Trivedi
High level of corruption in the government schemes. And unfortunately,
most of the people are still ignorant of the benefits.
Government has allocated many employment programmes for the unemployed
in the district, which hardly reaches them (unemployed).
Least interest is seen in the government officials in developing
the condition of the district.
