Development

The village has been developing in availability of communication and transportation. INGO's and NGO's have worked to develop the area and improve sanitation, and Internet service and electricity are available. There is also a developing school system.

The culture is somewhat distinct from surrounding villages. Young people have started computer teaching and are beginning to modernize the village. An influence of western culture is also apparent.
