The main crops grown here are Wheat and Paddy. The irrigation facility is mainly dependent on rains. The eastern side of the village is although having a canal but it is at the very tail end where water seldom flows. There is belief that the Rajput people of the village have their roots with Jaipur dynasty, Kakan kings and they have migrated to this place 500 years ago. Late Mahipat Singh was one of them whose successors are currently living in the Kasmaria village.

However the village is culturally rich but the people of the village are economically backward. The village is yet to witness any sign of development that has taken place in the post independence era of India. The village has not been electrified as yet and all-weather road is also not there for linking this village either to its block headquarters, subdivision town or even with the district headquarters, which is at Ara.
