Manickpur
Manickpur is a small village in the Vasai (Bassein) township of the Palghar district in the Maharashtra, India. History Not much of the history of Manickpur is documented. It has only been passed down through oral tradition. There are instances of this village in some old manuscripts. In some old Portuguese manuscripts, the area was known as Puri, although no explanation has been found on why it was called so. One assumption is that earlier there might have been a temple on the lines of the Jagannath Temple in Puri in Orissa, and it was named after it. In Portuguese and English manuscripts it was also referred to as Porim. The name gradually changed to Manickpuri, but there is no written documentation on it. It is also said that many South Indians settled here due to the proximity of Bombay (as it was earlier known) which was rich in terms of industries, mills, and factories.

Christian Schools In Maharashtra
Christians () are people who follow or adhere to Christianity, a monotheistic Abrahamic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. The words ''Christ'' and ''Christian'' derive from the Koine Greek title ''Christós'' (Χριστός), a translation of the Biblical Hebrew term '' mashiach'' (מָשִׁיחַ) (usually rendered as ''messiah'' in English). While there are diverse interpretations of Christianity which sometimes conflict, they are united in believing that Jesus has a unique significance. The term ''Christian'' used as an adjective is descriptive of anything associated with Christianity or Christian churches, or in a proverbial sense "all that is noble, and good, and Christ-like." It does not have a meaning of 'of Christ' or 'related or pertaining to Christ'. According to a 2011 Pew Research Center survey, there were 2.2 billion Christians around the world in 2010, up from about 600 million in 1910. Today, about 37% of all Christians live in the Ame ...
