The lack of a permanent site for an [[Auxiliary nurse midwife]] center resulted in an overall low level of health of the villagers. Ogi is a panchayat but not medical facility.

== Economy ==
Agriculture is the main livelihood of the village populace and the major population living in the village belongs to CHASA<ref>{{cite web|url=http://angul.nic.in/chap-3.htm |title= People of Angul|publisher= Angul District Official Source|accessdate=26 Mar 2014 }}</ref> community, whose traditional occupation is farming. However marginal land holding and lack of proper irrigation facilities with heavy dependency on rain water for farming often causes great hardship for the farmers. There are other occupational groups such as black smith, oil producers, gold smith, traders, and priestly class living together in the village as a single unit. In recent years, due to industrialization of [[Odisha]], a large number of youths are leaving farming occupation and getting engaged in other industrial activities.
