Voice of Ravi Kumar : Koderma

There is acute poverty in Koderma.
Unemployment is another grave challenge here.
People from Koderma migrate to metros in search of jobs.
Jharkhand is a Naxalite area, so from the past few months we have been going through hell.
Government should make some efforts to develop the lives of the tribes living in Koderma. Many NGOs have also made efforts to make these tribes literate.
Domestic violence is pervasive.
