In spite of insufficient intervention from Non Government Organization ( NGO) in this VDC, support on drinking water projects from Helvatas and Red Cross, School Building project from JICA, some agricultural farming trainings from SIMI Nepal is praiseworthy.

From local initiative, mothers group and club have been formed and executed which has reached in number of sixteen.

Locally, small market centres has been developed to provide access of different services and to make linkage with hinterland villages.

Another market center, Setibeni, though located at the west corner of the VDC, has carried also religious significance due to celebration of Mela on the special occasion of Ekadash, and Sankranti.

The vital role of intermediaries have been realized to generate more economic potentiality by linking the hinterland villages (which can produce and provide local products) with local and urban market center( which can give market to the product produced by villagers).
