It is a small but beautiful village in Malakwal subdivision of District Mandibahauddin, containing an area of about 600 Acres.

Major Crops of the Village                                   

The whole surrounding area of the village is excellent for cultivation of rice, wheat, potato, Tobacco and sugar cane etc.

Schools and Religious Institutions

There are two Government Primary Schools (one for each gender), One Private High school and three mosques in which basic religious education is provided to the people.

But it is important to highlight that there is no one English teacher in both government schools and standard of education is very poor. It urged me to write down on the local forum. I do request on the behalf of my villagers from education authorities to do their best effort for the poor people of my village otherwise it will take long time to educate them.
