According to report, 30 students of this village are going to study at the nearby Singipur village school. But for years, the villagers were deprived of electricity service. In the evening, when every house used to burn candles, but there was no kerosene, candlelight became their hope. Especially the students were facing more problems. Even as the village became dark as soon as evening fell, there was a fear of wild animals. Therefore, the villagers had repeatedly drawn the attention of the administration to electrify the village. But no step was taken. Earlier, when the BJD government was in power, they had made many complaints. But nothing was resolved. Finally, Chief Minister Sri Mohan Charan Majhi has alleviated the suffering of the villagers.
