Jaffarabad district is administratively run by a Deputy Commissioner assisted by a team of officers. The DC could play an important role in the development of the district if there were not so many frequent transfers. The district may be regarded developed and rich from an administrative and revenue point of view.

 The role of the local government is important as it serves as an entrance for the people for approaching the authorities. It assists in the promotion of democracy at micro level. The people show a demand for the restoration of Local Bodies and their funds.

 The maintenance of law and order in the district is dealt with by the Police Department, which is well established and organized. The fact that the district has no "B area" makes the role of the SP office both important and demanding.

 There are various sources of revenue in the district. The major source is the land revenue on rice crops. This is particularly true for Usta Mohammad. The revenue includes taxes / income sources on property, vehicle, octroi, agriculture etc.

 Although political parties play some role in the district, candidature and support are mostly personally and socially determined. NGO’s only play a marginal role in the development of the district.
