According to the 2018 Village Potential Survey (Podes), the number of underdeveloped villages decreased by 8.85 percentage points, to 17.96% in 2018 from its 2014 level, based on the Village Development Index (IPD). The IPD is a composite index that reflects the level of progress or development of a village on a scale of 0-100. The higher the index, the better the village's status/level. An IPD < 50 indicates an underdeveloped village, an IPD of 50-75 indicates a developing village, and an IPD > 75 indicates a self-reliant village.
The decrease in underdeveloped villages resulted in a 5.23 percentage point increase in the number of developing villages in 2018, reaching 74.49% compared to 2014, and a 3.62 percentage point increase in the number of self-reliant villages, reaching 7.55%.
The improvement in the IPD was supported, among other factors, by an increase in the village governance dimension by 9.81 points (the highest increase), followed by infrastructure at 5.42 points, and public services at 1.88 points.
