JAKARTA: State Minister for the Development of Disadvantaged Regions Muhammad Lukman Edy said Sunday his office was aiming to improve people's welfare in 40 disadvantaged regencies across the country.
"We aim to omit these regencies from our list of disadvantaged regencies by the end of the year," he said, as quoted by Detik.com.
Among the targeted 40 regencies are Pandeglang regency in Banten and Gunung Kidul regency in Yogyakarta.
According to the ministry's records, 199 regencies from some 400 regencies across the country are disadvantaged.
Edy said the ministry was tasked with improving infrastructure and human resources in the regencies so as they could compete with other regencies to improve their revenue.
