The major economic activity of the village is agriculture, mainly subsistence based, and carpet weaving. The landless people weave the famous bhadohi woolen carpets but not the people from higher caste of Brahmins. Many people have migrated to Kolkata and Mumbai and post order money is a very prominent source of income. There is one rabi crop of wheat and another kharif crop of rice mainly with help of irrigation by ground water pumped through a government-installed bore well and a couple of private ones. There is hardly any commercial cropping. Much of land is alkaline, posing a great difficulty to agricultural activity.

The main communities of village are scheduled castes like chamaar and paasi and backward classes of yadav, gaderiya. There are a few Brahmins, five households of mishears, and few of pathaks. There is a significant Muslim population also of weavers community julaaha. Although there is apparent peace in the village, politisation and panchayat politics have created an undercurrent of caste animosity. The most famous person of the village is Samar Nath Mishra who has been village head for more than two decades. www.mishrarajanikant.blogspot.com
