Chhudzom
Chhudzom Gewog is administratively divided into five chewogs: Barshong Toed, Barshong Maed, Gangtokha, Chunnykhang, and Toisang, with the gewog administration and RNR center located at Barshong Toed. Among these, Toisang and Chunnykhang chewogs are not connected by road. The gewog comprises 330 households with a total population of 2,383 (1,239 males and 1,144 females) residing across nine widely scattered villages. The gewog center lies approximately 28 kilometers from the Dzongkhag administration in Tsirang.
Brief Background of the Gewog:
The area’s diverse agro-ecological conditions support the cultivation of various cereal grains and horticultural crops. Major cereal crops include paddy, maize, oilseed, and wheat, while orange cultivation dominates the cash crop sector, providing significant income to farmers. Livestock rearing also plays a vital role, contributing both to household nutrition and income through the sale of surplus dairy products.
