The major challenge in Fatehpur is of frequent load
shedding.
There are many villages without power. We receive electricity only
for six to eights hours. This makes our life very miserable.
Children are not able to study during exams. Agriculture is also
affected tremendously.
Fatehpur is not very developed district. There are no major industries
here which have led to severe unemployment.
