Economy of Buguda
Buguda has a completely agricultural driven economy. This dependence is obvious consequence of the fact that Industrial and Service sector has a very marginal presence across this region. More than 70% of town’s workforce is solely dependent on agriculture sector for their economic sustenance. Many conducive factors also make agricultural a pretty productive occupation for locals here. This town not only receives substantial rainfall, but also has two irrigation dams to rely on for good harvest. These two dams are namely Baghua Dam and Dhanei Dam. It is also important to note that today considerable numbers of people from Buguda town are employed in innumerable industries in Berhampur town. In that sense Industrial sector does cast indirect influence on the local economy.
Healthcare Services in Buguda
There is a well equipped government hospital operating right into heart of Buguda town. It is the most premium healthcare institution of this small town. Although it is not a very advanced hospital but almost all local patients - suffering from major as well as minor diseases – are successfully treated at this hospital.

Although there number is not very high, but can be described as acceptable and satisfactory – especially from standard of a small local town.

Transportation in Buguda
Very similar to most small towns, even Buguda town boosts a very limited public transportation infrastructure. There are only few auto rickshaws that are currently plying across this town.

However, one pleasant factor is that Buguda town is very well connected via road to many important cities like Berhampur, Ganjam, Bhanjanagar, and Chatrapur. Direct connectivity to all these important cities is obviously huge boon – not just for economy but also for daily travelling commuters.
