Unemployment is the major challenge we are facing. Youths have
no work after completing their education.
Women literacy is very low. Children do not go to schools. The drop
outs rates are high.
Parents encourage their children to work. They lack awareness about
the importance of education and hence they do not send them to school.
The roads are poorly maintained. There is no proper connectivity
between villages.
