinally, Zain-ul-Abdin constructed the Zainager Canal and started building places, the chaks, who appear to have remained untamed so far. The purpose of constructing Nehr-e-Zainager (Zainager Canal) was to irrigate Zainager, it originates from Sonarwani, and flows through Watrina, Panjigam, Onagam, Potushai... and so on... and finally reaches to Zainager(village). It moves in loops till it enters Sopore irrigating about 13300 acres of land. It is 47 Kms long, takes its water from the river Madhumati. This canal adds its beauty to this village.
