It is a peaceful residential and agricultural village. However, due to large migration to the America, Europe and [[Persian Gulf|Gulf]] in the 1970s and '80s the place has become economically prosperous. It is a peaceful semi-urban village where people of all religions live peacefully. Othera is amongst the most developed Indian villages due to the large amount of NRIs.{{citation needed|date=April 2021}}
