Mr. Somani
Following are the social and developmental challenges of the district:
· Scarcity of drinking is one of the major problems of the
district. Availability of drinking water in the district is only
4 to 5 days a week.
· Supply of electricity is also not accurate.
· Increase in the number of industries is causing pollution
of water bodies near by the industries.

Brief About Bhilwara District
It is not on the record as how the name of Bhilwara was ascribed
to the which now forms the district Bhilwara. Tradition has it that
it came to be known as bhilwara because it was mostly inhabited
by Bhils in old days. These Bhils were eventually driven away towards
the hilly tracts and interior places of less importance by the ancestors
of the peasant settlers. Ironically enough ,now very few Bhils live
in this area. Another version recounts that the present bhilwara
city had a mint where coins known as 'BHILADI' were minted and from
this denomination was derived the name of the district. Over the
years it has emerged out as the TEXTILE CITY of Rajasthan. Now a
days ,Bhilwara is better known as the textile city in the country.
