Vice Presidential Candidate number one, Muhaimin Iskandar, also known as Cak Imin, stated that 13,000 villages have been transformed into independent villages, while 4,000 villages remain underdeveloped.

He made this statement during the fourth Presidential and Vice Presidential Debate 2024, themed "Sustainable Development, Natural Resources, Environment, Energy, Food, Agrarian, Indigenous Communities, and Villages," held at the Jakarta Convention Center (JCC), Jakarta, on Sunday (21/1/2024).

In the Q&A session, the moderator asked Cak Imin about strategies to encourage villagers to develop their villages.

He responded that since the enactment of the law on village development, accompanied by policies to increase village funds, rural conditions have improved.

“Today, 13,000 underdeveloped villages have become independent villages. Now there are only 4,000 (underdeveloped villages) left. This proves that our infrastructure is working well, village funds are working well, so that villagers are increasingly comfortable,” said Cak Imin.

Cak Imin's statement is partially consistent with data from the Developing Village Index (IDM) of the Ministry of Villages, Development of Disadvantaged Regions, and Transmigration (Kemendes PDTT).

According to Kemendes PDTT data, until the end of 2023, there were indeed around 4,000 "very underdeveloped" villages, precisely 4,382 villages.

However, there are still 6,803 other villages with "underdeveloped" status. Until the end of last year, only 11,456 villages had "independent" status.
