Gasetsho Wom ( Dzongkha : དགའ་ སེང་ ཆོ་ འོག མ་ ) is one of fifteen Gewogs (blocks) of the Wangdue Phodrang Dzongkhag in central Bhutan . Gasetsho Wom Gewog is in turn divided into five Chiwogs (constituencies). According to the 2005 census, 722 people live in this weight in an area of 208 km² in 148 households. The Dzongkhag administration states on its website a population of 863 people who live in 106 households in nine villages. The election commission lists seven named settlements in its list.
The Gewog is located in the southwest of the Wangdue Phodrang district at an average altitude of around 1700 m and around 70% of it is covered by forest. The terrain is mostly steep and rugged with occasional sections of less steep slopes. The staple food is rice, which almost all households grow for self-sufficiency. To a lesser extent, corn and wheat are also grown, as well as mustard plants for oil production. Potatoes, chilli, beets, radishes, beans, cabbage, cauliflower and garlic as well as oranges, bananas, pomegranates, guavas , plums and peaches are also grown here for personal consumption. In addition, the population operates poultry and dairy farming to supplement their income.
In addition to the Gewog administration, state institutions have a community center and an office for the development of renewable natural resources ( RNR, Renewable Natural Resource center ) and two medical advice centers ( ORC, Outreach Clinic ). The services of a basic health care station ( BHU, Basic Health Unit ) are shared with the neighboring Gasetsho Gom Gewog . One of the educational institutions in the Gewog is a primary school with almost 200 students.
There are a total of five Buddhist temples ( Lhakhangs ) in this Gewog , which are either community or private property.
