The village is bounded by a river called the Shilavati River in a half-moon shape. The river is mainly depends on rain. Other than rainy season its look like a canal. Most of time the villagers are used to cross the river by walk, with their cycle and motor cycles. Towards Simlapal there is a canal (Jor as we say ) and a low level bridge over it. There is also bridge over the Shilavati to connect Bankura via Simlapal with Khatra and Jhargram road. 

      The maximum villagers are farmer and as the Shilavati and the said canal is bounded the village its a very easy to access water all round the year. Main product is Rice, Wheat and vegetables. Other than that some villagers used to farm Sunflower, Green grasses etc. Hence the village is self sufficient in food stuffs. Other than farming a few number of small or medium businesses  are also running in village and nearest town ( Simlapal).  A large number of state and central government employees also here.

     Institutions open only on Primary  level. A primary school with 4-5 teachers covers the village students to got there education. After completion of primary students are get admission in Simlapal, where two high school is there. One is for boys ( Up to 10+2) and the other is for girls (Up to 10) or at Belgeria, the next village towards Khatra, where a school for students up to class-VIII is available. 

     The villagers worshiped God and Goddess variously. The region of this village is Hindu. The maximum strength is Utkals in the village. Other than Utkals there are SCs,STs and OBCs also there. Durga Puja,  Laxmi Puja, Kali Puja, Saraswati Puja, Dipavali, Makar Sankranti etc are the main occasion when people who living out of village for their different types of job or requirements, meets each other.   

   

  The cultural and social life of the villagers is simple and comfortable. They are contented with what they have. They are energetic and hard working. They went to the field early in the morning and worked their till evening. They love one another and respect the superiors.

We all are happy in our village. And after miles and miles the people know this village and it's villagers for their great work and UNITY. 

May long live Jorisha and Jorisha Youths.
