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.

The municipal stage of the 3rd All-Russian Family Savings and Investment Festival was held in the Irafsky District Administration.

Participants demonstrated their financial planning skills, and the event itself not only improved their financial literacy but also strengthened family ties, providing a memorable experience.

As a reminder, the festival consists of three stages: municipal, regional, and federal. The winners of the municipal round will participate in the regional stage, which will be held in Vladikavkaz on June 20, 2026.

The Khekilaev family from Chikola emerged as the winner of the three municipal stages of the festival. They will represent the Irafsky District at the regional stage on June 20, where they will compete against families from other districts for the right to advance to the finals.
