Most of the land available to families are used for agricultural purposes.

Some families do have non-agricultural land.

But, those family already have their heads working at IIT Kharagpur as staffs.

So, gradually the people are moving away from agriculture.

Out of the 10 families we surveyed, two of them had people working at IIT Kharagpur.

The income they received totaled to be more than the total income of the 10 families, received through agriculture.

People are moving towards education and are taking up jobs other than agriculture.

But, the village only has a primary school and children have to go to other villages to study.

The income distribution is also very uneven. We found that one family had no annual income and they ate what they grew.

The main source of water is tap.

But, the water flow is slow and is not regular.

Some families own motors also, for pumping water from ponds.

All of the families we surveyed had their children in schools.

Some of the families have well educated individuals working at IIT.

The elder people were less educated.

Surprisingly, we found that the male and female had almost the same level of education.

Yet, all the families we surveyed had non working females.

Almost all of the families have television or radio.Although, none of them take newspapers.Agriculture is largely through traditional methods. No tractors

used for cultivation purposes.Two of the families we surveyed even had computers.The people we surveyed are well versed with day to day

technologies.
