Brief Industrial Profile of Ramban District

1. General Characteristics of the District Ramban is an important town on Jammu–Srinagar National Highway 1-A, about 150 kms from Jammu and is situated on the right bank of River Chenab. Earlier, Ramban was a Sub-District of District Doda, with Tehsil Ramban and Tehsil Banihal as its constituents Ramban District has been carved out of the erstwhile District Doda which had the distinction of being second most largest District of the state because of exceptionally unique and most difficult of all other districts due to its typical Himalayan position and hilly terrain. Keeping in view the backwardness, remoteness and needs and aspirations of the people, the government in one of its landmark decisions in the history of J&K Governenances declared Ramban as independent District. Thus the District Ramban came into being on 01-04-2007, since then its functioning independently. The splitting of erstwhile District Doda into three new districts of Ramban, Kishtwar and Doda came to be seen as great administrative requirement of time.
