District Development
The state government as well as private entrepreneurs have planned to develop Nankana Sahib District with various projects, including:
- A rest house for Sikh pilgrims
- A new International Hotel for the people of the district
- A shopping mall
- A housing scheme
- A modern hospital
- A road-link to the Lahore and Faisalabad dual-carriageway
In addition, the possibility of the development of an airport and university has been raised.
The Punjab government decided to link Nankana Sahib District with the provincial capital, Lahore. With these plans the Punjab government is completing "Khanqah Dogran Interchange" (on the M-2) very swiftly, which is a helpful project to develop the newly created District of Nankana Sahib. This will also give access to the Grand Trunk Road, which leads to the Indian Punjab from the Wagah border. Recently, a Nankana Sahib-Amritsar bus was inaugurated by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh of India.

Famous quotes containing the words district and/or development:
“Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
“The Cairo conference ... is about a complicated web of education and employment, consumption and poverty, development and health care. It is also about whether governments will follow where women have so clearly led them, toward safe, simple and reliable choices in family planning. While Cairo crackles with conflict, in the homes of the world the orthodoxies have been duly heard, and roundly ignored.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
