Due it's geographical location and other disadvantageous factors and the process of development yet to reach. Recurring drought, crop failure makes the people to live in stress, leading to hopelessness and apathetic conditions. Normally they are unable to meet their basic requirement, thereby leading them to migrate to other states / regions in search of some livelihood / employment. The unsuccessful people remain back who are exposed to Human trafficking etc. The farmer's suicides are common in the area. Government is implementing various developmental schemes but due to lack awareness and ignorance, people are not efficiently receiving / availing these facilities.
