Education

The education department runs primary, middle and secondary schools. However, there are very few middle and high school facilities for girls. In addition, these facilities are available inly at the taluka headquarters which are not very easy to travel for the vast majority of students especially girls. further there is lack of hostel facilities in the taluka headquarters for students from the country side. where schools are available an increasing number of lower caste Hindus and Muslims send their children to them.

A table showing number of institutions and students in the district for the year 1997-98 is as follows:
