Prasad Sharma
In karauli, the quality of education is very poor.
Unemployment is a major issue, to resolve this issue is the need
of the hour.
There are no industries and factories. People migrate to other places
in search of jobs.
Women lack awareness on many issues due to illiteracy.
Karauli doesn’t have good medical and engineering colleges.
Government should make provisions for it so that the youth do not
migrate to other districts for getting quality education.
