Infrastructure
- Recently almost all wards of the village are covered by electricity. The quality of electricity is not so good.
- Probably there are not more than 10 telephone lines in the whole village but cell phone is most popular communication and covered most of the village area.
- There is drinking water system in ward number 7 (Jambadi & Dudhali) and 8 (Guffadi Chowk) in pilot phase. Peoples use water from the tube well and dug well. There is no problem on water quality but arsenic is somewhat of a problem.
- There is one irrigation system but not functioning properly due to budget and irrigation effected people has not got proper solution of landslide on tunnel.
- Farmers have to depend on the rain water. Gauria and Ram Chandre are the major streams flowing throughout the village and both are groundwater fed rivers that have more flow during the rainy seasons. Stream path diversion and encroachment has created flooding many times in the past.
- Bridge construction has just been completed after long time since the construction was commenced. It used to create problems to the peoples in rainy season but now they are all relieved and happy with the bridge on both the rivers.
- Only some parts of the village are connected with the bus service. The college and higher secondary schools are now established in Gwaldubba.
