The town is famous for iron ore mines, which were the first iron ore mines developed in India in 1910, by Maharaja Sriram Chandra Bhanj Deo ruler of Princely State of Mayurbhanj. He appointed Pramatha Nath Bose, a leading geologist in 1908 to survey the ore deposits. Later the mines were leased to Tata Steel, in which the Dewan of the State, Mohini Mohan Dhar, played the leading role.[3][4] In 2016, a CBSE school opened was by the Government of Odisha viz., Odisha Adarsha Vidyalaya to provide quality education to rural talents.
