The people residing in the village are mostly farmers and their main occupation is the cultivation of cash crops like areca nut, betel-leaf, pepper, bay-leaf, broom leaf, citrus fruits etc. Because of the topography of the place, the distance to the nearest road-head, presence of streams and rivers the people of the village are facing a lot of difficulties in their day-to-day livelihood activities. In order, to alleviate some of the hardships faced by these sincere and hard working people of this village, the office was able to sanction construction of footbridge over Umit River.

The footbridge was sanctioned for Rs. 9.00 Lakhs under SCA (BADP) for 2016-17.
