Public Utility Services in Damoh

Today public utility services in Damoh are surely in better shape and condition than ever before. This is at least true about many critical services like electricity, mobile services and healthcare services. Besides, other critical services like banking services and gas & oil supply are also showing definite signs of improvement. Below is complete and comprehensive description of all the important public utility services in Domah District of Madhya Pradesh. Including some solutions that can potentially further improve the quality of public utility services in the district.

Electricity Supply in Damoh

Among all the critical services electricity supply has shown the most improvement. This is all thanks to Atal Jyoti Abhiyan scheme, an ambitious scheme started many years ago by Madhya Pradesh state government to supply 24/7 electricity to all the districts of Madhya Pradesh. Damoh District became part of this ambitious scheme on 23rd June 2013. The scheme was launched by none other than Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan. This ambitious scheme, needless to say, has pulled out ordinary citizens of Damoh from decades of darkness. As decades of painful load shedding and constant power cuts have eventually become thing of past. This being said, still many villages and towns do witness power cuts, but daily hours of power cuts have surely gone down. And above all, at least critically important cities like main city of Domah and its adjoining towns are today receiving 24/7 electricity.

Healthcare Services in Damoh

Although Damoh doesn’t have any state-of-the-art multi specialty or super specialty hospital or even a prominent medical college for that matter, but healthcare services are slowly but surely improving. Nonetheless, whatever improvement that has happened over the decades has lead to increase in number of private hospitals, clinics and even specialist doctors. In other words, Damoh never had so many hospitals, clinics and specialist doctors as it is having today. And their increased presence has obviously had a huge positive impact on the healthcare index of Damoh.

Banking Services in Damoh

Banking service in Damoh was never so strong as it today. All topmost commercial banks of India, government as well as private banks, are today operating their branches in Damoh District. But as is the case with hospitals and clinics, even banks are not evenly spread out across the district. To put it more simply, most of the reputed banks are located in and around headquarter city of Damoh. Hence even today people living in far away villages and towns have to depend on small micro finance companies and money lenders for their financial needs.

Postal Services in Damoh

One of the definite signs that Damoh is indeed keeping abreast with changing times is growing presence of new age courier services. As for traditional postal services are concerned, then owing to presence of private courier companies people are now less dependent on traditional postal services. Nonetheless, their importance hasn’t completely diminished. Not at least in those villages and towns where courier companies have minimal or no presence at all. But considering how important alternative they are to postal services, their presence in these small villages and towns would be more than welcome.

Fuel Supply in Damoh

As today Damoh is slowly integrating itself to modern and urban economy, the importance of uninterrupted supply of petrol and gas has become immensely critical. Damoh, in other words, never had so many LPG gas users and private pumps as it is having today. To cope with such high demand, there obviously exists good number of petrol pumps and LPG gas agencies in the district. But demand for petrol and LPG gas in district is so high that these existing numbers of petrol pumps and agencies are not enough to cope with it. This is especially true about petrol and diesel. As for LPG gas cylinder is concerned, then their huge demand is somewhat negated as large amount of people still use cow dung and fire woods to cook their food.

Telecom Services in Damoh

Spurred by mobile revolution that took off 10 years back Damoh in last one decade has taken huge leap in mobile connectivity. Damoh, in other words, is fully integrated with rest of India through mobile connectivity. And what is even better is that mobile connectivity is evenly spread across the entire district. This mean even small villages and towns have good number of mobile connections. As for internet connectivity is concerned, then even it is showing sign of growth. The new age 3G and 2G internet services have already been rolled out in main city of Damoh and its adjoining towns. However, internet does weaken as you move ahead from main city of Damoh. This though in all likelihood is going to change in coming years.

From all the above information we can conclude that while all the critical public utility services have shown definite signs of improvement, but their reach is limited only to main city of Damoh and its adjoining towns.
