The budget of the district was mainly for salaries and office expenses. It had neither the scope nor any provision for the development of primary education.
Schools: The status of the schools showed a decline over the period, which might be due to periodic closure of the schools or lack of adequate staff.

Though, the budget had increased, yet the expansion of schools and the number of teachers had declined during the 10 year period of study.
