The village is declared a Model Village. The old timers relate this with its so called real name- Dev Uvach which means, from the mouth of Gods. The village has been in the news due to its musclemen. It looks like a prosperous village as the presence of the neo-riches is dominant. Further, the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) and other agencies have been involved in taking up a number of projects around this village.<ref>url=http://www.millenniumpost.in/NewsContent.aspx?NID=7263</ref>
