Previously, it was an assembly constituency[3] but the seat was abolished in 2012 after delimitation. The area is now part of Lansdowne seat and in Lok Sabha it is part of Garhwal seat.[4]

The economy of Dhumakot is largely dependent on agriculture, with rice, and wheat being the main crops. The tehsil is also home to a number of small-scale industries, including handlooms, handicrafts, and forestry. There is a Government Degree College in the area.[5]
