Occupation

Main occupation of people is agriculture here. People are dependent on agriculture, agriculture in this area is not dependent on rain because rain is very less in this region which is near 60cm annual. During kharif season mainly bajra is grown. Tube well is the main source of irrigation here which constitutes about 95% of total irrigated area. This is the reason why ground water level is gone very deep because of tubewells. Demand of canal extension of Agra Canal and gurgaon canal to this area from Bharatpur district is very crucial for this area. Main crops grown in this area are Wheat, Mustard, Bajra, Gram. And many fruits and vegetables are grown in this area. Because of medium yield the people are somewhat economically backward because they mostly depend on agriculture but they are not so much backward. That's why they don't mind so much because they earns enough to live happy. Besides agriculture nowadays, many people serves in govt. jobs from this area. And many serves in defence services also mainly in delhi police and rajasthan police and some in army, bsf and airforce.
