INFRASTRUCTURE SET-UP

            Bird’s eye-view of economy of a place can be had from the available infrastructure. Since the infrastructure set-up of the district is not Go BACK properly developed, measures are being taken for the development of various sectors of basic amenities viz Transportation, Public Health, Education, Power Development, Medical facilities, Roads etc.  

POWER DEVELOPMENT

            District Pulwama is having no Hydel Power Generating Project. Electricity generated in other districts of the State is consumed here. All the villages are almost electrified except some pockets. However, two Gas Turbine Plants established at Pampore. With a total capacity of 175.00  (MW) are existing in the district.

      Though all the villages are electrified yet the power supply is not as per its requirements especially during the winter season. The need is felt to generate the electricity as per its requirement in the district. The erratic power supply have curtailed the Industrial Development in the district. The erratic and short power supply is the root cause of Industrial backwardness in the district.  No doubt diesel generator sets are used as an alternative source but same can not be an alternative source of energy in view of its high costs.

COMMUNICATION

            Development in modern times is directly proportionate to communication facilities. The district is well knit  with pacca/Kacha roads which connect the different corners of the district with main Town and other parts of the Valley / State Head Quarters. Surface transport viz Buses, Trucks, Matadors, Taxies etc. are being utilized for transportation of goods and services in the district /State.
