Jiagang Cun (Tibetan: ལྕགས་སྒང; Simplified Chinese: 甲岗村), also called Jaggang[1] is a village in Risong Township of Rutog County that is administered as part of the Ngari Prefecture, Tibet Autonomous Region by China.[2] In 2014, its construction as a "demonstration village" started, continuing into 2018.[3] The redevelopment of Jiagang was part of a larger drive to improve border villages and towns in the region under China's poverty relief campaign.[4]
The new village is close to a traditional village called Churkang that lay at the intersection of routes from Tashigang and Ladakh's Skakjung valley. During the British Raj era, monthly fairs were held here for trade between India and Tibet.[5]
Geography
The village is located about 80 kilometers away from the county seat of Rutog Town, and about 80 kilometres northeast of the Dumchele border trading point in Skakjung.[4]
Demographics
In 2016, there were 691 people in 185 households in Jiagang village.[3] This increased to 197 households with 723 people in 2018.[2] The per capita income in 2016 was CN¥ 8,060 yuan (US$ 1228.10).[3]
Economy
The village has a collective economy focusing on manufacturing, border trade, development of nurseries and husbandry. The residents are provided with government subsidies for living in the border regions. The village has access to water, electricity and cellular network coverage.[1]
