: Sudhir Tiwari
· Lack of employment opportunities
· Literacy rate and quality of education is pitiable, specially
in interior parts of the district.
· It is very difficult to teach the children residing in
the border of Chhattisgarh and MP, as they only understand their
regional language and very less effort are taken to educate them.
· Dengue & malaria are two main sickness of the district
due to which people have lost their life.
· Even after government’s effort in implementing total
sanitation across the district, people are least bothered to take
any action on the same.
