Income Source
Most villagers are farmers. But this is not the major source of household incomes. Although, the whole south side of village is Paddy field, it doesn't provide enough year long food. Most but not all depend on imported rice. Most youths of this village are working aboard largely in Gulf countries of Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Malaysia. Lately, some young folks have recently made their destination to very advanced countries of the world including Japan, Korea, European nations, and a few to United States of America.
