But two ANMs work in the field. If we talk about basic facilities in the Panchayat area, there is a severe lack of it. Even today there are no paved roads in many villages. Due to lack of road in Birajpur village of Panchayat, people travel only with the help of footpath. In many villages including Bhikhodih, Danraidih, people remain troubled during rainy season due to unpaved roads. There are no means of irrigation for the farmers in the area. Water towers have been built in the villages under the Jal Nal Yojana. But most of them are lying idle in villages. For the education of boys and girls, there are many middle schools and primary schools including High School Tilakpur. For the convenience of the students, there are arrangements for ICT lab and vocational classes in Tilakpur High School, in which 1300 students are receiving education.
