For higher studies after high school, the students need to go to Khurja where there are 3 main Inter Colleges along with a degree colleague under Chaudhary Charan Singh University (aka Meerut University). Recently village students have also got other options of private or public schools in Khurja and nearby places. It is very unfortunate and sad that there are not many students who are academically doing good in the village. This is because of the deteriorating condition of state government schools.
The import thing is that the villagers put a lot of importance on the education of girls which is a very good sign for the whole society. It has been noticed in the recent past that sometimes girls' academic performance is better than boys and a number of girls are pursuing higher education. A fact worth mentioning is that few families have moved to nearby town just for their daughter's higher education as there is no degree college in the vicinity.
There is One B.A.M.S College has opened in this village and people come from outside to complete their study .Which is very good news about the village and its people.It is about to open a degree college in this village very soon.
There is a Language School is about to open where students of this village and around could take the advantage of this.

Sources of Income
The main source of income for majority of people if agriculture. The main crops are sugar-cane, wheat and paddy anlog with cash crops. The water from canal is a main source of irrigation. The well known Upper Ganga Canal passes through the village periphery. There are couple of tube wells as well. In case of shortage of canal's water or electricity, sometimes the farmers are compelled to use ground water pumped using diesel engines which becomes a very costly affair.
The village low income population is also dependent on the industries around the village like potteries, dairy and iron rods fabrication factory. The figure of government employees in the village is not very encouraging. There are few village people who have got employment in private sector.
In the search of employment, the village people migrate to nearby towns and New Delhi.
