    • Short Story of this garden

    There are two stories swirling around, as to how the name Jellalpore was coined.

    [i] Once upon a time the whole of this land was submerged with water. And thatch used to go down the river to reach the near by and far off village. As a result of which the Name Jellalpore was given.

    [ii] Back in 1857, during the Sepay Mutiny, the Badshah of Delhi Badshah Bahadur Shah and Lakshmi Bai and others, who had participated in the revolt, were defeated and a long commander known as Jalalshah had taken shelter on the banks of this submerged land. As a result of which the common people had given the name Jellalpore in honour of the late Jalalshah.

    The Tea at this virgin sylvan land was planted in April, 1863 by Macneill & Barry Co. Ltd., since then there has been a continuing Planting practice. The Garden had celebrated it's centenary in 1963.

    The property has taken over in 1969 by Jay Shree Tea & Industries Limited, [A blue chip Company of the B.K.Birla Group] from Macneill & Darry Co.

    During the time of the take over the total area under the was 318.32 Hectare. As against present of 370.44  Hectare. Similarly the total crop was 3,29,077 kgs. As against 8,69,000 kgs. At present

    The Garden is situated on the Foot-Hills of the North Cachar Hills, connected on the northern side with the state of Maghalaya, and on the south-west with the International Border of Bangladesh.

    The River Baleswar flows through the Estate bifurcating it into two halves. Although the garden looks picturesque it has some hazards as well.
