Recurring floods is the major crisis we are facing. Floods bring
destruction.
This dampens the development of the district.
There is high illiteracy among women, Muslims and Dalits. Only about
15% women are educated.
In Muslims and Dalits the percentage is even lower.

Brief About Madhubani District
Madhubani is an administrative district in the state of Bihar in
India. The district headquarters are located at Madhubani.
The district occupies an area of 3501 km²
and has a population of 3,570,651 (as of 2001).
This is the centre of Mithila, a region where the main language
is Maithili.
The "Madhubani" style of paintings derives its name from this region
as the style originated here, in the early 17th century.
These paintings are made using vegetable dyes, and the canvas is
usually cloth or paper.
These days, several of the well-known "Mahubani" paintings are used
as motifs on bags, kurtas ( an Indian garment for covering the upper-half
of the body),
and other materials produced using the hand-block painting technique.
With ethnic-chic being in vogue, such products are all the rage,
these days, not just with the indians, but also in the export market.
