Challenges of the district : Our research with local communities
We do not have good schools. The facilities provided by government needs lot of improvement.
We receive contaminated and polluted water.
Women are discriminated at all walks of life. They are denied employment. This makes them very vulnerable.
Unemployment is rising with each day.
Unemployed people kill their time by gambling and indulging in other malpractices.
Government should provide awareness workshops.
