Phisical facilities
Children's are future of every country and at least basic facilities like drinking water and toilets should be provided by
state government to them. but unfortunately there is no nothing have done by government and it's shameless condition that region has not facility of toilets for girls. Hamirpur and Jalaun districts these facilities must expand and also
in other districts so that all the schools cover these facilities .
None Growth of School
In UP
Bundelkhand, there was about one center school every three towns; in MP
Bundelkhand, the figure was one every five towns. Under 10% of towns in the
whole district had an optional school.
while
Panjab and Maharastra state government has developed a number of
universities for their students and As per Current Figure in
Bundelkhand more than 11,000 towns, there were just 35 towns with
schools.
Employment
All the concerned districts of Bundelkhandhave their economy predominantly based on agriculture. But the infertility of
land, low productivity, improper land distribution in which a few medium and
large farmers have major share in land holdings, lack of irrigation facilities
and unscientific cultivation in terms of non-use of modern methods in
agriculture have kept the agriculture-based economy on the verge of subsistence
only.
Naturally, small land holdings are not very
productive and useful for scientific cultivation. That is why, the major
population is living with subsistence agricultural production. Such population
is that of backward classes/SC/ST.
Unlike Tikamgarh, area under irrigation in
Chhatarpur district is very small. Only 39.86% of the total sown area in the
district is under irrigation. So the agriculture is largely rain-fed. The poor
facilities of irrigation hits the blocks Gaurihar, Londi, Baxwaha and Bijawar
badly
because these are least irrigated blocks.
Around 54,885 wells, 143 officially controlled ponds, 5 tubewells and only 30
canals don’t serve the purpose of irrigation of district Chhatarpur. The
productivity of the crops itself show the scene in agriculture. The
productivity of wheat is 1960kg/ha in irrigated area, which is lower than the
productivity in Tikamgarh. Productivity of rice is only 455 kg/ha. While the
productivity of Soyabean in Tikamgarh is 1248 kg/ha, it is only 588 kg/ha in
Chhatarpur. So, the agriculture is at a very poor state in Chhatarpur.
Conclusion
The social relations in Bundelkhand are still
based on feudalism and its remains. Thakurs or zamindar and Brahmins dominate
in the traditional power structure. The previous caste based hierarchical order
prevails in the region. No poor can question the dominance of feudal lords.
Feudal forces control land and mining and also the forests and forests
products. The semi feudal production relations are characterised by the
traditional socio economic dominance of the top peasantry over the middle and
poor peasants and the agricultural labourers who were mostly landless. The top
peasantry or big farmers are mostly from the upper castes namely Thakurs and
Brahmins. The trade and business is controlled by Banias and Jains. The middle and lower middle
peasants were essentially from the middle castes and backward castes.
Agricultural labourers were mostly from the SC and ST.
