Irafsky District

Welcome to the Irafsky District of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania. Located in the southwestern part of the republic, most of the district is mountainous. It borders Georgia, the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, and the Digorsky and Alagirsky districts. The administrative center is the village of Chikola. The population is over 15,000 people, mainly Ossetians and Russians. The Ossetians of the district speak the Digor dialect of the Ossetian language. The economy of the Irafsky District is based on agriculture—there are five collective farms and four state farms here. The district also has a consumer services complex, housing and utilities enterprises, and the Fasnalskaya Hydroelectric Power Plant. Tourism is well developed. The district is rich in historical, cultural, and natural monuments. The Alania National Park is located in the district, where there are many mountaineering, tourist, and ecological trails.

As part of his working visit, Acting Head of the Irafsky Municipal District Soslan Makoyev also visited a school in the village of Toldzgun, where major renovations are currently underway as part of the national "Youth and Children" project.

To date, the facility is 60% complete. Contractor Stroymontazh LLC has already completed demolition, completely refinished the flooring in the hallways and common areas, and replaced utility systems—from electrical to heating and water supply. Workers are currently focusing on finishing the classrooms, and will begin renovation of the façade soon.

During the inspection, special attention was paid to safety and the future comfort of children—these are currently the top priorities. All work is scheduled to be completed by August 20, 2026.

After the school, S.K. Makoyev inspected two more socially significant facilities—the feldsher-midwife station and the village community center—to assess the current status and conditions of service provision for local residents.

Overall, the field trip confirmed that important changes for the region are underway, meaning that both children and adults will soon be able to truly experience them.
