Bagpat is a very remote and backward district. People live below
the poverty line
Women are denied education. People are not aware about education
and its use.
Child labor is a major activity. Children work in brick Kilns without
going to schools. The literacy rate is very poor.
Government should provide vocational and skill based training to
the children so that they can be well placed.
