We face acute water shortage and frequent load shedding
The education facilities are quite good in Bijnor. Every village
has a government school. We do have medical, engineering and technical
colleges.
Unemployment is the grave issue faced by the youth. Inspite of being
literate they are not able to find lucrative jobs. This causes another
problem of migration.

Brief About Bijnor District
Binor, or more correctly Bijnaur, occupies the
north-west corner of the Rohilkhand or Bareilly Division, and is
a roughly triangular stretch of country with its apex to the north.
The western boundary is formed throughout by the deep stream of
the river Ganges, beyond which lie the four districts of Dehradun,
Saharanpur, Muzaffarnagar and Meerut, all belonging to the meerut
Division. To the north and north-east in the hill country of Garhwal,
the dividing ling being the submontane road, which runs from Hardwar
along the foot of the Himalayas to Ramanagar, Haldwani and Tanakpur.
This road, popularly known as the Kandi Saradk, belongs throughout
its length to Garhwal, the transfer having taken place a few years
since. On the east the Phika river for the greater part of its course
constitutes the boundary, separating this district from Naini Tal
and Moradabad, as far as its junction with the Ramganga; and to
the south lie the Thakurdwara, Amroha, and Hasanpur tahsils of Moradabad,
the boundary being conventional and undetermined by natural features.
The extreme parallels of north latitued are 29 2' and 29 58' and
of east longitude 78 0' and 78 57' from Lalitpur, the most northerly
point, to koti Rao in the furthest eastern corner the distance in
56 miles; and from koti Rao to Kamharia in the south-westerly angle
57 miles; and from Kamharia to Lalitpur 62 Miles. The total area
of the district is liable to change slightly from time to time by
reason of the erratic action of the Ganges and Ramganga: in 1906
it amounted to 1,145,272 acres of 1789-5 square miles, the average
for the last five years being 1,147,967 acres.
There remains the low fringe of khadir along the
Ganges to the west. This generally resembles the lowlands that skirt
the rivers of the interior, the low flats which adjoin the stream
itself being purely alluvial in character, while above them rises
a terrace of higher ground extending inland as far as the chain
of staguant morasses lying immediately under the bangar cliff. But
the khadir in the district, at any rate in the southern parganas,
in of a very poor description and no whit better than that on the
opposite bank in Muzaffarnagar and Meerut.
The common tongue of the people in the Urdu or
Hindustani dialect of western Hindi. It has sometimes been classified
separately as Rohilkhandi, but there is really no marked distinction
in idiom or vocabulary between this and Hindustani. The last census
returns show that the entire population, with the exception of a
minute fragment of 740 persons in all, gave Western Hindi as their
mother-tongue, and there is no district in the United provinces
in which Urdu is more widely spoken, both by the peasants and the
educated classes. The other languages enumerated were Punjabi, Pahari,
Marwari, Bengali and English, the last occurring in 35 cases only
This district belongs to Moradabad division
of UTTAR PRADESH.
