Challenges of the district : Our research with local communities Vizianagaram is a backward district.
The economic condition of the people here is poor.
Agriculture and fishing are the source of income.
The challenges are mostly faced by women, children and youth.
Women literacy is very low. The literacy rate among the tribes is
also very depressing.
