Challenges of the district : Our research with local communities There are several problems in Sikar. Poverty is the
main challenge we face.
The roads are not well maintained.
Education quality is also not good. Government should try to bring
in some change in the quality of education.
There are no major business avenues in Sikar. If government could
bring in some industries or factories the labour problem can be solved.
