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.
