Dachhan, a remote place in Kishtwar having a population of about twenty thousand souls is lacking both road and communication connectivity in this digital era of the world. Tall caims are being made by the successive Central and State Governments for long for upliftment of the far flung, backward and hilly areas of the country/State. There are various Centrally Sponsored Schemes for the development of these areas but on ground there is no development in the areas for which they are meant. The hapless, poor and backward people of Dachhan also meet the same fate in the developmental activities. Considering the population area and backwardness of the area Dachhan has been given the Status of Tehsil recently while creating new Administrative units in the State. Perhaps, this is the only administrative unit where authorities themselves feel handicapped in performing their duties forwant of these two important connectivies. What to talk of general public.

They are thus discriminated and deprived of these basic amenities of life. They despite being residents of most far flung, hilly and backward areas of the State, have got no benefit of the R.B.A. category since more than half of the State has been declared as backward by the State Government where all the modern facilities including road/communication connectivity are available. Moreover, the general public is also suffering for want of this facility. They feel handicapped in contacting their family members living outside for earning their livelihood or vice versa.
