What we notice the table above is that since the
majority of the people living in this village development committee are
Newars, the placenames are also related to Newar ethnic group. The place
names have also beginning or ending word ‘nani' meaning courtyard
ground where different cultural and religious activities are performed
and since there are many ponds in the village, The places are also named
after ‘Pukhusi' meaning ‘ponds' in Nepali language. But the same is not
with the names at ward number eight and nine were ethnic groups other
than Newars are living.
The total area of this village development committee
is 13598-14-3-1(Thirteen Thousand Five Hundred and Ninety Eight ropani
Fourteen ana Three paisa and One dam). The present utility of land is
shown in the table below:
| S. No. | Description | Area |
| 1 | Arable land | 13412-10-2-1 |
| 2 | Cultivated land | 12727-5-2-2 |
| 3 | Uncultivated land | 604-13-3 |
| 4 | Irrigated land | 10150-6-1 |
| 5 | Residential area | 105-12-2 |
| 6 | Forest area | 80-7-3 |
Thus the table shows that out of
the total arable land, most part of the land is cultivated and land
covers only six hundred four ropanies thirteen anas and three paisa.
Most of the lands in this village development committee are terraced
lands.
