Climate[edit]
The climate of Jelva is generally hot and semi-arid, but has a rainy season from late June to September.[citation needed]
Profession[edit]
It is an agriculturally dominating village but due to the lowering of ground water table and an increase in hardness, farming is becoming less popular. The people are rapidly switching their profession to business, mostly in the retail sector.
The crops cultivated are wheat, cotton, cumin (jeera), fennel (saunf), guar, pearl millet (बाजरी), sorghum (jowar), fenugreek (methi), etc.
Elected representatives[edit]
Currently[as of?] Mrs. Rekha Devi Banjara is sarpanch of the village, preceded by Mr. Mahendra Singh Purohit.[citation needed]
