The village consists of 79 farm households with a population 0f 5652002 figures.the village owns two pieces of land at Hussaini and Zarabad on the lift-side of the Hunza river.until the 1980s the village maintained traditional agricultural modes, combining farming and livestock raising. Farming was done on the crop rotation method and livestock grazed on the summer pasture land on the Batura glacier. The village faces a lack of water for irrigation. Since a large quantity of water is necessary for a crop, especially for potato farming during the growing season, the village must depend on melted water from under the moraine of the Gulkin glacier unsteady. However, as from time to time the irrigation canals fail with the removal of the glacier in the summer, water is a lack every time. Although the village had neither the monetary resources nor the technology to repair the irrigation facilities for resolution of a lack, recently this condition changed. Since the village got a fondation by the government of Pakistain for the irrigation facilities of iron's pipe to carry a water from the Gulkin glacier, a lack of water of the village resolved.
