Children in the village are either working at home or extending a helping hand to their parents at the workplace.

In Goth Veri Bheel, people have decided to vote for an individual who is ready to fulfill their agenda of education.

Ratan Bheel, a taxi driver, strives to resolve the issue of non availability of schools in the area and has arranged many gatherings with different social development sector activists to highlight the issue.

Juman Bheel, a villager shared that their elected representatives are not serious in resolving the issue.
