There are more than 4,000 residents here. The targeted work in makhallas is also producing results in Altyn-jagys. Until recently, it was difficult to get here by transport, there were not enough communication networks in the makhalla. Last year, it was included in the “Obod Makhalla” (Prosperous Neighborhood Community Area) program, and a lot of construction and landscaping work has been carried out here. Roads, power grids, drinking water and gas supply systems were upgraded.

The makhalla center has been rebuilt; playgrounds, a medical center, an entrepreneurship support center and a store are located around it. The construction of a modern sports complex is nearing completion. And above all, it creates amenities for the population.

Uzbek President has got acquainted with the changes in the makhalla, conversed with the residents.

«I am glad that your district is being improved, I see that people are contented. We will continue this work everywhere. This year, we are allocating 1.5 trillion Uzbek soums for the improving Karakalpakstan’s makhallas, recovering roads, enhancing the efficiency of water and energy supply, constructing and repairing schools, kindergartens and medical centers. Besides, additional funds for 500 million Uzbek soums will be allocated to each of the 452 makhallas of Karakalpakstan. The makhallas are more aware of their problems. Therefore, we will give funds, and they will control themselves. In this case, there will be quality and benefits. People will be satisfied», the President has said.

A particular attention is also paid to supporting entrepreneurship and creating new jobs in the makhalla. The soil here is unfavorable for agriculture. The residents earn mostly by providing services. There are consumer service centers, sewing enterprises, bakeries, a furniture workshop and a technical service point. In the future, it is planned to develop rabbit breeding and fishing.
