Challenges of the district
: Our research with local communities Pratapgarh is a very backward district
Unemployment is a big issue.
Agriculture is the only source of income.
Farmers are poor. They are not able to buy good quality seeds, equipments
etc.
We face acute shortage of water and there is frequent load shedding.
There are no industries in Pratapgarh which gives rise to unemployment.
Migration is another issue that needs urgent assistance. People are
leaving behind their families and moving out in search of lucrative
jobs.
Brief About Pratapgarh District Origin of District Name :
The District that forms a part of Faizabad Divison is named after
its headquarters town Bela Pratabgarh, commonly know as Pratapgarh.
Pratap Singh, a raja of the locality who flourished between 1628-1682,
fixed his headquarters at Rampur near old town of Aror. There
he built a garh (fort) and called it Pratabgarh after his own
name. Subsequently the locality around the fort came to be known
as Pratapgarh. When the district was constituted in 1858 its headquarters
was established at Bela which came to be known as Bela Pratapgarh,
the name Bela presumably being derived from the temple of Bela
Bhawani on the bank of river Sai.
