Narayanpur is very much affected by the Naxalites, the main reason that the tribes of this region are disconnected from economic development. Ramakrishna Mission started in 1985 has worked to compose these tribes. Development has included schools, playground, and a stadium for the tribes.

Some Christian missionaries are also working in Narayanpur, which is helping develop the area.
