Marabahan, S Kalimantan (Antaranews Kalsel) - Regent Barito Kuala, South Kalimantan, Hj Noormiliyani AS said according to statistical data from 195 villages in the district there are 39 villages still in the underdeveloped category.
"We are targeting by 2022 there will no longer be a disadvantaged village," said Regent Hj Noormiyani AS in Marabahan on Monday.
According to her, in an effort to get these villages out of the category of underdeveloped villages, in 2018 the district government has implemented a special program for the Kuala Lupak Village, Tabunganen Subdistrict.
In 2019 the same program will be carried out again for nine villages in several sub-districts and the remainder in stages until 2022.
Related to urban improving efforts, the first female regent in South Kalimantan hoped that there would be holistic and integrated planning because so far the planning made was still considered partial.
For the short term, all parties concerned prioritize town structuring at points that still look unsightly.

She reminded that based on the 2018 Ombudsman's assessment, Batola is one of six regencies in South Kalimantan have not met public service standards.
