Internal Roads are being upgraded in mahallas across Shofirkon District

Under the Sustainable Rural Development Project, implemented with financial support from the Islamic Development Bank and the OPEC Fund for International Development, extensive efforts are underway in Shofirkon District, Bukhara Region, to improve living conditions, modernize mahalla infrastructure, and enhance rural settlements.

In addition, UZS 6.261 billion was allocated for the renovation of General Education School No. 3 in Durmon village. Following the completion of the works, the renovated school building was commissioned.

Other infrastructure improvements under the Project include:
