B R I E F H I S T O R Y
Budgam District derives its name from one of its villages, which is its headquarter. Till the last Census held in 1941 in the pre- independence period, the area was known as Sri Pratap Singh Pora named after Dogra ruler Mahraja Pratab Singh in whose rule it was constituted as a tehsil for the first time. Prior to 1951, the Tehsil of Budgam including other tehsils of the present District formed a part of the Baramulla District. Consequent upon the administrative reorganization of Districts in the year 1979, Budgam District was carved out of erst-while District Srinagar. The District falls at a distance of about 14 kms from the main city of Srinagar (Lal Chowk). The District has a distinction of adopting in heritage of being the resting place of great spiritual saint Sheikh Noor-ud-din Wali (R.A) at Chari-Sharief besides the Shrines/tombs of other prominent Saints & Sufis of great historical & religious significance are also located in this District which include shrine of Hazrat Ali Aali Bulkhi (Pakherpora), tomb of Mir Shams-ud-Din Iraqi (R.A), Shrine of Gunj Baba Reshi, Shrine of Syed Salleh Khansahib, the tomb of Zia-ud-din Bukhari, the tomb of Syed Taj-u-Din, the tomb of Sham Ded (Poshker) etc.

The District however, experiences adequate rainfall but the kandi area of the District often receives insufficient rainfall causing sometimes complete crop failures. On the other hand, the low-lying areas flanking on left side of the Jhelum are marshy and often flooded during heavy rains. The District had earlier 3 metrological stations for recording the rainfall, which has turned non-functional for last few years past. 6 The District had 475 inhabited villages and 21 un-inhabited villages as per 1981 census, however as per 2001 census, the District consists of 470 inhabited villages and 13 un-inhabited villages and as per census 2011, the District consists of 460 inhabited villages and 12 un-habited villages. The District consists of 6 towns excluding some urban areas out growths which fall in the urban augmentation of District
Srinagar. It is constituent of Nine Tehsils namely Budgam, Beerwah,
Chadoora, Khansahib, Khag, Charisharief, B.K.Pora, Narbal and

IV IRRIGATION: -
Irrigation is the crucial input for the development of agriculture. It effects agricultural production directly; its importance for achieving self-sufficiency in food grains needs no emphasis. The major source of irrigation in the District continued to be canals; this source alone irrigates about 25757 Hects (over 63.5%) out of 40550 hectares of gross area irrigated in the District. The other sources of irrigation are springs, tube wells, water tanks and wells .The 29861 hectares of net area irrigated against 43654 hectares of net area sown is posing a challenge and efforts are being made by the department of irrigation 14 to augment the net area irrigated and stabilize the existing infrastructure in the District.
V. LIVE STOCK: - Historically live stock was treated as sub sector of agriculture. Livestock is marketing deep in routes in the rural economy of the District by providing gainful employment to small and marginal framers. Livestock rearing is the subsidiary occupation of almost all the population associated with agriculture as the two sectors are interdependent. The District offers as good potential for livestock rearing. The total population of livestock in 2019 was 3.482 lakhs and poultry population was recorded as 11.156 lakh birds. Comparing the livestock population of 2007 with that of the corresponding census results of 2012 the overall population of livestock has decreased by 18.27 %. While comparing the species wise of two censuses i.e Livestock census of 2007 and livestock census of 2012 there has been decline of 13.50% in respect of sheep and 23.37 % decline for goat. The decline may be attributed due to shortage/ rise in cost of feed and fodder and vanishing of grazing pastures.
The local non-descriptive cattle into high yielding cross bread cattle has remained the focus of the department. With the use of Frozen Semen. Technology it has received a boost in the District particularly after installation of LN2 plant. During the year 2019-20, 74921 artificial inseminations were conducted and 36943 cross breed calves were born in the District. The Milk production due to up gradation of cattle has risen over the years.
15 VI. FORESTS:-
District Budgam has 480 Sq. Kms of area under forests, constituting about 35% of the total geographical area. Forest plays a significant role in maintaining the ecological balance and biodiversity. Besides, forests are main source of timber, fuel, fodder, medicine & other non-timber minor products.
There is no denying fact that forest wealth in the District has depleted due to increasing pressure of population. To combat this menace various afforestation programmes are being implemented in the District especially rehabilitation of degraded forests by way of fencing, plantation of broad leaved plants, patch sowing and dibbling of HC nuts and check damming.
The deficit in demand and supply of forest products i.e timber, firewood and fodder pinching the state hard by mid-seventies. Due to the ever increasing population pressure the supply/demand gaps continued to get further widened. It was observed that part of the forest, degraded beyond repairs, was not able to regenerate / rehabitate on its own. To bridge this gap, the social forestry now functioning as an independent department is addressing the basic problem of Rural Society with regard to supply of fuel, wood, fodder, small timber etc. The department is engaged in treatment of area with regard to plantation programme under rehabilitation of degraded forests, village wood lot, and strip plantation and pasture development schemes.

VII. FISHERIES:-
The diverse agro-climatic conditions of the District have tremendous potential development of cold and warm water fisheries. The places which offer great potential for warm and cold water fisheries are Yousmarg, Nil Nag, Basant Wooder, Sukhnag etc. Besides trout rearing has great scope in the district.

There is one power generating unit of installed capacity of 7.5 MW at Brenwar Chadoora. In spite of coverage of all the inhabited census villages, the power sector is a great challenge in view of transmission losses and erratic distribution of power. However, APDRP had been of great help in filling up the gaps in the infrastructure i,e replacement of conductor, rationalization of distribution transformers etc. The total no. of electric installation by 2019-20 stood at 105164, with total utilization of energy 7154.60 lac KW for domestic, commercial, industrial, irrigation, water works, street lighting, Govt. offices etc. In addition solar energy facility is also being extended to un-electrified villages and hamlets through science and technology department.
