Challenges before the villagers

Struggling for quality education is the most important obstacle which hinders the development of the village. It is a big misfortune of the village that in spite of having so many educational institutions, the villagers still have to struggle for quality education. The teachers in these schools are less qualified as their degrees say. If one or two of them are qualified, they have been given extra educational duties to attain. In spite of all these difficulties, a significant change has occurred in the education system of the village. The majority of the students go for higher education, showing victory in several fields of study.

The position of women in the village is deteriorating, as Pardah systems are still prevalent, and they are not allowed to get higher education. In the last few years a significant check has been seen, but the treatment of women still has far to go.
