Challenges of the district : Our research with local communities Sabarkantha is a tribal region. Unavailability of
water is the main challenge we face.
Health and education is also another grave issue that needs urgent
attention. Infrastructure is also very weak. The schools are not well
maintained and the quality is not that great.
The main issue faced by the youth is unemployment.
Migration is also a big issue. People go out in search of jobs.
Environmental issue is also a growing concern.
