•  
• Proximity: The village is very close to the town of R.S. Pura — about 2 km from its sub-district headquarters. 
• Village Maps
•  
• Border context: R.S. Pura is a border region (near the India–Pakistan international border) and villages here, including Chak Khana, can be affected by cross-border tensions. 
• The Indian Express
• +1
•  
• Accessibility: There is no very nearby railway station for Chak Khana, and the village is primarily connected by road via R.S. Pura.

• Education
•  
• Literacy levels: According to the 2011 Census, Chak Khana has a very high literacy rate — ~89.05% overall. 
• Census 2011 India

• Male literacy: ~94.01% 
• Census 2011 India
•  
• Female literacy: ~83.88%

•  
• Schools: There’s no detailed public record (in census-site data) about which specific schools (primary / secondary) are physically located in Chak Khana. The census-data site notes that they do not have information about schools / hospitals there. 
• Census 2011 India
•  
• Nearby educational institutions: In the larger R.S. Pura area / town: Ranbir Singh Pora (R.S. Pura) as a town has educational institutions such as a Government Degree College, higher secondary schools, etc. 
• Wikipedia
•  
• Language of education: In R.S. Pura region, local languages include Dogri, Punjabi, Hindi, Urdu. 
• Wikipedia
•  
• Implication: Given high literacy, education seems to be a priority. Children from the village likely attend nearby schools / institutions either within the village (if there are primary schools) or in nearby towns.
•  
• Culture
•  
• Because there isn’t a dedicated ethnographic or extremely granular cultural study of Chak Khana in publicly available sources, we need to draw from the broader cultural characteristics of the R.S. Pura region and border villages, plus likely patterns:
•  
• Ethnic / Linguistic Composition:
•  
• In R.S. Pura (the tehsil in which Chak Khana lies), commonly spoken languages are Dogri, Punjabi, Hindi, and Urdu. 
• Wikipedia
•  
• This suggests Chak Khana’s people are likely to be part of this linguistic mix, with Dogri and Punjabi being very relevant.
•  
• Religious / Social Makeup:
•  
• While there is no specific census data for Chak Khana’s religious breakdown, R.S. Pura area has a majority of Hindus, along with Sikh and Muslim minorities (in the broader town / tehsil). 
• Wikipedia
•  
• This means the social life may reflect Dogra Hindu traditions, possibly Punjabi influences, and a mix of rural religious practices.
•  
• Border Culture Influence:
•  
• Being a border village, life in Chak Khana (and neighboring villages) may be shaped by security realities (shelling, bunkers) which influences community bonding, local resilience, and shared coping strategies. 
• The Indian Express
•  
• There may also be a sense of “living on the edge” (literally) which affects how people view their identity, land, and future.
•  
• Agriculture and Traditional Life:
•  
• Agriculture is a big part of life in R.S. Pura region: in the Tehsil, rice (especially basmati), wheat, vegetables, and dairy farming are important. 
•  
•  
• This implies that in Chak Khana, many households are likely engaged in farming / cultivation or associated rural livelihoods.
•  
• Festivals and Community:
•  
• While specific village-level festival data isn’t available for Chak Khana, the cultural life would likely align with Dogra / Punjabi rural traditions — celebrating major Hindu festivals (e.g., Diwali, Holi), possibly local fairs or agricultural festivals, and community gatherings.
•  
• Also, border villages often have strong community cohesion, because dealing with shared risks (security, floods) fosters collective resilience.
•  
• Lifestyle
•  
• Putting together geographic, demographic, and cultural insights, here’s a sketch of what lifestyle in Chak Khana might look like (or likely is):
•  
• Rural / Agrarian
•  
• Most households are likely involved in agriculture or small-scale farming. Given the high literacy rate and data on ‘workers’ in the 2011 census, a portion of the workforce is cultivators (owners). 
• Census 2011 India
•  
• Farming is likely subsistence + commercial (some may grow crops for local markets, possibly rice, wheat, or vegetables).
•  
• Resilient Living
•  
• Because of its border location, people’s daily life is impacted by security factors (shelling risk) — this likely builds a strong sense of community vigilance and mutual support. 
•  
•  
• Infrastructure like bunkers or shelters may be part of life or in demand, adding to a unique dimension of living compared to non-border villages.
•  
• Education-Oriented
•  
• With a high literacy rate, education seems valued. Children probably travel to nearby schools, and there may be a good number of educated adults.
•  
• This could translate into aspirations: younger generations may want to study further, move to towns / cities, or diversify beyond agriculture.
•  
• Modest Infrastructure
•  
• Given that there is limited detailed data about hospitals / high-level facilities in the village, it's likely that people depend on R.S. Pura town or nearby larger places for advanced services (healthcare, higher education, markets).
•  
• Basic amenities (electricity, water) might be available, but as in many rural border areas, there may be gaps or reliability issues (though specific data for Chak Khana is not clearly documented).
•  
• Cultural Cohesion
•  
• Lifestyle is likely community-centered: close-knit families, shared festivals, strong local governance (panchayat), and a mix of tradition and modernity (e.g., traditional farming + literacy + some outward linkages).
•  
• Because of risk factors, social coherence and trust among villagers may be strong.
