Voice of Jyotiba Phule Nagar : Puneet Mathur

Majority of the population in our district are illiterate. Due to this people lack awareness about various social issues. The present condition is such that we need good schools that can admit both children and adults. The youths need technical education for better employment prospects. So a technical school is also needed. Awareness programmes should also be implemented by the Government.
