History
Pahukata was a dense forest with lots of wild animals. During olden times, People of Kalabari catch Deer(Pahu means Deer in Assamese)and bring to this village for cutting(Kata means cutting in Assamese). Hence, Pahukata got its name.
Uttar-Pahukata
Uttar-Pahukata is the Northern Part of the Village. Towards its east is the Gagol-gaon, to its west is the Mikirborachuck, towards the north is the Barbheti and to its south lies the Mornoi river, which separate the Dakshin-Pahukata from Uttar-Pahukata. The Eastern-part of the village is called the Ujjai-Chuck(means up-hill-region), which is the dwelling place for Bhuyan and Rajkhowa family, whereas the western part is called the Bhatiyai-Chuck (Means down-hill-region) is mostly dominated by the Hazarika family. Due to this reason some people prefer saying Hazarika-chuck to Bhatiyai-Chuck. For any religious or social gathering all the people of the village meet at the only Namghar called the Pahukata Namghar,which is situated in the right middle of the village for its easy access. The village also has a Lower Primary school near to the Hazarika-chuck called the Pahukata Parthamik Vidyalaya. All the small children have their primary education from this school.
