KUANTAN, April 27 (Bernama) -- The Federal Territories Department has selected Kampung Jerantut Feri in Jerantut as its MADANI adopted village.
In a statement today, the department said the selection builds on the Santuni MADANI programme that was carried out in the village last year, to benefit approximately 4,000 residents in the area.
"Last year, we installed solar lights, repainted the mosque fence, provided school supplies for more than 120 children from Tadika Perpaduan and Sekolah Kebangsaan Pedah, as well as distributed fish fry to 13 patin fish farmers," the statement read.
It noted that despite several upgrades, the village needs further road maintenance and upgrades, repairs to the community hall, installation of street lights as well as a new multipurpose hall, futsal court and playground.
"The Village Development and Security Committee has helped identify locations for upgrading, repairs and maintenance of existing public facilities to allow works to proceed promptly," it said.
The department added that the MADANI Adopted Village engagement session held today marked a proactive step by the MADANI Government to drive holistic and continuous rural development.
"The MADANI Adopted Village programme aims to strengthen the socio-economic aspects of rural communities, bringing inclusive, holistic, and long-term development," read the statement.
