Challenges of the district : Our research with local communities Educational backwardness is the major challenge
faced by the people of Kishanganj. As per the census of 2001 Kishanganj
is the least literate district of Bihar. Among women the literacy
rate is only 18% and among minority communities it’s even
worse. Government doesn’t provide with good infrastructure.
Lack of good hospitals, shortage of doctors and unavailability
of medicines are key health hazards in the district.
