The biggest famous fraternity/party of village is known as Malik, Khokhar. Expect these there are two more parties are here but these are bit small against above these two parties are Gondal and comboh.
Approximately 4 years or 4 an Half years ago few persons came from Sanica which is head related 8 or 10 km away from North side which is attached to Shahpur district Sargodha and make their residence in a small sandbank place where there today is Jayya now. This area was related to Bhikhi Sharif. Duration of the persons were estimated 7 mans and some women are also along with them
Sultan Mehmood alias Thanna has six sons. There are four sons has been mentioned above. In these sons four has its own generation but two was virgin and has not any son or daughter that is why no one knows about their name of anything else. When Mr. Thanna stationed at the Sandbank in this time there are much rush or robberies. When the persons of Chhimon came with determination to attack and rob/plunder towards bhikhi then the Baba Thanna and his sons compete them with bravery and compel them to run return to chhimon. When the people of bhikhi to know that some people came to protect them they gone to Baba thanna with whole village and said that please get our whole property but protect us and keep the theft away from us which are people of Chhimmon. In this occasion they gave the property to Thanna whish was round about 8 murrabba (square), and now Jayya is in those 8murrabba’s(square)
After passing the time the generation of Thanna was increased upto 4 thousand persons whose they have 13 fraternities.

Problems of the Village’s People
As the Village is small so basic facilities are absent No hospital, No Markets, No college for Boys or Girls therefore peoples especially females have to face many difficulties in order to fulfill their daily or occasional necessities. Main problems of the village are as under.
Wastewater Removal System
The most prominent problem of the village is the removal of wastewater of homes and rain.In the absence of sewerage system some people of the village has to face problems like accumulation of rain water in front of their houses, when the LAKE (chhapparr present in the center of the village) is filled with water it come out in the streets this not only paralyse life in their homes but also a source of many diseases like MALARIA,CHOLERA and SCABIES etc.
Jagirdari System
Unlike other nearby villages Jagirdari system is not at its peak but some roots are there in this village, one example occurred few years ago when all the JUTT bradary decided to punish Kami brodery because they were becoming disobedient unfortunately some of them come under this violence but now situation is changing with the passage of time.
Problems of the Poor People
People of the village are not very rich nor very poor. Except few houses all other can earn their livelihood easily those who are poor they are helped by the other village people in the form of Fitrana or other things in the name of God so fortunately everyone is able to eat honorably.
Educational Problems Faced by Girls
This is another main problem faced by students especially by Girls as there is no institute after Matric so the girls have to face great hurdle in their career so most of them stop their education because villagers does not allow their girls to go away from their homes, So most of the girls are under matric if other want to carry on their education they do so either Privately through Punjab University or through Allama Iqbal Open University Islamabad.
Promises made by the Political Leaders of the area
This is a very interesting topic because when there is period of election especially of National and Provincial Assembly it looks that all the candidates are our own and they are in election only for our village because they solve all the problems of the village with their tongue in few minutes but as soon as they becomes leaders they even refuse to recognize their major supporters until the next election comes.
Crime rate in Village
As it is already mentioned that most of the reports in Thana Kutiala Sheikhan belong to this village in which most are to pull legs or arms of the opposing party but the steeling of cattles is an important problem faced by villagers especially JUTT families such Thieves have belong to nearby villages whom names are not good to mention, in this village few black sheeps in young generation are also going on wrong path.
Suggestions
The problem of wastewater removal can be resolved by passing sewerage pipes towards villager’s own land to Barsaati Naala.
The problem of medical facilities can be resolved by arranging one MBBS doctor to whom in addition to his own fees villagers should pay some salary by collecting fund from the village.
Difference of JUTTS and other castes can be reduced by educating people and creating awareness of our religion.
Education problems of girls can be resolved by constructing an institute upto master level at least in arts subjects in this or any of the neighboring villages.
About promises of leaders (bus Allah un ko hadaet de).
Crime rate or steeling can be minimized by introducing baradari system by keeping a guard to look after village during night.
Problem of poor people can be met by creating fund for them by villagers.
Dhoke Nawan Loke is a town in the Punjab. It lies 10 Km east of Mandi Bahauddin, 0.5 Km north of Dhok Kasib and has 80% literacy rate. Historicaly it is famous because of ancient ruins of old civilization on Tiba ( No archialogical servay have been done but it is thousands of years old village ruins). Some people from this village participated in The Battle of Chillianwala in 1849.
Dhoke Nawan Lock is a village of 5000 people, mostly working in agriculture and services sector but after 1995 most of the young people prefered to travel abroad as economic migrants and now about 15% of young under 35 years of age are in Europe and North America. So the whole make up of the economic face has changed. Foreign capital now accounts for the 9/10 of the total income of the village which has resulted in higher prices for real estate and agriculture property. the price of one acre of pure agricultural land has jumped to 800000 RS ( about 16000 $/ acre). The real estate is about 45000 $ per acre. The real chellange for the village is to invest in education and youth facilities so that it can chennal the capital in more intelligent way. Like the village needs a liabrary for its young minds.
