The village is situated in the lower part of Bihar. Most of the area is agricultural land with rice as the main crop. Due to variations in annual rainfall, local farmers cannot depend on seasonal rain for irrigation and have instead constructed lined and unlined perennial wells for irrigation. A perennial canal has also been constructed by local governing bodies but the water supply is still insufficient for the farmers due to improper administration. A seasonal tributary of the River Ganga passes through the village, which is inaccessible during the summer. The river is the nearest () navigable inland waterway for mass transportation towards Kolkata in the east as well as parts of Uttar Pradesh. Demographics

Most villagers are employed in agricultural work but due to improper education and a lack of skills, total production remains insufficient to satisfy the people. Although there are two government based schools and four private schools, students must travel long distances to other cities and towns for higher and modern education. The Indian government has also introduced various anganwadi kendra to provide basic education for villagers. Panchayat 
The local panchayat consists of three villages: Nawanagar, Usra and Bhadkuda and includes a total of 13 panchayat polling booths. Munna Singh is the current mukhiya, (elected village head) of the panchayat. The sarpanch of Nawanagar is pushpa devi. Infrastructure
