It is supposed to be only VDC in Nepal where signal of mobile and wireless service is not available. Although Ncell and NTC have built low quality smaller towers on neighbouring Rangeli and Kanepokhari routes, no signal can be felt on device on this VDC. Ranjani Chowk in Drabesh only receives signal which is extremely low. However, Cable TV and electricity has reached there. Recent Survey estimates that if huge tower would be installed in Darbesha-1, it would be able to serve good quality of signal to smartphone and mobile users in whole Drabesh including neighbouring VDCs.
Population
Major languages in this VDC includes Nepali and Maithili.
This VDC is thickly populated with major Nepalese ethnic groups such as Rajbanshi, Maithili, Brahmin and Chhetri.
