As a result, the number of unemployed is increasing day by day. Apart from Adani project, there is no other major project in the district. Due to which the educated unemployed of the district are trying to find employment by going to another city.

In which farmers are hopeful on a large scale in the Kharif season. The main occupation of the district is agriculture. But in this direction no concrete steps are being taken in terms of employment in the district. Due to which the youth of this place is still waiting for the industrial revolution.
