The village is highly dependent on agricultural activities. People in the village raise livestock like buffalos, cows, and goats.

The input cost for plowing, sowing, maintenance, irrigation, and harvesting are very high. Most of the small farmers do not have their own water resources, so they have to obtain water from other farmers for their crop. To alleviate the economic burden of the land, small farmers often rent their land to big farmers. Employment
