The Rajpers were originally farmers. Later, most of them had acquired their own land. Today nearly everyone in this tribe is well off. Some are now changing careers to government jobs and politics.
Rajpers prefer to live in the village and to look after the businesses of their forefathers. Unlike most villages, Rajper have electricity, gas, wide roads, transport facilities, a proper drainage system, schools, dispensaries/hospitals, and mini floor mills in their village. Women in this tribe are held high in respect.
The leader of the tribe is known as the Sardar. Under him are all the sub-caste leaders. All the domestic problems get solved by the leaders.
