Interpretation / Significance

• Agricultural Backbone: Given the large portion of land under cultivation and irrigation, agriculture likely plays a major role in the village’s economy.

• Social Composition: A majority SC population suggests a historically marginalized community; development policies would need to address caste-based inequalities.

• Education: With nearly 70% literacy, the village is doing comparatively well, though there is a noticeable gender gap.

• Demographic Concerns: The low child sex ratio might indicate gender bias / imbalance that should be monitored.

• Local Governance: The existence of a Panchayat suggests local self-governance, which is key for rural development.
