Gadag: Hulkoti village of the district bagged the first rank in the Mission Antyodaya Survey conducted by the Union government from October to December 2020. Nandagad and Kulagod gram panchayats of Belagavi district were also in the top 10.

The Union government had directed to conduct this survey to check on the standard of living in rural areas across India.

Hulkoti village known for the co-operative movement in Karnataka got a score of 90% for providing clean water for drinking, good roads, having 82.23% literacy, and a good drainage system.

The Antyodaya Survey had 141 questions on rural development and gram panchayat staff answered them with relevant pictures.

Hulkoti village has 2733 families and each of them gets clean drinking water. The village has a 42-km underground drainage system. All roads are asphalted and the main roads are built with cement, while the whole village is cleaned every day. The village roads have many small trees to maintain a clean environment.

The gram panchayat provides ample job opportunities to villagers under MGNREGA and other schemes. In addition to this, jobs are also created in private farms in and around Hulkoti to reduce unemployment. All these factors fetched it the No.1 position in India.
