Jiwa Ram Banchari (Sorot) was the Diwan of Bharatpur princely state. He was resident of Banchari village under Hodal Tehsil of Palwal district in Haryana.
Administration of Bharatpur state
Dr Girish Chandra Dwivedi[1] writes.... Several changes were effected in the land administration obtaining under Akbar. The pargana of Sahar was split into four parts-Sahar, Shergarh, Kosi and Shahpur. Mangotala was divided into Sonkh and Sonsa. Farah and possibly Mursan, Sahpau and Mant were made parganas about this time. Similar changes were made in several other districts of the kingdom. 20
Unfortunately, the full details of Suraj Mal's administrative set-up have not come down to us. Below the King, wno was the fountain-head, was probably the most powerful grandee, Balram Jat, (his brother-in-law) who held the post of Chief Minister.21 Jiwa Ram held the office of Diwan.22 As already told, Somnath was the Danadhyaksh (the head of the charity department). The management of the army seems to have been entrusted to several officers, each heading a sub-department. We know the names of two officers, Balram and Mohan Ram, who headed the cavalry and the artillery respectively. Balram was also the faujdar of the capital. 23 This leads us to infer that there were other faujdars as well. This apart, the posts of Mantri, Bakhshi, Katwal and Qiladar referred to in Sujan Charitra must have continued during the reign of Suraj Mal as well.24

इतिहास
बदनसिंह के पास जन, धन और साधन-सभी कुछ था । अपने भवन-निर्माण-कार्यक्रम के लिए उसने जीवनराम बनचारी को अपना निर्माण-मन्त्री नियुक्त किया । बनचारी बहुत योग्य और सुरूचि सम्पन्न व्यक्ति था । अपने लिए उसने एक बड़ा लाल पत्थर का मकान बनवाया था, जो आजकल स्थानीय चिकित्सा अधिकारियों के क़ब्ज़े में है । [2]
