History

A number of notable people were native to Bandanpur, such as Jayanti Prasad Tiwari (1925 - 1983), the founder of the Jan Sewa Ashram Purva Madhymik Vidyalay school in 1979. Jayanti Prasad Tiwari was a social activist from Uttar Pradesh and was born in the village of Bandanpur to a well-known Brahmin Tiwari family. In 1932, at a young age, he moved to Ahmedabad and worked with Rustom Cama, a notable figure from Ahmedabad. He was unable to study during his childhood, therefore, as an adult, he decided to open schools and universities, beginning in his home village. Fundraising has allowed the foundation of the Jan Sewa Ashram schools. His death on March 28, 1983, is commemorated every year at his schools.

Another example is Shri Jayanti Prasad Tiwari, who journeyed in 1932 from Bandanper to Ahmedabad. During his journey, he helped many people find employment in various mills and other companies. It is claimed that after Tiwari began working with the late Khan Bahadur Rustom Cama at Cama Group, he took Mahatma Gandhi's ashes to Ahmedabad, and that after thirteen days after Gandhi's death, his ashes were immersed in the rivers and seas of the country.

Another notable figure is the late Shri Anantu Tiwari, who lost his life in the Indus Pak war.
