The Dzongkhag Administration Sector is headed by the District Engineer and is directly under the Administrative control of Dasho Dzongdag.
The Department of Urban Development and Engineering Services (DUDES) is the parent department within MOWHS with the explicit responsibility for the Dzongkhag Engineering Sector (DES) in the Dzongkhag.
The RGOB and the Dzongkhag gives a high priority to rural in fracture development as a means to improve the economic growth of the rural population. The developmental activities consist of roads/track, BHU, outreach clinics, RNR centers, and Geog centers/Gup office, Suspension bridges, Schools and other urban infrastructure constructions.
Therefore, the implementation of this infrastructure in the Dzongkhag is a joint responsibility of the national level sector Ministries and the Dzongkhag Engineering Sectors in the Dzongkhag.
During implementation there are four main stake holders. 1) DUDES and Dzongkhag Engineering Sectors, 2) Sector Ministries 3) Contractor and 4) Communities. At all levels there are constraints related to capacity and co-ordination. At the Dzongkhag level the main constraint is the limited implementation capacity includes ambitious sector plans and a low capacity in terms of engineering manpower and structural constraints related to management, planning, environmental clearance, community mobilization, work supervision and maintenance of rural infrastructures.
Therefore, it is necessary to strength the DES capacity in the Dzongkhag not only by deploying more engineers but increasing training improved management and better use of available resources.
The present strength of the engineering sector is as follows.
District Engineer 1 no
Engineer 3 nos
AE (I) 6 nos
AE (II) 1 no
JE 5 nos
B/I 1 no
Surveyor 1 no
Supporting staff 13 nos (Mason/Carpenter/Plumbers)
