We do not receive clean drinking water. The lake of our district
has got contaminated. People and even animals use this lake. This
has led to severe contamination. People frequently fall prey to
various diseases.
Very few people are literate. They illiteracy rate is very high.
Unemployment is the main culprit for all other social and development
issues.
People move out of the district in search of a livelihood.
