Dorona Gewog
Dorona Gewog, under Dagana Dzongkhag, is a remote gewog known for cardamom and citrus farming. It comprises five chiwogs, faces monsoon-related accessibility challenges, and continues striving for development while preserving its cultural heritage and improving rural livelihoods.
Chiwogs under Dorona Gewog:
- Dorona Chhewa
- Dorona Chhoongwa
- Mangmethang (Maamedthang)
- Nimtola (Nyhitola)
- Tshalamji
Economy of Dorona Gewog
Citrus fruits and cardamom are grown in Dorona, with relatively fewer vegetables grown due to it being further from the market and cut off during the monsoon season. A farmshop was expected to be built by May 2017. Green houses with citrus saplings have been built in Mamedthang chiwog. In November 2016 a Citrus Fruit Drop Collection and Destruction campaign was held in Dorona and Drujegang Gewog, conducted by the National Plant Protection Centre in collaboration with the Dzongkhag Agriculture Sector of Dagana.
Only Mangmethang and Nimtola chiwogs cultivate paddy. In April 2017 a power tiller was introduced by the government to assist in the cultivation of maize on the steep slopes in Nimtola. (source from wikipedia)
