🏘️ Devča

Devča is a village situated in the Nišava district in Merošina municipality in Serbia. According to the 2002 census, there were 492 inhabitants. The population is completely dedicated to agriculture: fruit growing, vegetables, and to a lesser extent cattle breeding. The current situation in agriculture is very difficult due to the exhaustion of households' own funds, and also due to the lack of agricultural cooperatives. A larger number of younger residents are employed in the nearby towns of Niš and Prokuplje. In recent years, about 9 kilometers of road infrastructure has been renewed; a new primary school has been built, as well as a preschool institution.
