More than 60% of the population have access to piped drinking water supply and 30% of the households have electricity. The gewog has a community school with 258 students but relies on Mongar for most of the facilities.[2] The farmers of Tashipong are dependent upon spring water.

Agricultural production has increased by 8% in Chhali Gewog in 2011. The villagers mainly engage in subsistence farming but vegetable and animal products (such as cheese, butter and eggs) are sold at the market.
