people are falsely registered in the village as "Swatantrata Senanis" (independence fighters), only three people (alive during the registration) are believed to have gone to jail (the criterion for benefits under the freedom fighter pension and benefits scheme). The last of these three- Ram Dahin Singh, died in 2010. Economy and Infrastructure Neyamatpur's economy is primarily agricultural. However, some people own businesses and others have jobs in the public and private sectors. Neori is the nearest marketplace. Some people from the village have businesses there. Belaganj ("Bela") is about 4.5 km away and serves as a larger market for goods and services that Neori cannot provide. The city of Gaya is about 14 km to the south of Neyamatpur and is connected by both rail and road. Neyamatpur was the first railway halt built on the Patna-Gaya rail line but barring the short stoppage of common "passenger" trains, no major trains stop here. The railway halt in the village of Or was built decades later and is only about 2 km to the south. There is a small government school, a petrol pump (gas station) and two Hindu temples in the village. The nearest hospital is in Belaganj but there are a few pharmacies in the nearby market of Neori village. The village has a playground called the "Field" or "Peed Par" next to the pond. Neyamatpur has had its own cricket and football teams; various sports tournaments have been organized by the village. People from the nearest village of Nehalpur often play in the Field too.
