Godda Futani Hatia: Futani Hatia of Chilkara village of Godda was earlier known as Ambedkar Hatia. Now this Futani Hatiya is famous for cheap vegetables and unique atmosphere. Let us tell you that it was started 30 years ago by Deep Narayan Das.
Chilkara village is under Pathargama block of Godda district. The weekly market organized here in the village is today famous in the entire district by the name of ‘Futani Hatiya’. This market has not only become a center of buying and selling. Rather, it also has a special identity among the people because of its name and history.
According to local people, initially this market was called Chilkara Hatiya. With time, it was decided in the village Panchayat that the name of the market should be changed to Ambedkar Hatiya. After this, the statue of Bharat Ratna Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar was also installed in the center of Hatiya. For about five years this haat was known as Ambedkar Hatia and the surrounding villagers knew it by this name.
But due to this area being a tribal dominated area, gradually the name of this market was changed to Futani Hatiya. Local resident Deep Narayan Das told that this hutia was started about 30 years ago due to his efforts. According to him, during the haat, people used to consume Mahua liquor and toddy and start singing and playing loudly among themselves. Seeing the fun and commotion that occurs while intoxicated, people jokingly named it Futani Hatiya, which later became its identity.

Deep Narayan Das also tells that people from the labor class used to come to this hutia to do hard work and many times used to spend money on liquor freely like the rich. Due to this social behavior and unique atmosphere, this hut became famous with a different name and identity, which persists even today.
At the same time, Narendra Kumar of the village says that the biggest specialty of Futani Hatiya is the cheap vegetables available here. Farmers and working class people in the surrounding areas grow vegetables themselves and sell them directly in this market. For this reason big traders do not come here and vegetables are available at very cheap prices.
