Voice of Gajapati : S. Motilal Reddy

Gajapati is a very backward district. Here almost 70% of the population is of tribes.
We face issues related to environment. The green environment is getting destroyed.
The quality of education is very poor. The schools do not conduct regular classes.
Unemployment is also one major hurdle faced by us.
