They have very low self-esteem and display an attitude of despair. No idea had the highest weightage in people s idea of development. But this does not say much as the parameter for literacy taken was the official one which says, a person who can read and write one's name in one's mother tongue is taken as a literate person. The real picture emerges when we look at the educational qualification break up of the different hamlets. The drop out rate is very high with 33 students dropping out before their Secondary Examination and one before the Degree Examination.
Higher education is beyond the reach of most people due to their poor economic status.
One has to stay away from the village or trek 3-4 hours daily for higher education as facilities are available only in the towels. The government primary school and health services do not reach all the villages or do not function properly. There is a general lack of social awareness and social organisation to address such issues. The lack of communication has produced a sense of isolation. This is further compounded by the geographical isolation for these villages under the jurisdiction of the Block Development Office, Bijanbari which are not contiguous to the other villages under the same block.
