Morasiya is an impoverished village, with most villagers being employed in [[agriculture]] and a few being [[migrant worker]]s. The population is mostly [[Yadav]]s and [[Rajput]]s. The village has three neighbourhoods, '''Matthiya''' to the east and '''Sridhar ka Tola''' to the west and Ayar to the north. The houses in Matthiya are made of [[brick]]s and [[cement]], while those in Sridhar ka Tola are made of mud and clay. [[Electricity]] is available for 15-17 hours per day throughout the year. Drinking water is provided via [[hand pump]]s, which are installed in every house. Every house additionally has proper sanitation facilities, although a few villagers prefer [[open defecation]] instead. Morasiya has one [[primary school]].<ref name="Hooda et al">{{cite book |last1=Hooda |first1=Mohit |last2=Gupta |first2=Abhijeet |last3=Ramesh |first3=Meera |last4=U |first4=Rahul |last5=Nair |first5=Jayashree |last6=Mohan |first6=Renjith |editor1-last=Kumar |editor1-first=Amit |editor2-last=Paprzycki |editor2-first=Marcin |editor3-last=Gunjan |editor3-first=Vinit Kumar |title=ICDSMLA 2019: Proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Data Science, Machine Learning and Applications |date=2020 |publisher=Springer Nature |location=Singapore |isbn=978-981-15-1420-3 |pages=1662-1672 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=sDLnDwAAQBAJ |chapter=Computing for the Mitigation of Health Vulnerabilities for the Village Morasiya in Bihar, India}}</ref>
