Education
[edit]The education rate has increased since 2010, however there is no single college for males and girls in Union. Agriculture and animal farming provide the majority of income. Volleyball and Kabaddi are the prominent sports in the area. Union Jharkil boasts a number of well-known local political, social, and academic figures. Dr. Javed Iqbal Saggu is one of the most educated individuals in the neighborhood. He graduated with honors from world-renowned universities such as Quaid-i-Azan University, Tsinghua University, and Cambridge University.[citation needed]
This union council needs proper roads for inter village connectivity, high schools for girls in villages and technical college for boys.
