More than 80% of rural population depends on agriculture. But due to lack of knowledge, care and skills, the agriculture is not giving good yields/results. Hence, people are migrating to metro cities. Mostly men are migrating to other areas leaving women and children in the same village. Men generally make illegal contacts with other women in the new areas and gets infections. Once a while they will visit their own village and transfer his infections to his wife/children. After some time, men who migrate to cities settle in the new areas and unofficially leave their wives. Therefore, most of the women & children in the villages are forced to prostitution for the livelihood/survival.
Farmers are changing their minds with the influence of media and commercial companies and shifting from organic to chemical fertilizers. In other hand, by using more chemical fertilizers and pesticides the agricultural lands day by day loose its fertility and after some years, become barren and it will not be suitable for cultivation. Chemicals are not only affecting land but also to the water, atmosphere, birds, animals which are eco friendly to the agriculture.
Since, more chemicals are used in the agriculture, the food grains; vegetables are containing dangerous chemical effects. Therefore, the people are now leading life with many health problems. Especially newly born and infant children face so many problems. In recent studies it was found that there are chemical influences even in the mother's milk . The time has come now that, everybody should think how dangerous situation, we are leading our life now.
Due to illegal felling of tress, there was fast run off of water during the rains and because of that, gullies were formed and fertile soils were eroded. Farmers are thinking of present benefit and felling the tress. Due to lack of tress the monsoons are also got disturbed and animals face problem of grazing. Farmers sell out animal due to non availability of grazing hence, natural manure is not available to the agriculture.
Unless/until the natural resources are conserved/protected the situation in the villages is not improved. The farmers need to revive the situation and should create positive atmosphere to agriculture for which farmers are required needed knowledge, skills and financial resources. Hence, SYM society planned agricultural programmes for the sustainable development.

Causes of food in security in rural and urban areas have revealed that the major cause of malnutrition among children, women and men is the lack of adequate purchasing power to permit access to balanced diets and clean drinking water. In the remote and Tribal villages, Government Schools exist far from the residential area; hence parents send their children to the Government Schools reluctantly.
Most of the government schools are run with a single teacher or insufficient staff. Each teacher is supposed to take care of 100 to 150 pupils from 2 or 3 classes. Naturally teachers are unable to provide personal care and the quality of education is very poor.
At the same time, Parents conclude that their children will not progress much. Hence, parents feel sending their children to Government Schools is a waste of time. They prefer to send their children to work in agricultural farms or rear sheep.
In Government Schools, the teachers follow 'teacher-centered' approach. They always shout at and beat children. They don't take children's interests into consideration. Hence, children always hesitate to go the schools and search for ways to avoid going to school.
Issue of education and children in our border area are
- Language is a major problem - bilingual teaching does not take place in schools. Neither children have text books in their mother tongue. Has a result large number of children dropout from schools.
- Majority of the teachers do not have capacity to teach in bilingual.
- Poor monitoring of the school system by the concerned officials, leads to poor output among the teachers
- Large number of schools and children don't get text and note books during most of the academic year.
- Most of the border villages are at a distance from each other and pursing middle school and high school (upper primary or high school) education becomes difficult for girl children as these schools are stationed at Grama Panchyat or Hobli level.
- Due to fear of kidnapping for trafficking, many girls are removed from school, when the attain puberty.
- Majority of the schools function less than the prescribed time of the school. Teachers come late and go early due to the non-availability of transport system to bordering villages. Neither do they stay in villages, due to poor infrastructure in the villages. Many villages don't have toilet facilities at residence.
