Health Facilities:
Although the population of Kot Radha Kishan is around 0.1 million, it lacks proper basic healthcare facilities. There is a public hospital "Rural Health Centre" that has two medical officers, a dental technician and around six paramedics. This hospital was granted the status of "Tehsil Head-quarter Hospital by the Punjab Government but no up-gradation of persisting facilities has been taken place.
Various small private hospitals are also set up in this town but these hospitals also lack qualified nursing and paramedical staff. Noor Hospital is one of the biggest in private sector hospitals with around 30 beds. A dozen of consultants with different specialities also visit this hospital from Lahore. But surprisingly, this hospital has only one qualified nurse. All other nursing staff is unqualified and untrained. There is an operation theatre and a delivery room in this hospital. But, the anaesthetist is not passed even the matriculation. This hospital claims to have an Emergency ward but almost every serious patient is referred to Lahore due to inability of the hospital staff to deal with these cases. Many different kinds of serious incidents had happened due to the negligence and brutality of hospital staff. In the recent past, the administrator of hospital had to face court of law due to negligence in the care of a mother who died during labour.
Educational Facilities: The standard of Education in Kot Radha Kishan is relatively better as compared to healthcare facilities. In the public sector, there are two primary schools each for boys and girls, one middle school for girls and two separate high schools for boys and girls. There are two degree colleges, one for boys and the other one for girls. These colleges provide education for intermediate and degree levels. A good choice of subjects is available for students. Recently, a modern library has been built in the degree college for girls. It is hoped that this library will meet up the increasing demands of students for study of books and literature.
Government High Schools have produced an enormous number of talented students in the past.
Government schools are providing a larger share of education. These schools lack basic facilities, like class room, computer labs and prper science laboratories. However, even in these circumstances, these schools have shown impressive results as compared to the private schools.

The idea gained immense popularity with the villagers and spread rapidly across the entire village.
