The literacy rate of Akhtar Colony is very low for past few year, but now yearly literacy rate is increased rapidly. Doctors, Engineers, Bank Employees, Graduates in Different Fields and many other peoples with different fields are living in Akhtar Colony. The main problem is sewerage problem. The other problem is parking of vehicles, because in Akhtar Colony there are no bungalows, there are flats with no parking facility i.e. the vehicles are parked in the street that will create problem to cross for other vehicle when already some vehicles are parked. There are no play ground and no parks.

The people of Akhtar Colony are facing acute water shortage due to illegal connections and have to rely on tanker supply most of the time. Most of the streets are not paved/carpeted for long. Overall administrative negligence is evident both by KW&SB and KBCA.
