Issues
- Vijaypur was transferred against the wishes of its people to the newly created district of Sheopur in 1998 from Morena district. People resent this because it is more well connected and integrated with Morena than Sheopur. Even after 23 years of being in Sheopur, transportation with Sheopur is very poor.
- Vijaypur is again being neglected in the proposed upgrade of broad gauge. It is an upgrade that is high demand.
- There is no political initiative yet to make it a tourist destination by developing it as an attractive gateway to the nearby Kuno Wildlife Sanctuary.
