Pursuant to government order Kishtwar has been declared as one of the new districts, while Atholi (Paddar) which falls in Kishtwar Sub-Division has been declared as new Tehsil.It may be pertinent to mention that vide Govt.Order No.Rev(5)203 of 2005,dated 08-08-2005 three new Tehsils namely Chhatroo,Marwah and Paddar were created, and in fact three Tehsils have started functioning independently after territorial Tehsildars were posted there.But vide recent Govt.order the Committee has been asked to demarcate boundaries among others in respect of Tehsil Atholi(paddar) as well. thus, the new District Kishtwar would comprise four Tehsils including kishtwar and the committee is to demarcate boundaries of the new District kishtwar and Tehsil Atholi (Paddar)
Kishtwar sub-division is bounded by Zanskar on the north,Himachal Pardesh on the east,Doda and Bhaderwah on the south,Anantnag an d Banihal on the west.Kishtwar in the past used to be independent hill principality and was merged with the state of jammu and kashmir in 1821,A.D.With the passage of time Kishtwar became part of Tehsil of District Udhampur and remained its part till 1948, when it became part of newly created district Doda in the wake of first re-organization of the state during the post-independence period.
Kishtwar branches off in Marwa-Wadwan vally,Paddar valley,Chhatroo valley and is flanked by lofty Himalayas from all sides.The monsoon hardly reaches this part of the state which makes it a drought prone area and insufficient in food grains in particular the Marwah-Wardwan area which remains cut off for 5-6 months in a year due to snowfall in winter.IN order to avoid any starvation death sufficient stocks of food grains and other essential commodities are stored well in advance in these areas so that the public may not suffer on this account.
Kishtwar is having lot of potential for generation of Hydro Electric Power.One of the major power projects is Dul-Hasti which is at the commissioning stage.With the commissing of this project the economy of the area is sure to boost up and the pace of development of Kishtwar is sure to accelerate in the coming days. the area populary known as LAND OF SAPPHIRE AND SAFFRON is also very rich in forest products.The richest forest in jammu and kashmir are found on the high mountains and hills of Kishtwar.
Kishtwar is linked with other parts of the state by an all weather road,national highway 1-B. which remains open throughtout the year.Kishtwar is also connected with kashmir valley by Chhatroo-Synthan road, which is being upgraded into national highway.With the upgradation of this road it will become an alternate route for the tourists visiting kashmir Valley.
