Over 600 people live in Bayan-Ovoo soum center. In recent years, number of big scale facilities was constructed such as hospital, sports hall, cultural center and local government house. In 2018, soum center main heating system was upgraded completely, replacing main pipe with 273 mm, 219 mm diameter (the old one was 108 mm diameter). As a result, the existing steam boiler can no longer provide a sufficient heating source to the buildings of the soum center.
In 2013, Bayan-Ovoo soum in collaboration with Oyu Tolgoi LLC developed a model cropland to support senior citizens and farmers. The disadvantage of this cropland is its remote location from the soum center with no electricity source and it is costly to use generator for irrigation. Therefore, it is necessary to build a power line from the transformator of soum fresh water reserviuor to the cropland.

The dorm is not equipped with the ventilation system, the roof leaks during the rains, windows are cracked and the electrical cables donot comply safety standards and unsafe for the students. According to statistics, population of Mongolia is rapidly increasing since 2010 and the local population shall increase gradually.
