Mansa is a rural town basically with the lowest literacy rate in the state, still the students of this town has done well in medical/engineering areas. Lack of colleges and institutes forces students to go out and study, which might not be possible for all the families, thus it compounds to the existing educational problems. It poses serious problems specially for the education of girls, where parents are reluctant to send their girls out of the town, thus even if the girls have potential to perform well, due to lacking facilities they are forced to stay at home. Mansa comes under classified backward areas of Punjab state and students get reservation in the govt quota for jobs or for higher studies.
Town needs serious attention from the government for the growth and development. The roads are in bad state, sewage water is another big problem and specially in rainy season, posing threat for disease outbreak.
In the past, there have been increased number of cancer cases in the area for which various governments have "said" and promised to do a lot, but practically nothing has been done to find out what is the actual cause of problem.
Past few years have seen some changes with opening of new schools and B.Ed colleges but still a lot remains to be done and the area needs a strong leader who can advocate the voice of the people and work in the true sense for the development of area.
