The second hydroelectricity power plant was constructed and inaugurated in 2015.

Education

There is one school, Diamond Jubilee community based (D.J.C.B.) High School. This school was in the past until 8th standard, meaning students had to travel to neighboring villages for further education.

In the recent past the community of Ahmedabad has started an Early childhood development school system to improve the standard of education.
