==Recent developments==
From an obscure village with dusty streets in the hinterland of the Malwa region, Ghudda is now being transformed into a township with modern infrastructure as the Central University of Punjab (CUP) and several other prestigious educational and technical institutions are coming up in its neighborhood.

A piece of 562 acres of land has been acquired for the CUP. Construction of the University College at a cost of Rs 12 crores (INR) is in full swing. The other institutions that are coming up are the Sports School,<ref name="Sports School Ghudda">[https://web.archive.org/web/20110929125504/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-07-21/education/29799744_1_sports-school-sports-events-minister-parkash-singh-badal ]</ref> Horse Riding Institute of the Remount and Veterinary Wing of the NCC,<ref name="R&V Squarden of NCC at Ghudda">http://www.tribuneindia.com/2010/20101109/bathinda.htm#2</ref> Veterinary Pharmacist College and a 50-bed Hospital.<ref name="Govt opens 50 bed hospital in Ghudda">http://www.tribuneindia.com/2012/20120921/battrib.htm#3</ref>
