Chandeni is a village in the Charkhi Dadri district of the Indian state of Haryana.[1][2]
Establishment[edit]
According to Jagga's record book at Gadhganga the village Chandeni was established in 1860 on the name Chandni who was the wife of Dada Kusahala who was shifted here from Jhojhu Kalan in 1860 Dada Kusahala was in 12th generation of Dada Sangu on whose name all Sangwan surname is established.. Hence the village Chandeni's main Jat community is of Sangwan surname.
Later the sister of Dada Kusahala whose name was Chandkore was came from her in-laws village Bamla due to some family dispute in the decade of 1910 . Because her in-laws were Grewal so later Grewals are also established here in the protection of Sangwans.

Demography[edit]

Most of the people here are from the Jat community. Due to large number of Sangwan people residing in nearby area, the major portion of the population has become Sangwans. About 90% of people here are Sangwan and Ahlawat[citation needed] and 10% homes belong to Grewal. Most of the people do not live in the mainland of village, but on the outskirts and the cultivated land of the village. This brings a decline in the population of Chandeni.

Agriculture[edit]
There is an acute ground level water shortage due to the weather conditions. An irrigation canal exists but has not held water since 1996. The main method of irrigation is underground, non-submersible water pumps. Wells are dug to a depth of around 200 feet (61 m) and then bored deeper in order to reach the water level. The potors are kept at the bottom of such dry wells reaching the water level through pipes. The major crops of this area are millet, wheat, sorghum and chickpea.
