Topographically, Makwal village is a river island which lies in a low-lying area. The total area as per village documents is approximately 20000 Kanal. Out of the total village area, 17,649 Kanals is the cultivable area, and approximately 2380 Kanals is the  uncultivated one. 

Its unique geographic location gives it broadly two types of soil profiles: The Alluvial soil and the Sandy Soil. The former is good for the cultivation of rice and wheat, whereas, the latter fits appropriate for vegetables and fruits.

The region is well-known for its production of muskmelons and watermelons.

At the village entrance, the approach road starts at a modest 3 meters wide, only to narrow down and succumb to a landscape of potholes further along. The arterial road network, comprising the village streets, is in shambles, and public transport is virtually non-existent. 

For school and college students, commuting is a daily ordeal, leaving parents and the community deeply worried about their safety and accessibility.

The drains of the village are generally clogged with excess sedimentation of silt and waste plastic bags. The streets overflow with grey water which makes it difficult to walk through the village. 

Navigating the village feels like a precarious balancing act—tiptoe through sewage pools, narrowly dodging the squishy dung cakes. It's a mindfulness exercise, but with a side of terror, as you wonder if you'll survive the next step.

The open electric power cables strangle the skyscape of the village and call for a potential mishap.

Additionally, the theft of electricity is causing a considerable loss of revenue to the state. With the help of the concerned governmental agencies, the exact data needs to be gathered in terms of revenue loss, and adequate measures should be taken to further keep a check on such activities.

Women make up nearly 47% of the village population, with a literacy rate hovering around 62%. Yet, despite their skills in weaving, stitching, and crafting, they’re often relegated to the never-ending cycle of household chores. 

Most families rely on the meager income of their male counterparts, making self-employment a lifeline for women’s subsistence. If given the right opportunities, these women could weave their way out of poverty and stitch together a more prosperous future.
