Abstract
In the post-independence era, the majority of the ‘Zamindar families’ were sound financially. Although, in later times, few of them could retain their nobility, standard of living, family status, and family traditions, while the rest sadly could not hold it. This research work tries to explore the role of education in the sustainability of the royal families. For this, we have purposively surveyed two Zamindar families: Monoharpur and Angua which are near the ancient place, ‘Dandabhukti’. Data regarding educational status, livelihood, contribution to education & society, and reckonable achievements are collected, tabulated, and analysed accordingly.
