| 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.
