Mahadalit has been carved as a separate group within dalits by the Nitish Kumar government.It is considered as the most backward among dalits.   Devi had taken initiative to construct a pond in the village by gifting her golden ornaments, which she had received from Mishra's wife in the 14th century in return for her services, Kumar recalled.
