The main source of income is agriculture. The village has a primary and secondary school. Few children attend the school because of migration of citizens to nearby towns and cities like Kotdwar and sometimes further to Delhi, which is 300 kilometres (190 mi) away. Children go to Rikhnikhal/Barkhet for senior schooling.

There are few temples nearby: Dhontiyal, which is about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) from the town, and PaniSain Nausainna Devi, located about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) from the town. About 25 kilometres (16 mi) away, there is a famous temple called Tarkeshwar Mahadev. Kotdwar is about 80 kilometres (50 mi) from KotriSain.
