On the one hand there is a shortage of teachers for Adult Education and on the other, the adults feel shy of starting to learn at a late age and attend classes. Moreover, the adult villagers have little time to spare for attending classes as the job of a farmer is very strenuous.

Efforts to enhance adult education will ultimately discourage tendency to migrate to towns for better earning.
