In 2026, Udmurtia will receive a record 3.5 billion rubles for rural development.

These funds will be used for the construction and repair of social facilities and infrastructure in rural areas under the state program "Integrated Development of Rural Areas."
This was announced by Udmurtia's Head, Alexander Brechalov, at an extended staff meeting.
"The Russian Ministry of Agriculture will allocate a record sum of over 3.5 billion rubles to us in 2026. What does this mean for the republic's residents? These are dozens of facilities that we will build and repair throughout Udmurtia. We will continue building a children's art school and a wastewater treatment plant in Uva, begin construction of a community center in Kambarka, overhaul a number of social facilities in Balezino, and reconstruct the wastewater treatment plant there," said Alexander Brechalov.
According to the regional head, Udmurtia received approximately 1.2 billion rubles in federal funds annually, an excellent result. The republic was among the top six regions in the country for funding. Alexander Brechalov emphasized the importance of each project and instructed municipal heads to double-check all documents and sign contracts with contractors. "We must not just launch projects on the same day, but a day earlier," the Head emphasized.
This year, the Russian Ministry of Agriculture selected a list of long-term development plans for key settlements through 2028. Applications for the development of several districts in Udmurtia have already been approved. 2.1 billion rubles are planned for 2027, and 1.1 billion rubles for 2028.
