Their 40 huts are scattered in a group of two or more far away from each other. In their local dialect, they call these huts ‘Dhaura’. Their major source of livelihood is animal husbandry. They sell their produce of milk to the cooperatives. Agriculture produce is hardly sufficient to meet their both ends.
