: 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.
