The discovery of a new variety of cotton called 'Sindewahi Cross' also started here.  This species also became very famous.  Until recently, even a rice variety called 'Sindewahi' was a special favorite of farmers.  Sindewahi may be the only village in the country named after a sugarcane kiln, cotton and rice varieties.  In 1922, Sir Frank Sly, the then Governor of Central Province, visited a research center in Ghodazari while hunting.  All this research was done under the supervision of British officials when Sindewahi had no electricity.  Electricity to Sindewahi, however, came much later on January 19, 1959.
