We do not have good schools. The facilities provided by government
needs lot of improvement.
We receive contaminated and polluted water.
Women are discriminated at all walks of life. They are denied employment.
This makes them very vulnerable.
Unemployment is rising with each day.
Unemployed people kill their time by gambling and indulging in other
malpractices.
Government should provide awareness workshops.
