One of the most advanced villages in the nation, Dhorra Mafi has English-medium schools and institutions, as well as a 24-hour water and electricity supply. The village has between 10,000 and 11,000 residents.

Nearly 80% of residences in the village are home to at least one official who is employed by various state and central government departments. The Aligarh Muslim University, which is nearby and has been important in helping people further their education, is located adjacent to the village.

The majority of the adults in the village are self-employed, which distinguishes it from other communities. The community is also at the forefront of ensuring that all of the village's children receive an education. A second fact is that despite the village's significant contributions to India's administrative and educational systems, few Indians are even aware of it.
