==People and occupation==
The village is home to people of Tangkhul Naga tribe. Majority of the inhabitants are Christians. Agriculture is the primary occupation for majority of the inhabitants. Nungbi Khullen is famous in the district for the age old earthen pottery making.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.easternpanorama.in/index.php?option%3Dcom_content%26view%3Darticle%26id%3D2695:the-sangai-festival-of-manipur%26catid%3D6:contents%26Itemid%3D10|title=Pottery in Manipur|publisher=Eastern Panorama|accessdate=2015-10-11}}</ref> One uniqueness of Nungbi pottery is the absence of potter's wheel while crafting. The clay and stone used as the raw materials for making Nungbi pottery is believed to be found only at Nungbi Khullen. In olden days, before the advent of aluminium and steel utensils, people from all over the Tangkhul country were believed to have solely depended on Nungbi pottery for their daily use. Even today, [[Tangkhul]]s nurture a belief that meat cooked in earthen Longpi pots taste better. This conviction is substantiated by the fact that most households in Ukhrul district have earthen Nungbi pots among their other kitchenwares. Pottery is the primary occupation for many of the inhabitants and some artisans have the distinction of being awarded state and national recognitions and accolades.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://e-pao.net/GP.asp?src=5..190114.jan14|title=Fame of Nungbi pottery|publisher=E-pao|accessdate=2015-10-11}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://e-pao.net/GP.asp?src=5..190114.jan14|title=NEC funding Nungbi pottery|publisher=E-pao|accessdate=2015-10-11}}</ref>
