About District Health Society Munger :
The region included inside the region of Munger (broadly Monghyr) framed confined of the Madhya-desa as "Midland" of the primary Aryan pilgrims. It has been related to Mod-Giri a place said in the Mahabharata, which was the capital of a kingdom in Eastern India close Vanga and Tamralipta. In the Digvijaya Parva of Mahabharata, we discover the specify of Moda-Giri, Which appears to be like Moda-Giri. Digvijaya Parva recommends that it was a monarchical state amid early times. An entry in the Sabha-Parva portrays Bhima's success in Eastern India and says that subsequent to overcoming Karna, lord of Anga, he battled fight at Modagiri and murdered its boss. It was otherwise called Maudal after Maudgalya, a devotee of Buddha, who changed over a rich trader of this place into Buddhism. Buchanan says that it was the seclusion of Mudgala Muni and this custom of Mudgal Risi still continues. Munger is called "Modagiri" in the Monghyr copperplate of Devapala. The induction of the name Munger (Monghyr) has found the subject of much theory. Custom arcribes the establishment of the town to Chandragupta, after whom it was called Guptagars a name which has been discovered engraved on a stone at Kastaharni Ghat at the north-western corner of the present fortification. It is demanded that Mudgalrisi lived there. Custom attributes the creation of different suktar of the tenth Mavdala of the Rigveda to Rishi Mudgal and his group. Be that as it may, General Cunnigham had solid suspicicion when he associates this unique name with Mons as Mundas, who involved this part before the appearance of the Aryans. Again Mr. C.E.A. oldham, ICS, an agriculturist gatherer proposes the likelihood of Munigiha, ie , the house the Muni, with no determination which later adulterated to Mungir and later got to be Munger.
