Binoy Roaja Para is situated at the foothills of Longthorai. The village is habutuated by tribal communities like Noatia, Tripuri, Chakma, Reang, Aaslong, Debbarma. The elders never have been to school. The only school is broken. Few youths have been to college. They have no awarness about blood donation neither they have donates blood. But 14 youths donated blood on the ocassion of setting up of a club namely Longthorai Hathai club.
