Development Works
[edit]The village is equipped with pipelines for water supply. Public water taps has been also installed at a few places. Village has been water rich but due to the increasing population and lack of awareness for water conservation, the water level goes down, causing summers to become hard for people nowadays. Most hand pumps and wells dry during summer. However, a supply of water is available periodically morning to evening but it is also subject to the availability of electricity. One of the major issues faced by farmers in past years was irrigation of crops because most of the existing old pumps were not working at all due to low water level but this has been somewhat resolved by new submersible pumps installed in 2019 (private, with the help of government subsidies), which allow farmers to irrigate their crops at lower rates.
