: Vikram Yadav
Gandhinagar is a developing district. In some villages there is
a vast population of tribes. The main problems faced by people are
lack of income generation, health, sanitation and education.
Women and children suffer from malnutrition and mostly pregnant
women are anemic.
There are no facilities for clean drinking water. We do not have
direct water pipes to our house. Women are forced to walk long distance
to fetch water. There is limited means of livelihood.
