Nankana Sahib is the seat of the district government, and Shahkot is the largest urban center.

App, the majority of residents in several areas within Nankana Sahib have complained about a shortage of schoolteachers, as well as a lack of access to available transport to schools located further away.

[16] 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.
