Lhuentse is one of the least developed Dzongkhags in the country. Apart from the district highway, the Dzongkhag lacks internal motor roads and most villages still remain remote and inaccessible by motor roads. Majority of the households have no access to electricity. Difficult terrain and scattered settlements make delivery of services costly and challenging.

The Dzongkhag has eight gewogs, namely Gangzur, Jaray, Khoma, Kurtoe, Menbi, Metsho, Minjay and Tsenkhar with a total of 2506 households.
One hospital, 11 Basic Health Units (BHUs) and 31 Outreach Clinics (ORCs) render public health services in the Dzongkhag. About 50% of the households have access to piped drinking water supply.
The Dzongkhag has 12 Community Schools, six primary schools and two Lower Secondary Schools rendering education coverage.
Limited agriculture land and other farm infrastructure pose considerable problem in enhancing farm production and productivity. Despite favourable climatic conditions, farming remains largely subsistence.
