Voice of Hingoli : Ugam Gramin Vikas Sanstha

Hingoli District (10 years old) is one of the newest districts of Maharashtra. It faces drought like situation once every two years. However, this year’s (2009) drought situation was more disastrous than any.

Less job opportunities have given rise to unemployment in the district. The sex ratio of the district is also very low. Due to lack of colleges children have to travel to another district to get quality education.
