Challenges of the district : Our research with local communities The condition of roads is very bad. This results in
loss of income from transfer of agricultural products (like fruits
& vegetables) from the district to the main market. This also
has increased air pollution in the district.
Children are yet to receive primary education. Lack of teachers is
another main concern in the education sector of the district. Mid
Day Meal programme is not that successful, specially in the primary
section of the schools.
Brief About Siramaur
District
Origin of the Name
About the origin of the name,”Sirmour”
there are quite a few surmises.One view being that
the state derived its name as Sirmour because of the senior
position it held amongst the princely hill
states.Another version is that
at the earliest times the capital of the state was at Sirmour
and the state was so called after the name of the capital.But,how
the word Sirmour originated is not known.Third version being that
the state was founded by Raja Rasaloo
of Jaisalmer whose one of the ancestor’s name was
Sirmour and who belonged to Rasaloo family.Beyond this, nothing
definite is traceable.
