              Before British period, a person established a village and that person put his caste from the village names as Bahuguna from Bugani place, Dabral from Dabar place,  Bartwal from Baret etc.  Till date the caste names of Garhwalis did not change and they had family starting from original village.
     The villagers always established a couple of Harijan families as they were backbone of craft works. Castes as Bhandari (Store keeper), Negi (service), Rawat and Bisht are based on position or awards offered by the kings. Rajput people and many Brahmins used to establish a Brahmin (Purohit) in the village by offering him land.
Mundit- families used to divide but Mundit did not. Mundit means the family group that mourn commonly.
There used to be conflicts and fight if aperson used to sell land out of village. British government made rules to bring such case to the court. British also made rule that person could sell land to outsider only when there was no taker in the village. (Becket's agreement from Stowell, Manuals page 25).
     The rights on land was till harvesting and as soon as harvesting was over, villagers had right on right on such fields for grazing the animals. There was common right of all villager on forests, barren land for fodders and wood and food items.
    In Khas society, there was socialism and there were equal rights from women (Joshi, Khas family Laws). She had right to keep new husband after death of her husband. Division of land was divided as per numbers of wives. British stopped the rule and brought new rules of divding land and assets as per number of sons.
Government offered some land to padahn (Village chief) as Jithunda for his works. However, when other families used to divide eldest brother used to offer an additional small portion of land as token Jithunda.   
  Cooperation was need of the time in everyday work. People were always help each other without any wage in birth, sanskar, marriage, death and mourning and festivals. People used to help each other in agriculture acts too. People used to offer many articles free to the family where any specific acts is being there as marriage or Terhvain , Barsi etc.

        There was significant role of Christian Missionaries in promoting education in British Garhwal. In 1864, Christian activist Parker bought house for missionary school in Chopra near Pauri. In 1865 summer, Father Mansell started mission school there. Tularam was teacher there and there were three students initially. In April 1866, Father Thuavarn took the charge of mission and school. By 1867, there were 30 students.  However, mission was unable for converting any Garhwali as Christian. In 1868, Maonsell took responsibility of school and became District superintendent.   
                      Boarding School Dhekwali
  Khayali ram and his four brothers (Oad) of Dhekwali village of Bali Kandarsyun accepted Christianity. Later on, his relatives also accepted Christianity. Father Mansell oped a boarding school there where Christian children were offered free education with food and other luring facilities. By that act, a few  Shilpkar also accepted Christianity. Missionary had to close down boarding school in 1897 as by enlarge, Garhwalis did not how much interest in Christianity. A fact remains toady a fact that in Garhwal, untouchability and poorness was not bad as in plains or in other east Himalayan region. Shilpkar used to get food and work sufficiently in village.

      Chopra Christian Mission School became the craze and there was increase in student numbers every year. Management built a big school building taking aids from government in 1872.    Father L.t McMahon was district superintendent and manger for Chopra Mission School from 1881-89. By 1883, the management started English medium too up to middle standard.  McMahon was very much interested in promoting education. Father McMahon used to teach in the school too. Father McMahon established two Mission School branch each in Shrinagar and Dadamandi.  Atkinson reported that father McMahon opened Hindi medium schools in a few villages. Perhaps, Father McMahon opened an orphan house in Chopra. By 1884, there ws high increase in student numbers and by 1890, management had to open two boarding houses separate each for Hindu and Christians. Now, the school name was Messmor Mission school.
    The management appointed D.A. Chaufin the head master of Mission school in 1890. Chaufin was HM up to 1897. From that day, Chaufin family had relation with the school. Father J.H. Massmor was also district superintendent and manager for Chopra school from 1901-1911. By recommendation of Messmor , in 1902,author ties up graded middle school to high school.  In 1898,Management appointed C.S. Chaufin as head master for the school and he was head master till 1902. Authorities promoted Chaufin as Sub Deputy Inspector of Schools in 1902 and again promoted as Deputy Inspector of Schools in 1906.
     father Messmor expired in 1913, There was  a condolence meeting on 14th November 1913 presided by Deputy Commissioner Clay. Father Hyde, Taradatt Gairola and Bmbikadtt Bahuguna participated in the meeting. they formed a committee for building a memorial house in memory of Father Messmor. Clay was president and Gairola was secretary of the committee.
         G.A Chaufin the son of D.A Chaufin was head master of school from 1916-49  Due to shortage of building, from 1917-19 the school was de graded to middle school.  The new building construction started in 1918 under the supervision of Father H.H.Weeks.  As soon as building was completed in 1920, authorities sanctioned it as high School again.  Dr Weeks did hard work for the school. Father Weeks was engineer, carpenter and builder too and he worked every work.  Father Weeks was a creative too. Father Weeks constructed a special house cart that he used to bring furniture wood from Advani (12 mile away from Chopra) to Chopra on house cart. Weeks never spend a moment without work.
Week also helped Satpuli people t the time of great flood of 1923.
Messmor School played a great role in promoting education in British Garhwal.

                Government and Christian Missionary did appreciable works in promoting girls education in Garhwal.
           Around 1896, Missionary opened a gril or coeducation school in Gadoli near Chopra. Mission appointed an American Mis Kayal as manager for the school. Miss Insigne Gill was the manager for school in 1899. Mostly, Christian gilrs started entering into school. Mission built a hostel for girl. Due to hard work and recommendation of Miss Merry Gill, in 1903, government agreed for up grading school up to middle. People started calling the school as merry Gill school. In 1905, girls passed middle school from this school. Mission and government sent many girls for teacher training. The girl of Brahmin and Rajput remained on back seat for girls education.
